Babyshambles bassist Drew McConnell has claimed that Pete Doherty is "surprisingly chipper" in jail.
The rocker said that he wanted to give his bandmate a "cuff round the earholes" for ending up in prison, but said that the singer was coping well.
McConnell told BBC 6 Music: "For a man behind bars, he is surprisingly chipper. It's the healthiest he's been in a while.

Supermodel nm0609017 autoKate Moss[/link]' assets rose by $4.4 million (GBP2.2million) in just one year - despite losing out on seven big contracts between 2006 and 2007.
The 33-year-old snapped up a record 18 contracts worth millions after interest in her peaked following her cocaine scandal in 2005. But that figure dropped to 11 in 2006, with stars like nm0461136 autoKeira Knightley[/link] and nm0350454 autoMaggie Gyllenhaal[/link] taking her place on the billboards for brands such as nm0151558 autoCoco Chanel[/link] and Agent Provocateur.
However, the decline in the number of contracts and the bad publicity she received for high-profile relationship with reformed drug addict nm0230607 autoPete Doherty[/link] failed to make a dent in her profits. Latest figures for her firm Skate Enterprises show its assets went from $8.8 million (GBP4.4 million) to $13.2 million (GBP6.6 million) in the year to February 2007.
Moss currently has a string of lucrative deals with Versace, Bulgari and Rimmel.

Supermodel Kate Moss is reportedly in love again after being photographed in an intimate embrace with a young man on the ski slopes of Aspen, Colorado. Moss, who recently split from rocker Pete Doherty after a well-publicized cocaine scandal, was seen with the 20-year-old, known just as Jamie, while on a skiing holiday with her family. Long-haired Jamie is 11 years younger than 31-year-old Moss. The couple are thought to have met on Sir Richard Branson's Caribbean island Necker, where Moss was invited to stay shortly after completing rehabilitation treatment at an Arizona clinic in October.

Kate Moss responded with anger when confronted about photographs appearing to show her snorting cocaine. A British newspaper yesterday published snaps of the supermodel purportedly taking the hard drug in a recording studio with her singer boyfriend Pete Doherty's band Babyshambles. But when the Daily Mirror approached the couple in New York, she told reporters to "f**k off". She said, "I don't want to know. F**k off, f**k off, f**k off! Just f**k off." According to the Daily Mirror, the pictures show Moss chopping the white powder into lines with a credit card and snorting it through a rolled up £5 note. Meanwhile, the model's father Peter insists he's "not surprised" if the allegations are true. When approached by the newspaper yesterday, he said, "It doesn't surprise me. I don't know if it's true.

Paris Hilton's marriage to Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis is facing doubts before it even begins, with a magazine poll finding them the most likely new celebrity couple to get divorced. Latsis proposed to the blonde hotel heiress earlier this summer, and the couple later flew out to Greece to hunt out an ideal wedding venue. And while they've yet to announce a date for their nuptials, readers of Blender magazine aren't too optimistic about their future together. When the publication asked which couple will end up in a divorce court first, a whopping 69 percent voted for Hilton and Latsis. As one reader notes, "You can't turn a ho into a housewife." The tally placed them well ahead of Pete Doherty and Kate Moss, who picked up 19 per cent of the vote. And former couple Renee Zellweger and Jack White's new marriages have also made the list. Eight percent believe White's romance with Karen Elson will end in divorce, while four percent predict a doomed future for Zellweger and Kenny Chesney.

Supermodel Kate Moss won her libel case with a British Sunday newspaper yesterday over its claims she collapsed into a cocaine-fuelled coma. The British-born beauty, who is dating former heroin addict Pete Doherty, has accepted a formal apology and substantial financial damages from the Sunday Mirror, according to her lawyer Gerald Tyrrell. Tyrrell told London's High Court that the newspaper accepted it had made several unfounded and defamatory allegations in the article published on January 23. The story claimed 31-year-old Moss had "collapsed into a drug induced coma and had to be revived after taking vast quantities of cocaine" in Barcelona in June 2001. Phillip Conway, representing the newspaper, told the court, "The defendant apologizes to Miss Moss for the distress and embarrassment they have caused her."...
