April 8 2008

Pete DohertyBabyshambles rocker Pete Doherty has been jailed for 14 weeks for drug use and failing to attend probation hearings on time.

The 29-year-old -- who has previously dated supermodel Kate Moss -- today attended West London Magistrates Court where Judge Davinder Lachar handed him the sentence.

A court spokesman said that Doherty had been jailed for "breach of time keeping, non-compliance of his order and using different drugs".

Doherty's rep said that he was looking into grounds for appeal.

Doherty had previously been given a suspended jail sentence by Lachar for drug offences.

The 14-week sentence would not only cover the singer's solo show at the Royal Albert Hall in London (April 26), but the Glastonbury (June 27-29) festival, which he is due to play, according the NME.
