Front man for Babyshambles, Pete Doherty, has revealed to the world that he can’t sleep at night because he is heartbroken over the split with his ex Kate Moss.
Doherty spoke to Loaded magazine and explained: "I haven't shacked up with anyone since. I haven't shared my life with anyone.
We haven't spoken since we broke up. When you split up with someone, someone that you're seriously in love with, it takes a lot of time before you even realise that you're upset. You know? It just hits you.
I think this next album's going to be a purge, a cleaning of the soul. I hope so. Put it in for vaulting, get all the grime out. Anyone can feel amazing if you're with someone you love. There are moments in your life [when] you're genuinely happy and content."
Pete Doherty wrote a love song to Kate Moss and posted it on YouTube.
Meanwhile Moss had moved on and was linked with Jamie Hince, guitarist for The Kills, an Anglo-American post-punk indie rock band.
So what does all of this have to do with a penguin?
Kate Moss and Pete Doherty broke their year of silence and met up in the Cotswolds where Moss has a residence and took what began as an innocent trip to the Cotswold Wildlife Park and ended in a penguin being introduced to the gateway drug marijuana.
An anonymous wildlife park visitor was at the scene when Pete approached the penguin pen: "Everyone knew he was smoking grass. He was joking about getting the penguins stoned. He threw them his joint and it looked like one penguin gulped it down. It seemed very wobbly."
Bloggers commenting on the incident have questioned when a penguin does not look wobbley.
Others reported that Pete began to wave his spliff at the Humboldt penguins, before dropping its remnants into the pen, where one bird immediately scoffed it up.
The Sun reported the incident with a Photo-shopped penguin made to look stoned and a speech bubble that read: "I think I can fly."
The Sun quoted Andrew Routh, London Zoo's chief veterinary officer, as saying, "Feeding a penguin cannabis could be fatal." The newspaper also responded to the incident with their own italicized outrage: "It was a scene that would shock fans of animated movie Happy Feet - about a tap dancing penguin and his pals."
The Daily Mail reported that Pete Doherty was seen moving his banjo, gold records, and other miscellaneous items back into Kate Moss’ North London home, sparking rumours that Moss has ditched Jamie Hince and that she and Doherty are back together.
Perhaps the YouTube love song, the declaration of his heartbreak over Moss in Loaded, and the romantic visit to the Cotswold Wildlife Park was a winning combination for Doherty.
So what does this have to do with Amy Winehouse and mice?
In Doherty’s solo phase without Moss he has been spending time with his mate Amy Winehouse doing strange things, among them using baby mice as ventriloquist puppets.
The baby mice, Winehouse, and Doherty incident was posted on YouTube.
Amy Winehouse speaks to her husband with the mouse in what is a truly bizarre YouTube video. The Winehouse and Doherty collaboration is pretty spooky.

What ever will Doherty and Winehouse do next?
Probably more babyshambolic activities.
