Doherty publishes tell-all diary

London, June 24 Rocker Pete Doherty has lifted the lid off his crazy world by publishing his diary.

"The Books Of Albion: The Collected Writings Of Peter Doherty" was released earlier this week that charts the Babyshambles frontman's life since he moved to London. It also includes insights into his recent life with model Kate Moss and his drug addiction battle, reports ananova.com.

"(there was) Further tabloid infamy yesterday just when I thought everything was too good to be true," writes Pete. "Some Australian ... has me on camera phone banging up and apparently slagging Kate off. Bang to rights I suppose although to be fair I was in a hell of a state at the time and we had fallen out."

There is also a surprise entry from Moss, who writes:

"You have touched my heart and soul... You make me high, my sweet, my skin shivers and longs to be held by you."


Pamela Anderson to open strip club?

New York, June 24 "Baywatch" star Pamela Anderson, who is currently in Finland, has thought of a unique business idea to honour her Finnish heritage - opening a chain of strip clubs!

"I thought of a great way to celebrate my Finnish heritage at home," she wrote on her blog. "I'm going to look into opening a chain of strip clubs and I'll call them Lapland!!!"

Anderson, whose great grand father was Finnish, is touring the Scandinavian country with her dad, Barry Anderson, reports people.com.

"Our heritage is here. We are both excited. We will be taking lots of saunas. Save my liver," Anderson added.

While in Finland, the actress has also appealed for the closure of fur farms.

"(Farms are) so old fashioned. There are hundreds here. The demand is getting lower for fur coats and they breed foxes here just for fur. ... Sweden, Austria and England have banned fur farms. Let's hope Finland will too. Other than that I'm very proud of my Finnish heritage."
 

 
Beach wedding off Moore' wish list

London, June 24 Singer-cum-actress Mandy Moore has crossed out the idea of a dream Caribbean wedding from her life's wish list after shooting a mock marriage in the heat and sand of Jamaica.

The singer plays a blushing bride-to-be in new comedy "License To Wed" and realised a beach ceremony is not for her.

"It was beautiful but man it was hot and it kind of killed that fantasy of wanting to get married on the beach with a private little ceremony - it's sticky and humid," she was quoted as saying by contactmusic.com.
