"Cocky cokehead Pete Doherty snorts line after line of the class A drug just days after promising he would check back into rehab. We've obtained exclusive film of the Babyshambles frontman getting wrecked on cocaine after issuing a statement saying he was going to seek help. In our pictures the tracksuit-clad addict calmly chops up five massive lines of the drug on a silver tray perched on a kitchen counter, snorts them through a rolled-up piece of paper then stares glassily at the camera."

"Top Hollywood union officials traveled to Washington this week to lobby lawmakers amid a high-profile writers’ strike against the big studios. The heads of two of Hollywood’s major artists’ guilds made the rounds on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, meeting with several California Democrats, including Sen. Barbara Boxer. They also visited three members of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Alan Rosenberg, the president of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG), and Patric Verrone, the head of the western branch of the Writers Guild of America (WGA), said they aren’t seeking any intervention from Congress on the strike, which began on Nov. 5 after contentious talks for a new contract between 12,000 WGA members and six major studios collapsed."
