Former Libertines frontmen Pete Doherty and Carl Barât have apparently put aside their differences and made up, leading to Doherty asking Barât to be his best man when he marries Kate Moss.

According to The Sun’s 3am girls, Barât apparently told them, “We had a heart-to-heart the other day and, at the end of the conversation, Pete asked me if I’d be up for being his best man. I was shocked but delighted. I’m really touched that, after all we’ve been through together, we could finally put it all behind us and move on. I’m going to do a speech and Pete suggested I do a reading, something like Chekhov. Pete says although he wants me as his best man, they are having Worst Men too!”

While Barât was (apparently) happily nattering to one tabloid, Doherty was (apparently) nattering to another. Yesterday’s News Of The World claims he and Moss won’t be marrying any time soon as the Police are holding his passport and only letting him out of the country for work commitments:

“We can’t get married thanks to the police fuckers,” says Doherty. “We want to do it away, a special wedding somewhere miles from anywhere and everyone. But the fucking police have taken away my passport. It fucking sucks. I’m stuck here. We want a special wedding and we don’t want to do it here, there’s too much shit here. Somewhere small and out the way would be cool. We can’t wait, it’ll be beautiful.”

Elsewhere, Carl Barât’s currently band, Dirty Pretty Things, have been discussed in the House Of Commons. Not for subverting the nation’s youth, however. The House of Commons Transport Select Committee met to look at road safety and how early education is key to changing the attitudes of young drivers, which involved talk of the band’s involvement in the Make Roads Safe campaign.

The band’s Anthony Rossomando also revealed to NME.com that Dirty Pretty Things have begun work on their second album, the follow-up to last year’s Waterloo To Anywhere.

“I actually feel for the first time since the last tour that it’s my band just as much as Carl’s,” says the drummer. “He’s really fucking cool about that. That’s what The Libertines were about, in the beginning anyway, it was about that bouncing off each other and collaborating.”

Pete Doherty is not resting on his laurels either. Making the most of the fact that he’s stuck in this country, he’ll be performing two night’s at the Hackney Empire on 11th and 12th April under the banner, An Evening With Peter Doherty. Tickets go on sale on Wednesday (7th March) and are priced at £17.50.
