Moss & Doherty Thai The Knot....

Moss and Doherty `marry,' reports say By JENNIFER QUINN, Associated Press Writer

LONDON - One of Britain's most talked-of celebrity couples may have tied the knot in a candlelit Buddhist ceremony as their friends cheered them on, newspapers reported Tuesday.

Supermodel Kate Moss and Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty held the ceremony New Year's Day in the Thai resort of Phuket, The Sun and the Daily Mirror reported. The Mirror quoted an unnamed friend of Moss, who said the ceremony was an expression of the couple's mutual devotion.

A representative for Moss wasn't immediately available for comment.

The Sun said the ceremony wasn't legally binding in Britain, and named Jan. 18 as the pair's official wedding day. Both papers ran blurry images of the couple; the back of Moss' head, her hair pulled back, could be seen, and Doherty, as usual, wore a trilby hat.

Moss and Doherty were reported by British media to be staying at one of the island's luxury resorts — the sort where guests have their own private swimming pools — but hoteliers were discreet about the matter.

A spokeswoman for the Amanpuri hotel, contacted by phone from Bangkok, denied the couple were staying there and said she had no knowledge of their whereabouts, though she had received many calls asking about them.

At the Trisara, a high-end resort and spa that opened in 2004, General Manager Anthony Lark said: "We don't talk about any of our guests. That's just something we don't do. We have a very simple policy of protecting our guests."

He said prices at the resort started at $1,000 a day and went as high as $6,000 for a five-bedroom villa. Asked what guests get for their money, he answered: "Privacy."

Moss, 32, has modeling contracts with companies ranging from Louis Vuitton and Chanel to Topshop.

In September 2005, the Mirror ran photographs of the model allegedly using cocaine at a recording studio where Babyshambles was working.

After the pictures were published, Moss publicly apologized and went to a drug rehabilitation clinic in Arizona. Prosecutors decided in June there was insufficient evidence to charge her.

Doherty, 27, often makes headlines over his battle with drugs. The former lead singer of The Libertines, Doherty has been charged several times with drug-related offenses. In 2004, Doherty — along with former Libertines partner Carl Barat — was named coolest man on the planet by British music magazine NME. In 2005, Doherty dropped to sixth place; in 2006 he was 28th.

No "Moss & Doherty Tie Off...Er, Tie The Knot", Ron?

The opportunity here was so incredible that my mind shut itself down.

[daslied]

I understand completely. You still had a good title, though.

Moss has categorically denied that any such Thai wedding has taken place. However, it has been confirmed that the couple drank champagne together on the beach.

Quite why anybody would want to marry that relatively-talentless, pretentious, doe-eyed f*ckwit is a mystery.

Although I understand the reasoning for using "f*ckwit" here, it is still my job to clean it up, unlike what Moss and Doherty will do/have done.

Silly me. I'm forgetting how attractive intravenous skag-users tend to be.

Because they are both relatively-talentless, pretentious, doe-eyed f*ckwits and that type seems to stick together.

I heard that instead of throwing rice, people threw cocaine.

I heard that people threw rice, and a piece hit Kate and broke 4 ribs.
