| Peter in Swiss sitcom? |
[14 Jul 2009|06:08pm] |
According to this article, Peter will feature in season 2 of "Photo Sévices," a Swiss sitcom about a worker at a photo lab. Out in mid-December; ten 8-minute episodes. He seems to play himself, or a rock star similar to himself.
Apparently Peter knew his lines perfectly during filming. Competition, competition...
ETA: This was apparently filmed in the beginning of June.
ETA #2: According to Adrian on FDW, "Yup, this is true. The guys who made it are lovely and more may be to come."

From the Sun:
CARL BARAT tells me he and ex bandmate PETE DOHERTY have busy been putting their heads together to get a date in for THE LIBERTINES reunion next year.
BABYSHAMBLES frontman Pete has made no secret of his desire for his old band to reform.
And Carl says the pair have been discussing plans at length over the phone in recent weeks.
Carl said: "Lots of people have come up to me saying a reunion would be a good idea. And I do think so too.
"I'd love to do it. It was a good band.
"I don't want to just do gigs. I want to make new material."
"We haven't got a date yet but it will happen if Pete stays on his current trajectory."
"Pete's very keen and persuasive. He rings me up and tells me he going to keep on the straight and narrow."
Carl has recently made a move into acting and his new film Telstar also opens the Notting Hill Film Festival tonight.
He plays 1950s rocker GENE VINCENT in NICK MORAN's new flick about the crazy life of music guru JOE MEEK which also stars JUSTIN HAWKINS, JAMES CORDEN and RALF LITTLE.
Carl says: "It was fun to film. I was so nervous but it's definitely given me the acting bug so I'm now going to have some lessons so I can try and do a bit more at a later date."

I know I've read a description of the libertines as "the gayest straight band in britain" somewhere, possibly the NME; does anyone happen to have a scan or something of that article/whatever it was? I need it as reference for a thingy.
...and here's a picture to make it legitimate.

What looks to be the full cover art of the Broken Love Song single:

And Carl apparently performed (or attempted to perform) "Famous Blue Raincoat" at the free gallery show. <3
