The former Libertine has his eye on reclaiming his booty. Of course, another pirate is already on the scene. Kate has reportedly been spending time with comedian Russell Brand. But, Pete is undeterred.

The word on the street is that Doherty's first step to regaining control over his life and back into Kate's heart is to have an anti-heroin implant inserted into his stomach. The procedure to install the naltrexone device is reportedly next set for next week.

On a serious note, it'd be great to see this guy get back on track and actually make headlines for his music again. But, he's tried this implant before and it didn't seem to work. If it doesn't, maybe he can paint Kate a picture to express his love? Or, he can always try inviting her back into his band? I hear chicks dig that.
