OH MY GOD YOU GUYS!!1 Guess what?! Pete Doherty is headed back to jail!

Really, Defamer Australia? Yes! Looks like, in a move that is completely out of character for the fine, upstanding young singer/songwriter, he breached his probation conditions and is back in the clink! For 14 weeks!

We know, we found it hard to believe ourselves! But the proof, as they say, is in the pudding (and the pudding is stained a queasy tinge of green and smells like stale cigarettes and wine dregs).

Parlophone Records said the Babyshambles frontman's show at the Royal Albert Hall scheduled for April 26 would have to be postponed.

"Peter was very much looking forward to the show and would like to offer his sincerest apologies to all his fans and all those concerned," the label said in a statement.

Adrian Hunter, Doherty's manager, said there were "numerous reasons" the singer/songwriter had been jailed.

"One of them was his latecoming at probation hearings," he said.

Doherty has been in and out of court over recent months in connection with his well-publicised battle with drug abuse. Tuesday's sentence was handed down at the West London Magistrate's Court.

Look, it's getting to the point where they could quite reasonably throw Doherty in jail for the rest of his life and just save time and taxpayers' money, couldn't they?
