For Pete's sake: Amy Winehouse's world is falling apart...then Doherty visits at 4amWhen you're down on your luck and your husband is behind bars, you need all the friends you can get.
With the exception, perhaps, of this one.
In the midst of her current crisis, Amy Winehouse appears to have turned to Pete Doherty for support.
The Babyshambles singer, a heroin addict, called on her at 4am carrying a guitar, shabbily dressed in jeans and bearing cuts and bruises on his face.
While Miss Winehouse's parents Janis and Mitch may have been relieved to see her husband Blake Fielder-Civil put behind bars, having expressed concern at the influence he was exerting on her, they are hardly likely to be over the Moon about her new choice of friend.
Doherty, 28, who split with girlfriend Kate Moss earlier this year amid allegations that he cheated on her, dropped in on 24-year-old Miss Winehouse just a few hours after she had moved out of her marital home in Camden, North London, to stay with friends in the east of the capital.
She has barely spent a night at the Camden home since Fielder-Civil was arrested, apparently finding it too full of "painful memories".
His imprisonment a ago accused of causing-grievous bodily harm and conspiring to pervert the course of justice raised her family's hopes that she might kick her drug habit.
But she is said to be taking more than ever, and her UK tour was cancelled last week after a series of shambolic performances in which she slurred incoherently and stumbled round the stage.
Doherty and Miss Winehouse, whose relationship is said to be platonic, are working on a duet called You Hurt The Ones You Love. But perhaps music is not the only thing they have in common.
Earlier in the evening as she moved her possessions, she either did not know or care that she had left a plastic bag filled with a white substance on display in the open boot of her car.
A spokesman for the singer said the bag contained make-up, but later changed his statement to say it was "a bag of small hand towels".
With her husband destinedto spend Christmas in jail, Miss Winehouse's move could be an indication that she is ready, at least temporarily, to go it alone.
Whether that changes her erratic behaviour is anyone's guess.
Last Sunday she wandered the streets barefoot in the early hours wearing just a bra and jeans.
The following day she was seen walking around outside without shoes, asking builders for cigarettes.
One said: "She looked like a tramp rather than someone with a fortune in the bank."
Those who believe Miss Winehouse's career is locked into a downward spiral wherever she lives will no doubt have drawn irony from the book poking from one of the boxes of possessions during her house move.
It chronicles the lives of her soul heroes from Aretha Franklin to Ray Charles and Smokey Robinson and is called Nowhere To Run.
