Pete Doherty’s manager has denied reports the troubled singer has started dating the ‘new Kate Moss’, model Portia Freeman.
According to a report in today’s Mail On Sunday, the 19-year-old is ‘besotted’ with the Babyshambles singer.
A pal of Doherty says, “Pete is seeing Portia and he really likes her. They get to see each other at weekends when Pete isn’t touring with his band Babyshambles.
“She went back to Pete’s after watching him play a gig in December. It’s early days and they are enjoying each other’s company.”
According to the pal, it is hoped Freeman - who bears a resemblance to Doherty’s ex-Kate Moss - will help Doherty finally kick drugs.
“Portia is probably the best thing to happen to Pete. She is a very clean-living girl and not at all into drugs,” they say.
“He is trying to stick with his rehab programme and trying to stay clean. He is having regular counselling sessions and has been advised not to jump headfirst into any relationship. He wants to take things slowly.”
However, according to Doherty’s manager Andy Boyd commented, “Obviously I don’t know about everything Pete does. I’m not saying that he and Portia don’t know each other - I just don’t think they are in a relationship.”

She became an “accidental” film star early in her career, but now socialite and model Paris Hilton is hoping to become a real Hollywood actress. Still, the 26-year-old scandal hasn’t strayed too far away from familiar territory - in one scene from her new film the Hottie And The Nottie, she strips off to just her skimpy lingerie.
In the film, Paris stars as the object of affection for Nate, played by Joel Moore, who’s had a crush on her since primary school. To win her over, he must first find a boyfriend for her less attractive friend. No, it’s not a remake of 10 things I hate About You… ahem.
No word as to whether Miranda Kerr and Eliska Sursova are going to go see the film, though a couple of things suggest both girls might be passing it up. One, would be the raging war between Miranda and Paris of which Eliska remains loyal to her longtime Victoria’s Secret model friend, and two would be that, well, Eliska and Miranda have brains.

The publishers of the new James Bond book, written by Sebastian Faulks, have unveiled the cover they hope can capture the spirit of Ian Fleming’s creation.
Like the work itself, the cover of Devil May Care aims to harness the elements which turned 007 into the world’s most celebrated spy while adding enough of a twist to keep modern audiences hooked.
The design, recalling at first glance a blooming, blood-red flower, features the naked silhouette of model and diplomat’s daughter Tuuli Shipster, 25.
Faulks was unveiled in July as the author selected by the trustees of Fleming’s estate to write the new novel to mark the centenary of the author’s birth.
Alex Clarke, Penguin editor of Devil May Care, said: “The cover had to be something stylish and sophisticated - all the things that one associates with Fleming’s James Bond.
“With such a great concept the challenge was then to find the perfect girl to bring it to life. We just knew the moment we saw her that Tuuli was our Bond girl.”The jacket image was created by award-winning design agency The Partners, who work with some of Britain’s oldest heritage brands including Jaguar, Wedgwood, Harrods, the BBC and The National Gallery.
Jack Renwick, The Partners’ Creative Director, said: “It’s an honour to become a small part of Bond’s rich visual history.
“Bond is sex, intrigue and violence. We wanted to capture this and give a subtle nod to the familiar, iconic Bond images of old.”
Faulks finished writing the book in six weeks, commenting that he was happy to follow the recognisable Bond style with exotic locations, glamorous women and larger-than-life villains.
Devil May Care is set in the Cold War and will be published on May 28 to mark the centenary of Fleming’s birth.
