Pete Doherty has not been heard from in ages.

Fittingly, the supposed rocker and one-time celebrity gossip site regular has returned to prominence by taking part in the two things he does best:

• Taking drugs.
• Getting arrested.

The former boyfriend of Kate Moss was arrested in Switzerland this weekend after being accused of taking drugs on a British Airways flight.

Peter Doherty was detained on arrival in Geneva after cabin staff found him slumped in a toilet on board. He was escorted back to his seat (in economy class, talk about a sign of the times) where he was apparently intoxicated.

A member of the cabin crew found a hypodermic
needle in the toilet and the pilot called police to meet the plane when it arrived in Switzerland.

A passenger told the UK’s Sunday Mail: “A few people on the plane recognized Pete, who went to the bathroom more than halfway into the flight. He had been in there about 25 minutes when the announcement came for the crew to prepare for landing.”

“The crew knocked on the door but Pete didn’t come out.”

“They eventually managed to get in there about 10 minutes before we landed. Pete was taken back to his seat and he just looked completely out of it. One of the crew took a needle out of the toilet wrapped in a tissue.”

He was fined but allowed to play his gig before returning to London.

We recommend that the authorities order Pete to go into exile along with Amy Winehouse in St. Lucia for maximum entertainment value.

Trouble magnet Lindsay Lohan has once again found herself attracting, uh, trouble — this time in the form of a lawsuit.

The actress is being sued by the three men who were in the SUV she drove during a 2007 car chase that resulted in her subsequent DUI arrest, People reports.

Ronnie Blake, Jakon Sutter and Dante Nigro are suing Lohan for unspecified damages in the case.

The plaintiffs have said that Lilo was “angry and aggressive” and that they “felt surprise, shock, fear and panic” when she allegedly commandeered the SUV in which they happened to be sitting to chase her personal assistant through the streets of Santa Monica, Calif.

“Dante and Jakon continued to implore Lohan to slow down, stating specifically that she was endangering all of their lives and that they could be killed,” People quotes the lawsuit as saying. “Lohan refused to slow or stop, but instead responded with abusive cursing and vulgar language, including a statement that she did not care about the risk of death.”

But the best part, according to the lawsuit, is this: “She also stated that because she was a celebrity she could do whatever she wants.”

Of course, where would a Lindsay Lohan-related scandal be without its instantaneous and ubiquitous rebuttal from a member of her legal and/or publicity corps?

Ed McPherson, Lohan’s attorney, chimed in to TMZ, saying, “These guys had the night of their lives, playing with the radio and leaving the vehicle at one point and getting back in.”

After being arrested, Lohan worked out a deal and spent 84 minutes in jail proving her original statement that, as a celebrity, she really could do whatever she wants.

Aaron was pulled over on I-10 earlier today for speeding — and when authorities decided to search his vehicle, they found the fat stash inside!

Aaron, 20, is currently in jail until tomorrow, when a judge will be present for his arraignment.

ROME - Thou shalt be faithful to the Mafia.

Italian police said Thursday they have found a list of 10 commandments for mobsters in a house near Palermo, where a top Mafia boss was arrested this week.

Salvatore Lo Piccolo, who had been on the run since 1993, was vying to become the next “boss of bosses” of the Sicilian Mafia, according to Italian investigators. He was apprehended Monday by police raiding a house in the countryside outside Palermo, the Sicilian capital.

The list was found among his coded notes about the administration of Cosa Nostra that were delivered by Lo Piccolo’s aides.

Police in Palermo said that the list opened with a preamble that said: “I swear to be faithful to Cosa Nostra. Should I betray, my flesh will burn.” Under the category “Rights and Duty” were the 10 entries, meant to be a sort of users’ manual for the good mobster.

The list was typewritten in uppercase letters, police said.

Italian newspaper La Repubblica published a photo of what it said was the list, under the headline: “The Godfather’s Ten Commandments.”

The list bars mobsters from hanging out in bars, from befriending police and being late for appointments. It also bars them from “taking possession of money that belong to others or other families.”

How to treat women also features in the decalogue.

“You shall not look at wives of our friends,” says one entry. “You shall respect your wife,” says another. However, the Mafia comes first, as the fifth “commandment” orders a mobster to “be available for Cosa Nostra at any moment, even if your wife is about to give birth.”

The last part of the list sets out application rules, saying that those who have a very bad behavior and no moral values cannot join.

Investigators believe that the 65-year-old Lo Piccolo could have eventually emerged from a power struggle as the Mafia’s new top boss following the capture of Bernardo Provenzano, the reputed No. 1 of the Cosa Nostra crime syndicate. Provenzano was arrested on a farm near Corleone, Sicily, in April 2006, after more than 40 years on the run.
