DOHERTY 'TOO DRUNK' TO FLY

Rocker PETE DOHERTY's wild party antics have landed him in trouble again - he has been barred from boarding an aeroplane after staff labelled him too drunk to travel.
The Babyshambles singer and his band allegedly enjoyed too many alcoholic drinks before trying to board a flight from Valencia, Spain to Gatwick, England so airline workers refused to let them on.
Doherty was forced to hire a private jet - setting him back $15,000 (£10,000), according to Britain's News of the World tabloid.
A representative for the EasyJet airline reveals this is not the first time they've had problems with Doherty.
The spokesperson says, "Mr Doherty's reputation preceded him following a previous incident with EasyJet when he was removed from a flight to Barcelona - and following last month's incident when he was arrested after a BA (British Airways) flight to Geneva."
The musician was previously arrested after disembarking a British Airways flight from London to Geneva, Switzerland last month (Jun09).
Flight staff alleged they found the rocker slumped in an aircraft bathroom and subsequently discovered a hypodermic needle onboard. He was charged with an unspecified offence and later released with a fine.
Doherty is also currently facing charges of driving under the influence and drug possession stemming from his arrest in Gloucester, England in June (09).
