Pete Doherty saw in the new year by hopping over the Channel and buying five crack pipes in Paris.
The ex-Libertines frontman bought the pipes from an antiques fair after enquiring as to whether the pipes still worked.
A source told The Sun: "He loved them and said he would take them all – then asked the guy if the pipes could still be used to smoke with."
The source also described Doherty as “very friendly, polite and funny” and said he was accompanied by a stunning lookalike of ex-girlfriend Kate Moss.
This isn't the first time Doherty has featured in the press in relation to a crack pipe. In 2007, The Sun published a picture of the rocker allegedly forcing his pet kitten to inhale crack cocaine from a specially made mini-pipe.
Doherty has previously served jail time and a number of rehab sentences for his well-documented drug habit.
