Perhaps it’s time to put up an official clock for when Pete Doherty is no longer with us. In his latest news, Doherty punched a nurse and wrecked his room as he finally lost his shit in rehab.

Doherty, 27, punched the medical man, kicked the door and slammed walls with his hands during the tantrum at the Priory clinic on Sunday night.

A friend told 3am: “Pete flipped out on Sunday night because he doesn’t want to be there and wants to get out. A nurse was trying to encourage him to get more involved in the therapy sessions when Pete suddenly went berserk.

Then again, I thought Scott Weiland was going to finally croak himself with drugs years ago, so maybe Pete won’t see the Reaper just yet.

You probably haven’t heard of the band Isis. If you have, congrats, because this story is about them. You see, Isis will be opening for Tool and the band members don’t give a damn if the crowd doesn’t like them. All right, so who the hell is Isis? Well, it’s a metal group! And since you probably don’t know about ’em, front dude Aaron Turner has this to say:

“There’s…a good chance a lot of [the audience members] won’t even be there and will be finding their seats as we’re finishing up our set. In one way, we’re really excited about it, but in another way, we’re realistic about it too.”

How realistic you ask? Glad you asked!

“Tool are definitely the biggest band we’ve ever toured with, but I don’t feel like it’s ultimately going to change things for us that much.”

Well, there’s some good old optimism for ya! Good luck to you, members of Isis. May you be happy with your predicted non-success!

Indeed, he did. But that’s not goint to stop Paul Stanley from releasing his second solo album entitled Live To Win this October 24. Will it be better than his 1978 solo debut? Well, let Paul take it from here:

“It’s not 1978 anymore,” Stanley told Billboard.com of the album last November. “It’s certainly the same mentality, and certainly I’m a better singer today. My perspective and where I’m at in my life at this point, and what I’ve experienced and seen, brings something else to the table that wasn’t there then. But I still look back on that album as a really great snapshot of who I was and what I was doing then.”

So basically it’s going to be another party record. Yay, Paul.
