Pete And Kate Thai The Knot?

The Sun scooped the rest of the U.K. newspapers by being first with a story saying Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty had married Kate Moss in Thailand. But, on closer inspection, it emerged that it had been a mock ceremony on a beach and certainly not legally binding in the U.K.

"The lovers had water sprinkled over their heads as a Thai priest pronounced them man and wife," the paper explained, before revealing that "pals of Kate" have been asked to keep January 18 free in their diaries for the real wedding.

Within a couple of days of the Sun’s January 2 piece reporting the so-called wedding, the other tabloids said Kate’s friends – presumably not the same friends that talked to the Sun – were denying that the Phuket beach ceremony ever took place and were rubbishing reports that a real wedding is to follow.
