Kate Moss And Pete Doherty Home Video
As Pete Doherty strums a guitar in front of the camera, a halfnaked Kate Moss yells at him: "Rot in jail you c***! Rot, rot, rot, rot, rot, rot."
The weird footage was shot by the Babyshambles frontman at Kate's cottage in the Cotswolds.
It shows Pete filming himself sitting in a room playing one of his new songs, while a scantily clad Kate - seemingly a little worse for wear - cavorts in a chair next to him.
She randomly interrupts his singing by either joining in or hurling obscenities at him.
Swinging her legs and puffing on a cigarette, she begins by whistling along to Pete's new tune - KP Nuts, a reference to their first names, Kate and Pete.
She then kicks out at him, nearly knocking him off his chair. Then, singing along with him, she jokes: "Sonny and Cher we're not."
The pair then have a bizarre exchange over one of his lyrics, when he sings: "Underneath the oak tree."
Kate then replies: "What oak tree?"
“The oak tree,” says Pete.
To which she cries: “You're such a liar, such a liar. And a fantasist."
Pete then begins to sing the "la la la" section of the song, which prompts the woozy Kate to say "Don’t la la me".
She disappears to "get a drink" but then reappears at the doorway and yells: "Oi c***face!"
The video was posted by Pete onto a fan website, before someone else put it on YouTube.

‘Glamour’ Names Best Dressed Woman
Breast cancer survivor Kylie Minogue topped the Glamour magazine best dressed list, while former leader Kate Moss slipped to fourth place in the fashion rankings - while her junkie Pete Doherty was named the worst dressed male. Victoria Beckham has risen to second place in this year's list and her obsessive-compulsive husband David has been crowned best dressed man.
Minogue was 26th last year in the best-dressed rankings. Glamour editor Jo Elvin said: "We've seen a newer, softer-looking Kylie emerge this year - she's still sexy, but she's not flaunting that side of herself in gold hotpants any more.
"She's letting it shine through subtly, with a classic personal style that women really identify with."
Minogue kicked off her Showgirl Homecoming Tour in Sydney Nov. 11th. As well as outfits by Galliano, Minogue donned costumes by designers Gareth Pugh, Dolce e Gabbana, Karl Lagerfeld and Emilio Pucci. Among other costumes, the former soap opera teen star wore a pink feathered headdress and flowing gown by designer John Galliano to kick off her renamed "Showgirl Homecoming Tour." She also wore a bejeweled pink corset as she launched the concert with her classic hit "Better The Devil You Know."
A tumor was removed from her left breast in a Melbourne hospital in May. After the operation in her hometown, which forced the postponement of the remaining Showgirl concerts, Minogue underwent chemo treatment in France, where she has been sharing an apartment with her fiancé, actor Olivier Martinez.
During her recovery, she wrote a children's book, "The Showgirl Princess" and recently launched her own perfume, "Darling."
Top 10 Best Dressed Women of 2006, according to Glamour:
1 Kylie Minogue
2 Victoria Beckham
3 Nicole Richie
4 Kate Moss
5 Sienna Miller
6 Mischa Barton
7 Jennifer Aniston
8 Rachel Bilson
9 Kate Hudson
10 Gwen Stefani

Kate And Pete Engaged?
Not only are they together again, but Pete Doherty and Kate Moss are rekindling their romance at warp speed!
The model was spotted in London over the weekend sporting an engagement ring, fueling speculation that the two are set to get married.
Doherty and Moss held a soiree for friends at a club in North London on Saturday night, which many believe was an engagement party.
In fact, Kate and Pete are even rumored to have hired a nightclub in Ibiza for their wedding.
A source at the weekend party reveals, "Pete was telling everyone he loves Kate and is desperate to marry her. He looked healthier than I've seen him for a long while - he looked well over it. He had a new implant fitted last week to help him dry out and went straight to Kate's house. They've been inseparable."

Kate Moss Won’t Face Drug Charges
Kate Moss will not face charges over her alleged drug use caught on film in London last year, Britain's Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said Thursday.
In September, London's Daily Mirror published stills from a video of Moss, 32, apparently snorting cocaine in a recording studio with her then-boyfriend, admitted drug user Pete Doherty.
After the photos were published, Moss apologized for her actions and checked into an Arizona rehab facility. In January, she was questioned by police but not arrested.
Still, the CPS said it was unable to determine what kind of drug Moss and others were using, Reuters reports.
"The film footage provides an absolutely clear indication that Ms. Moss was using controlled drugs and providing them to others," said Rene Barclay, the CPS's London director of serious casework.
"However, in the absence of any forensic evidence, or direct eyewitness evidence about the substance in question, its precise nature could not be established. Ms. Moss declined to provide any explanation when interviewed, and the direct eyewitnesses also declined to provide evidence."
Burberry, H&M and Chanel canceled contracts with Moss after the publication of the incriminating photos, but she has since rebuilt her career, signing on to appear in ads for Nikon, Virgin Mobile, Calvin Klein and other clients.
