Complex's Jaws-inspired cover depicting the ever-hungry rapper hunting down a water-skiing Andy Samberg wins, though. [Complex]

● Miley Cyrus' "people" traded at least two Mac Book Pros with college students in exchange for their computers, which each contained a copy of Miley's bong-smoking salvia video. This plan failed.

Somewhere between Pete Doherty’s daily rotation between court, jail, and rehab, he carved out a bit of time to produce a unisex line of jewelry with Hannah Martin, formerly of Cartier. The collection is called Albion Trinketry and includes cufflinks, rings, and necklaces. If his uncomfortable posing at the launch is any indication, we’re as unsure about Pete’s credibility as a designer as he is.

● How does one quit Hollywood? I’m not sure, but starring in a sitcom doesn't seem like the way to do it. Nicole Richie says she's desperate to move to New York City away from L.A.'s paparazzi, but just signed on to star in a pilot for ABC. [Showbizspy, Variety] ● Will Jon Gosselin be making an appearance on The Hills as Kristin’s BF?

The onetime savior of punk saw his life fall to shambles after a much-publicized split from supermodel Kate Moss and last year’s month-long incarceration. But Peter Doherty is back with this month’s Grace/Wasteland, a debut solo album destined to catapult the English bad-boy onto the charts. Here, the hard-living, chain-smoking poet of rock lists life’s major drags.

Having recently been branded good enough to listen to but not look at by a kit of squawky indie pigeons (not that we couldn't make such assumptions with our own eyes and ears), Pete Doherty's getting the band back together! Not Babyshambles .The other one. The Libertines. Says he of storied rehab stays about trying to seduce lead guitarist/singer Carl Barât back into the band: “I didn’t twist Carl’s arm too far. He doesn’t take kindly to it. He’s not harder than me, but he’s got a nasty streak. Twist it too far and it’ll snap.”

Can anyone explain why outside of Nylon or catalogs for high-end leggings, Peaches Geldof (née Peaches Honeyblossom Michelle Charlotte Angel Vanessa Geldof) continues to carry any kind of noted significance? Oh, because she's the daughter of faded rocker Bob Geldof and weighs about three stone -- the ideal weight for runway models? Well then. I suppose that makes her vow of sobriety at the NME Awards last night all the more relevant to the ills of the world.

Perhaps inspired by Damien Hirst's Sotheby's earnings, this weekend will see a first -- a self-portrait by Kate Moss goes up for auction. The 2005-2006 painting, entitled "Who Needs Blood When You've Got Lipstick," is drawn in, um, lipstick and bears the title inscribed in blood by then-boyfriend (and Babyshambles frontman) Pete Doherty. According to the auction website, the piece was "Bought directly from Pete Doherty's private collection and is accompanied by a receipt in his hand for the sale on a Soho House napkin." He's probably got a sweet markup, since it reportedly only cost him £15.
