DOHERTY WON'T GET OUT OF BED FOR LESS THEN $60,000

British rocker PETE DOHERTY has snubbed a $10,000 (GBP5,000) offer to model for an online fashion retailer - insisting the 'bare minimum' for his services is $60,000 (GBP30,000).

The Babyshambles frontman was approached by discount clothes website lastseason.com after hearing of his financial troubles in 2007, during which he claimed to have made a profit of just $58,300 (GBP29,161) from his touring and album releases.

But the dishevelled star turned down the one-day modelling shoot, with his management emailing the company's founder Stefano Passantino saying: "I think you are batting substantially below the mark.

"The fee on this would be a bare minimum of GBP30,000 before we even begin to discuss anything."

And Passantino has slammed Doherty's outrageous demands.

He says, "I thought Pete could do with a day's work for what would be good money by anyone's standards. He is just not worth that much."

Earlier this month (Feb08), the singer charged just $200 (GBP100) to perform at an English teen's birthday party, while he earned a staggering $30,000 (GBP15,000) for an up-close-and-personal set for an American millionaire last weekend (16Feb08).
