Pete Doherty addicted to online game

Pete Doherty has become addicted to internet-based virtual world Second Life, according to a report.

The Babyshambles frontman has started playing out his dream life on the cyber community, making himself a happily-married school headmaster with three children.

A source told the Daily Star: "Pete is living his fantasy existence in Second Life, where he is an upstanding member of the community, running the local school. He also has a loving wife and three adoring kids and is a fitness freak who treats his body like a temple - unlike Pete himself.

"But Pete's naughty side is still evident, even in his alternative world, because he is having an affair with the owner of the local greengrocer's. His mates are slightly amused that Pete's found a slightly healthier and more inspirational addiction."

Doherty was dumped by Kate Moss in July, after cheating on her with model Lindi Hingston.
