Kate and Pete are still young, in love, and moving more of Pete's stuff into her house. They may not have a lot of people rooting for their relationship at the moment (or ever?) but Kate's ex Johnny Depp isn't one of them. Johnny usually keeps a low profile unless he's promoting a film (yay for Pirates!) and tells the Daily Mail that he approves of her relationship with Pete. Granted, he hasn't spoken to Kate since they broke up (9 years ago!) and has never met Pete. Still, he obviously has fond feelings for her and wishes her well. Here's more:
"I was not good for Kate," he says. "But she's a strong girl and a great girl and very smart."
He says he was shocked at her treatment by newspapers, who nicknamed her Cocaine Kate.
"Dragging her through the mud like that - they are weird and two-faced.
"Let her be! I have never met Pete Doherty, but I think he has talent and he and Kate could be great together.
"She's got a great brain on her and she's a good mummy."
Kind of strange they haven't spoken in so long but whatever. Johnny has totally settled down since his bad boy days and they obviously run in different circles. It's sweet that despite all that he still can stick up for her. More of Kate and Pete so read more

I don't know if I've ever read of ANYONE approving of Kate & Pete's relationship, and saying how good he is for her.
1they both suck !
2This guy is disgusting!
3kate has a great brain? i find that hard to believe
4Yet another example as to why actors should keep their mouths shut. Read whats on the script *sshole and look pretty.
5That's...odd, haha
6Unlike most people commenting on this one, I think it's very considerate of Johnny to say something like this about Kate. Ok, she did coke, and that's definitely not something I'd approve of. But lots of people do things much worse and get away with it. It's like he says: she really got dragged throught the mud for it. At least someone's not attacking her for once! Go Johnny!
7Must have been an ugly breakup, if he's happy to see her in a relationship with Pete. There aren't many people I'd wish that on.
8I don´t like Kate Moss, I don´t like Pete Doherty either and yes, I think they use a lot of drugs. But it is just stupid that someone comes here and use the word a**hole do talk about Johnny Depp, who is clearly just trying to say something nice about someone he has been involved with (and he possibly cares about too). I don´t think that all actors should keep their mouths shut, Johnny Depp is a really talented, intelligent and kind man. Who should keep their mouths/keyboards shut are exactly those who are not able to speak/write with a better vocabulary than cursing words. It is just revolting that someone comes to a board only to trash another one...and perhaps the word used by Barjar1122 would have a better use describing himself.
9I think Kate REALLY has a thing for bad boys. She was dating Johnny when he was pulling wild stunts and getting into trouble. Flash forward to now, Johnny's evolved and is more mature--even though he still has that kooky streak that we all love--and Kate is now with Pete who is immature and stupid. She has a young daughter and for her daughter's sake she should grow up.
10A good mummy? It's easy, when you're NEVER with your daughter. Probably Johnny said that because he didn't want to judge her in a magazine.
11I think that's really sweet of him. I think Johnny knows a little bit more about Kate than any of us know.
12less pictures of kate and pete and more of johnny!
13johnny is all man!!!! it is weird to hear him say he wasn't good for kate. which makes me wonder why he feels pete IS good for her? johnny in his worst is still a bazillion times better for kate than pete the bozo.
oh how i love my johnny.
14I think it's kind of Johnny to say pleasant things about her. We all know it's total BS, but hey...at least he's being nice, right?
15Her nose looks very pointy on these pix.
16oh gooood! can't you tstop posting about these two boring people???
and johnny depp is wrong : after seeing videos of moss talking : she has no brain...or a brain only made to get rich?
and a good mummy? pleeease! and DOHERTY IS UNTALENTED since the end of 2003!!! babyshambles is not a good band at all! crap!
pleaase : could you stop posting about them???
17Depp is a real gentleman!
18I think it's a very kind and gracious thing to say
19considering Johnny actually knows kate and NONE of us know her, I'll take his word for it that she's smart and a good mom...
20considering Johnny actually knows kate and NONE of us know her, I'll take his word for it that she's smart and a good mom...
21You dont like other people's opinions eveday, or they "revolt" you so much" click on out!! We are ALL entitled to our own opinions and wait until you see a PARIS or BRIT post. If you are that sensitive, you may want to reconsider.
22well as I have never dated the moss, my opinion is maybe more valid than depp's opinion : he still has friendship feelings for her, so he tries to say something nice, but what johnny says is...very untrue.
please there is fact! she is not a good mum, and she is not smart : there are countless tales about that.
and never believe what a man says about his ex : doesn't proove anything about the woman, it just shows the friendship feelings he has.
23I stand by my first post, I think he should shut up and act. He is accomplished at it, and he is one of my favs.
24ok so you're saying that because you do not know her or have any experiance with her personally, and only know what is reported in tabloids and gossip blogs you're opinion is more valid?
25considering they dated 9 years ago, how valid is his opinion actually? I wouldnt suggest I know someone any longer that I dated that long ago. I think he was asked a sticky question and gave a gentlemanly answer, however untrue it may be.
26I agree with barjar!
and we don't need to know someone to have judjements about the way this personn act
for my part : i highly disapproove the way moss act : i just see money, druggs, stupidity, vulgarity, fur, posh parties in her interviews .
27I suggest to esk4 to watch the topshop video where she is "working" with the topshop team : kate moss is not smart, it's a matter of facts
I think Johnny is just trying to be nice about her, kate. Don't all celebrities usually try to keep a clean plate??? It wouldn't be good publicity if he started talking bad about her especially when his new movie is coming out, his daughter was just recently ill, and he's finally going to tie the knot with his wonderful gf.
28Yeah, does anyone actually think he's telling the truth? He's just being nice, that's all.
29it seems some people here think we don't have the right to say that depp is only nice and that he says nice and UNtrue things about an ex gf.
30...they used to date?
31barjar1122.. that's a little harsh to tell one of your favorite actors to just shut up and act. he's still a person and has opinions. i agree that he most likely just gave a courteous response and may not have meant what he said. personally i think pete is bad news
i love johnny
32Well what else can he say? Its not like he'd talk trash about her; hes a good guy. I feel bad for Kate b/c she is with a real loser. Hes gross. what could she possibly see in him?
33BTW, Kate has to have SOME intelligence to continue to be successful. She just made a bad choice in being with the guy and continuing to put up with his bad choices.
34sooory , but as much as I despise doherty, at least he did something good in his life : the first album of the libertines!!!!!!!!
how can you even compare a simple model (even the most famous) and a MUSICIAN???? between a doll without brain and an artist(even a bad one as doherty) : I value more a musician!!! ok, he is a junkie, but so she is, and she's an adult, nobody forces her to anything!
he is a media seeker and his music doesn't worth anything now, but pleeaaase : he is wayyyy too good for moss : and i despise doherty : that is saying how much value I give to this woman.
35anyway they are both parents, and bad ones, junkies. so I despise both of them for that. but really, it kind of shock me to read "moss is too good for doherty" : WTF?!
36I hate doherty and his music, and his media circus, , and his fakeness, but her!!! it is even worst : she did nothing but showing her bony bum (her first famous pic was a nude one) to get loaaaad money.
what respect is she hoping for that???
she was hypocrit (with the fur : saying she wouldn't use it in the nineties, than use it now) , bad model for her apology to the bones and the drugs and the money.
She's an antifeminist : she show girls that all you have to do is showing yourself like a perfect trashed doll and than everybody will give you the money. wshe's as cliche as doherty! a fake poet, and a fake rock chick : both posh londonners
for doherty : there is still an hope he get back a little bit to himself and produce some music ...
but her : what can she bring to us? another dull topshop collection? another picture of her ass? she will only get older and older, and richer and richer and so on...
really I value more a bad musician than this model. art is really more than publicity.
37well, it's too much words for saying I just don't agree with the fact of putting a silly model above a (bad) musician.
if at least she did something by herself : she is not a fashion designer, nor a fashion photographer, nor anything...she is just a muse, not a creator.
a good artist can take anybody as a muse.
being a creator (of music, of pictures, of movies, of books) is much more impressive than to just pose in front of a camera.
for exemple, the actresses are far more clever an talented than bunch of models.
i'm tired of writing so much, it's laaaate
38Well he's being very gracious. I think she's a moron and I'm sure, privately, Depp does as well. I bet he wouldn't dream of marrying a drug addict now that he's a father.
39I'm actually a fan of Pete's.
40He's so talented.
It's a shame people mostly know him for his drug use, now.
Pete is not so talented : he was lucky Mr Barat did help him in the libertines album : his voice became really bad, and his lyrics are becoming duller, as his melodies...
I don't say his music sucks 'cause i'm upset by his media seeking (pathetic) or by his drugs addiction (seriously, who's not alcoolic or junkie in the british rock??)
I think his music is overrated : this is not good quality, that babyshhamble songs!! nothing compares to the libertines or to the dirty pretty things songs!
doherty is too proud of himself, too lost in his poet cliches to write a decent song.
and don't tell me it is because he is too drugged : before , in the early libertines days, he was already very average as a musician.
Carl Barât gave all the ideas and this so great style.
you really find him "talented", doherty?
41did you listen to "down in albion"?
ok, "albion" is good : but Pete stole itfrom the Libertines accoustic session!!!
the rest of the songs are very very dull, that ska thing...pff
you are wrong by saying it is a shame doherty is only known for his drug addiction : that's exactly what he wants !
making all a circus around him prevents him from being judge about his very average music.
42barjar1122.... If that is the way you talk about people you like, I can only imagine the way you talk about people you don't like. There is no reason to call Johnny a bad name and tell him to "shut up". I think you need to listen to your own suggestion. There is nothing wrong with saying something nice about somebody you used to date. Maybe you should try saying something nice for a change.

44Pete Doherty is looking his usual self in these pics. I know nothing about him other than his drug use, but it's not fun to watch someone self-destruct like that.
45Said with class! I
Johnny!
46Pete Doherty is especially known as an international junky BECAUSE his music is pretty boring!
47Wow.
48Judypie, you should take my earlier advice. I actors are acting, a good one I can respect their talents. It definitely doesnt mean I need to agree with their opinions or worship them. This is a gossip site, get over yourself. clickoff!
49I wish it was Pete who has said that. Johny was better for Kate than Pete for sure
