Pete Doherty lectures Trinity this evening

Pete Doherty is due to give a lecture to students in Dublin's Trinity College this evening.

The Philosophical Society invited the 29-year-old Babyshambles singer to the college.

A statement on the society's website said that the singer will talk about: "...life, love and much more".

The statement also said that the musician will give: "...a taste of what a rock 'n' roll (hopefully minus the sex and drugs) lifestyle entails."

Al Pacino, 68, and Dame Helen Mirren, 63, have previously made speeches at the university.

Doherty will be speaking in The Graduates' Memorial Building at 5pm.

Dizzee Rascal - Tongue N' Cheek

An unembarrassed play for the mainstream, and luckily Dizzee has pulled it out of the bag to deliver an excellent album that shouldn't alienate too many of his diehard fans.

8 Ball - With All Your Friends

As catchy as it is quirky and as cuddly as the cartoon characters on the back cover.
