The socialite admits she feels pity for the troubled Babyshambles rocker, who previously dated supermodel Kate Moss, and wishes he could beat his crippling addiction to heroin.
She told More magazine: "I feel bad for Pete Doherty. It's upsetting how friends can let him do that to himself. Kate Moss is trying to help him. She 's scared for him." Earlier this week, Paris revealed what she and Jessica Simpson have in common - they both like to pretend they're stupid.
The 'Pledge This!' actress - who is currently starring in a new series of 'The Simple Life' with former best friend Nicole Richie - says in real life she, and Jessica, are very different from their public personas.
She said "Nobody seems to get that how I am on 'The Simple Life' is a character.
"I play dumb, just like Jessica Simpson plays dumb. But we know exactly what we're doing. We're smart blondes."
