POTTY PETE DOHERTY has become obsessed with Scientology after a lover introduced him to the crazy cult, The Sun can reveal.
The junkie rocker is hooked on the barmy religion which believes humans are an exiled race from outer space.
Babyshambles frontman Pete, 29 — who once dated supermodel KATE MOSS — has bought a pile of books on the subject since meeting Scientologist DJ NADINE RUDDY.
And he has been leaving his Wiltshire mansion to stay at her home in Reading, Berks, at least once a week.
A source said: “Nadine is really into Scientology. She takes her beliefs very seriously.
“Pete’s chatted a lot with her about it. He went out and bought some books to read up about it.
“He just wanted to find out more about Nadine and what she believes in.”
The Church of Scientology was invented by sci-fi writer L Ron Hubbard in 1951 and boasts stars TOM CRUISE and JOHN TRAVOLTA among its followers.
It teaches that women should remain silent during childbirth because the noise evokes bad memories as the child grows up.
Mums are also not allowed to take any painkillers during labour and the baby is not washed for 24 days.
Nadine tells on her MySpace profile how she has adopted the religion.
She also reveals she likes tattoos and claims her favourite book is the dictionary.

Pals' shock at pregnant man

PALS of “pregnant man” Thomas Beatie last night told of their shock.

Beatie, 34, who yesterday released a pic of his five-months-pregnant belly, has gone into hiding. It is rumoured he and wife Nancy have sold their story to TV chat host Oprah Winfrey.

A British-born neighbour who is looking after their home in Bend, Oregon, while they are away said: “They’ve struck a big deal with someone. When they come back all will be revealed. This is 1,000 per cent true.” Relative Rena Keeley added: “I believe it’s true. We’ve been told not to say anything.” Thomas revealed his wife’s family are in for a shock because they have no idea he was born female.

Before undergoing his sex change, Thomas was a lesbian called Tracy LaGondino. The transsexual kept his female organs after the sex change.
