Kate Moss vows sobriety


Supermodel Kate Moss and The Kills guitarist, Jamie Hince, have reconciled after a short-lived split in July. At the root of the couple’s break was one or both of their partying ways, so to reconcile, Kate has sworn off alcohol… except for special occasions.

After initially promising to cut down on her hard living following her reunion with Jamie Hince, the Croydon-born supermodel has gone one step further and vowed to avoid alcohol completely.

Clearly party-animal Kate, 34, sobered up pretty fast when Jamie threatened to pull the plug on their year-long relationship if she didn’t tame her wild ways.

Kate has replaced all alcoholic beverages in her fridge with soft drinks and bottled water.

Kate has years of partying with the best, or worst, of them under her belt. She was in a relationship with Pete Doherty for more than 2 years, and alcohol runs freely at modeling shoots and industry soirees. It goes along with the crowd and lifestyle she’s a part of. But people have done stranger things for love.

“Even during photoshoots and hair appointments Kate’s offered something alcoholic. It’s just the way it is in the industry.

“Since she has rekindled her love with Jamie she knows these leisurely drinks need to stop. Kate is older and wiser now and wants to settle down.

“Obviously she loves to socialise but she has realised she doesn’t need a drink in her hand to do it.

“She’d vowed to not go out as much and now she’s decided to not touch a drop of alcohol unless it’s a special occasion.

“No more champagne during interviews. She’s determined to cut alcohol out of her diet.”

Mossy has curbed her lifestyle since 40-year-old Kills guitarist Jamie issued an ultimatum about her partying. But the booze ban is all her own idea. Our insider adds: “People may think it’s on Jamie’s orders but, although he is delighted, it is all Kate’s own doing. She wants to change her lifestyle.

I’m the same age as Kate Moss and I figured out how to socialize without booze about 12 years ago. Granted, I don’t travel in the same circles, but it’s not that outlandish a thing to figure out. I’m willing to give her the same benefit of the doubt I’d give any overpriveledged celebrity that she could have realized it’s time to act like the responsible adult and mother to 6-year old Lila that she should have been a long time ago, but it’s done with the same Volvo-sized grain of salt, too. I don’t see Moss as an addict, which would be a completely different story.

Nothing is mentioned about Jamie Hince doing likewise. Hince certainly doesn’t have as well documented history as Moss, but the rumors involved both of them and overdone consumption. Jamie was said to have been the dumpee in the relationship when they split in July because Kate wanted to start a family and he didn’t. If that was the case, I can see Kate being willing to give it all up for higher goals. We reported earlier that Hince had relented and was willing to have a baby with Moss, so lets hope he’s curbed his wild ways as well.

  2. smit33 says:

    I don’t think drink is her biggest problem. No mention to stay of drugs. Well if you have to choose ……..

  3. cara says:

    What I don’t get is, how does she stay so thin if she drinks so much?

    School me

  4. Alexa says:

    Good question Cara. Ya – booze usually puts on the lbs. regardless. ???

  5. kate says:

    i’ve worked in the photo industry for the past 15 years – high fashion shoots – and i have never ONCE been on a shoot where alcohol “runs freely”..
    Got offered a beer twice in those 15 yrs. when we are packing up, but that’s it.

    Let’s be honest.this isn’t about drinking. Replace every reference with cocaine. don’t see her as an addict? well what of all those pap pictures and eye witness accounts of Kate sitting in an idling vehicle for several minutes at a time, exiting with white powder smeared all over her? She’s got issues!

    Would she know sobriety if it gave her a lapdance?

    Wearing brassieres is actually bad for a person’s health… oh wait, this is about booze.

  10. gg says:

    Wanda you’re joking about the bra, right? I sleep in a sleep bra. I really don’t want mine to thin and sag anytime soon and they haven’t and I’m 50. Small ones worn braless enough make you have banana-tits. Not attractive.

    As far as Kate, I think she’ll push the envelope on the “special occasions” determination. That’s what alkies do when they allow themselves a nip.

    After years of sustained drinking, everything begins to pass right through the system…it is a permanent case of diahrea. That’s how heavy drinkers stay sickly thin.

    gg: “banana-tits” 😆

    Thanks for sharing that Boot. 😕
