Don’t ask me why, but I think Kate Moss has been looking like ten kinds of hell lately. Every time I breeze through photos of her, she looks like she’s either coked out of her mind, or coming down off of a three-day crackhead bender. It’s not about aging either – she could totally be an attractive, even beautiful woman as she gets closer to 40 years old. Her f-cked up appearance is, I believe, because she’s still doing loads of really hard drugs. Anyway, Kate is in the news today because she just gave herself some bangs, or “fringe”. I barely noticed the difference on my first glance, because… this isn’t the first time she’s had bangs, right? It’s just the first time in several years. Even though the bangs look flat-ironed (are they?!?), I think they look okay. That’s saying a lot for me – I have bangs trauma. I hate bangs on most adult women. But Kate has the rare face for some fringe.

In other Kate news, remember last week’s news that she and her fiancé Jamie Hince had secretly wed in a cracked-out private ceremony? That news was later denied by Kate’s publicist or something. But look! Kate is wearing something that looks like a wedding band:

So is she really married and she doesn’t want anyone to know? What’s the point?

If Kate Moss was your girlfriend, would yout expect her to be faithful? Or would you expect her to be coked out of her mind for nearly the entirety of the relationship, never knowing who she was hooking up with from night to night? From my perspective, if I ever had the misfortune of having Kate Moss as a girlfriend, I would pretty much accept the fact that she’s going to be getting busy with random people.

So this is the predicament Moss’s boyfriend Jamie Hince finds himself in. The Sun is reporting that Cocaine Kate had an affair with Living Things star Eve Berlin. They got the story from Eve’s brother Lillian, who claims to have walked in on his brother and Kate naked and getting dirty. Lillian describes the encounter as “awkward”. I’ll say.

Kate Moss has allegedly done the dirty on boyfriend Jamie Hince.

The supermodel, who’s been dating The Kills’ guitarist for two years, has been linked to Living Things star Eve Berlin.

The American rocker’s brother — the band’s lead singer — Lillian says: “Walking in on my brother and Kate Moss with their clothes off, that was very awkward.”

“I don’t like to look at my brother naked. Between my brother being naked and seeing Kate Moss naked with my brother, that was very awkward.”

He claims the encounter took place last June after the pair met on a trip to Berlin.

When asked if Kate and Jamie were an item at the time, he joked: “No comment. What he doesn’t know won’t hurt him.”

From The Sun

For those of you who, like me, are transfixed by the names, take note: Eve and Lillian are their stage names. I had to look it up! The Living Things consists of three brothers – Lawrence, Yves and Josh. Lawrence became Lillian, Yves took Eve, and Josh took Bosh. So Kate Moss nailed a guy whose real name is Yves. Eve sounds sexier, I’ll admit.

It seems strange to me that 60s rock icon Marianne Faithfull would take crap from anyone, much less a coked-up supermodel who barely weighs 100 pounds. Faithfull admits that she “doesn’t give a s–t” about it really, but Marianne still cared enough to mouth off about Kate Moss basically copying everything about her, from the clothes to the rock star boyfriend, to the drugs. Oh, the drugs. You’d think the drugs alone would have been enough to keep the Faithfull-Moss friendship alive, but it didn’t.

Faithfull spoke to The Times, and The Daily Mirror has the quotes. Faithfull said of Moss, “she’s not really my friend, I thought she was, but she’s very clever.” I have a lot of words to describe Kate Moss, but “clever” isn’t one of them. The Daily Mirror has more:

Marianne Faithfull has launched an extraordinary attack on former friend Kate Moss, calling the supermodel a ‘vampire’ who stole her style. The 62-year-old singer says that, although she and Kate were once close, they are no longer on speaking terms.

‘She’s not really my friend. I thought she was, but she’s very clever,’ she said.

Marianne, who famously had a relationship with Mick Jagger in the late 1960s, even accuses the 35-year-old of emulating her choice of men, comparing the Rolling Stone to Kate’s new boyfriend Jamie Hince.

‘Now I see pictures of her with a boy who looks like Mick Jagger, and her looking like me. So there was a reason. It’s one of her gigs to do me,’ she told The Times.

Kate and Marianne, apparently drawn to each other by a shared love of fashion and rock stars, were once a regular night-time fixture in Central London and even holidayed together in the Bahamas. At the time the iconic star said that she and Kate, who is almost thirty years her junior, were kindred spirits.

‘She’s very complex – she’s very like me. She’s a Capricorn. I think she’s great,’ she has said. However the pair’s friendship ‘suddenly soured’ some time later, according to Marianne.

‘You know, it’s OK. I don’t give a s***. But I was quite offended at the time. We were very fond of each other. And then it suddenly soured,’ she added.

‘She’s very clever, but she isn’t at all educated. We don’t have any [common] references. Except music.”

The singer, who is returning to music after taking a long break following treatment for breast cancer, was famously found naked, covered in just a fur rug, during a police drugs raid on Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards’s Sussex mansion in the Sixties.

From The Daily Mirror

What’s particularly funny about this story is that for the past few years, Kate Moss and Sienna Miller have allegedly been feuding over the same issue. Moss thought Sienna was stealing her style and her “look”. For the record, Marianne was the original. Kate Moss copied some of Marianne’s look and lifestyle choices, and blended them with other influences. Sienna then copied both Marianne and Kate.

I wonder why Kate and Marianne’s relationship soured? I don’t care if she did go to rehab, I still think Kate’s doing the nose candy. And it probably negatively affects all of her relationships. Especially the one with her daughter.

Last week photos came out that showed Kate Moss looking more pregnant than ever. The normally stick thin supermodel first sparked pregnancy rumors in early January. She was photographed rubbing her lower stomach and smoking a cigarette while on vacation in Thailand with her boyfriend, musician Jamie Hince. Moss was seen out again at dinner in London last week and it really looked like she was pregnant and not just experiencing some mild bloating. She was also seen smoking on January 30, the photos are below, so maybe she’s not pregnant, in denial that she’s pregnant or just isn’t ready to give up a bad habit for the sake of her baby. Moss was also seen smoking while pregnant with her first child, Lila Grace, now six.

Some commenters on The Daily Mail’s website said at the time that these photos weren’t strong enough evidence that Moss was pregnant, and that she just had experienced some minor weight gain or bloating. Although she really looks pregnant to me, it’s hard to tell from some angles. I decided to pass on the pictures and didn’t want to jump to conclusions.

Now News of The World claims she’s three months pregnant and has been breaking the news to friends:

The supermodel is now past the crucial three-month stage, with the baby believed to be due at the end of August.

Kate. 35, is expected to formally announce the pregnancy soon—ending weeks of speculation.

She has already broken the news to close pals, who have been sworn to secrecy.

Kate and rocker boyfriend Jamie Hince are said to be thrilled.

The catwalk queen already has a six-year-old daughter Lila Grace from her relationship with magazine publisher Jefferson Hack.

But she can’t wait to be a mum again.

Rumours have been rife after Kate curbed her party lifestyle and was snapped at Movida nightclub this week showing a bump.

When she started to let her hair down, Kills guitarist Jamie was overheard telling her to “calm down, especially in your state”.

Last night, a source close to the model said: “It’s true. Kate is pregnant. She’s overjoyed at the news.

“She’s past the 12-week stage so she’s telling more and more people. Her friends are delighted for her.”

[From News Of The World]

That doesn’t mean it’s true and they could be relying on the same photos the rest of us are seeing. It’s not like News of the World is an unimpeachable source. If this is true I hope she gives up the cigarettes and drinking.

Kate Moss, 34, is rumored to be pregnant with her second child. The supermodel was seen with a suspicious looking lower belly while on vacation in Thailand with her boyfriend, musician Jamie Hince. In one photo Moss is holding her stomach protectively. She’s also smoking a cigarette, though, so let’s hope it’s just some bloating or that she’s gained a little much-needed weight. It looks like more than that, though:

She insists she isn’t pregnant, and the cigarette in her right hand would appear to confirm that fact.

But the way she was rubbing what appeared to be a bump beneath her baggy top did nothing to dispel rumours that Kate Moss is, indeed, expecting her second child.

The 34-year-old model is on a break in Thailand with boyfriend Jamie Hince and six-year-old daughter Lila Grace.

Sporting sunglasses on her head and a silver bracelet on her left upper arm, she chatted to friends with Kills guitarist Jamie by her side.

The supermodel also seemed to be sporting a mystery bandage on her right wrist.

It is not the first time Kate has been caught up in a wrist riddle. In October last year she was seen leaving a London party with a peculiar lump on her left arm.

The photographs are a far cry from Miss Moss’s latest Versace photoshoot, which sees her with a golden tan, unblemished skin and a healthy glow.

This isn’t the first time we’ve heard the rumor that Kate Moss was pregnant with what would be her second child. She was rumored to have been knocked up back in October, 2006 when she was dating winner Pete Doherty. The unholy union that seemed like it would never end was finally severed in the summer of 2007 without producing a helpless being. Hince seems like a major step up compared to that guy.

In early December, Hince was sporting black eye at the same time that Moss was seen out with scratches on her cheek. Moss initially blamed the bruises and scratches on a holiday decorating mishap, but was said to have later admitted that she got into a fight with Hince. These two don’t seem like the type who should be procreating, either. Kate already has daughter Lila Grace, 6, from a previous relationship with magazine editor Jefferson Hack.

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.

[From The Daily Mirror]

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.

[From The Daily Mirror]

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.

Kate Moss is considered a bona fide Supermodel.  She’s been a staple in modeling, in print and the catwalk for 20 years.  But Kate, who has described the modeling business as “brain damaging”, has decided to call it quits when she turns 35 in January.  But she doesn’t plan on being idle.  Moss wants to be a rockstar.

A source close to Kate confirmed: “She has told everyone she won’t carry on modeling after she turns 35.
“Songwriting and being a singer will slowly take over.”

[From The Sun]

Kate isn’t new to the music business, she’s been dating musicians for years.  Babyshambles, her ex, Pete Doherty’s band, had her onstage singing with them numerous times and featured her on their album, Down In Albion.  Doherty and Moss co-wrote a number of songs for Shotter’s Nation as well. 

Moss has been featured in music videos for artists from Primal Scream, who she also did some vocals for, to Johnny Cash and Elton John.  She also DJs occasionally at a night club in London.  Despite these illustrious credentials, Jamie Hince, her most recent ex, and his band The Kills wouldn’t let her on stage with them.

Kate Moss isn’t going to have to just worry about making it in the music business.  Moss has had her own line of clothing at UK clothing store Top Shop, and in Barney’s in the US, for a year.  In July Kate said she was going to quit modeling to devote more time to designing and expanding the line.

Moss, who was catapulted into the limelight after she was discovered by a modeling scout in the U.K. at the age of 14, said she now wants to spend her time designing, planning to expand her line at British high street chain Top Shop. Beyond her modeling career, she in fact has gotten into business and designing in recent years. In addition to the fashion line, she’s having a perfume to be launched in America this month and a hair-care line that has been a huge success in Europe.

“All that dressing up makes me say, ‘What do I want to wear?’ and, ‘What do I want to do with Topshop?’ It all kind of leads into the other things.”

Yes, Kate has always been led into all sorts of other things.  She certainly will be a busy woman when she retires.

Jamie Hince wants Kate Moss back, and to prove it he wants her to have his baby.  The guitarist of The Kills and the supermodel recently split up, again, after months of a stormy, hot-and-cold relationship and Moss declared there was no going back this time.

Word at the time of the split was that one or the other of them was unhappy with the amount of hard partying the other did.  I guess it all falls to allegiances, but Team Kate was saying Hince was as much a partier as Pete Doherty and Kate was done with that while Team Jamie said Kate’s wild ways were too much for him to handle.  Suffice it to say, they both sound like they spend alot of time out of the home.

So, the next logical step in repairing their broken relationship would be to have a baby, right?  Moss is the mother to nearly 6-year old Lila Grace, but apparently she wants more.  While the public assumed it was the claims of partying that led to the couple calling it quits, Hince says it was Kate’s insistence that they start a family.

A source close to the 39-year-old musician said: “Jamie is upset that Kate is being painted as this party animal who ruined their relationship with her wild ways. The reality is far from that.

“In fact, they split over her desire to start trying for a baby. Jamie told her he didn’t want to commit to that while things were going so well with his band and he was away on tour so much. But she argued that could remain the case for years and she didn’t want to wait that long.

“He is ready to back down over the baby issue to save his relationship. He’s sure they can get things back on track.”

Kate’s parenting skills are debatable, she always looks like a doting mother by the light of day, shopping and playing with Lila, but it doesn’t seem like the girl has seen the stars or moon with her mother in any of her six years.  Couple that with the well beyond questionable influence of Pete Doherty for years and it’s hard to imagine a new baby would be the best idea in the world.

Jamie’s band, The Kills, is currently on tour, so the “Will you take my seed in conception?” proposal will have to wait a couple weeks, but in a reversal of stereotypical roles, Hince thinks a baby will only help his relationship.

Kate Moss has made a very bizarre parental confession. While promoting her new perfume, Kate mentioned that her daughter loves the smell of gasoline. Instead of discouraging what could turn into a very dangerous habit, Kate says she intentionally leaves the door open at the gas station so that little Lila Grace can get a good sniff

KATE MOSS’s little girl loves the smell of petrol fumes, says mum — who’s been partial to a sniff herself over the years.

Kate said that when she fills up she has to leave the car door open so Lila Grace, five, can catch a whiff.

Kate has just released new fragrance Velvet Hour and said of her daughter’s habit: “I’ve heard it is one of the most preferred scents in the world — maybe that’s something to study for my next fragrance.”

Perhaps trendy Diesel might be interested in marketing that one.

And Kate gushed: “I really miss Lila when I’m away — though I try not to be away for more than two nights… I love her more than anything in the whole wide world.” She must love her a lot if its more than her love of a tear-up.

[From the Sun]

Sadly I too will admit to being a fan of the gasoline/white board marker/rubber cement smell. When I was a kid the only time I ever got sent to the principal’s office was for sniffing a red white board marker when my teacher told me not to. And then lying about it. Turns out, it left quite the distinct mark under my nose.

There is something about that smell that – to some people – smells really good in a way that’s hard to describe. But when kids get older some of them figure out they can turn that fragrant love into a possibly fatal huffing habit. For about ten reasons it’s pretty shocking that Kate would not just discourage the habit but actually encourage and indulge it. I can’t imagine there’s a parent in this day and age who’d think this was a normal or okay thing to do. And then willingly joke about it to the press.

Update by Celebitchy: I don’t know if there’s anything wrong with letting your kid smell gas fumes occasionally as long as they don’t make it a habit, but I wanted to use this excuse to post the photo of the spraypaint huffing guy from The Smoking Gun, it’s hysterical:

Here’s Kate Moss with Lila Grace having lunch in a beach bar in Ibiza on August 4th. Images thanks to PR Photos.

I love delusional celebrities. They make me feel so much better about myself. I may kid myself into believing that I’m thirty pounds lighter and two inches shorter, but at least I’m not chatting it up to Us Weekly. Poor Kate Moss still seems to be pretty delusional – but of course she is talking to magazines about it. Kate says she was never anorexic, even though she admit she hardly ever ate anything. She’s just got a really long list about how that’s everyone’s fault but her own. Apparently no one fed her. Though last time I checked, past the age of about seven you’re pretty much able to feed yourself if you want to.

“I was never anorexic, so I was never that skinny,” she tells September’s Interview. “I was never bony-bony. But I remember thinking, ‘I don’t want to be this skinny.’” She says when she was “doing shows and flying economy … nobody ever fed me. Or I’d be staying in hotels so cheap that by the time I’d get in, there wasn’t any room service… I didn’t eat for a long time. Not on purpose,” she admits. “You’d be on shoots with bad food or get on a plane, and the food would be so disgusting you couldn’t eat it.

“You go to a show, and there’s no food at all, so if you’re doing shows back to back, you can forget eating,” Moss adds. “I remember standing up in the bath one day, and there was a mirror in front of me, and I was so thin! I hated it. I never liked being that skinny.”

Over the years, Moss says she has come to accept her body. But it took her some time. When she was 15, photographer Corrine Day used to make her pose topless as training. “I’d cry,” Moss says. “After five years, you get used to it and you’re not self-conscious anymore.

[From Us Weekly]

Kate acknowledging that her body didn’t look good doesn’t mean she didn’t have anorexia. If anything it makes it even more suspect. Most anorexics don’t think they look good. Few of them walk around in skin-tight outfits parading their thinness. They tend to hide behind bulky clothing because they still think they look bad.

That last comment is particularly upsetting. I’m not sure if being forced to pose topless while crying is normal for 15-year-old models, but it sounds incredibly creepy. Kate seems to still have some body issues – she talked a lot about breast implants, saying that they were gross – but then goes on to say she’d consider getting them if her own boobs were ever too saggy.

I’m not sure how this interview is supposed to make her come off as more self-aware. If anything it makes me think she’s still got a lot of issues.

Here are a few of Kate’s Calvin Klein ads from back in the day. The ones that best show just how skinny she was show some nipple and are NSFW, but this gives you a good idea.
