It looks like all it took to drive Kate Moss back into the needle-marked arms of Pete Doherty again was the news that her friend was dating him, because the two longterm lovers were said to be holed up in a hotel suite together for the past five days.

While Kate was on vacation in Spain she gave in when Pete kept calling her and they had a heart to heart over the phone. Then when she got back they are said to have reconciled:

The Daily Mail even reports that Kate is talking marriage and babies again. She kicked him out of her house and changed the locks, but she’s too weak to be without him for even a few weeks.

Kate Moss’s friends and family are devastated after learning she has run back into the arms of Pete Doherty. The supermodel has been secretly staying with the drug-addicted singer at Claridge’s.

The Daily Mail has learned that the pair have been living it up in a £1,500-a-night suite at the Mayfair hotel for the past five days.

On one night, friends had to be ejected by hotel security when their revelry became too rowdy and the number of guests allowed per room was exceeded…

A friend of Miss Moss told the Mail last night: “Linda, Kate’s mum, thought the time away from him would break the spell he has over her. She had been on a strict break. They had not even exchanged a word in weeks.

“She has been completely ignoring him. But what is worrying the family most is that Kate feels that the break from Pete has only made her love stronger. Linda is absolutely devastated.”

The friend went on: “During her holiday in Spain, Pete was calling her on the mobile incessantly. He could not get through and the line kept going dead.

“She eventually called him one evening and since that conversation they have been continually on the phone. Kate has been like a moth to the flame.

“When she got back to Britain, they met up at the hotel. He cried and she cried. She said to him she had been avoiding him because she had promised everyone from her managers to her mother that she would.

“She told him, ‘It’s not me. It’s just what they all made me do’.”

During a late-night heart-to-heart at Claridge’s, Miss Moss told Doherty she was “miserable without him and desperately happy with him”…

“Now she is talking about making a grand commitment to him - she wants the wedding over here that was put on hold, and she also wants his children.”

Just when you thought Kate Moss got her shit together she goes and runs back to Doherty. Yesterday I was wondering what women see in this guy, and speculated that it must be some level of depth and sensitivity that women see in him that isn’t actually there. Commentor Carol chalked it up to women’s nurturing instinct and said “Women are always attracted to damaged men and he’s about as damaged as they get.”

Not only is Doherty lucky in love, he got a big break in yet another drug possession charge when he was let off on a technicality yesterday. Everyone was rooting for jail time for the junkie, but it wasn’t to be. Instead of a prison cell he got a $3,000 a night suite with a supermodel and a rowdy party with friends. Life sure is fair.

Kylie Minogue celebrated with a few friends the 20th anniversary of her hit single ‘Locomotion’.

Friday night’s bash was a small party for the close-knit group that has worked with her over the past two decades, said a spokeswoman for Terry Blamey Management.

Her creative director Will Baker once said of Minogue’s mates: “Her best friends you can count on one hand, and those people have known her for a long time.”

Minogue started working in television as an eight-year-old but became internationally known for her role as Charlene in Neighbours.

A chance performance of The Loco-Motion at a benefit concert for a Melbourne AFL club in 1987 launched her music career when she was snapped up by Mushroom Records, which released the song as a single, retitling it Locomotion.

It went to No.1 in the Australian charts and was the highest selling single in Australia in the 1980s.

Two decades and 65million record sales later, her public still adores her.

Obviously Kylie got confused somewhere, and thought she was actually turning 20, and had some work done on her face. As Kylie herself says, beauty secrets are called just that for a reason, and I still luv ya Kyles. I remember that pair of overalls you wore in Neighbours, and begging my mom for a pair. Which I got, and thought I was so cool.

She’s also releasing a sequel to her Darling fragrance, called Sweet Darling. Which is strange – why not just put out a whole new scent? Kate Moss is also developing a new scent. I think that Kate should release a scent of Glastonbury, an earthy scent of beer, mud, seat and rain. Which might be even more effective than Darling for attracting men!

Here are some costume highlights from Kylie’s career, and for those of you who watch Neighbours, here’s a video of her wedding to Scott aka Jason Donovan.

Picture note by Celebitchy: Pictures of Kylie are of her about to go to the 20th Anniversary party for “Locomotion” at Fulham Palace Historic Residence of the Bishops of London, and of her going out to Modiva nightclub afterwards. I’m not digging that dress with the sparkly lip prints. Thanks to Splash News for the photos and description.

Kate Moss is finally cutting Pete Doherty out of her life for good. She stood by the floppy unwashed urchin through multiple drug possession arrests, half-assed rehab attempts, and public declarations of love that would have embarrassed the least self-conscious celebrity, but when he cheated on her that was the last straw. She changed that stupid lock, made him move his crap out of her house, and wasn’t swayed by a picture of their pet cat that he scrawled on and tried to wave at her. Now she’s taken the final step and has changed all her phone numbers too:

We can reveal that the supermodel has changed ALL her phone numbers - mobile and landline - to prevent Pete getting in touch.

Says our well-placed source: “Pete was still phoning up last weekend and in the end it was too much even for Kate.

“She thought she had made things clear - that he should never get in touch with her again, under any circumstances.

“But he failed to get the message so she’s taken drastic action. It’s a pain for her but she’s more adamant than ever about making a clean break.”

We revealed on Monday how 33-year-old Kate was footing the bill for Pete, 28, to have another anti-heroin implant. It seems to have been a last gesture of goodwill before her patience ran out.

Our spy adds: “Kate is determined to wipe the slate clean and that means never speaking to him again. Her friends are behind her decision and will support her every inch of the way.”

The last we heard the cheating druggie Doherty was living in a trailer park bemoaning his existence. Things are about to get a lot harder for him now that Kate’s not bankrolling his dental work and drugs. He’s said to be working through the pain by concentrating on a second album with his band Babyshambles.

Here are the lyrics to a song by Babyshambles called “There She Goes” (not the one that gets stuck in your head immediately upon reading the title) that seem fitting for this occasionL

There she goes, a little heartache
Oh there she goes, a little pain
Make no mistake
She sheds her skin like a snake
On the dirty road to fame

Kate has shed her skin, and will hopefully leave it behind for good. It might not be as dirty for her now that Pete’s out of the picture.

Kate Moss has now landed an ad campaign she doesn’t want at all … instead of millions from Burberry or lovely signature smells from Cody …. she’s getting common sense advice straight from the agit-prop public. The Daily Mirror has the tales and candid pics:

… plastered on the walls outside Babyshambles’ most recent gig [the posters warned that] Kate Moss is already morphing into her junkie boyfriend Pete Doherty.

Moving the morphing Moss along is the ultimate rock band nightmare … the girlfriend who starts showing up on stage to do a singalong. I don’t know if Babyshambles is qualified to have their own Yoko Ono - they seem pretty close to imploding all by themselves and does anybody know who the rest of the band are – nonetheless MySpace Moss is becoming a regular feature at the Babyshambles performances:

Not only does she fancy herself as a bit of a rocker after joining him on stage (again) on Sunday night, but the supermodel’s washed-out, spotty complexion is something more often seen on her other half.

Sadly not adding an eyecandy ambience, but a rather more Drugstore Cowboy feel … and apparently it’s a Drugstore that’s run out of Clearasil. Still maybe she rocked out? Is La Moss as surprising new rock voice. Is she gonna break that Naomi Campbell curse and turn out to be the model with the golden chords?

t had been a typically chaotic performance as the band were forced to halt the Shockwaves NME Awards show for 10 minutes because of crowd problems, but the real low-point was a stiff-looking Kate on stage for her customary duet with Pete.

So not Yoko Ono for band destruction. Not Marianne Faithful for talented tottie with full on future career as smoky voiced chanteuse. But still kind of skinny.

Putting the Cooties back into their brand name - Coty announced that part time model and full time Pete Doherty-enabler Kate Moss will be joining up with them to put out her own line of signature fragrances.

According to Coty, the first fragrance for Moss will capture her unique style and deepen her universal appeal. “As a one-of-a-kind modern beauty icon, Kate Moss carries clout and credibility among photographers, fashion designers and the beauty industry. This has made her a leading beauty face of the new millennium, said Bernd Beetz, CEO, Coty Inc. “There is no one better to embody a new fragrance than Kate, who epitomizes the look and feel of today’s fashionistas. We are very excited about this fragrance collaboration and look forward to a long and fruitful partnership.”

Poor Bernd Beetz …named after an overcooked winter vegetable and also unable to recognize the difference between the last millennium and this one. Clout and credibility are clearly the new fading charm and unconvincing saleability.

It turns out deluded views of reality and a complete inability to sense which way the wind is blowing make Coty McCooties Inc. and Burnt Parsnips the perfect match for ol’ Mossy:

“For me, Coty is the ideal partner to create my own scent,” commented Moss. “I’ve been delighted to work with Coty over the years and am pleased to collaborate with them on my first fragrance.”

The yet-to-be named fragrance is set for launch in autumn 2007 throughout Europe, the Middle East and Australia with subsequent plans to extend to the United States, Canada and Latin America. The line will include eau de toilette, eau de perfume and ancillary products.

The anticipation fairly burns as the imagination fairly boggles:

A grotty fragrance that opens with fresh and mouth-watering notes of dirty weekend dishes, hypodermics and unwashed hair. The very Mossy heart note is composed of flip flops, ferret teeth and bad judgement, followed with a woody and sweet end note of shambles, babies and libertines.

Suggestions for the Fragrance’s name should keep the Internet busy for days.

And now for a bulletin from the world of high culture … in an era when the high is interested in getting as way down as it can. The National Portrait Gallery in London is no exception: here trouncing over the old high/low divide with that easiest and most often of cheap curator stunts - the Fashion Photography Show … and with the extra cojones of announcing this moldy old museum move as new and cutting edge. If it was a knife it couldnt get through soup. And we quote:

Face of Fashion focuses on the portraits of five outstanding fashion photographers from Europe and America: Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott, Corinne Day, Steven Klein, Paolo Roversi and Mario Sorrenti. It is the first exhibition of its kind, celebrating the innovation and diversity of current fashion portraiture.

Cheap curatorial maneuvering to imply. “Don’t worry folks … its just like a Vanity Fair meets People spread with pricier admission … nothing to be bored by here … you can stroll around then go for drinks.”

The National Gallery is adding to the extra thrilling kick of guarunteed non-boring art with a healthy helping of popular wish fulfilment. Photographer Steven Klein kicks in a picture of Kevin Federline (K-Fed, Fedex, K. Fiddy, Kuff Faddy, etc. etc. etc.) with his throat slit. The NPG continues in heinous prose:

In the contemporary fashion world, models, actors, musicians and designers frequently swap places. The exhibition highlights the relationship between fashion and celebrity and illustrates the extraordinary intimacy that often develops between photographer and subject.

K. Fiddy is none of those but here’s betting the free PR from the photo more than makes up for breaking the paper thin logic of this paper thin concept of a show. And its gotta give Britney a bright moment in an otherwise so far bleak 2007.

It looks like all the other rehab treatments, including a stint as a counselor, didn’t take for messed up Pete Doherty. The Sun is reporting that on-again girlfriend Kate Moss has dropped him off at an in-patient drug rehab in North West London near her home. Kate is said to be paying big bucks for Doherty to get treatment at the facility, where a 12-patient wing was cleared for him to stay. Kate will perhaps pop in for some sessions of her own, but seems to be staying offsite:

The supermodel and the shambolic rocker checked secretly into the discreet Capio Nightingale Hospital just half a mile from her home in North West London.

They met staff who cleared a 12-place unit at an annexe behind the main hospital building off busy Marylebone Road.

The pair were recognised by passers-by as they arrived but registered for treatment using false names.

Kate, 33. left the hospital yesterday but was expected back to join Doherty in therapy sessions.

Yesterday one of Kate’s assistants was seen delivering to the hospital what appeared to be groceries and computer gear.

There was news that Kate and Pete got married in Thailand over New Year’s, but Kate’s people denied that report. It seemed to me like it was some kind of commitment ceremony, because Pete insisted it was true.

Pete was recently questioned by police after the death of a man at a party. The guy was seen arguing with Pete and fell to his death from a balcony a short time later. Police said he was not a suspect, but the family was unconvinced.

Let’s just assume for a moment that Doherty is capable of prolonged sobriety and a somewhat normal lifestyle free of Jaguar crashing and random death. How long do you think Kate Moss could remain faithful to a guy like that? Don’t you think she’d consider him boring?

I’m not buying this latest wedding rumor about Kate Moss and Pete Doherty. The worlds most famous “chav” couple partied it up for New Years in Phuket, Thailand with Sarah Ferguson the Duchess of York and her family. There was an earlier story that they were going to get married between Christmas and New Years, and now a British paper is reporting that they’re planning a beach wedding to take place today, and that employees of the resort where they’re staying are in preparation for it.

Kate Moss is planning to marry her drug-addict boyfriend Pete Doherty in Thailand, reports suggested last night.

As the New Year dawned on the island of Phuket, there were persistent rumours that the 32-year-old model was about to wed.

An insider at the Amanpuri Hotel said: ‘Senior management at the hotel have been told that the couple are having a romantic, bohemian- style beach wedding. Family and friends have been invited.’

Kate Moss and Sarah Ferguson are unlikely friends after they met up last month to talk about a potential modeling career for Sarah’s daughter princess Beatrice, 18. Beatrice and Kate might have more in common than modeling aspirations, as Beatrice and her sister Eugenie, 16, trashed their mother’s mansion this spring with a drunken teen party.

Pete Doherty is on two years probation for multiple drug offenses that would probably get him years in jail in the states. He is able to travel despite his long record due to his status as an entertainer. The Sun reminds everyone that Thailand is known as an easy country in which to score drugs, which may explain Moss and Doherty’s vacation there.

I don’t know if I really give a shit if Doherty and Moss get married. They’d have to have a baby at this point to catch my interest - not that I’d wish that fate on an innocent child just so I’d have something to gossip about.

Here are old pictures of Kate and Pete at the Dublin airport on 9/25.

Going topless while on vacation is way cooler than flashing your vag on an average night out in LA. Moss has bared it for magazines before, so she probably won’t care that these pictures are out. The agency whose photographer snapped the picture, Flynet, claims that Moss has now broken up with troubled bad boy Pete Doherty.

Doherty is a suspicious figure in the death of a fellow party-goer last week. Doherty was seen arguing with the man, who fell from his death at some point from a second story balcony at the party. He avoided talking to the police that night and left the scene of the accident before they arrived. Doherty later went apeshit out at a pub and threw glasses and tables around. Police say he is not a suspect and that they have questioned him, but the man’s family say that they want to know the truth and do not consider the matter settled.

Maybe Kate has moved on with her life after this latest scandal, but that’s doubtful. She is staying in Jamaica at James Bond writer Ian Fleming’s former estate.

Update: photos removed on request.

Kate Moss appears in an artsy dream-sequence type video for high-end lingerie brand Agent Provacateur. Here is the first video of four, titled “Dreams of Miss X.” The title reminds me of the famous S&M novel “The Story of O.”

In later videos, Kate is said to be getting naked, but we’ve already seen her topless in quite a few photoshoots so that’s nothing novel.
