Thank goodness Kate Moss has found someone to love. And hopefully someone to force-feed her, take away her drugs when she’s angry, and occasionally pump the alcohol from her stomach. Kate is supposedly engaged to her boyfriend of about nine months, The Kills guitarist Jamie Hince. According to The Sun and the Daily Mail, Hince asked Moss to marry him during a romantic (and presumably totally sober) vacation in Amsterdam, which resulted in Moss yelling to everyone on the street that she was getting married.

Kate Moss is set to wed her rocker boyfriend Jamie Hince, it has been claimed. The supermodel reportedly told fans the pair were going to ‘get married’ as they enjoyed a trip to Amsterdam. Moss, 34, blurted out the news as she and 39-year-old Kills guitarist Hince emerged “grinning” from a bar in the city. A source told The Sun: “They were looking very loved-up. Kate was so excited it looked like she had just accepted his proposal there and then. She was very happy. She came out giggling and seemed a little bit tipsy. Lots of fans were taking her picture on their mobile phones. She told them, ‘I’m getting married’.” The source added: “One girl asked her when, and she said, ‘Soon’.”

Kate also reportedly talked about her marriage plans to a unnamed fashion journalist she met in the city’s Cafe Tabac. Last night, Moss back in London and hanging out at her favourite haunt, Claridges hotel. There was no sign of an engagement ring but the model was wearing her lover’s trademark scarf.

I know very little of this Jamie Hince, but I know he’s not Pete Doherty, and that’s really all I require of Kate Moss anymore. Really this guy could be quasi-evil and he’d still be a huge step up. Kate Moss is pretty infamous in London for her hard partying lifestyle. There’s always a chance marriage might calm her down a little… though having a daughter didn’t seem to accomplish this (apparently massive) feat. Kate’s mother lives with her and takes care of her granddaughter. Hopefully this is the real deal for Moss; she nearly married Pete Doherty half a dozen times, including a few occasions where he didn’t show up because he’d been arrested. Let’s hope she’s picked better this time and has found someone who can actually find his way to the church.

Here’s Kate Moss and Jamie Hince with some friends in the street of Amsterdam on March 25th. Images thanks to Splash.

Kate Moss has a new collection for Topshop, full of the regulation shorty shorts and tank tops that everyone wears all summer when it’s hot. Coming a year after her first collection, which inspired hysteria on the High Street, this one has barely got a look in. London entertainment site This Is London has pictures from outside the store this year and last year, 2008 noticeably without any crowd.

I’m beginning to think that a celebrity range of clothing is losing it’s appeal. Whitney Port, Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag from The Hills all have a range coming out, Nicole Richie is planning a maternity line, and the ugliest clothing I have ever seen, celebrity designed or not, has got to be Chloe Sevigny’s floral nightmare. I can’t imagine anyone would ever wear it, unless it’s nightwear, as between the sheets it would serve as a pretty good contraceptive.

Last March Forbes ran a piece about celebrity fashion lines, suggesting they were just another way for a celebrity to make money and keep their profile high. While I don’t think this is a blanket rule for all celebs, I would have to admit that a lot of their clothes seem more ‘inspired by’ then actually designed by the celebrity. How many people outside of the fashion industry would have the skills required to create a fashion range anyway?

Kate Moss’ latest range from Topshop is pretty cute, you can check it out here.

Note by Celebitchy: Some of the dresses and tank tops are cute, but there are also some truly awful shirts in Moss’ collection. Here are some of her clothes from her new TopShop line.

Kate Moss is losing her battle against the cigarette. According to the Daily Mail, the formerly waif-thin model is battling her nicotine addiction, and without much success. She’s supposedly trying to quit for the health of her young daughter, Lila Grace – and for the sake of her skin. According to the Mail, Kate knows she doesn’t have much longer to be a model at the top of her game, and she knows she’s making it harder on herself with the damaging effects of nicotine.

“She is trying desperately to ditch the fags as they are not good for her daughter Lila Grace, and they are not doing her skin any favours either.

“At 34, Kate knows she doesn’t have long at the top left, so has to try and look after herself better. She has been smoking like a chimney for years, and is finding it extremely difficult. She’s still on 30 a day, and can easily go through 40 if she has a night out.”

Kate’s battle against the ciggies comes amid reports she has also embarked on a healthy eating regime. Insiders say she is taking her diet and health more seriously, taking extra iron supplements and stocking up on spinach and greens. Optimistic insiders claim Kate, who had daughter Lila Grace by former squeeze Jefferson Hack, is ready to give up alcohol and coffee.

[From the Daily Mail]

Kate might want to just focus on one addiction at a time. Going after too many at once would be incredibly overwhelming, especially from the horror stories you hear about people trying to quit cigarettes. At 30, she’s certainly not one of those two-packs-a-day people you hear about, but that sure is a lot. Kat is also said to be addicted to nicotine patches, and has to frantically adjust them before photo shoots, depending on what she is wearing. But the worst part is that if ever someone asks her for a patch, the wealthy model charges people - $3 for one!

Despite buying bumper 60 packs of the patches, the supermodel is still struggling and smoking 30 cigarettes a day. One would have thought the outlay for patches wouldn’t be a worry for moneybags Kate — but she won’t part with a spare patch for less than £1.50.

A source said: “At photoshoots, Kate is always getting the nicotine patches out as she usually has to rearrange them depending on what she’s wearing for the shots. But if anyone else asks for one, she sells them for £1.50. People are very surprised when she tries to charge them for one as it’s the last thing you’d expect from a megabucks model. But she laughs with it and says it’s her little business on the side. The look on people’s faces when she says she has to make some spare cash somehow is hilarious!

[From the Daily Mail]

Yes, being stingy sure is hilarious! I think it’d be funny if Kate were joking about charging people, but from the context of the article she is very much serious about it. Maybe she recognizes that the smoking isn’t doing her face any favors, and the money is going to dry up pretty soon.

One day, in the very far off future, I will turn 34, and I’m wondering if following in Kate Moss’ footsteps for my party will be a good idea. Since she is such an achiever (I actually mean this) she is celebrating her birthday for 34 hours. One hour for every year of her life, starting January 16th at 2pm, and continuing until midnight the next evening. Who knew oldies could party for so long? Who knew a birthday could extend beyond 24 hours?

Naturally, you can’t expect the glamorous amongst us to just go to the local pub and rack up a bar tab. Instead Kate will be keeping her guests amused with five different excursions.

1. The supermodel will ease herself into party mode in a £2,500-a-night suite at the Dorchester hotel in Mayfair at 2pm, where she will be joined her closest female friends - Davinia Taylor, Fran Cutler, Meg Matthew, Kelly Osbourne and Kate’s daughter Lily Grace. They will pick over a Chinese meal - albeit a rather up-market one - at the hotel’s China Tang, owned by her friend David Tang.

2. Kate and her posse then plan to drop off at the house of Serena Rees, the founder of Agent Provocateur who is a good friend and also hosted an afterparty on her 30th birthday after they famously went off the rails at Claridges.

3. The group then hope to pop into their local in north London for a few drinks.

4. Her best friend Davinia Taylor’s house is also on the list

5. Lastly, the stragglers are planning to have a house-warming at Kate’s grand new home in St John’s Wood, which painters and decorators have spent the past four days frantically doing-up.

Daily Telegraph Sydney

I wish I was invited to this. Although I can’t help but wonder if the party is being held at homes because of planned drug taking. Or after having noise prevention officers come to Claridges Hotel she’s not allowed to go back.

As a short scrawny person I’ve always followed Kate Moss’ career. She started modeling at 14 after being discovered at JFK airport. She was then used in a series of advertisements for Calvin Klien fragrance, where she was nude and became the signature look for ‘heroin chic’. In 2006 she started her own fashion range for TopShop in the UK, which is also sold overseas. She has often provided vocals for songs, and is also a supporter of several charities for cancer and children. She has a seven-year-old daughter Lila.

Kate managed to stage a comeback after her ‘Cocaine Kate’ scandal.

Kate also fulfills the model’s first duty, to date photographers and rock stars. Happy Birthday Kate.

Glamour is defined as being “fascination, charisma, beauty, or sexual attraction”. All of which sound like a pretty good way to be described, particularly in relation to your physical appearance.

So getting named one of Vogue’s most glamorous women has got to be a feather in your cap (feather’s in caps? This is going to be a great look for fall!). Vogue UK’s December issue has picked fifty stylish women for the Definitive List of Today’s Glamorous Women.

Included is the Queen of England, who I have to admit is definitely always looking fabulous, and it isn’t part of her job description. All she had to do was be born into the appropriate family, no style required. Not bad for someone no less than 81 years of age! Helen Mirren, also included on the list, said of her costumes for her role in The Queen: “Here were tweed skirts and sensible brown shoes, Hermès and Barbour,” she wrote of the creations of designer, Consolata Boyle. “I thought I’d never be able to understand this woman.”. Of course, since the death of Diana (the time period portrayed in the film) Her Majesty has had something of a style makeover.

Looking good is part of the job for another lady on the list, Kate Moss, and I wonder if she deserves to be on the list? Kate’s had a bad style year, mostly because of her favourite accessory Pete Doherty. Still, not many people could look cute covered in glastonbury mud, but Kate did pull that look off.

Here’s the full list of Today’s Glam Women:

Dame Helen Mirren; Claudia Schiffer; Jemima Khan; Sophie Dahl; Natalie Massenet; Isabella Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe; Sadie Coles; Vanessa Redgrave; Rosamund Pike; Poppy and Chloe Delevingne; Zadie Smith; Zaha Hadid; Lady Isabella Cawdor; Daisy Lowe; Susanna Chancellor; Coco Rocha; Rebekah Wade; Tamara Mellon; Stella Tennant; the Dowager Duchess of Devonshire; Daphne Guinness; Natalia Vodianova; Sam Taylor-Wood; Mary Charteris; Luella Bartley; Charlotte Rampling; Plum Sykes; Lady Antonia Fraser; Naomi Campbell; Stella McCartney; Polly Samson; Ruth Rogers; Princess Rosario Saxe-Coburg; Dame Vivien Duffield; Gael Boglione; Phoebe Philo; Olivia Wilde; Lily Donaldson; Susanne Kapoor; Charlotte Stockdale; Sabrina Guinness; Lady Helen Taylor; Jasmine Guinness; Sheherazade Goldsmith; Honor Fraser; Charlotte Casiraghi; Andrea and Alice Dellal; Marina Palma; Kate Moss; Sally Albemarle; Lady Amanda Harlech; the Queen; Alice Temperley; Caroline Michel; Sophia Hesketh

Times Online

Some of these people I’ve never heard of, but I’m kind of glad. Anyone can shove a picture of Charlize Theron at the Oscars, impeccably groomed for many hours beforehand, and tell us she looks fabulous. It takes a real style queen to recognize that the Queen is not only well presented, but also fascinating and charismatic. Maybe that’s why Anna Wintour, Queen of the dull haircut and sour expression, is allowed to decide what’s stylish.

Picture note by Celebitchy: Helen Mirren is shown at the National Movie Awards on 9/28/07. Claudia Schiffer is shown at the Stardust London premiere on 10/3/07. Vanessa Redgrave is shown at a photocall for White Countess on 2/8/06. Queen Elizabeth is shown at Epsom Downs Racetrack on 6/2/07. Sophie Dahl is shown at the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix premiere on 7/3/07 and at The Golden Age Of Couture VIP Gala on 9/18/07. Kate Moss is shown with James Brown (not that one) at the James Brown London Haircare Range launch at 10/10/07. She does look rather glamorous there, I love that pantsuit!

We’ve all had those fights where we say things we shouldn’t. Harsh words are exchanged, things you never meant yelled… or worse, things you meant, but never meant to say yelled. It’s very traumatic, and a challenging part of the human condition. Thank goodness that Kate Moss and Sienna Miller know exactly where we’re coming from. The two got into a major fight over a guy… and style. No that’s not a misprint. They fought about style, all at a mutual friend’s wedding reception.

“NO wedding is complete without a good old-fashioned bust-up. And KATE MOSS and SIENNA MILLER kept the tradition alive at a mutual pal’s reception with a foul-mouthed catfight — over RHYS IFANS. I bet the Welsh scarecrow never thought he’d find himself at the centre of a jealous tug of war between two of Britain’s best looking women. Kate has been pals with Rhys for years and has had the hump since Sienna pulled him — because he’s stopped getting hammered with the model.

“Sienna arrived at the reception in London with Rhys, not long after Cocaine Kate, who was with new fella JAMIE HINCE and best pal SADIE FROST. Evil glares were exchanged across the dancefloor as the tension mounted between the two camps. And after some serious alcohol lubrication it all kicked off. A witness at Saturday’s bash told me: ‘Kate had a go at Sienna and accused her of stealing her style. She was ranting on about how Sienna was now trying to steal her lifestyle and her friends too.’”

[From the Sun]

Is it possible to steal someone’s style? It’s not exactly a tangible item. Isn’t that like stealing someone’s groove? Did I just betray my lack of cool by even asking?

Luckily Sadie Frost stepped in and sorted the whole thing out. That’s right, you can wipe the nervous sweat from your brow now.

“After Sienna fought her corner with an obscene tirade of her own, an unlikely peacemaker stepped in — Sadie. Let’s not forget Sadie once despised Sienna for getting together with her ex JUDE LAW. She and Kate once spent hours bitching about her over numerous glasses of wine — especially when Sienna’s effortless style earned her fashion contracts and she was hailed a style icon.

“But Sadie — who is trying to cut down her boozing — has long since buried the hatchet with Sienna and stepped in on Saturday to calm things down. The onlooker added: ‘Sadie stood between them and reminded them that it was a wedding and that they should show some respect. Sienna was in the mood for carrying on the scrap but Rhys persuaded her to call it a night.’”

Well really, if you can’t count on the woman whose ex-husband you slept with to rescue you from the wrath of Kate Moss, who can you count on? The other day when Kate Moss was screaming at me on the subway and I was starting to get kinda freaked out, this lady whose husband I once slept with rushed in and told Kate to chill. I told her it actually wasn’t Kate Moss but a crazed heroin addict, and she apologized and went on her way. You can see how she’d make that mistake though.

Oh holy grossness. Kate Moss is dating Pete Doherty again. We thought we’d heard that last week, but then found out the next day that he was seeing model Irina Lazareanu. Well now they’re together again. Supposedly. You know how everyone knows some couple that’s forever breaking up and getting back together? Normally by the time they hit their mid-twenties to early thirties, they’ve matured enough to stay together or stay apart. This isn’t the case for these two, who are far too crazy and unbalanced to ever make a decision and stick with it. The two have reconciled and been holed up in a London hotel together for over a week. Will someone please tell me what is so irresistible about this guy? I could pick apart his physicality, but that isn’t really the issue. It’s the poor hygiene, drug-addict-beyond-all-belief coupled with the terrible he’ll-squirt-vials-of-his-own- blood-on-people-because-he-thinks-it’s-funny personality. Those things make him look more repulsive. I’m sure if he wasn’t an unrepentant drug addict with jerky tendencies, we’d be all “Oh, how cute, he’s a sweet dork,” or whatever. I mean he’d never win a modeling competition, but no one would lay in bed at night, unable to sleep because they were so confused by Pet Doherty’s appeal. I’m pretty sure he has bugs. Okay I’m done now.

“English supermodel Kate Moss has run back into the needle-scarred arms of Pete Doherty. Our man in London spotted the co-dependent couple at Claridge’s hotel last week, having a weepy reunion. Since then, against the wishes of her family and handlers, Moss has been holed up with the Babyshambles rocker in a $4,000-a-night suite at the Mayfair hotel for five days.

“Apparently, Kate has forgotten that Doherty told the Mirror - which reportedly paid him $80,000 - that she was “jealous and suspicious” and “a nasty old rag.”

“Now they’re said to be talking about a wedding and children. This, after Doherty’s umpteenth arrest last week for suspected drug possession. Not to mention those British reports that a vet discovered a sickly kitty - born to Pete’s cat Dinger (slang for syringe) - had cocaine in its system. Surely, he’ll make a great dad.”

[From Rush & Malloy]

Remember back in the day when Tom Cruise said he was going to eat the placenta after Katie Holmes gave birth? I could totally see Pete Doherty doing that. He really would make a great dad to Kate Moss’s kids. “Hey kids, who wants to play pin the tail on the donkey with these hypodermic needles?” And then somehow all the needles would end up in the kid. “Who wants to drink their own blood?” And “Let’s play find Daddy’s heroin implant and rip it out of his stomach with a carving knife we’ve sterilized by licking!” Speaking of sterilized, can enough drugs do that to your system? Because if there’s any justice in this world, if nothing else Pete Doherty should be sterile by now.

It’s amazing what people will pay you to look good. Actually, looking good doesn’t quite cut it – in the words of Derek Zoolander, I guess you’ve got to be “really, really ridiculously good looking.”

So Forbes has released a list of the top fifteen highest paid models, and surprisingly, Kate Moss comes in at number 2, beaten out by Gisele Bunchen. Then again, Kate’s got ten years experience on Gisele; we’ll see where Gisele is on the list in 2017.

What do you do to earn all this cash? Forbes elaborates…

Gisele Bundchen is a workhorse who leads the pack by far: While most models on the list have one major contract in addition to three or four seasonal campaigns, Bundchen juggles almost 20 campaigns. She also brings in at least $6 million a year by licensing her name to a Brazilian shoe company, Grendene. But watch for Bundchen’s fortunes to possibly decline next year: In December, her record-breaking $5 million a year deal with Victoria’s Secret expires.

For most other models, things are different. Top models like those on our list still bank millions, but only once a multiyear contract is secured. The days of $10,000 runway fees are over. Top models don’t even do runway. It’s considered an internship process for the hundreds of anonymous 15- and 16-year-old foreign girls who swarm the runways of New York, Paris and Milan each season. They do 70 shows in six weeks and are paid about $250 an hour their first season.

A good hardworking model can make $200,000 a season. But chances are that model, once the season is over, will never be seen or heard from again.

I could do that. And if I was a foot taller and around ten pounds lighter someone might pay me to do it.

Forbes also has online a behind the scenes look at a Victoria Secret shoot, apparently businessmen like scantily clad models as much as any truck driver.

Interestingly, it also has a small write up about the best way to stop the aging process – digital retouching.

The Top Fifteen earning models are:
1. Gisele Bunchen $33million
2. Kate Moss $9 million
3. Heidi Klum $8
4. Adriana Lima $6 million
5. Alessandra Ambrosio $6 million
6. Carolyn Murphy $5 million
7. Natalia Vodianova $4.5 million
8. Karolina Kurkova $3.5 million
9. Daria Werbowy $3.5 million
10. Gemma Ward $3 million
11. Liya Kebede $2.5 million
12. Hilary Rhoda $2 million
13. Shalom Harlow $2 million
14. Doutzen Kroes $1.5 million
15. Jessica Stam $1.5 million

Here are some pictures of Gisele launching the new Dolce and Gabbana fragrance on 7/15.

In yet another edition from the Moss and Doherty Handbasket to Hell Review: new footage of Pete Doherty shooting up hit the newsstands and web today. Stills and video allegedly show this latest sobriety stumble two days after their much denied and confirmed “commitment ceremony” in Thailand. Grim, grainy and gruesome indeed - is this the world’s shortest or just messiest honeymoon period?

According to reports, Doherty, 27, had left the exclusive resort where they were staying to seek out drugs.

He was recognised by an Australian fan who invited him back to her room with her and two female friends.

Once there, Doherty was filmed injecting himself on a bed strewn with drugs paraphernalia and cash.

He can also be seen talking to someone - possibly Moss - on a mobile phone while he gets high.

With fans like that who needs enemies, pushers or pincushions? Not that poor Pete seems to need much help in lurching from ill considered lapse to ill considered lapse. He’s a pasty faced, sad baby with tragic-end writ large across his shaggy bangs. When it comes to addiction he seems to give as good as he gets: Kate certainly cannot get enough or tear herself away from his dying spaniel charms.

Last night a source close to the model said: “Kate is understandably livid about these pictures. That they were taken just two days after their special commitment ceremony simply adds insult to injury.

“Of course Kate still loves Pete and vice-versa but she’s a clever woman and knows that she has got to put her career first. Kate needs to start looking after herself - or at least be seen to be doing so - and has been strongly advised to take some time off from Pete.

“This means not getting herself photographed with him and certainly no raucous nights out - at least until the fuss has all died down a bit.”

[Via The Daily Telegraph]

With sources close to you like that who needs a poke in the eye?

Surely one of the key things about merely ‘pretending to tidy up your act’ temporarily so you don’t get a nasty smack from the world is that you gotta keep it to yourself. If everyone knows its a lie … you are very likely to be confronted on the ol’ blatant falsehood. Unless you are Dick Cheney.

The kind of rebel chic that was the subtext of Moss’ short fall and celebrated return to advertisers’ graces last year was all about “edge.” She was still edgy … she was newly edgy … she was so Edgy if anyone still cared about U2 she could whack on a little wool cap and play arena rock with them.

This very fashiony reading of scandal is unlikely to survive ongoing tales of Kate Moss a Mess - Pete Doherty Pincushion — no end in sight to continuing downward spiral. The edge and glamour seem to be fading from the coverage and both are showing up looking rather bruised, scabby and dehydrated. Sid and Nancy is a fine film … but as a lifestyle it’s not very Burberry or Vogue.

Kate Moss sure enjoys getting some sun on her boobs. She was last photographed topless while on vacation in Jamaica. Moss insists she’s single after a rumored New Year’s day commitment ceremony with her druggie boyfriend Pete Doherty. It’s likely that her publicist staged an intervention and told her to deny it, but there were too many details published for me to accept that it was just a rumor.

Kate is shilling for Burberry again in their 2007 spring ad campaign. The British label, known for its trademark khaki plaid, stood by Kate after her cocaine scandal in 2005. She’s more than come back from that daming videotape to become the world’s fourth highest paid model in 2005.

Pete and Kate might not have tied the knot in Phuket, (which is not pronounced the way we assumed) Thailand this holiday, but they did hole themselves up in their suite for two days, turning away cleaning staff and taking breaks from their lovefest to sip champagne.
