Vanessa Baker — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 14:17:12 +0000

American Idol judge Simon Cowell and Sir Phillip Green, owner of Topshop clothing stores, have teamed up to form a global entertainment super-company. Model Kate Moss has been asked to be the director of style and image for the company, which hopes to rival the other big name brands in television and fashion.

“Kate has been signed as a figurehead and style setter for the fashion end of the business,” said a source. “She will bring her expertise to the table, advising on all branding and style for clothes, hair and accessories. Something that has also been talked about is Kate developing her own singing career and starting a music label.”

Since signing on to the still unnamed company, Moss has doubled her net-worth to $100 million.

Alt-rockers the Lemonheads will release their album of covers, “Varshons,” on June 23 – and you might be surprised by two of the famous names making guest appearances.

Supermodel Kate Moss can be heard singing on the track “Dirty Robot,” originally performed by Arling & Cameron. Meanwhile, “The Incredible Hulk” actress Liv Tyler provides backup vocals on the Leonard Cohen song “Hey, That’s No Way To Say Goodbye.”

Other artists covered on the album include Gram Parson (”I Just Can’t Take It Anymore”), Townes Van Zandt (”Waiting Around to Die”) and Christina Aguilera (”Beautiful”).

“Varshons” was produced by the Butthole Surfers’ Gibby Haynes, whom Lemonheads frontman Evan Dando credited with inspiring the covers collection.

“Making a good mix is an art, and Gibby has it down,” Dando said in a statement. “I thought it would be fun to share these songs with other people like he shared them with me. So I picked the ‘greatest hits’ from his mixes and covered them, along with a few other songs I always wanted to play.”

The Lemonheads formed in Boston in 1986, with Dando remaining the only constant member over the years. The group’s most recent album was a self-titled release in 2006 that featured contributions from members of The Band and Dinosaur Jr.

Kate Moss has reportedly been dumped for her refusal to change her hard partying ways.

After a turbulent relationship with Jamie Hince, the guitaris for The Kills, the pair have called it quits for good.

“Jamie told her he was fed up with her reluctance to stop partying and focus on normality,” a source told the UK Daily Mail. “We have heard it all before but this time friends felt her attitude was very different. They just don’t see eye-to-eye. When their relationship is good it’s amazing but when it’s bad it’s a tragedy.”

On Thursday, Pete Doherty shocked Babyshambles and gossip lovers alike. He performed at the Europe MTV Music Awards, proving he actually has a job. And he actually looked clean.

That positive bit of news has quickly evaporated, as video surfaced on UK site The Sun, of Doherty shooting up just hours later.

In the camera phone video, Doherty is wearing the same clothes and wristband he wore home from the award show, where he joked about missing drugs.

He has been arrested numerous times for drug offences, but never had to serve time.

KATE MOSS and PETE DOHERTY have checked into a London clinic together to help the troubled rocker conquer his drug addictions.

The pair were photographed yesterday arriving at the Capio Nightingale Hospital in north London, which specializes in helping patients overcome drug dependency.

It is thought the pair will attend therapy sessions together.

A source tells British newspaper The Sun, “They arrived together and they will be supporting each other.”

Doherty has attempted rehab on numerous occasions in a bid to tackle his heroin and crack cocaine habits. Moss was herself treated in 2005 after being caught on camera snorting cocaine.

Troubled rocker PETE DOHERTY was arrested for joyriding early Saturday morning, just hours after he ruled out marriage to his supermodel girlfriend KATE MOSS.

At around 5 a.m. police officers noticed a car thought to be stolen in Hackney, east London, and prompted the driver to stop by flashing their blue lights. But the car sped off and cops were forced to chase after it.

Doherty, who was allegedly a passenger in the car, reportedly tried to flee when it eventually came to a halt, but he was soon caught by police officers.

A spokesman for London’s Scotland Yard police confirmed, “Police arrested three males aged 35, 22 and 27 in the early hours of Saturday morning.”

On Saturday, Doherty was reportedly still being kept in a police cell awaiting bail.

Earlier in the evening the 27-year-old had played a gig with his band BABYSHAMBLES nearby, announcing afterwards, “I’m never getting married. I don’t believe in it. Kate and I are in love – I worship her – but we’re not going down the aisle. I’m happy the way it is.”

Kate Moss Named Britain’s Model Of The Year

andPOP Staff — Fri, 03 Nov 2006 16:28:38 +0000

Kate Moss has proven that you can be a coke junkie and still get lauded for being beautiful.

On Thursday, Moss was named Britain’s Model of the Year at the British Fashion Awards, beating out top contenders Erin O’Connor and Alek Wek.

“Kate Moss is a fashion icon and without doubt one of the most prolific models in the industry,” the awards panel said. “She has now been modeling for over 15 years and remains at the top of her game.”

Last year, photographs of Moss allegedly using cocaine were published in London’s Daily Mirror newspaper. The supermodel ended up losing modeling contracts with H&M, Chanel, Gloria Vanderbilt and Burberry. She publicly apologized and entered a drug rehabilitation clinic in Arizona.

She was not charged for her drug use, however, due to insufficient evidence.

“Model of the Year” recipients are chosen by leading press, buyers and industry figures from a shortlist compiled by British Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman and a committee.

Moss has made a huge comeback since the cocaine scandal, winning back more than a dozen contracts including signings with Bulgari, Christian Dior and Rimmel cosmetics.
