HM ditches Kate Moss
The Local ^ | 9/21/05 | Meatball Chef

Swedish clothing retailer Hennes and Mauritz has decided not to use Kate Moss in its forthcoming advertising campaign, after photographs of the supermodel snorting cocaine appeared in the British press last week.

"After having considered the situation, we have decided to cancel the planned campaign," said Liv Asarnoj, press officer at HM.

"It is not compatible with our clear opposition to drugs," she told Expressen.

Moss was due to model a range of clothes designed by Stella McCartney in preparation for the collection's launch in November. But images of her, taken in a London recording studio, dividing a pile of cocaine before snorting line after line of the drug through a rolled five pound note put the company off.

HM says it will go ahead with the advertising campaign but will replace Moss with another model.

"I can't say how the new campaign will be at the moment - I don't want to go into details," said Liv Asarnoj.

They really fired her for smoking (in beautiful people society tobacco is much worse than coke.

They dumped Kate? No biggie. Lots of models haven't been caught with a spoon up their nose yet.

"Kate went off Sadie when she split from Jude. She'd sleep with people if they were important," said a source close to the actress.

"Sadie is in love with Kate, she is possessive over her but Kate is not so interested in her now. I was told that Sadie went mad when she heard Kate was trying to get off with Davinia."

Rebecca White knows only too well the mayhem drugs cause in the supermodel's sex life. "When she's doing cocaine, it's normal behaviour for her to jump on a couch with another woman and start fondling her breasts."

In 2002, while Rebecca was working for Naomi Campbell in Barcelona, she experienced first hand the supermodel's insatiable craving for cocaine AND women on the same day.

"Kate said she had to go back to the hotel to change," she recalled.

"She said: ‘And YOU'RE coming with me'. So I did.

"When we got to her hotel room, Kate tore off her dress, came up to me in her panties and started kissing me.

"We fell onto the bed together and she touched my breasts, but after a few minutes of groping and kissing, I started to feel nervous and gently pushed her away."

A further source who knows Kate well told us she believed the model's lesbianism went into overdrive after she had secret treatment for alcohol and cocaine addiction at the Priory clinic in Roehampton.

She also says junkie Kate dreams of creating a bohemian "set" among her friends—swapping partners and being bisexual. "Kate sees this as exciting and spicy."

But whereas Kate sees her dream as stylish, other pals realise it is just a drug-fuelled illusion.

"Everyone calls her and her mates Kate and the Disciples," said our source.

"Everyone knows she swings both ways. She is awful for going at it with girls when she's off her head on coke or booze. She would not do it when she was sober."

Some threads are useless without pictures.

I never understood her appeal to begin with. She is not that beautiful, I just think the waif image caught on and she was the poster child.

Whoa. These pics are for real, not Photoshop'd? How could any designer allow them on the runway? They should be in hospital with feeding tubes/IVs in place and a psychiatrist at their bedsides.

That miserable human being is sickening skinny.

Crack whores often get like that.

I'm almost certain those aren't real, but I'm willing to bet that there are girls out there currently striving for the look.

I thought she beefed up. She's not wafer thin anymore.

The tabloid photos show what seem to be a bit more normal size of legs and arms. Perhaps that's why she was doing "lines and lines" - "oh - Im SOOOO fat!"

Kate went off Sadie when she split from Jude.

That reads like a Butthole Surfer lyric.

Kate went off Sadie when she split away from Jude,
Micheal went the other way because it was so rude,
Julie left with that other guy, I think his name was Cyrus,
Timmy and his friend Tammy, they got a nasty virus
