"She’s done nothing wrong. What she does in her private life should be her own private affair. We are talking about a woman who has never hurt anybody and never pretended to be somebody she isn’t.”
he then goes on:
“I have personally taken cocaine with the people who are now writing these stories.”
I'd like to be snarky...but I think Robbie's right on the money actually...the media's holier-than-thou attitude is ridiculous. Who is anyone to judge what Kate Moss chooses to do in her spare time? It (for some reason) reminds me of how, at every U.S Presidential election...some people always get worked up over whether a candidate ever smoked pot...as if it were somehow relevant to the person he/she is today. O.k...so maybe that has nothing to with Kate Moss...

Yeah, so Kate isn't the only one who's done drugs. But I dunno, E, the fact that she's doing them and is a top model (soon to be *was* the way things are going for the poor girl) sends a bad message.
And for the record, I never got worked up over Clinton's date with pot (no matter how much he lied... "I did NOT inhale!!!"), nor Bush's "I was on the sauce" non-speech. It's just the fact that they aren't doing it anymore. That's ok by me.

haha...the "I did not inhale" is used by 'famous' people all the time and it's like...you're so lying!!!...Why don't they just lie completely and say they never took it?
Yeah...I know what you mean re: Kate Moss...but I just think...Cocaine is present at some point in most celebrity's lives...why crucify one person out of everyone? You know? She's never gone on a publicity seeking "drug ordeal" like Naomi Campbell or Donatella or anything. What cares what she chooses to do?
In any case...I think celebrities are the worst role models anyway :)

There are two reasons to jump for joy over the Kate Moss scandal.
The first reason is that "the industry" sends the message that we should want to look like these women. Besides genetics, we need an eating disorder and a coke habit to do so. There are a lot of naive people out there who don't think these chicks are on the snort diet.
The second reason is, Kate just got a huge libel settlement from the mirror because they posted she had a coke overdose. It wasn't that the story was untrue, it was that they couldn't PROVE it was coke. They got the last laugh in this dispute, and I think it's funny as hell.
Society is being sent a horrible message by the fashion industry. And it's all the fault of women who buy into this. We whine that we aren't thin like the models, we buy the magazines and partake of fashion as if it were religion. We are funding this madness. I think it's absolutely pathetic that we women have made the likes of Kate Moss rich.
And Viva lot POT.
I think it's human nature to want to attain what is difficult...in our society (do to food abundance) it happens to be thinness.
O.k...I see now that the Mirror is getting back at Kate...makes sense...but the thing is, cocaine in the industry is not going to stop...people are just going to be a lot more careful about it. I think 'cool' drug use is prevalent because of idleness...(not that I think it's a bad thing...I love being idle) and money...so I think it would continue even if weight restrictions on models were relaxed...
then again...most of us take drugs (esp. in the form of alcohol, caffeine) so...who's to say what's right and wrong...it depends on social acceptance/the environment you live in...

p.s. I realise I'm rambling REALLY badly...sorry...it's been a long day :)
Loved what you wrote, Anonymous 1:29!
she looks like an lien spawn here.
The neck be lookin' strange.
Hmm. I thought in the last US election (well, 2000 anyway) the discussion was exactly when dubya stopped using cocaine.
This whole story is awful, Kate Moss is being crucified by a "news"paper and now by every commentator on the planet. Nobody has the right to judge her, least of all people who are doing exactly the same thing that she has been criticised for!!!! Its totaly outrageous. I for one hope that she manages to retain her crown as THEE Queen of fashion!!!!
This is someone who makes millions because of her image. She has made a hugely succesful career maintaining a certain image... that's why you never hear her speak - a mind with opinions ruins the whole deer-in-the-headlights-"Oh no! You've caught me being the embodiment of chic-ness again"-look-thing. If she weren't image-conscious -that is to say- if she didn't have an extremely heightened awareness of how she appears to those onlooking - she wouldn't be able to be Kate Moss.
So that established - one question... Why the hell would she allow herself to be videotaped doing something illegal? OK, two questions... why would she do something illegal around someone she can't trust to not sell a videotape of her doing something illegal?
To me the whole thing reeks of self-destruction. My hip pocket pscyhological guess is -at least on some level- she doesn't want to be Kate Moss anymore.
alien spawn, check. that was exactly what i was thinking at that picture. either that or one of those incan mummies they dig up every so often, all staring blankly with their skin stretched-leather over what's left of their faces.
just because the people persecuting her now for stuff they've done and tacitly condoned in the past are smarmy two-faced hypocrites... doesn't make some cokeheas overpaid clotheshanger any more of a role-model.
* sorry, that should be cokehead. not cokeheas. not that it matters.
As far as I know...the camera was hidden...Kate had no idea she was being filmed...the Mirror is doing a 'payback' over the libel suit...
I don't know if her fans are being dramatic...but there is talk that she's suicidal atm.

yeah...there was talk af Bush's cocaine use...by I remember Al was almost in hot water becasue some reporter (who was his friend or something) knew that he was a pot-head in his college days...

I don't remember Bush ever really discussing his cocaine habits. It was alluded to and he alluded to stopping that sort of thing x# of years ago, but was there ever a moment when he declared: "Yes, I did cocaine and now I am clean"?
Not that I remember. And I was Stateside for the 2000 election.
If it ever came up in last year's forgive me, I was overseas.
It's sad that Kate is being vilified by the very people who put her in that position, but as has been said before, we did see it all comin. I actually do feel bad, because there are a lot of pressures in her world, but I wish that she had thought of the ramifications beforehand and put the rolled-up bill down, conspiracy or not.
