Every Day is Kate Moss 'n' Cocaine Day
Jessica · 09/22/05 10:50AMThe fallout from last week's Daily Mirror photo spread of model Kate Moss enjoying a healthy line or twelve of cocaine continues, as stalwart label Burberry followed Chanel and H&M in dropping Moss from their campaign. Cosmetics company Rimmel is also reviewing their contract with Moss, having officially expressed their dismay with the model for clearly wearing Clinique eyeshadow while being photographed blowing rails.
Today in Kate Moss & Cocaine: Au Revoir, Chanel
Jessica · 09/21/05 03:30PMThings just keep getting worse for (former?) supermodel Kate Moss. After her coke-sniffing mug was featured on the cover of the UK's Daily Mirror last week, mega-retailer H&M has dropped Moss from their upcoming campaign and it seems that Chanel is following suit, refusing to renew Moss' contract in October. Moss still has a deal with cosmetics company Rimmel but, at this rate, we doubt that'll last much longer.

• Kate Moss' well-documented coke binge last week doesn't compare to that one time she blew through a fist-sized mound of cocaine with fellow catwalker Naomi Campbell, or when she demanded several hundred British pounds' worth of coke just to attend an event with Nelson Mandela, or that three-way incident with Jude Law and his then-wife, Sadie Frost.

• The pre-Emmy party at the Hollywood Roosevelt hotel was a tweenie showdown, with Nicole Richie and Mischa Barton holding court on one side of the pool and Paris Hilton, Mary-Kate Olsen, and Lindsay Lohan on the other. Lohan, being friendly with both "teams," spent most of her time running back and forth. Then Hilary Duff took everyone's lunch money. [Page Six]
• On her last night as a free woman, newly-imprisoned rapper Lil' Kim enjoyed a tearful dinner at Mr. Chow and dancing at PM. All in Gucci, and all for the cameras. [Lowdown (2nd item)]

Kate Moss Cocaine Update: H&M Refuses to Be an Enabler
Jessica · 09/20/05 08:37AMNot one week after supermodel Kate Moss was busted by the UK's Daily Mirror for indulging in some beefy lines of coke, cheap-chic retail chain H&M has decided to drop supermodel Kate Moss from its upcoming campaign. This comes as a complete 180 from yesterday, when the company publically stated to be "giving [Moss] a second chance." Apparently they needed to sleep on it one more night, because that second chance lasted about 24 hours, according to an H&M spokeswoman:
Kate Moss Cocaine Update: Why Yes, That Was Blow She Was Doing
Jessica · 09/19/05 02:04PMAs it turns out, most of last week was not a figment of our imagination: Supermodel Kate Moss, appearing on the cover of the UK's Daily Mirror cutting and snorting hearty lines of cocaine, has admitted that she was not bumping a mix of powdered sugar and baking soda. The white substance featured at right was, in fact, COCAINE.
Weekend Getaway With Harold Evans
Jessica · 09/19/05 07:15AMIn this week's edition of his BBC Radio 4 broadcast, Tina Brown's slave-hubby Harold Evans continues to give the U.S. of A. some more head, going down on Katrina and fellating the event into a lengthy speech on American semantics. Specifically, Harry finds perhaps the only positive outcome from the devastating hurricane, as the media is abandoning all sorts of fluff terms and calling poor people exactly what they are: poor. We're not even sure what that means, but it sounds fascinating! After the jump, Henry the Intern's weekly report.

Jessica · 09/16/05 08:30AMYou really have to hand it to the Daily Mirror: After yesterday's front-page story starring supermodel Kate Moss — who bravely inhaled multiple lines of Bolivian marching powder — they've managed to stretch the story out to a second day, announcing that they have video footage of the event ('cause, you know, it's fun to hit the rewind button and watch Moss shoot cocaine out of her nose).

Jessica · 09/15/05 09:50AMIt's not today's story about supermodel Kate Moss, who the UK's Daily Mirror has photographed hoovering coke, that has us all worked up. She's a fucking model, for chrissakes, and joined at the butt to rocker Pete Doherty, who's addicted to substances we don't even know exist yet. OF COURSE SHE DOES COCAINE. Welcome to Fashion Week 1978!

Jesse · 09/13/05 12:27PMWeekend Getaway With Harold Evans
Jessica · 09/12/05 07:30AMIn this week's edition of Harold Evans' BBC Radio 4 broadcast, Tina Brown's love monkey directs his passion, yet again, to the glory of the American spirit. Naturally, Evans reflects on the goverment's response (or lack thereof) in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and predicts the disaster to have a similar political impact as that of the Great Depression. Why you care: Evans somehow comes to this conclusion via a metaphor about a log floating in water, which sounds a lot like borderline potty humor to us. After the jump, Henry the Intern's weekly report.
