Oh, Kate

No sooner has Moss apologized to her modeling employers for using cocaine than fresh gusts of scandal are buffeting the mannequin.

Over the weekend, sources claimed in Britain's News of the World that Moss had lesbian romps with actresses Sadie Frost and Davinia Taylor, as well as a three-way with Frost and her former husband Jude Law.

Fashion p.a. Rebecca White was quoted as alleging that she'd seen Moss and pal Naomi Campbell blow their way through a "fist-sized" mound of cocaine in a single night.

White also told the paper that Moss "asked for several hundred [British] pounds' worth of cocaine" before attending a 2002 benefit for Nelson Mandela Children's Fund.

"She sneaked off to [take cocaine] all the way through the dinner, with Nelson Mandela at the next table," said White. "I couldn't believe how disrespectful that was."

Christian Dior, Burberry and H. Stern have all sidestepped any definitive answer on whether Moss will stay with them.

A rep for retailer H&M said Friday that it wouldn't dump Moss because she had apologized for her drug use and promised in writing to remain "healthy, wholesome and sound."

But yesterday, H&M seemed to be distancing itself, with a rep saying: "We are having a dialogue with her. This is a very unfortunate situation."

Meanwhile, London's Mirror reported that Moss has split with boyfriend Pete Doherty. The bleary-eyed rocker was seen a disco on the Spanish isle of Ibiza without Moss — instead kissing another man.

Moss' rep would only say yesterday that "all these allegations are being dealt with by lawyers, and we will not be commenting at present." A rep for Campbell, who in the past has been open with the press about her cocaine use, declined to comment.

Isn't that a shame? I think the status now is that H&M, Burberry AND Chanel (or is it Gucci?) have all dropped Katie as their models. What kind of world is it that we live in, where a supermodel can't snort some
co-ca-IN-e and not be penalized for it? To err is human, afterall. I don't think it's really that big of a deal. All the rich and famous folks do it. Katie just got caught, that's all. Argh. I feel sorry for her. Next time Katie, don't confess- just keep mum and deny deny deny! ;-)

The police in Indonesia must be softening up on that whole death penalty for drug possession thing. I did mention that I was arrested there for being in a place because there was a possibility that someone in the club took drugs at some point in the last week, right? Anyway, it's kind of funny how they thought that her leaving Nelson Mandela to go snort up was "disrespectful". As if someone doing drugs was like the worst thing he's seen after being in prison for 30 years.
 
It could all have been so different if her drug of choice had been hash instead of cocaine. I can see the headlines now when a top supermodel is caught smoking spliff and stuffing face with candy bars: My Snickers Shame, Munchies Moss M&Ms Nightmare.
However, I can't help but feel that a proper dinner would solve a lot of Ms Moss' problems.
Or is this making light of her drugs hell?
