London's Daily Mirror claimed to have given police its footage of the catwalker allegedly snorting cocaine along with her then-boyfriend Pete Doherty during a late-night recording session for his band. The tabloid had previously published photos that showed the model apparently doing drugs, fueling a backlash against Moss that caused her to lose several high-profile contracts. Police declined to comment on the tape.

While Moss never specifically copped to the drug use, she did issue an apology "to all of the people I have let down because of my behavior which has reflected badly on my family, friends, co-workers, business associates and others," and entered a rehab facility in Arizona. Police pledged to further investigate the allegations against the supermodel, saying they would decide whether or not to press charges against Moss based on the impact her actions were determined to have on "impressionable young people."

Since checking out of rehab in late October, Moss has been strutting the comeback trail.

*****

In addition to the three magazine covers and a number of fashion shoots, Moss also landed a starring role in a U.K.-based Virgin Mobile advertising campaign that pokes fun at her drug scandal and subsequent contract loss. The ad, scheduled to debut on British television on Christmas Eve, was available for viewing on the Internet Thursday. In the commercial, Moss receives a call from her overzealous (American) agent, who claims to have won her "the mother of all contracts," which turns out to be a new cell phone plan with Virgin. The ad closes with the line, "Virgin Mobile. One contract worth keeping."

Kate, Cocaine, Chanel and Scientology

It looks like there's more bad news for Kate Moss. After first saying they would keep her on, Swedish giant H&M has said they're dumping Moss for the upcoming Stella McCartney campaign. Then, Chanel piled on and said it would not be renewing her contract to be the face of Coco Madmoiselle perfume. Not to be outdone, Burberry then announced that they were also firing Moss.

Then a friend of Moss' gave an exclusive story to a British tabloid detailing a sordid ongoing affair between Moss and actress Sadie Frost, when she was still married to Jude Law (this is before the Nanny incident, try to keep up.) When Jude Law found out that his wife had been having naughty relations with Kate, he was furious...not that his wife was having an affair, but that he wasn't included. Yes, that's right, Jude then demanded to join in and all was well.

The giant fashion conglomerates were most unhappy that the face of their products is now also apparently the face of the drug-addicted, lesbian orgy lifestyle. But it gets worse. Now the London police want to investigate.

he buzz over Kate Moss' alleged drug use is showing no sign of quieting. Authorities have launched an investigation into photos published by the U.K.'s Daily Mirror that seemingly show the supermodel snorting cocaine, London's Metropolitan Police said Wednesday.

While officials usually focus on investigating drug dealers rather than users, that policy is "adaptable to the impact of events," Sir Ian Blair, the commissioner of Metropolitan Police, told reporters. Blair said that any decision on charges would be made with consideration into how the events impacted young people. "We have to look at the impact of this kind of behavior on impressionable young people and if there is evidence something should be done about it," he said.

"I can remember being asked a question about a previous individual who was given a caution. I think that was a wrong decision." Police said the investigation would require more evidence than the newspaper photos before it could proceed.

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse for poor Kate, it does. Apparently, the Scientologists are hounding her to partake in their drug rehab program, Narconon. The Scientologists are promising Kate they can turn her life around. Could a couch-jumping episode on Oprah be in Kate's future? Stay tuned....

Cocaine Kate Fesses Up

They're calling her Cocaine Kate. And that doesn't make Burberry, Chanel or Dior very happy. Not to mention Coty-owned Rimmel cosmetics, which is marketed mostly to teens. She fessed up to being a druggie and has kept her contract to model for Stella McCartney's new campaign. But her other contracts are up in the air, and she's worried she might lose custody of her 2 year-old daughter, Lila Grace.

Apparently Lila’s father, Jefferson Hack was horrified at pics of Kate snorting five lines of coke in 40 minutes and fumed to a friend: "That stupid bit**. She’s not thinking of Lila." "I know Kate is a good mother who loves our child. But I’m no longer allowing our daughter to be in the same room as Doherty. He’s turned Kate into a druggie like him."

Moss has reportedly fretted: "How could I fight it in court if Jeff wants solo custody of Lila after this? Any judge would take one look at those pictures and take her off me."

In an attempt to rectify the situation Kate has now promised to go into rehab and has apparently accepted there is no future in her relationship with Doherty.

The photos were allegedly emailed to Kate by close friend, Sadie Frost, and caused the model to cry out: "My f***ing career is over!" Unbelievably her first response was to ask friends if she could tell the world that she had been "joking around" and "just pretending to take cocaine."

Just "pretending to take cocaine"? Brilliant spin! No doubt the judge, her ex-husband, and her giant cosmetics company employers will buy that easily. Who knew she had brains as well as looks?
