Moss axed from new Babyshambles album cover
Kate Moss' scantily clad pics have been dropped from the cover of Babyshambles' new album, 'Shotter's Nation'.
The supermodel's ex Pete Doherty had earlier decided that the cover would include a pic of Kate in 'Agent Provocateur' lingerie.
But that was before the couple split in July, and record bosses decided to use a stand-in's pics instead of Moss.
In August record chiefs were left with a dilemma, whether to keep Kate or dump her.
"The pictures of Kate were amazing. But no one knew who owned the copyright to them. After their nasty split they didn't want to risk Kate or Agent Provocateur trying to sue them for using her image on the cover," the Sun quoted a source, as saying.
"The decision to change the pictures wasn't something Pete's management or the record company took lightly," the source said.
The chiefs had to decide amongst themselves, as Pete wasn't allowed to leave his programme at the rehab clinic. And with the album's release date fast approaching, they decided to be on a safer side and use different pics.
"But a decision needed to be made. They wanted the album out before the band's arena tour in November," source revealed.
Moss has also helped write four tracks on the new album.
"Kate helped to write four songs. But unless you read the tiny writing on the inside cover you'd never know. The pictures on the cover now are similar to the originals of Kate," the source added.
