Looks like VV has sewn back her ripped-up leopard cardigan! It's amazing how she keeps bringing it back to life.. or does she have a lifetime supply?!?

Have been meaning to scan this for ages, but my scanner has been broken and I just fixed it today. I don't think this has been posted. From Lula Issue 6 (I have just scanned Alison's part as the article is SO long otherwise). Sorry about the terrible scans but my scanner sucks and I could hardly fit the magazine in it ...

scans by me, imageshack.

According to The London Paper, Jamie and Kate have split up, because she spent too much time texting Pete in the early hours of the morning. I think it's too far-fetched but who knows...

Game over for Kate Moss and Jamie Hince?

It looks like it's the end of the road for Kate Moss and rocker boyfriend Jamie Hince after the supermodel was spotted in floods of tears.

The 34-year-old has been enjoying some late night text flirting with her ex, Babyshambles bad boy Pete Doherty and The Kills frontman Hince is less than impressed.

As our exclusive series of pics show Moss was snapped wiping away tears as she arrived at her north London home yesterday after Jamie made had his feelings clear.

Minutes later the rocker turned up clutching a YSL designer bag as a gift for Kate, in an attempt to help thaw relations.

He stayed the night but the dishevelled guitarist was back on the street today - this time clutching the designer bag and a packed suitcase.

One eye witness said: "He didn't say much but he didn't look happy at all. I asked him if he'd been given the heave-ho... and he didn't reply but sometimes a look is all you need."

Earlier this week a source told the Mirror newspaper how Doherty and Moss has been text flirting.

He added: “Jamie was furious when Pete got in touch about a week ago. And over the last three nights he and Kate have texted each other until the early hours.

“Pete has been showing the texts to mates and thinks he is on the verge of winner her back but his mates aren’t convinced.”

And the mirror is reporting this...

With their matching skinny jeans and a bevy of celebrity pals, they make a distinctive showbiz couple.
But is the end in sight for Kate Moss and Jamie Hince?
After 10 months together, The Kills singer has been moving his possessions out of the supermodel's North London home.
We're told: "Jamie and Kate had a blazing argument in the early hours of Saturday morning.
"Kate made some comment about a girl who'd been hanging around Jamie and it deteriorated from there.
"Just hours later, Jamie was packing his things and moving stuff out of her house. By the afternoon, most of it had gone.
"Kate was expected to watch The Kills play in Kent that evening but she gave it a miss and went to watch the show High School Musical instead.
"Her friends had to virtually drag her there kicking and screaming as she was so upset.
"Since then, Kate and Jamie haven't spoken as she has had her mobile turned off or has been screening his calls.
"But he's telling friends that it's not a permanent split - it's simply that he's in the doghouse.
"Jamie is playing in Scotland this weekend and is confident that Kate will be there by his side and cheering him on from the side of the stage."
This is the second row in a week they are reported to have had.
After snubbing his gig at the Mighty Boosh festival in Kent on Saturday, 34-year-old Kate spent yesterday relaxing in Marbella on the Costa del Sol. They have had a fairly tempestuous relationship, with arguments over Kate's involvement with The Kills.
Jamie's bandmate, Alison Mosshart, reportedly banned the Croydon-born model from appearing on stage with them, fuelling tensions between the couple.
Although Kate and Jamie always denied the rumours of a forthcoming summer wedding, we have always approved of their seemingly loved-up relationship.
Well, Jamie, 39, was a vast improvement on the mum-of-one Kate's ex, junkie singer Pete Doherty.
And Pete, if you're reading this, just stay away.

Ooh thanks *ana*. Jamie looks gorgeous there.

Oh no! :/

 

[Nouvelle_Vague]

I think the weirdest thing about it is that Kate went and saw High School Musical instead of watching The Kills play. Maybe she went with Lila, but how could you choose HSM over The Kills no matter what the circumstances???

 

[shirleebee]

^Seriously!!!

And look what I just found...from NME:
http://www.nme.com/news/daily-gossip/37913

Alison for Agent Provocateur?!
The incestuous, six-degrees-of-separation cycle (aka "The Kate Moss Effect") continues!

 

[Nouvelle_Vague]

^Haha!!! That cycle never ends.

Maybe she will be great, but I can't really imagine Alison as the face of Agent Provocateur . It doesn't really seem like it would be her style or fit in with her image...

 

[shirleebee]

I agree. Although, I was at their Soho store the other day & the woman at the register had sort of an Alison look (the rockabilly version) going on...

 

[Nouvelle_Vague]

Well The Kills played at the Mighty Boosh festival and there are quite a few videos on youtube. Still only one of their performance at Glastonbury which I find kind of strange. Love how Jamie's wearing Alison's leopard skin cardigan now...

CHEAP AND CHEERFUL

This is a little off topic, but the guitar Alison is playing in Kissy Kissy is a red 1964 Hagstrom 1 and I managed to buy one today, which I'm very excited about. It's identical to hers so I was glad I found one because it's very obscure. Alison may have somewhat greatly influenced the purchase All I need to do now is learn how to play the thing ...

I know this picture has been posted before, but it's the best one of her and the guitar that I have found yet...

Eek!!! I can't wait for it to be shipped to me. I'm so excited!!!

Haha, well, sometimes when you have a child you make decisions you wouldn't otherwise make if you weren't a parent Sooo basing suspicions of a breakup off of that isn't necessarily the best. But I have read that a few places as well. Hope it's not true, I liked them together, oddly enough.

 

[happytrail]

jamie is such a good-looking guy and is way too good for kate moss anyways. um, i've been slow on the gossip lately, but i thought pete and irina lazareanu were still together?

I'm not 100% positive, but I'm pretty sure they split up a while ago. I read somewhere that Irina was too needy, but that's just a rumour of course. It was the second time she had been engaged to him apparently as well.

And just last week Pete posted a love song dedicated to Kate Moss on his youtube account (but it's been deleted now). He was singing a song called Bohemian Love, while some pictures of him and Kate flashed on screen.

 

[shirleebee]

It's weird how relationships can play out so publicly now. It's like WE are swept into these very private affairs by virtue of the "access" given us through vehicles such as youtube. I mean, why would a high profile singer exploit his relationships so relentlessly and publicly? I know Pete is insane and all (and a media wh*re to boot), but these type of incidents underscore the fact that there is so little left to be surprised about these days. No mystery, no intrigue, no discretion at all. Which, ironically, are why the Kills are so fascinating in this day and age. They preserve their enigma status by never allowing us to find out too much about them.

Music & Me: Alison Mosshart of The Kills
By Charlotte Cripps
Friday, 4 July 2008

The first record I bought was?

I don’t honestly remember. There was no place to buy records where I was living, so I used to tape songs off the radio and listen to them on my Walkman.

The first gig I went to was?

A band called Dirty Poodle at a skate park in Melbourne, Florida.The singer was a guy called Scott Becky. He used to paint his fingernails blue and play surfy guitar. His lyrics were surreal, about animals and things catching fire.Once he wrote down his address for me so we could write letters. Next to the address he drew a picture of his house, his car, the fence, a rooster on the front lawn. There was so much information.

My favourite album is?

Ice Cream For Crowby, Captain Beefheart.

But my parents always liked?

I didn’t know what they liked. They never listened to music, but recently I was home digging through some stuff and I found my dad’s record collection. He had a lot of Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd and stuff like that.

I couldn’t marry someone who liked?

Avril Lavigne.

On stage I like to wear?

Jeans and T-shirts, capes with horses and lightning, Indian ponchos, gold boots? whatever I fancy that night.

I’d love to perform with?

Don Van Vliet [aka Captain Beefheart], him just talking and talking down the microphone the way he does, real slow and cool.

One thing that must change in the music industry is?

The music industry itself. There’s very little soul or art left in it. Real artists are seen as a total risk, because they can’t be moulded. I try to keep out of it, mentally and emotionally, as much as I can.

A great album cover is?

Captain Beefheart, Trout Mask Replica. That’s a real dead fish head on Don’s face. He said it had a really terrible smell.

On my iPod I listen most to?

Again, all the Beefheart records because his voice is so sincere and his lyrics are so bizarre. And I’ve been listening to Moondog’s The Viking Of Sixth Avenue just as much for his lack of lyrics. Also, a lot of Townes Van Zandt.

If I could have written any song it would have been?

“Waiting Around To Die” by Townes Van Zandt or “Do You Like Me?” by Fugazi.

The worst song I’ve heard is?

Anything by Paula Abdul or New Kids OnThe Block. This list could easily be endless.

And I know this should probably be over in the rumour thread (it's from The Sunday Mirror which ain't the world's most reliable source after all ), but it was so funny I had to post it...

Kate Moss in 'sexy' row with Kills singer Alison Mosshart at Glastonbury.

It wouldn't be Glastonbury without Kate Moss trying to find a way to get up on stage and perform.

And this year was no exception. Kate was gutted when boyfriend Jamie Hince told her she couldn't sing with his band The Kills, after band mate Alison Mosshart banned her. So Kate did the next best thing and bagged herself a solo slot backstage... live from the PlayStation SingStar karaoke tent. Classy!
Just two hours after watching Jamie perform, Kate was back doing what she does best - hogging the limelight. I'm told she dragged pals including Kelly Osbourne and The Gossip's Beth Ditto to hear her perform Right Said Fred's I'm Too Sexy.
The song was a dig at Alison - who has made it clear she doesn't like Kate taking the limelight from The Kills. And to make sure everyone got the message, my spies tell me cunning Kate kept her gaze fixed on Alison as she sang.

My source revealed: "Kate doesn't do anything by accident and it soon became obvious what she was getting at. She was looking Alison in the eye all the way through.
"By the end no one was in any doubt about what she was trying to say."
Miaow! Kate's not a woman I'd like to cross. But Alison's no pushover either. I can't wait to see what happens next in the battle of Hince's women. Seconds out, girls!
