While I would love to believe that Kate Moss’ reported weight gain might forever alter the insane beauty standards to which we all (or at least a few of us) hold ourselves, I’m not quite that delusional. Yet. It is a nice thought, however, and Caitlin Moran wrote an interesting, highly tongue-in-cheek article on the topic for the Times Online in which she stated, among other things, the following:

At the launch of the New York Topshop last week, Moss was smoky-eyed and serene in a clingy, floor-length, emerald green dress, in which you could see a distinct curve to her tum. Not a concave curve, you understand - as seen on skinny Russian teenage models - but a convex one. As if in acknowledgement that a woman’s lower torso has to hold liver, kidneys, pancreas, spleen and a tennis court full of intestines, and clearly cannot do this in something that measures 20ins around.

And yet, despite Moss having the temerity to have a waistline big enough to fit all her innards in, everyone behaved perfectly normally around her. Indeed, not only was she not thrown down a well - but she was allowed in a fashion shop! While people photographed her! As a representative! And acted like it was all OK! In a world where Jessica Simpson’s 1stone weight gain makes CNN, the former EastEnders actress Natalie Cassidy is being hounded into total dysmorphia for hitting a size 14, supermodel Kate Moss’s round belly is like Rosa Parkes, finally digging in her heels and sitting up the front of the bus.

So Kate Moss is aging just like the rest of us and she has developed a spare tire just like the rest of us, which must mean that she is human…just like the rest of us. Hip hip hooray. I think I’ll go eat a pint of ice cream. Oh and by the way, it seems the cookbook rumours were false but more on that later.

Kate Moss has decided to share her diet secrets with the world and is planning to publish her own cookbook. I’m not entirely sure what, if anything, the super-waif knows about how to nourish herself but I suppose I should reserve judgment until after reading the book.

The supermodel-turned-fashion-designer is keen to add another string to her bow, and has reportedly been inspired by cooking up a storm for boyfriend Jamie Hince.

A source told the Daily Mirror: ‘She’s buzzing about the idea of being the first supermodel to release a cookbook.’

The idea for the book is said to have come about after the model read a simple guide to cooking traditional Jewish meals – written by Topshop boss, Sir Philip Green’s stepdaughter, Stasha Palos.

The savvy stylista is said to have been whipping up a variety of delicious dishes from chicken noodle soup to honey cakes.

The source revealed: ‘Kate recently cooked Jamie a Jewish meal following kosher techniques from Stasha.

She can talk about it all she wants but I want to see the fruits of Kate’s labor. Of course, the entire book will most likely be ghost-written but hey, it’s a good thing she’s eating, right?

Kate Moss has been nasty and she deserves punishment. This must be the phrase running through the supermodel’s head like a skipping record. Kate’s been on a bad-behavior rampage lately and so what did she do? She went and got herself pierced like a sixteen-year old girl breaking curfew.

The 35-year-old emerged from an East London tattoo parlour with two more rings than when she went in.

The trend-setter looked rather pleased with her new accessories, despite her ear being a painful-looking shade of red.

Kate is rumoured to be gearing up for a trip to the U.S in the coming days to help Sir Philip Green open a flagship Topshop store.

The company will open its doors for the first time in New York’s SoHo district., which will of course carry the Kate’s coveted fashion line. [Source]

Kate looks happy with the results so let’s hope she stops here and doesn’t up the ante with a delightful septum ring.

Oh, Kate Moss, what the heck is happening to you? You were once the picture of class and clean beauty and now you’re wandering around London half-naked and drunk with a belly that might hold a baby but is more likely just the result of a few too many pints. The latest news from the other side of the pond, has Kate throwing a hissy fit over having to wait in line for the bathroom.

The supermodel lost it when she was forced to queue for the loos at London hotspot Volstead and ended up arguing with staff.

A source said: “She barged into the ladies and when she realised there were no cubicles free she starting kicking one of the doors, shouting: ‘Hurry up or I’ll kick the f***ing door down.’

“The female toilet attendant told her to calm down and offered her some tissue paper to use when it was her turn, but Kate threw it back at her, saying, ‘I don’t want any of your skanky toilet roll’.” [Source]

That poor bathroom attendant was just trying to be nice and in return she got yelled at by a fading drunken waif. Because handing out TP for minimum wage isn’t degrading enough.

Kate Moss is “totally into” looking after her health (again!), and hence she is taking vitamins.
The British supermodel, believed to be expecting a child with her boyfriend, The Kills rocker Jamie Hince - is determined to take care of her body this year.She said:

“I plan to totally get into looking after myself, taking the right vitamins and all the stuff you read about.”

The 34-year-old star even plans to quit smoking, although she admits she expects to find it hard to kick the habit. She added to Britain’s New! magazine:

“I love to smoke. I know it’s bad, but it’s one of my life pleasures. I will be getting for good. I know I have to look after myself.”

Kate recently dismissed rumours she is pregnant, insisting she has gained weight which makes her breasts look bigger than usual. She said:

“I am a woman now. It’s true. Honestly, I’ve never worn a bra in my life. Ever! It’s so awful, even my friends are phoning me up and saying, ‘Are you pregnant?’”And I’m like, ‘No! I just put on a couple of pounds and they went in the right place.’ Isn’t that weird?”

First come the pictures, then come the rumors, then comes the star in denial. According to Kate Moss, she isn’t with child, nor has she developed a taste for Budweiser tall boys–she’s just a late bloomer! Moss continues to deny pregnancy rumors and is insisting that the mystery bump is merely an indication that her woman-flower has FINALLY blossomed! Welcome to the club, Kate!

Apparently, the belly is some sort of weird new curve she’s sprouted on her famously stick-straight little body. And here I thought pubescent girls just grew boobs. Well, it appears she’s gone and done that too, poor thing. She sounded pretty miserable about the whole ordeal in a recent New York Magazine interview:

“I am a woman now,” Moss told New York Magazine. “It’s true. Honestly, I’ve never worn a bra in my life. Ever! It’s so awful, even my friends are phoning me up and saying, ‘Are you pregnant?”

Kate Moss showed off really weird legs as she went shopping in a pair of denim shorts. Even though she’s really skinny, she has what appears to be some cellulite (or maybe it’s just saggy skin?) on her legs… Either way, she looking rather different than in those airbrushed ads she appears in.

When going out, Kate should probably stick to wearing the leggings she likes so much (because they make her legs appear longer).

“I’d love to have longer legs,” Kate said when referring to the perfect body’s part she always dreams of. Explaining on the effort she has done to make her dream body comes true, she revealed, “So that’s why I own lots of leggings, because they make my legs look longer.” [Source]

Here’s Kate Moss (together with fashion designer Stella McCartney) arriving at the “Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy” Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday night (May 5th). I love her dress, it makes her look like a Greek goddess!
