Gathering Moss.
‘WITH Kate Moss in an American clinic and Sadie Frost at a meeting for Alcoholics Anonymous, the fabled Primrose Hill clique of rich British celebrities is looking a bit thin on members.
But Moss is not yet yesterdays news. And there she is as usual on the front page of the Sun, a picture of her even features and clear complexion appearing beside the headline: KATE TO BE ARRESTED.
The Sun says that as soon as Moss touches a perfect toe back on British soil, police will swoop and arrest her on suspicion of supplying cocaine. She will be taken to a police station and formerly arrested.
Its an order thats come from the highest ranks at Scotland Yard. As a source explains: This is being dealt with very seriously due to her position in public life. We dont want her use of this deadly drug to glamorise it.
Quite so. And we congratulate the police for taking as much interests in the affairs of an A-list model as they would should your home be burgled or a black teenager murdered on a South London street.
But while this is justice, we take no pleasure in the fall of Moss. Just as we read with a heavy heart the news that Mosss mucker, the aforesaid Frost, has been going to meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous.
Why shes doing this would seem obvious, but an insider is keen to tell us its not what you think. She hasnt got a serious drink problem, says this source. Oh? But after what shes seen her best friend go through in recent weeks she thought it would be a good idea to try and gain an understanding of what happens when you drink to excess.
Someone should tell Frost its cocaine not drink thats causing Moss grief. And that if shes interested in investigating the harmful effects of too much booze, she could drink to excess in the privacy of her own home. Or visit any town centre at pub closing time on a Saturday night and take notes and, perhaps, a video.
But with Moss out of the picture, and Frost in AA for research purposes, we cast around to see who if anyone can form part of the depleted set, the keep the Moss Posse at large.
And over in the Mirror we have our first wannabe member. Hes Australian rocker Daniel Johns, and hes just been chucked out of Londons Boujis nightclub for excitedly jumping around on the dance floor.
In his defence we must state that behaving in such a fashion may well constitute dancing where Johns hails from. But this was London, and rightly he had to go.
As so did his wife, the young Carol Vorderman look-alike, singer Natalie Imbruglia. Shed been quaffing champagne with her man and some pals and, like Johns, was dancing like a mal-coordinated Masai tribesman.
That put a dampner of their evening. But they must not fret – such excess surely marks them out as potential new recruits to the Moss Posse.
Now, if they can just both sleep with Moss…’
