Absolutely essential Kate-news…

June 15th, 2006

Kate Moss has swapped The Ivy for a greasy spoon. The supermodel - sporting a black trilby, sexy beige shorts and lace-up boots - grabbed lunch at Troy’s cafe in London’s Kentish Town yesterday. The international fashion icon ordered a large white roll with tuna, mayonnaise and sweetcorn and a full-fat Coke. Owner Conert Dunya admitted he didn’t have a clue who she was and when told she was one of the world’s top models, said: “She’s far too skinny for me.” A few more calorific lunches like that and she’ll be more to Conert’s taste.
Apart from that Kate is considering hiring a bodyguard, after having her mobile phone stolen and her car raided by a gang.
According to the Mail on Sunday, the 32 year-old beauty wants to keep herself and her daughter, Lila, out of harm’s way. The car raid happened when Lila’s nanny, Jade Davis, took her to a ballet class.  After the class, Davis stopped the car on a rural road so that Lila could go to the toilet, but while the two were out of the car, a gang of youths stole the nanny’s handbag and a large sum of money.
A source said, “Kate has realised she is heavily followed, people know where she lives and she knows she needs to up her security. She’s become very paranoid and wants to step up her security arrangements immediately.”
Meanwhile teen queen and budding fashionata, Lindsay Lohan, has said she loves Kate Moss’ style. The young actress and the 31 year old supermodel have become new best friends recently. It is believed that Moss is helping Lohan cope with the pressure of being constantly under the spotlight. The pair have also bonded over their love of fashion . The 20 year old told the Daily Record: “I admire her fashion sense. We’ve swapped fashion ideas. We actually played dress up once and just did girl stuff. I asked her a lot of things, mostly about comfort things.”
