Supermodel Kate Moss went on a shopping spree in Paris with her friend after her break-up with rocker boyfriend Jamie Hince.
According to thesun.co.uk , Kate looked thin and tired as she met her friend Philip Green at the Ritz hotel in Paris.
Hince is currently in the US with his band The Kills as they both try to cope with the split.
The two had tried breaking up thrice before in the past year. But friends say this time it is for good. The couple have different lifestyles and are having problems adjusting.

When Rachel Hunter was a little girl, The Warehouse was like “a candy store”.
And when her Rachel clothing range starts selling in the red sheds today, a part of her will have come home, she told the Herald at the launch last night.
“It was like being released into a whole new world. There were Tiki Torches, pillows, baskets and lamps,” she said.
“It was about coming back home. I’m 39 now, and I’ve been in the business for 23 years. I’ve always wanted to come back home.”
The former Kiwi supermodel made fun of herself as girls modelled the clothes at a swanky shindig at a loft in College Hill.
“They tried to get me to wear this miniskirt in the photo-shoot but I said, ‘No, I’m too old’,” she said.
And when a model strutted the same black silky number she was wearing, she quipped: “This is also the dress I have on, but she’s a lot skinnier than me.”
Earlier, Hunter’s Kiwi humour was met with roars of laughter when she said: “I like to be really comfortable – women like to feel comfortable at certain times of the month. I’m sorry guys.”
Warehouse chief executive Ian Morris replied: “So do we, after about 10 pints of beer,” before asking the 1.78m-tall model to take her high heels off so he wouldn’t feel so short next to her.
The audience of about 200 included top designer Denise L’Estrange-Corbet, Edge radio station presenters and Hunter’s New Zealand agent, former All Black Andy Haden.
Hunter flew in yesterday morning and out again this morning.

Supermodel Kate Moss may be bummed about her new singleton status, but she’s definitely got something to celebrate. In November of 2009, Paris’ Les Arts Décoratifs will debut an exhibit dedicated to “the Kate Moss myth.” Did you know that Kate Moss does not in fact exist? Fascinating. No really, the museum’s curator-in-chief told reporters at a press conference yesterday that Moss’ modeling agency has kept archives of “absolutely everything she’s done from the very beginning, including archive material from two decades ago.” Or, in other words: yes, the original, super steamy Calvin Klein ads will be included.
Considering the supe is notoriously press-shy and that she’s worked with every top stylist, makeup artist, and photographer under the sun, the exhibition is sure to draw fashion-obsessed fans worldwide. Also on the Parisian museum’s 2009 schedule: a Madeleine Vionnet retrospective, “fashion conferences,” and an exhibition of Art Deco jewelry from the likes of Jean Despr?s.

Defiant supermodel NAOMI CAMPBELL still insists she was provoked into spitting at a police officer at Heathrow Airport in London in April (08) – because she was called a racial slur.
The Brit started serving her community service in London earlier this month (Sep08) after she admitted to spitting at an airport cop, but she insists there would have been no incident if she had been shown more respect.
Campbell tells U.S. news show Extra, “If someone calls me a racial slur, I find it very offensive…After paying all that money and you’re trying to get to a funeral, which is where I was trying to get to, I thought, ‘Well, I think I have the right to be upset right now.’”

If one was to create a self-portrait, you would expect to use a pencil, paintbrush or maybe charcoal to conceive your artwork.
But it appears Kate Moss isn’t your average artist.
During her rocky two year relationship with troubled rocker Pete Doherty, Moss created what is thought to be her artistic debut – a self-portrait in lipstick and blood.
The piece shows Moss, with long flowing hair, smoking a cigarette, with the statement ‘Who needs blood when you’ve got lipstick’ written by Doherty across the top of the page.
The canvas is also inscribed with the words ‘Look at what they have done to the boy’
The creation features Moss’ lip prints and Doherty’s blood stains on the canvas.
Now this rare glimpse of Moss’s creativity is up for sale at London auction house Lyon & Turnbull on Saturday.
The Babyshambles frontman sold the portrait to an anonymous seller, who is putting up for auction.
The canvas comes with a signed receipt by Doherty written on a napkin from private members’ club Soho House.
Auctioneers estimate the piece could sell for up to ?30,000-?40,000.
