Super model Kate Moss is back in the headlines, this time after a dispute with boyfriend Jamie Hince of the Kills.
The Sun reported that Moss went crazy after she found a creepy blood vial Hince had stashed-away to remember his ex-girlfriend. She also found a parcel containing a bottle of love letters from Sharin Foo – the frontwoman to the Raveonettes.
“He was obsessed with Sharin and kept the vial and letters,” said Jamie, a good friend of Hince’s.
Supermodel Kate Moss is currently promoting her Christmas collection which debuted at Topshop to great public enthusiasm.

America and the rest of the world may be facing a recession but it appears that nobody told US underwear label Victoria’s Secret.
At its show in Miami, 35 supermodels took part in a fabulously opulent extravaganza, with most of them dripping in feathers, lace, sequins and eye-wateringly expensive jewellery.
Heidi Klum wore red underwear joined by a web of diamonds plus sparkling red wings, made to resemble a bow on a present, while Adriana Lima coolly strutted down the catwalk in the Black Diamond Fantasy Miracle Bra – worth $5million.
The bra, designed by Martin Katz, is decorated with white and black diamonds and rubies and will be for sale in the Victoria’s Secret catalogue.
Mr Katz said: ‘You could wear it as an open top because it looks like a finished top.’
Singer Usher kicked off Saturday’s show at the newly renovated Fontainebleau Miami Beach which reopened on the same day.
‘The theme of the show is a return to glamour,’ said company CEO Sharen Turney. ‘Victoria’s Secret is about sexy, and the new sexy is glamorous for this season.’
Two silver palm trees adorned the stage on which models wore a total of 68 outfits based on themes including glamorous goddesses and bold colours with geometric designs influenced from the 1920s.
Some models wore gilded bras with Swarovski crystals attached. There was also a gold sculpted feather body piece that curved around the model’s body. Metal sculpted laurel leaves were also worn around some of the models’ necks.
Wing designer Martin Izquierdo made seven pairs of wings for the show. He said he turned to Greek mythology and butterflies for inspiration.
Celebrities spotted on the pink carpet included Paris Hilton, P Diddy, actor John Stamos, Kim Kardashian and Martha Stewart.

Victoria’s Secret model Karolina Kurkova put her bombshell curves on show during a photo shoot in Miami over the weekend, but it was her peculiar belly button that was attracting all the attention.
The Czech blonde’s unusual navel had onlookers perplexed as she frolicked on the beach over the weekend in a tiny white bikini.
It’s not the first time her almost non-existent belly button has drawn attention.
A source has revealed magazine and catalogue art directors routinely airbrush one in for in post-production.
‘Karolina’s body is amazing, but her belly button is unusual,’ a fashion insider told Page Six magazine.
‘It disappears in photos, so we keep a collection of belly button shots in different positions, and Photoshop them on to her whenever she’s doing a bikini picture.’
Still, if she was at all self-conscious, she didn’t let it show as she posed up on the foreshore.
She was among the 35 Victoria’s Secret models to hit the runway, including Heidi Klum and Orlando Bloom’s current flame, Australian Miranda Kerr.
R&B singer Usher opened the show at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel where the front row was filled with stars including Paris Hilton, John Stamos, Kim Kardashian, Martha Stewart and Klum’s husband, Seal.
Karolina, who has appeared in campaigns for Yves Saint Laurent, Ralph Lauren, Oscar de la Renta, Chanel and Balenciaga, remains one of the most in-demand models.
The following day she was once again strutting her stuff at the lingerie company’s catwalk extravaganza.
Her advocates include photographer Mario Testino, designer Marc Jacobs and Vogue editor Anna Wintour, who dubbed once dubbed her ‘the next supermodel.’
While her popularity shows no sign of slowing down, she hopes to cross over into acting.
She recently filmed a small part in Sienna Miller’s upcoming action move G.I. Joe, which is scheduled for release next year.
