Celebrity autobiographies are all the rage – and most of them are full of bland, sanitised drivel about nothing. So it’ll be interesting to see how the autobiography of Kate Moss turns out.
Kate Moss has reportedly agreed terms to a £1 million publishing deal with her chum Richard Branson to pen a book about her life – specifically last year’s Cocaine And Pete Doherty Adventure. Rumours that the book is to be called Stood Around, Took Some Drugs, Stood Around Some More are entirely unfounded.
For someone so incredibly ubiquitous, we don’t really know too much
about Kate Moss (Books). We know that she looks OK standing around in nice
clothes and getting paid for it, and we also know – thanks to her guest
spot on Primal Scream‘s One Velvet Morning – that she can’t really
sing.
But Kate Moss has never really given any indication as to how well
she can write. Not that it will stop her from writing her
autobiography for Richard Branson. Will Whitehorn, a right-hand man
Branson, told Reuters:
"Virgin Books will be publishing an autobiography. But it is relatively early days. We still need
to proceed to a final contract."
It’s
thought that Kate will use the autobiography as an opportunity to put
across her version of events about last year’s drug scandal, something
which she’s actually yet to do to the police, who are awaiting her
return to the UK.
Maybe Kate Moss has been hiding her staggering literary talent away
all these years. In which case, we’re very much looking forward to
reading the chapters that detail Kate’s pretend lesbian pole-dance with Lindsay Lohan, or the time when Kate gave her boyfriend a bunch of her hair as a gift, or… no, actually they’re the only parts we’re looking forward to.
Of course, there’s also the chance that Kate Moss isn’t that
brilliant at writing, and the autobiography will just be a big green
felt-tip drawn scrawl of a castle with "this iz mi howse and i am a
prinsess ps pete iz a tit," written next to it.
