Kate Moss to Spill Fashion, (Alleged) Cocaine Secrets in Autobiography

According to reports, supermodel Kate Moss is close to signing a £1 million book deal (about $1.8 million) with Virgin Book Groups for her autobiography. Virgin head Sir Richard Branson has convinced Moss, who entered rehab after photos of her appearing to snort cocaine appeared in a British newspaper, to write her story.

A spokesperson for Branson said, "Richard and Kate have agreed to bring out her autobiography. It's a chance for her to put across her side of the story." The book, which is expected to detail the model's supposed drug use and experiences in the fashion industry, will likely be finished in September 2006, reports Britain's Daily Mirror.

Police in London, however, do not want to wait for the book's release to get the skinny on Moss's alleged use of illegal substances. Lawyers for Moss have been in talks with the London PD, and Moss, who has been living in the United States, will soon return to the U.K. to talk to officials about the matter.

The Washington Post quotes Moss's spokesman, Stuart Higgins, as saying, "Kate has made it absolutely clear all along that she will cooperate with any police investigation when the necessary arrangements can be made."
