In case you ever had any doubt that Kate had made a recovery from her cocaine scandal last year, we can now officially say she is beyond that saga. She is the face of a record number of ads, the most influential celeb in the world, and now has been named Model of the Year. We love a good comeback, but not everyone is thrilled that Kate was crowned with this title. Kate really is never free from controversy. Here's more:
"I think it's a bad reflection on the world of fashion," said Jane Ennis, editor of celebrity magazine Now. "The fact that she has become an even bigger icon since getting into all this trouble is fantastically decadent. Sometimes commercial interests should be set aside to look at the wider picture."
George Ruston, director of Hope UK, a drug education charity in Britain, called the award "unhelpful" and said advertisers were as much to blame as Moss. But he added that for every young person who looks up to Moss as a role model, many do not, and the problems of alcohol, tobacco and cannabis abuse are worse than that of cocaine.
We are so thrilled Kate was named model of the year - her comeback is fabulous! Congrats to Kate!

I agree w/ both those folks...she should not be rewarded for anything...she is a horrible role model & a horrible mother
1this is not surprising since she is in EVERY f*cking magazine on EVERY other f*cking page....
Did anyother model even work this year?????
2She is a great role model....get caught taking drugs and your career will sky rocket....
3she is a homely coke-head. never found her to be attractive. i don't get it.
4So I guess all young girls should be so lucky dream one day of being an uber skinny cocaine adled never want to act like an adult bimbo who aspires to marry a drug adled loser rocker... wow great message for the youth of today.
5Ditto to what Jane Ennis said. This is a horrible message. And she is just all over every mag. Sad
6I got flagged.. basically this is a horrible message to send out into the world.
7Mr Ruston needs to get his finger a little closer to the pulse...not all young girls look up to her...
8I agree with everyone....this is a horrible message and she is just not an attractive women.
9It would be one thing if she well and truly beat the addiction and chose to speak out against drugs, etc. That would be a real comeback.
Instead, she's moving in the same circles, partying just as much and ITA horrible message.
10AND she is marrying of the biggest crackheads on the planet....
11Exactly! **shakes head smiley**
12She's always got that same stupid look on her face, like, 'hey, like dude..is my brain intact right now cause I like can't make any expressions, mmmmm whatcha got there buddy? souped up coke, oh you bet let's rock'
13Jennifer you raise a really good point she never once publicly condemned what she did
14Boo

That photo for Rimmel has the potential to scare small children.
16she has the same flippin facial expression in every picture...what's so great about her?
17Never noticed...your right say dopey expression
18Wow, I could name many other models who deserved this title. Oh well, crack-head won.
19I agree its like Let's Reward the Junkies!
20Boogie, publicly admitting something of such a nature would imply remorse on her part for the actions in which she so haplessly engaged, a genuine apology, and a heartfelt promise to never again partake in the offending activities.
And we all know that Kate Moss sober is about as ridiculous a concept as having a penis where one's nose should be.
21LOL! Crack is whack! I guess whack is cool in the fashion world!
22I am going Winter coat and boot shopping as it is getting VERY cold in London...wish me luck my long arms never fit and I don't want to pay for a designer coat.
23Toronado...you are SOOOOOO right...I can not believe I was so naive
24What a shame for her to be rewarded for her actions.
25I thought drugs were supposed to ruin your life not make it better. I need some coke
26There there, Boogie. The desire to one day see her as the picture of sobriet...
Oh wait, that's right. I don't give a fuçk.
Moving right along...!
27Shame on whoever voted her as model of the year! GREAT role model for people.
28i know her drug is bad, it's an awful message to send, but i still love her, can't help it!
29I think the Rimmel ad is the most nightmare inducing...
30whatever, i still love kate moss. i think she's soooo pretty!!! plus i like that even she won't buy into tapered pants. i just hope pete cleans up so she can get married!
31BOO!
32Kate Moss is a disgrace. And it's true, her range of poses and facial expressions is very limited for such a high profile model. But I give most young girls credit...I'm positive that any smart girl will realize that Kate Moss and her dangerous lifestyle are not worth emulating.
33Seriously over-rated, this chick.
34LOL Tor! I never realized that all her expressions are the same. Maybe she is phyically incapeable of closing her lips over those horse teeth
35She is the worst role model ever. Ugh.
36I love Kate. She is gorgeous. As for the cocaine scandal, her personal life is none of our business. Besides, who is so naive to believe that almost all models do not use at least one narcotic or another?
37When her personal choices are made in public, it becomes public business.
38Who are the idi0ts that voter her all this stuff

The same one's that hire the anorexic models I assume.
40Not only that....she is a PARENT. Yes, it is our business if she is a crackhead.
41Don't get me wrong, I love gossip just as much as the rest of you, but doesn't it seem odd that everyone is so upset over the actions of a woman who most of us will never meet, let alone personally know. More than likely, the whole episode was a media
42manipulation constructed to get Kate free publicity. We really should be focusing our energy on more important global issues, but it is entertaining.
I absolutely cannot stand Kate Moss. While I have to admit that she is a good model, I think she is a horrible role model. What's worse is that she has a child and lives this absolutely reckless life style and is rewarded for it. I just find her absolutely disgusting. Most British seem to absolutely adore her as well as the Irish (I live in Ireland) and I find that terribly annoying. What is the big deal? Arrgh!!!
43I am so bored of turning every page of every fashion magazine and staring at her. Yes, she's beautiful, but it has gotten to the point where I no longer see what she's advertising and just see her (ho hum) and turn the page. I don't think she holds that much attraction for women in terms of advertising anymomre.
44i dont think anyone cares of your bored of seeing her face. its her face that all the top desighners want. modeling has nothing to do with being a role model, modeling is being good at modeling and as far as kate is concerned she is THE BEST model out there. shes been doing this longer than 3/4 of the models out there. why is no one making sense, EVERY OTHER CELEB out there takes drugs, from lindsay lohanto nicole ritchie, they just havent been caught yet. so please get over this stupid cocaine story, shes an amazing model, she does amazing ads, therefore she gets model of the year, makes sense to me. (and to ALL the people that choose her as model of the year)
45Dana, not everyone has to agree with you.
46I love Nicole Richie but I like her a little less when I see her with Paris
47Oops, wrong thread
48go Kate..american made
