If Kate Moss wants to be the rock star she seems to want to be, it looks like she might have a new way into the business: Pop Idol and The X-Factor’s music mogul Simon Cowell has said he would give her a recording contract whether she can sing or not.

He said recently: “I would like to offer Kate Moss a recording contract, whether she can sing or not.”

“The thing about Kate is that she’s a star - it’s the ‘Kate factor’. People attach themselves to her and instantly become interesting.”

But it’s a good thing Kate’s fiance Pete Doherty already has a contract because Simon added: “There’s no way I would take [Pete] on. I doubt he’d turn up for anything.”
