Kate gets over Pete - with Ron - July 26 2007
Kate Moss has called "time out" on her relationship with Pete Doherty - and is apparently holing up with another rock’n’roller to get over him.
It seems Kate has been staying at her friend Ronnie Wood’s mansion in Surrey for a bit of "quiet time", although Ronnie’s more famed for his hard drinking behaviour.
A friend of the supermodel’s told the Daily Mirror: "Ronnie and Kate have a history of hellraising together so it’s unusual that they are having a quiet time together."
The Rolling Stone is a recovering alcoholic, but legendarily once drank eight pints of Guinness and two bottles of vodka a day.
The friend told the paper: "Kate is washing her hair of Pete, and Ronnie and his wife Jo have been taking her mind off things. He’s on the wagon and is great for her."
Kate is apparently staying at 60-year-old Ron’s house in Kingston, Surrey, until her new £7.2 million home in St John’s Wood, North London, is ready.
Kate ’makes clean break from Pete’ - July 19 2007
She’s reportedly already thrown him out of her house, got rid of his belongings and changed the locks, but Kate Moss is apparently going to enormous lengths to cut rocker ex Pete Doherty out of her life.
Now she has gone the extra mile by changing both her mobile and landline numbers to keep him at arm’s length, insider reports claim.
A source close to the 33-year-old supermodel told the Daily Mirror: "Pete was still phoning up last weekend and in the end it was too much even for Kate.
"She thought she had made things clear - he should never get in touch with her again, under any circumstances.
"But he failed to get the message so she’s taken drastic action. It’s a pain for her but she’s more adamant than ever about making a clean break."
Kate and Pete’s relationship came to an end last month when the 28-year-old Babyshambles frontman reportedly cheated on the model with South African model Lindi Hingston, 29.
Kate was apparently so devastated by the split that she pulled out of a fashion show in Paris to celebrate 60 years of Dior.
Kate burns love poems? - 12 July 2020
Kate Moss has reportedly burnt a stash of love letters and poems that were given to her by her ex-boyfriend Pete Doherty.
The model, who split with the Babyshambles rocker earlier this month, is apparently spending time with her pal celebrity hairdresser James Brown, says The Sun.
The mum-of-one is now trying to get over the break-up and has had a ceremonial burning session - including sending the lyrics to Libertines track What Katie Did, up in flames.
A friend said: "Kate gathered quite a collection of Pete’s ramblings over the two years.
"He used the lyrics from his song What Katie Did -- which was written about a totally different Kate -- to pull her in the first place.
"It continued throughout the relationship. She has piles of love letters, poems, songs and paintings.
"Now Kate has decided to cleanse herself of him by burning the lot.
"It all stinks a bit of a high school break-up."

After a series of shoots for teenage magazines, it was Harper’s Bazaar that finally launched her into the international arena. In 1992, she became the Face of Calvin Klein. Moss originally spearheaded the controversial "waif" look which critics claimed encouraged anorexia in impressionable teenagers. The girl from Croydon, who once said she "might’ve been a bank manager" now divides her time between London and LA, where she is often seen at The Viper Rooms, the controversial club owned by her one-time actor boyfriend Johnny Depp.
She has appeared in several notable documentaries about the fashion world and in 1995, released a hard-back book of pictures entitled simply "Kate". Having checked into London’s £300-a-day Priory Clinic in November 1998 suffering from exhaustion, Kate emerged refreshed the following January to announce that she had spent the last decade modelling "drunk". She told The Face magazine, "That’s what you do. You always have champagne before the shows. Always. Even at ten in the morning. It got to the point one time when we were [saying], ’We’re not going out without any champagne’."
Losing the Calvin Klein contract to fellow Brit Lisa Ratliffe in 1999, Kate has now taken on the status of fashion icon. In the May 2000 issue of Vogue, she played muse to a variety of the most cutting edge artists and photographers. In London she is still represented by Storm. Written in 2000
