Kate Moss to Sign $80 Million Deal with Simon Cowell

Kate Moss is set to become the world's richest model thanks to a lucrative new deal she's about to ink with British mogul Sir Philip Green, shown with Kate above, and TV producer extraordinaire Simon Cowell. The 35-year-old supermodel is joining forces with the two men on a new $1.6 billion global multi-faceted entertainment company. Green owns the Topshop brand which Moss recently collaborated with for a new collection. Moss will direct the style and image of the as-yet-unnamed empire, as well as give fashion-related branding advice, under the terms of the deal which could net her up to $80 million based on profit-sharing arrangements, the London Daily Mail reports. The sum would double Moss' fortune giving her a net worth of about $160 million, the paper notes. In essence the plan is to merchandise the hell out of Cowell's hit TV shows both here and abroad. The prospect of Moss getting involved in the music side of the business has also been floated.

There is no such thing as a 35 year old super model.

Simon was made an offer he couldn't refuse.

Remember the photo of Simon and Green in a restaurant?

I hope Simon has a way out .

Okay, Kate is beyond age on the supermodel issue--she simply is and will always be a supermodel. Now why that dress shows such a prominent bulge around the middle, I do not know. I do wonder what she knows about branding and marketing though--these are very specific sets of knowledge.

Kate looks great in the Longchamp photos. The photographer who did that shoot should have taken the photo of Kate and Sir Philip Green, because the photo above shows a very distracting tummy bulge, especially unflattering for a "super model".

is she pregnant?

Kate Moss was allegedly caught snorting heroin; she looks like hell. What does she have on these old dolts to've struck such a deal? LMAO.

I agree with Anna. And Kate Moss looks like she has a jelly belly in that picture!

Kate Moss is not extraordinarily beautiful and has the appearance of being hooked on drugs.

Regarding the dress ??? It looks like it came off of a curtin rod !

It is clear that she took Simon Crowell and Sir Philip Green for 80 Million Dollars...

There are literally millions of women in the U.S. that are much more beautiful than her.

And Sir Philip Green needs a tailor - the pants are soooo long!

Kathy Jul 15th 2009 5:40AM

Out of shape and very unflattering picture, looks like an over the hill former top model. Not only the stomach, hips, but that hairstyle and ear exposure, not a picture of a star. However, it truly doesn't matter if she's making the bucks to keep working on something she may enjoy! Simon Cowell certainly knows how to keep making those bucks, very collaborative. Sir Green seems like the Cheshire cat that caught the mice! Old coot with young super model, what a treat!!!

Christine Jul 15th 2009 8:52AM

To all of you out there that have nothing better to do then to put others down to make yourselves feel better,( GET A LIFE DO SOMETHING POSSITIVE) sounds like your all jealous of her. Im sure you all have your own secrets in your closets try worrying about your own issues. ps must be nice to be so perfect I want to be just like you all. Where did you moms go wrong?

just me Jul 15th 2009 12:44PM

Hey, I'm not knocking her. She photographs beautifully, for ads. This shot just doesn't do her justice. And if she's 5' 3", he must be hardly five feet.

Janeyre Jul 19th 2009 4:34PM

I sure hope she is pregnant. Her figure is awful, if not...

Courtney Jul 19th 2009 7:38PM

Seriously there is something wrong with all of you! Kate Moss is stunning and has a different type of look than girl-next-door models. Aside from that, please take a moment to realize the ridiculously awkward camera angle this picture was taken from. Obviously, it is a candid shot and even the best bodies can look bad at angles as odd as this. You guys have no life for sitting here and dissecting such successful and glamorous people. The saying "nobody is perfect" exists for a reason. Kate and Sir Phillip Green and rich and fabulous. Criticize them once you figure out how to thrive and become more famous than either one of them.

SIMON COWELL BEST TAKE A PORTION OF THAT MONEY TO MAKE SURE PAULA ABDUL STAYS ON AMERICAN IDOL..THE SHOW WOULD LOSE PART OF ITS SOUL WITHOUT HER ....SHE ADDS A TOUCH OF WARMTH AND HEART TO THE SHOW, SOMETHING MANY WANNA BEES LOOK FOR WHEN THEY ARE SCARED OUT OF THEIR WITS...I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE HE WOULD JEOPARDIZE LOSING HER OVER MONEY...SHAME ON HIM.....

I have NEVER understood the super model status of this woman. I find her very unattractive. She looks like a troll or any other normal blonde woman out there. She has been VERY lucky to rise to the status she has. It is beyond me how.
