Sometimes I despair about my own country
Has the shine come off the £30m model?

The commercial repercussions are Kate Moss's real worry after photos seeming to show her snort cocaine were plastered across the press.

I'm like, oh my god! A top supermodel has been caught with her rock star boyfriend taking cocaine!:eyes:

What is wrong with this place? If a top supermodel had been offered cocaine and said no thanks I might consider that a newsworthy event, but pointless drivel like this gets newspaper editors in my country so excited! It's pathetic.

3. Not at all
I think our press in the US often mirrors the yellowest parts of yours in the UK.

4. That's not good
Our TV news is pretty good, but I think we must have the worst, most venal newspapers in the world. :(
