Kate Moss and Lily Allen share a JOINT while on holiday in St Tropez….

SMOKE THEM IF YA GOT’ EM!!

Despite their efforts to convince the public that they have cleaned up their act, Kate Moss and Lily Allen are clearly no stranger to false promises. While on holiday in St Tropez Lily, 24, and Kate, 35, were pictured sunbathing and sharing a rolled up cigarette that looked like a cannabis joint. The pair were seen lighting up on the yacht as they holidayed in the ritzy south of France last week. Singer Lily could be seen passing the ‘joint’ to model Kate as she lay down on the deck.

The model’s behavior has been branded ‘pathetic’ and her parenting skills questioned after apparently smoking a cannabis joint next to her six-year-old daughter. Moss, who was branded ‘Cocaine Kate’ in 2005 after video footage emerged of her appearing to snort the drug, has provoked a furious reaction from a senior Tory MP Ann Widdecombe.

Commenting on the photographs she said: “Kate Moss is setting an appalling example, especially to her daughter but also to her fans. ‘There have been so many allegations of drug use against her that I just can’t understand why she is not prosecuted. It’s pathetic. Celebrities just seem to get away with anything. She knows she has a responsibility yet the message she is sending out is outrageous.’

It was four years ago that video footage emerged of Moss apparently snorting cocaine, although a legal loophole meant the authorities decided not to prosecute. The Crown Prosecution Service admitted they could not prove what the substance in the pictures were despite Moss issuing a statement days later apologizing and admitting ‘full responsibility’ for her actions. She was dumped from a number of lucrative contracts by firms who disapproved of her lifestyle. However she has since been offered a host of new deals and is now said to be worth £40million. She has also gone public with her support for a children’s charity called War Child. However, she has now been criticized by a leading children’s charity.

Dr Michelle Elliott, the founder and director of Kidscape and a child psychologist called Moss ‘childish and selfish’ and said she had a duty to her young fans to behave. ‘Why can’t she just grow up?” she said. “I mean, just what sort of role model does she think she is, not just to her daughter but the millions of teenage girls who idolise her? ‘It just shows how selfish and irresponsible she really is. I mean, her first priority should be her daughter, but the example she sets is always followed by impressionable youngsters. It’s disappointing.

‘I believe she feels that she is beyond the law. The message she is sending out is that this is how you behave it you want to be skinny, successful and famous.’ A spokesman for the model said last night: ‘Kate is on holiday and regards this as private.’

The damage done by Kate’s party lifestyle could clearly be seen as the 35-year-old model revealed a deeply lined forehead, crows feet, freckles and blemishes as she sunbathed on a yacht off the French resort with her daughter Lila Grace nearby. The sunbathing, cigarettes and champagne seem to have finally taken their toll on the once super model who looked every one of her 35 years.

And unfortunately for the girl who put Croydon on the map, she looked uncannily like EastEnders actress Gillian Taylforth, who at 53 is 18 years older than the model. It is not the first time Kate has been unfavorably compared to fictional east London favorite Kathy Mitchell. The model’s chain-smoking, tousled dyed-blonde hairstyle, and permanent drink-in-hand stance is remarkably similar to Gillian’s portrayal of the put-upon wife of Phil Mitchell.

Years of partying, sunbathing and being on the skinny side have finally taken their toll on Kate’s face. But although she was said to have started scrutinising her eye bags and crows feet three years ago, Kate seems reluctant to give up her A-list lifestyle. She has been living the champagne lifestyle all week as she holidayed in St Tropez.

The blonde model, who originally hailed from Croydon, is cruising around the French Riviera on a yacht called Serenity and been spotted drinking tumblers full of alcohol. And except for the moments she has been cooling off in the water and diving off the back of the boat, a pack of cigarettes has never been far from her hand. She was with a group of friends including Lily, Yves Saint Laurent designer Stefano Pilati, boyfriend Jamie Hince, guitarist for The Kills, and daughter Lila Grace, six.
