Thank you very much for coming.

Now the supermodel, Kate Moss, will not be charged over claims that she took cocaine. The Crown Crossive, the Crown Prosecution Service (Sorry) says there was not enough evidence to prosecute. Newspapers ran pictures last year of Ms Moss apparently taking drugs and in a statement the CPS said:

The film footage provides an absolutely clear indication that Ms Moss was using controlled drugs and providing them to others.
However, in the absence of any forensic evidence, or direct eye witness evidence about the substance in question, its precise nature could not be established.

And they added that Ms Moss declined to provide any explanation when she was interviewed and direct eye witnesses also declined to give any evidence. So in the intervening 6 months what has happened to the super model's career, Ross Opton has this slightly surprising answer.

Before she was videoed to the mobile phone allegedly using cocaine, Kate Moss earned just under four and a half million pounds a year from modeling. But when the tabloids ran those blurred photos, word what her future was doomed. She was dropped from the high street fashion store H&M, the cosmetics company Rimmel debated whether to continue her contract. And she lost work with Burberry and Chanel.
Her then-boyfriend singer Pete Doherty stuck up for Kate against the press.
'Ruin life, Ruin life, yuppie.'
But it didn't ruin her life at all, at least not financially. In fact, her notoriety seems to have increased her earning potential.
"Hello."
"Kate, it is Kyle, is this a good time?"
"Yeah, I'm just making some tea."
This advert for a mobile phone company even capitalizes on her losing other contracts.

"I just got you the mother of all contracts."
"Really?"
Kate Moss has, since the beginning of this year, signed lucrative deals with seven companies, including one with the Japanese camera manufacturer Nikon. That alone, said to be worth 1.5 million pounds. No wonder she's still smiling, Current estimates predict her earnings this year will be a whopping 11 million pounds. Now that's a payroll not to be sniffed at.

From heroin, she took cocaine, she could all make some money.
