It seems strange to me that 60s rock icon Marianne Faithfull would take crap from anyone, much less a coked-up supermodel who barely weighs 100 pounds. Faithfull admits that she “doesn’t give a s–t” about it really, but Marianne still cared enough to mouth off about Kate Moss basically copying everything about her, from the clothes to the rock star boyfriend, to the drugs. Oh, the drugs. You’d think the drugs alone would have been enough to keep the Faithfull-Moss friendship alive, but it didn’t.

Faithfull spoke to The Times, and The Daily Mirror has the quotes. Faithfull said of Moss, “she’s not really my friend, I thought she was, but she’s very clever.” I have a lot of words to describe Kate Moss, but “clever” isn’t one of them. The Daily Mirror has more:

Marianne Faithfull has launched an extraordinary attack on former friend Kate Moss, calling the supermodel a ‘vampire’ who stole her style. The 62-year-old singer says that, although she and Kate were once close, they are no longer on speaking terms.

‘She’s not really my friend. I thought she was, but she’s very clever,’ she said.

Marianne, who famously had a relationship with Mick Jagger in the late 1960s, even accuses the 35-year-old of emulating her choice of men, comparing the Rolling Stone to Kate’s new boyfriend Jamie Hince.

‘Now I see pictures of her with a boy who looks like Mick Jagger, and her looking like me. So there was a reason. It’s one of her gigs to do me,’ she told The Times.

Kate and Marianne, apparently drawn to each other by a shared love of fashion and rock stars, were once a regular night-time fixture in Central London and even holidayed together in the Bahamas. At the time the iconic star said that she and Kate, who is almost thirty years her junior, were kindred spirits.

‘She’s very complex – she’s very like me. She’s a Capricorn. I think she’s great,’ she has said. However the pair’s friendship ‘suddenly soured’ some time later, according to Marianne.

‘You know, it’s OK. I don’t give a s***. But I was quite offended at the time. We were very fond of each other. And then it suddenly soured,’ she added.

‘She’s very clever, but she isn’t at all educated. We don’t have any [common] references. Except music.”

The singer, who is returning to music after taking a long break following treatment for breast cancer, was famously found naked, covered in just a fur rug, during a police drugs raid on Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards’s Sussex mansion in the Sixties.

What’s particularly funny about this story is that for the past few years, Kate Moss and Sienna Miller have allegedly been feuding over the same issue. Moss thought Sienna was stealing her style and her “look”. For the record, Marianne was the original. Kate Moss copied some of Marianne’s look and lifestyle choices, and blended them with other influences. Sienna then copied both Marianne and Kate.

I wonder why Kate and Marianne’s relationship soured? I don’t care if she did go to rehab, I still think Kate’s doing the nose candy. And it probably negatively affects all of her relationships. Especially the one with her daughter.
