Kate Moss checks into Phoenix rehab

PHOENIX, Sept. 29 (UPI) -- Supermodel Kate Moss has reportedly checked into a Phoenix celebrity treatment center amid cocaine abuse allegations, it was reported Thursday.

Moss, 31, is spending a month at the $4,000-a-night Meadows Clinic for "medical treatment and therapy," friends told the Times of London.

A London police investigation has been launched into Moss' alleged drug activities, the newspaper said.

The Daily Mirror set off the firestorm when it published photos of Moss putting down lines and snorting cocaine in a London studio where guitarist/boyfriend Pete Doherty was laying down tracks. She had previously charged the tabloid with libel for claiming she had a coke problem.

Last week, Moss issued a statement apologizing for her "actions" and said she knew she had "personal issues" she needed to address.

Moss has reportedly broken up Doherty, a heroin addict in frequent clashes with the law, the Times said.

Moss has lost several modeling contracts as a result of the drug scandal.

The movie in question is "Phat Tuesday," about five women who go to New Orleans for Mardi Gras, have lots of sex with men and each other and attend a concert by Lil Jon and the East Side Boys, MTV.com reported.

The lawsuit filed Monday says Larry Flynt Productions, which owns Hustler magazine, obtained the concert and backstage footage from another company that shot it, MTV said.

Neither Lil Jon nor his record label, TVT Records, gave permission for the footage to be used or knew about it until the DVD was released, the suit said.

In addition, the front of the DVD has a photo of the rapper with the words: "Featuring Lil Jon, King of Crunk."

The suit claims, among other things, breach of contract, false advertising, infringement of right to publicity and appropriation of name and likeness.
