LONDON: English supermodel Kate Moss’ plea to her boyfriend Jamie Hince to be allowed to sing with his band, The Kills, has once again been turned down, despite her having taken singing lessons. Moss, 35, has been taking the lessons in preparation for a celebrity karaoke event called Hoping’s Got Talent, scheduled to take place

next week at the Cafe de Paris in London’s Leicester Square. People who attend the bash will get the privilege of singing alongside celebrities, and Moss and X Factor’s Louis Walsh will judge them. The model is said to be desperate to show off her new vocal skills, and to perform a duet with Hince. He, however, has been turning down her offer. “Kate is keen on doing more singing; she wants her voice out there. But Jamie is refusing to even entertain the idea, saying bandmate Alison Mosshart will be livid,” the Sun quoted a source as saying. The event is a fundraiser for children’s charity the Hoping Foundation.
