Stars Powder Their Noses

Coke boogers are the new skinny jeans:

Fig. 1: Nicole Richie

Fig. 2: Kate Moss

Which is pretty apropos since, well, you have to fit into said skinny jeans somehow.

The Nicole shot looks poorly Photoshopped, to be sure, but after the whole Lindsay Lohan vadge/no vadge Pantygate debacle from the other week, we're willing to believe almost anything. Especially since Nicole was photographed leaving a Los Angeles recovery clinic, the same night and same time a crystal meth recovery support group was letting out. Interesting!

The picture of Kate Moss was taken last Tuesday night at her benumbed paramour Pete Doherty's first post-rehab Babyshambles gig. Perhaps Kate graciously decided to snarf enough powder for two, or perhaps she learned that a sober Pete is a less Byronically exciting Pete, and had to look to illicit substances to deal with his dull new 12-step persona. But we prefer the various sundry explanations given by the Sun, which ran the photos:

And last night fans were asking what the odd-looking substance could be ó with some suggesting talc, others toothpaste, and some even ZIT CREAM, after The Sun revealed blonde Kateís crop of spots yesterday.

Of course, thereís no suggestion that Kate, who went into rehab after being filmed hoovering up cocaine, took drugs at the gig.

Ah yes, while we enjoy the idea of Kate suffering from either cystic acne or diaper rash of the nasal passages, there's nothing quite like the minty fresh feeling one gets after coating the insides of one's nostrils in Aqua Fresh. It's like a crisp, alpine morning in each breath.

Nicole's there, too.
