Moss gives Doherty royalty rights

Kate Moss has given ex-boyfriend Pete Doherty royalty rights for the four songs she co-wrote for the latest Babyshambles album.

The supermodel - who split from frontman Pete in June after he allegedly cheated on her with a South African model - has writing credits on the tracks on 'Shotters Nation' after the pair worked together during their turbulent romance.

However, multi-millionaire Kate has told Pete he can keep any money he makes from the songs.

A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Kate wants Pete to have the royalties. She was happy to have the writing credits on the album, but it's not about the money for her.

"The music is Pete's thing. There is still a huge place in her heart for him and she is happy to see him doing better. She doesn't want to take money off him. And besides, he needs it more than her."

Kate is currently dating Kills singer Jamie Hince, but friends predict she will rekindle her romance with Pete.

Last week, Pete - who recently completed a six-week stint in rehab for drug addiction - dumped fiancée Irina Lazareanu and told pals he wants Kate back.

In August, it was reported Kate - who has a five-year-old daughter, Lila Grace, from a previous relationship - had rekindled her romance with Pete after the pair spent five nights together at exclusive London hotel Claridge's.

Ashley Olsen 'dating Lance Armstrong'

New York gossip columns are rife with speculation that Ashley Olsen is dating seven-time Tour de France hero Lance Armstrong.

Olsen, 21, caused a sensation when she was spotted at a Manhattan bar cuddling up to the 36-year-old sports star, the New York Post reports.

The starlet spent much of the night on Armstrong's lap and giggled when he whispered in her ear, according to witnesses.

The pair were later seen making out, before leaving the nightspot together at around 2am.

Olsen, who has built a teen film empire with sister Mary-Kate, is estimated by Forbes magazine to be worth over $50 million.

Olsen is 24 years younger than Armstrong's former fiancee, singer Sheryl Crow.

The cycling star's most recent partner, fashion designer Tory Burch, is 40 years old and has six children.

Kate warns friend off Sienna

Kate Moss believes Sienna Miller will break Rhys Ifans' heart.

The supermodel - who had a blazing row with Sienna at a wedding last month when she accused the Factory Girl actress of stealing her style and friends - is said to have warned the 39-year-old Welsh actor, who is her close friend, that Sienna is bad news.

A designer friend of Sienna's told Britain's Daily Express newspaper: "Kate isn't happy. Rhys was her main male friend in her close-knit group. She isn't keen on Sienna. There is definite tension between them.

"Sienna was fuming after Kate gave Rhys a talking to when she heard the relationship was getting serious. Kate doesn't think it will last and doesn't want Rhys getting hurt."

Despite Kate's misgivings, the pair - who have constantly denied they are a couple, despite being pictured frequently together and even seen kissing in public - are said to be so in love they are even considering getting married.

The source continued: "Sienna is probably the happiest I've ever seen her. She and Rhys are perfect together.

Sienna's ex-lover Jude Law - who she dated on/off for three years - has given the relationship his seal of approval.

Last week, it was claimed Rhys had already proposed to Sienna, 25, five times, but the screen beauty had so far spurned his marriage offer.

Contrary types, red top hacks - first they bang on about how shameful Pete Doherty's drug use was then, as soon as he starts looking healthy and normal again after kicking the needle, they find another way to lay in.

This morning, our favourite red top is reporting that Pete's new nickname, derived from the fact that he's put on a healthy amount of weight since his stint in rehab, is "Pillsbury Doughboy".

Odd, really, as we've never heard the new nickname uttered outside of the pages of the rag. Not that we're suggesting that the hacks dreamed it up themselves when they ran out of Amy Winehouse 'stories' to print.

Also, we're reliably informed, Pete's ex Kate Moss sent the singer a basket of muffins, which the Babyshambles man has construed as some kind of jibe.

Either that, or it never happened in the first place and Pete's just kicking back and enjoying being a normal healthy human being again. You never know.
