Sharon Stone Supports Kate Moss  10/5/05

Troubled supermodel Kate Moss has found a little unlikely support from Sharon Stone as she battles her drug demons in an Arizona rehab.

Moss has lost major modeling contracts and has been vilified in the press after images of her cutting up lines of cocaine appeared in the British tabloids last month (SEP05).

But, while many celebrities are keen to berate the single mother for her actions, Basic Instinct star Stone has jumped to defend the British beauty, blasting companies like Burberry and Hennes and Mauritz, who are ending their contracts with the model after the alleged drug scandal.

Speaking at a press conference this morning (04OCT05), during which Stone was confirmed as the new face of Dior, the actress said, "I understand that she has apologized and is changing her life. And I think that that is the most important thing that's happened.

"I think that we have to be aware that people are allowed to make mistakes in their life... Whether or not a (fashion) house stands with her or not through it says more about the house than it does about her."
