Kate Moss tipped for US rock group show

Kate Moss has been recruited by Simon Cowell to judge a new US talent show, according to a report.

The supermodel has allegedly signed up to offer her opinions on unsigned rock groups for the programme, which is being billed as a 'battle of the bands' contest.

The TV talent search is expected to be the first project created by Cowell and retail tycoon Sir Phillip Green for their new £1 billion entertainment company.

A source told the Sunday Mirror: "Kate is absolutely cock-a-hoop about her move into TV. She's been looking for a big global project to get her teeth into for some time and the waiting has paid off.

"This show is going to blow every other reality series out of the water. Kate is thrilled to be part of it from the start. She's a huge music fan and everyone knows her knack of picking out new trendy bands. It's one of the few areas outside fashion she feels totally confident to speak her mind."

Moss was first tipped to work alongside Cowell earlier this month. She is believed to be a fan of the music mogul's other TV projects The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent.
