Kate Moss is reportedly considering a career in music. The supermodel has told friends she is planning to branch out into music after her boyfriend, The Kills guitarist Jamie Hince, gave her a 26,000 Steinway piano for her 35th birthday on Jan 16.

Kate - who once provided vocals for ex-boyfriend Pete Doherty's band Babyshambles - has hinted she will collaborate with Jamie.

A source said: "Kate can't play a single note on the piano but Jamie has promised her that he will teach her to play and they'll form a duo together. She has mentioned wanting to name it The Mossys for a laugh. "It will be completely different music to his Kills stuff - something much more romantic and ballad-based. It's all just a fun experiment at this stage."

Jamie also bought Kate a specially-made ring and two works by Parisian graffiti artist Andre, worth more than 30,000. Andre will fly to the UK to spray Kate's name and an abstract portrait of her on the walls of her north London home.

Topshop chief Sir Philip Green also surprised the model on her birthday, paying for five suites at London's exclusive Dorchester Hotel for the model and her friends. He asked staff to fill the rooms with flowers, champagne and expensive snacks.

Stella McCartney, Sadie Frost, Meg Matthews and Davinia Taylor joined Kate for dinner in a private room at the hotel's China Tang restaurant before the party relocated to the model's home for a Medieval-themed banquet.
