Embarrassed Moss loses Christmas present

Supermodel Kate Moss was left red-faced over the holidays when she reportedly misplaced a ring - three hours after her rocker boyfriend Jamie Hince gave it to her.

The Kills guitarist Hince was said to be furious after Moss lost the $4,400 (€3,176) tribal piece he had custom-made for her while recently touring the US.

Moss was so desperate to find the jewellery the pair nearly missed their flight to Thailand, where they plan to celebrate the New Year.

A source told Britain's Daily Mirror: "There was a terrible panic when Kate realised the ring had disappeared. Jamie'd had it specially made for her in Santa Fe. It was a Native American ring designed to symbolise Kate's happy future and Jamie's role in it.

"It was solid silver with a gorgeous blue stone, and was supposed to have all sorts of protective powers. But Kate forgot to put it back in its box... Jamie almost lost his rag (went crazy) when he thought they were going to miss the flight.

"He had to practically shove her into the car. Poor Kate kept apologising. But she later joked that the ring's protective powers left a lot to be desired."
