It's no joke for shop as supermodel Kate visits

SUPERMODEL Kate Moss and her rock star boyfriend, Jamie Hince, paid a visit to a Capital joke shop this week.

The celebrity couple were spotted drinking in a Victoria Street pub before Hince's band, The Kills, played the Liquid Room on Tuesday night.

However, the News has learned they also called in to Armstrong's Vintage Emporium and Costume Ha Ha on the Grassmarket, where staff said they bought a number of "novelty items".

Nobody at the shop was willing to confirm the exact nature of the purchases.

Jane Barrow of Armstrong's said: "They came in had a look around the shop.

"They were a lovely couple, and she was looking beautiful as always."

Moss and Hince, who have plans to marry in the summer, also enjoyed drinks in the Bow Bar and a meal at The Witchery.

The party continued after the gig, as the couple visited the Opal Lounge nightclub, before leaving in a taxi in the early hours of the morning.
