Kate Moss finally got the chance to live out her rock star dreams last night – and managed to outdo the professionals.
Dressed in a sheer black jersey dress and killer heels, Kate writhed around on the floor with her microphone as she performed Summertime with Pink Floyd legend David Gilmour at a celebrity version of Britain’s Got Talent.
After her attempts to perform with her boyfriend Jamie Hince’s band The Kills were halted by his bandmate, the charity party gave Kate the opportunity to show them what they were missing.

The 35-year-old was supposed to be judging the karaoke contest alongside real X Factor judge Louis Walsh and Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson, but clearly couldn’t resist the urge to steal the limelight and jumped on stage.
She was given the chance to fulfil her dreams when a guest bid ?47,000 to hear the model duet with the rock legend at the Hoping’s Got Talent event.
Artist Sam Taylor-Wood and Shane MacGowan were supposed to be the final celebrity duet of the night, with guests paying ?30,000 to hear the pair, but the crowd were desperate to David and Kate.
A guest said: ‘Everyone turned to Pink Floyd guitarist Dave Gilmour, chanting: “Dave, Dave, Dave!” When he stood up, everyone turned to Kate and started chanted her name.

‘The audience got more than they bargained for when the pair took to the stage – no-one could believe what was happening.
‘They played Summertime, and Kate really got into it. She dropped to her knees as she belted out the lyrics, and ended up writhing on her back. It was an electrifying performance.’
Throwing her song lyrics away, Kate put on a passionate performance as she sang on the floor at David’s feet. The model had been spotted drinking vodka with friend Sadie Frost earlier in the evening, no doubt providing some Dutch courage for her performance.
Kate’s boyfriend Jamie and friend Lily Allen opened the night by raising ?48,350 for their duet of Dream A Little Dream.
Other bids at the bash included ?10,000 for Madness star Suggs’s impersonation of Susan Boyle singing Me Old Bamboo, ?12,000 for MacGowan to paint a portrait in five minutes and Will Young’s ballet dance in a fat suit for ?8,000.
David Walliams also dressed as his Little Britain character Des Kaye and mocked Taylor-Wood’s teenage boyfriend Aaron Johnson.
Kate was hoping to perform at the gig with her boyfriend Jamie, but he reportedly refused, saying his bandmate would be furious.
After missing last year’s bash, which saw Gwyneth Paltrow duet with Bruce Forsyth, Kate has been taking singing lessons in preparation for the fundraiser.
While few would deny the Kate lives a rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle with her wild parties and edgy fashion choices, she is yet to be taken seriously as a musician.
Her latest attempt to enter the rock world is providing backing vocals for American band The Lemonheads’s cover of Dirty Robot, a track on their new album Varshons.
Her vocals appeared on ex-boyfriend Pete Doherty’s Babyshambles album track La Belle Et Le Bete and she was given songwriting credits on four tracks on the band’s second album Shooter’s Nation.
She also contributed vocals to Primal Scream’s 2003 song Some Velvet Morning.
A friend of the model said last year she wanted to concentrate more ‘songwriting and being a singer’ after her modelling career comes to an end.
Kate isn’t the first model to attempt to crossover to music.
Naomi Campbell’s pop career faltered after her debut single Love & Tears charted at a dismal 75 in 1995, while American model Caprice Bourrett fared slightly better with her forgettable single Once Around The Sun in 2001, which hit no. 24.
Kate attended last night’s bash with new famous friend Lily Allen.
The pair jetted back to London on Thursday afternoon after spending a few days holidaying together with Jamie at a friend’s private villa in the south of France.
The trio were spotted at Nice airport yesterday looking tired, but tanned.Kate was seen pushing a heavy trolley of four bags while Jamie lagged behind carrying his precious guitar.
In contrast, Lily was travelling light with a small black wheelie suitcase.
Lily had jetted straight to France from Australia via London for a few days relaxation after her recent tour down under.
Writing on her Twitter micro-blogging page earlier this week, Lily boasted: ‘Really am luckiest girl, at v generous friend’s house in France, listening to Luda by the pool. Drinking rose, baby.’
Also in attendance last night was Jemima Khan, Guy Ritchie, David Walliams, Sienna Miller, celebrity hairdresser James Brown, Patrick Kielty photographer Mario Testino and artist Tracey Emin.
The event raised over ?500,000 for the Hoping Foundation. Hoping stands for ‘Hope and Optimism for Palestinians In the Next Generation’ and aim to raise money for community projects involving children in Palestinian refugee camps.
