Actress and singer Jennifer Lopez was chosen to be the next year's cover girl for the Pirelli calendar. Jennifer, 36, has already done the photo shoot on the French Riviera. The calendar will be released in Paris on November 18.

Kate Moss, the supermodel photographed snorting cocaine in a London recording studio, will also appear on the calendar, the Pirelli bosses claiming that they never even thought of giving up Moss.

Julie Naylor, Pirelli UK's communications manager, told Britain's Daily Mail newspaper: "There was no chance that Kate would have been dropped from the calendar.
We decided to stick with her because professionally she has always been great for us and a wonderful ambassador. What she does in her private life is no concern of ours."

However, it seems that the Pirelli bosses had no chance of giving up Moss, because the calendar had already been printed.

An insider is quoted in Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper as saying: "The problem was that the calendar had already been shot and produced.
It is now waiting to be distributed. There was no way at such short notice that Kate's photographs could have been removed and replaced with someone else."
