Continuing my fascination with prima donna Naomi Campbell, here’s the latest via OMG!
The caption reads:
While departing Heathrow Airport last weekend, Naomi Campbell stopped to apologize to the two officers that arrested her earlier this month. We’re not sure if the supermodel’s words were sincere, but we are sure she didn’t fly British Airways; the carrier has banned her from all flights.
Friend of The Style Page (and prolific blogger) slacker chic notes that Naomi Campbell appears on the cover of Vogue Brazil this month:
slacker chic writes, “The little jaibird Naomi is on the cover of this month’s Brazil Vogue. If only she act as beautful and graceful and she looks…”
Waris
From AOL comes this disturbing news Former Model Waris Dirie Reported Missing.
Waris was a victim of female genital mutilation (FGM) in her native Somalia and campaigned against the practice of FGM. Her disappearance comes only a week after the dead body of Katoucha Niane, a former model from Guinea who also campaigned against FGM, was found floating in the Seine.
Katoucha
Coincidence or not? While it’s too late for Katoucha, let us hope that everything is done to find Waris – hopefully alive and in good health.
OK, so Naomi Campbell has an anger management problem and might not be a very nice person, but she’s so amazing looking and she’s the only one of the so-called Trinity of 90s supermodels (the other two being Linda Evangelista and Christy Turlington) who still actively works the runway.
The Naomi Diaries is her first person account of her week in community service, after she was found guilty in January for throwing a mobile phone at her housekeeper. Read what she ate at her midday meals and what she did after hours, when she rejoined all her partying friends. The full story is found in the June 2007 issue of W

Kate allegedly snorting cocaine
Her collection Kate Moss Topshop for UK high street retailer Topshop (“high street” is Britspeak for “chain store” for example, H+M, Forever 21, Gap, Banana Republic) was sold in US, incongruously, through Barneys. Barneys featured a countdown clock on its web site for Kate Moss Topshop on its website: orders could be placed beginning midnight. By the morning, however, the collection was sold out.
For all those who went away disappointed that they missed out on shopping Kate Moss Topshop, Barneys helpfully (or maybe not so helpfully) covered the launch party after the collection sold out. Check out Kate’s outfit that featured a sheer muumuu, cinched with a belt, which plainly shows the black bikini bottom underneath.
Kate’s latest endeavors include the projected launch of a skin care line and a partnering with hair stylist James Brown on a new line of hair care products.
I have never been a fan of Cover Girl. I resent Cover Girl for upholding the beauty ideal of the blue-eyed blonde for so long: Cybill Shepherd, Cheryl Tiegs, and most enduringly, Christie Brinkley have all been the faces of Cover Girl.

In the last ten years, however, Cover Girl has used models of color such as Lana Ogilvie and Tyra Banks (no, I won’t dish about Tyra’s talk show). Now it’s launched the CG Queen Collection, a line of powder foundations, lipsticks, lip glosses, mascara, eye and lip pencils, nail polishes, and eye shadow quads for women of color, named for its spokesmodel Queen Latifah.
The particular strengths of this line appear to be the shades of powder foundation and the variety of lip colors.
The CG Queen Collection is not widely available – consult the web site for store locations or shop online at Cover Girl’s eStore. Mostly, retail outlets are confined to those areas where there are high concentrations of potential customers – I browsed the collection at a KMart located in an area with a high concentration of Hispanic residents.
