For those of you thinking, Gerard Butler…who? He played the lead in the movie 300 and according to WWD prior to Saturday he had no idea who Naomi Campbell was.

Despite being committed to walk for Rosa Cha at Sao Paulo Fashion Week, Naomi who currently faces 200 hours of community service for her angry antics in April aboard a BA flight at Heathrow airport proved that the show still goes on and made a guest appearance on the catwalk for D&G’s men’s show in Milan over the weekend.

voguecovermay08_070804.jpgIf the cover of May’s British Vogue is anything to go by, my much ridiculed but determined quest to grow out my eyebrows has been totally and absolutely validated. Ha! There is Natalia Vodianova, poster girl for the beauty of a bushy brow, peering out from florals and frills as if to say, “LOOK AT MY OVERGROWN EYEBROWS DON’T THEY ADD TO MY INTOXICATING CHARM?” Why yes, Natalia, they do.

And while her extraordinary beauty might have something to do with the allure, I reserve the right to add her to my list of arguments to support my cause. Other, less persuasive, issues include my spectacularly low pain threshhold and inherent British scruffiness when it comes to personal grooming.

naomicampbell_020408.jpgUh-oh! Naomi’s gone and done it again. Last night, the 37yr old supermodel was arrested on suspicion of assaulting a police officer and taken to Heathrow Police station for questioning.

Basically, Naomi flew into a rage and hurled abuse at BA cabin crew after being informed that one of her bags would not be travelling with her to L.A as it was too heavy. She was told that she could either stay on the flight and have the bag forwarded on, or wait and take a later flight with ALL her bags.

So what did Naomi do? She hurled abuse at the staff and allegedly screamed,

“This is a joke, right?” and “Why can’t you do anything right? Get all my bags on this flight! I’m Naomi Campbell.”

tonigarrn_270308.jpgIt’s another fashion fairytale; gorgeous girl gets scooped up off the street and suddenly finds herself as part of a two-season runway exclusive with a main designer and the face of his new campaign. In this case the gorgeous girl is Toni Garrn of Hamburg and the main designer is Calvin Klein.

Garrn had no modelling aspirations prior to her impromptu scouting encounter; on the contrary, she is currently in school and lives at home with her parents. Yet despite her nonchalance about this new chapter in her life, her casual attitude belies the success she’s already had (in addition to the whole CK runway thing).
