Supermodel and notorious bad girl Naomi Campbell will be adorning Austrian postage stamps as part of a fundraiser to help Sir Elton John’s AIDS Charities. The Austrian public will be able to buy stamps of the doe-eyed beauty for 75 cents due to be released to coincide with the annual Sir Elton John life ball. Naomi’s scheduled to host the ball alongside Sir Elton, which will be held on the 20th of May in the Austrian capital, Vienna.

According to contactmusic.com a spokesperson said of Naomi’s participation,

“Naomi is a keen supporter of AIDS causes and saw Nelson Mandela in Africa earlier this month. She’ll be hosting the Life Ball, which is a gorgeous event at Vienna’s city hall and has featured designs by Vivienne Westwood and John Galliano.”

Wow….

The media is having a field day exposing various celebrities and their drug use. Back on the hit list is Kate Moss alongside Naomi Campbell. According to model booker Gavin Maselle who spoke exclusively to the Sun, Naomi and Kate took a huge amount of drugs while meeting Nelson Mandela in South Africa in February 1998.

He tells stories of their drug sessions, lesbian romps, his time in the shower with Kate and how Naomi is “downright rude”.

We all ended up lying on Naomi’s bed. Naomi was being very dramatic. She would go into the bathroom, snort, come out and change into this fabulous Pucci kaftan and rant and rave about her fabulous life.

Kate spent a night of lust with the American model on the same trip, Gavin revealed.

The pair snorted line after line of cocaine before slipping between the sheets of the king-sized bed in Kate’s hotel suite.

He’s also exposed Kate as a drug smuggler telling how she smuggled ecstasy, cocaine and the date-rape drug Rohypnol in a Faberge egg…..

Gavin said: “She travelled the world with that egg.” Kate flew to Cuba the next day with it full of ecstasy and Rohypnol.

Tyra Banks and Naomi Campbell have managed to reconcile their differences on air (in an empty studio) for The Tyra Banks show.
Unable to end the feud with an audience, Tyra told Naomi 50% of the reason she retired was because

I was tired of having to deal with you. I was tired of constantly hearing that I got cancelled from this job or that, or hearing that this photographer was called, or that magazine was called and (told) not to use me.”

Italian papers are going crazy over the story that Naomi Campbell possibly beat up Italian actress Yvonne Scio in the suite of a 5 star hotel in Rome. The incident was said to have occurred on Saturday evening. Both Campbell and Scio have been friends for 10 years and had been out shopping in Via Condotti. They returned to their hotel to change for a dinner with friends, and the argument began when Naomi saw Yvonne in a Fendi dress. According to the Guardian Scio told the police

“”Naomi started insulting me, saying all kinds of things. To calm her, I went back and changed into jeans and a top.”

“As soon as I went back into her suite, without saying a single word, Naomi hurled herself at me, with kicks and punches on my head and face.”

Scio had to be admitted to casualty, and after treatment went to the nearest police station to file a complaint against the supermodel. Naomi does not deny the dispute but is adamant there was no violence. Her European spokesman Jonathan Morrish has said in an issued statement,

“Supermodel Naomi Campbell has been mistakenly dragged into a potential drama in Rome after an ‘actress’ and long-term acquaintance Yvonne Scio made claims about a dispute between the two.

“Naomi made it clear that there had been a disagreement between the two in which she told Miss Scio that she was ‘very disappointed at her behaviour and that she should go now’. The details of the conversation haven’t been revealed, but Miss Campbell is adamant that she had words with the actress but nothing more than that.”

Italian police have confirmed that a magistrate will be assessing the case before it’s decided whether it will be taken any further.
