There are some stars who are such tragic creatures of habit that reporting on their constant antics becomes something of an eye-roll-inducing event. Members of this elite squadron include Amy Winehouse, Shane Warne, and the topic of today's groaning, Naomi Campbell.

I've actually lost track of where we're up to in Campbell's history of belting people left, right and centre, but apparently she's set for some community service work after pleading guilty to going batshit crazy on a British Airways flight recently.

As well as the community service - which has to be completed within 12 months - she was ordered to pay £200 ($A415) to each of the two police officers she assaulted, and £150 ($A312) to the aircraft captain.

The 38-year-old subjected the captain of the British Airways flight and police to a barrage of foul-mouthed abuse, spitting and swearing and accusing them of victimisation because she was black, a west London court was told.

Campbell, who last year was handed community service and forced to undergo anger management therapy after admitting assaulting her maid in New York, pleaded guilty to six charges in relation to the incident on April 3 this year.

The catwalk star'slawyer said she was "genuinely apologetic" for her behaviour.

Given her history of confirmed and alleged assaults, Campbell's actual grasp of the concept of "genuinely apologetic" is perhaps open for discussion, but let's see if she can keep it together this time, shall we?

After all, if Amy Winehouse and Shane Warne can change their ways, anyone - oh.
