Lindsay Lohan May Guest Star On ‘Ugly Betty’ Season Finale, Pending Producers Allow Her To Appear Topless
8:00AM Molly Friedman | We have to give Britney Spears some credit: even after all the gurney rides, mental ward stays and umbrella attacks, she’s still capable of inspiring her fellow Bimbo Summit alumni to follow in her bare footsteps. According to TV Guide, Lindsay Lohan is “in advanced discussions” to become the latest stunt cast victim guest star on the May 22nd finale of ABC’s runaway hit Ugly Betty. And in a nostalgic nod to the good old days when she played an outcast in Mean Girls, she’s reported to play a fast-food worker who Betty befriends. The only bad news? Lohan will be forced to share the guest star spotlight with the all-time queen of anger management-be-damned divadom.Naomi Campbell’s Bad Luck Streak Continues As Her Hair Decides To Jump Ship
7:45AM Molly Friedman | Long ago, we witnessed the frightening effects a bad weave can have on someone like Tyra Banks. Then, we had the misfortune of seeing what happens when John Travolta grew crops of fake hair atop his jolly head. And of course, who can forget Jude Law’s T-bone-shaped crew cut earlier this week. But leave it to sanitation worker/phone-throwing criminal Naomi Campbell to reveal the worst and most gruesome display of ‘do disasters. Seems even legendary female supermodels who’ve made a living off their looks can suffer from a condition we’ve often seen featured on late-night infomercials: ladies losin’ their hair. The evidence lies after the jump. More »
Naomi Campbell Goes Off At Whitey; Presumably Also Thinks 911 Is A Joke
2:24PM Clem Bastow | Not long after she’d been allegedly banned from flying with British Airways, just what landed Naomi Campbell in this latest spot of bother has emerged – and what a charming lass she is!
The supermodel apparently opened up a can of verbal whup-ass on all and sundry, culminating in a delightful spray of racial abuse directed at the police officer who was trying to escort her. Two thumbs up, Naomi!
Now cops claim she called a WPC a “white ****” and a “white s**g” as she was dragged off the LA-bound jet in handcuffs.
The police source said Naomi continued, screaming: “f***ing white honkeys” at the officer and her colleagues.
Those anger management classes have clearly been a great success, then.
Campbell went berserk when she discovered one of her bags was missing at Terminal 5 last Thursday, allegedly spitting at officers who approached.
Senior Scotland Yard staff were furious when Naomi later claimed police only arrested her because of her colour.
She told a pal: “It just goes to show I have to fight for who I am. It’s because I’m black.”
We know it’s a sensitive area, but Campbell’s history of claiming discrimination due to being black is, well, a little shaky. Remember when she claimed UK Vogue had never had her on the cover, only they had – eight times?
Either way, someone must get her on the next Celebrity Big Brother or I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Outta Here – worth it for the quotes alone! More »
British Airways Bans Naomi Campbell; Now She Can Finally Buy That Broomstick She’s Always Wanted
10:18AM Clem Bastow | Not long after they “escorted” her from one of their flights after she allegedly assaulted a police officer, British Airways have decided there’s one less supermodel temper they’re prepared to deal with while floating miles above the ground in a tin tube filled with innocent bystanders and have banned Naomi Campbell from their flights.
(Really, we just wanted an excuse to use that amazing ‘Here’s Naomi’ picture again, so cheers, BA!)
When asked about a report in the Mirror saying she had been banned, a spokesman said:
“We don’t comment in detail about matters relating to individual passengers.
“All incidents of abuse against passengers or staff are taken extremely seriously by BA and will not be tolerated. We deal with cases on an individual basis and will take whatever action we feel is necessary.”
Campbell’s spokeswoman in London added: “Naomi has been flying with British Airways for nearly 30 years and has been a good customer. She hopes this can be resolved amicably.”
Police are investigating the disturbance last Thursday at Heathrow’s new Terminal 5.
See, British legal system? This is the sort of forward-thinking efficiency that could be employed in dealing with Pete Doherty. More »
Photoshop Genius Award Of The Day Goes To…
9:42AM Clem Bastow | We were going to go into great detail telling you about Naomi Campbell’s latest collar for anger management issues – this time she’s alleged to have a) spat on a police officer and b) been cuffed and thrown off a flight at Heathrow; business as usual, then – but we think this little bit of Photoshop wondrousness from the Herald Sun’s front page says all that needs to be said:
Sometimes, there are no words.
Other than, you know, “OH JESUS WEPT SAVE US” or something to that effect. More »
Naomi Campbell Strikes Again, This Time Directing Her Much-Used Claws Towards A Police Officer
5:50AM Molly Friedman | We’d like to have a word with Naomi Campbell’s anger management instructor, because apparently those classes she was forced to take after that infamous cell phone toss last year didn’t do much good at all. According to People, Campbell was arrested earlier today for assaulting a police officer at London’s Heathrow Airport, and while it’s cute that they reference the fact that “travellers’ frustrations have flared due to baggage delays” since the new Terminal 5 was constructed, we can’t help but feel as though Campbell is officially out of excuses for attacking the innocent. Though throwing her mobile phone at an assistant last year was certainly a step down on the crazy level from her 2000 incident attacking a PA on set, moving up to police assault moves Campbell out of the sanitation club with fellow alumnus Boy George, and into handcuffs territory. But what happened to the sweet, good-natured Naomi we witnessed on Bravo’s guilty pleasure Make Me A Supermodel a few episodes ago? More »
Leave Britney Alone Guy Abandons His Leaving-Britney-Alone Mission
10:15AM Defamer Hollywood | We’d normally apologize in advance for inflicting the above video upon you, but, when you think about it, aren’t we all at least partially to blame for its existence? Think of the three-and-a-half minutes of your life you’re about to sacrifice as penance for the Leave Britney Alone Guy phenomenon. These are probably not never-nude actress Elisha Cuthbert’s bare breasts. Still, you will click. [Link NSFW] How long do you think it will take for this enormous LCD TV to make its way from CES in Vegas to some producer’s living room, to which he’ll lure a desperate actress with the promise of getting a look at his “108-inch monster”? Supermodel-turned-political-correspondent Naomi Campbell got Hugo Chavez to name Fidel Castro The Most Stylish Despot in the World. The other Big Lebowksi sells real esate locally. More »
Naomi’s Battle Of Evermore As Zep Fan Rambles On And Attempts To Show Supermodel Good Times, Bad Times
11:16AM Clem Bastow | Before we try to fit any more Led Zeppelin puns (they reformed recently, didn’t you hear?) into the one headline, we’ll get on with business.
To wit, Naomi Campbell – one of the myriad famous fans attending the old rockers’ “getting the band back together” gig for charity – was caught up in a scuffle when one opportunistic fan thought he’d try to nick the VIP pass from around the supermodel’s neck.
Why she didn’t just hit him with a phone is anyone’s guess; maybe that community service really did work!
An eyewitness said: “This guy, who looked a bit drunk, ran up alongside Naomi and tried to lift the passes from around her neck but it got tangled in her scarf and hair.
“He yanked the pass quite forcefully which dragged her down, half throttling her, before security stepped in.”
“She was screaming ‘He’s got the pass’ but it sounded as if she was being choked. The guy eventually got the pass and ran off. It all happened so quickly. Naomi looked very shaken.”
Photographer Greg Brennan added: “People were doing anything to get their hands on one of those tickets. People were fighting all over the place.”
Turns out the reason she didn’t bonk him with her BlackBerry is that she reckons it was nicked from her bag at the concert!
Hilariously, O2 Arena spokespeople played down the “theft”, offering this to the press: “Naomi Campbell did report that she had lost her phone, but she couldn’t even remember whether she brought it with her or not.”
Oh, which reminds us, our diamond-studded solid-gold Ferrari got stolen the other day in the Coles carpark; we can’t remember whether we’d driven it there or not, but would appreciate its swift return. More »
Is It Coz I Is Amnesiac?
11:11AM Clem Bastow | Everyone’s favourite supermodel mouth, Naomi Campbell, has accused British Vogue of racism, claiming that the colour of her skin is the reason they’ve never given her a cover.
“I’ve never been on the cover of British Vogue and I’ve asked a million times and they’ve always refused me,” Campbell said.
“They’ll put the same white model for half the year – I swear, like six times – but wouldn’t put me on once in my own country. But I still want my British Vogue cover!”
This is the sort of injustice we’d usually be totally right-on and come out fighting for, but, er, well, she’s been on the cover – eight times.
Sure, Vogue – like MTV – aren’t known for being particularly progressive in their cover model choices at the best of times, but, like, Naomi, do you even look in your book? More »
