Naomi to be model mum? - Feb 22 2007
Is supermodel Naomi Campbell getting broody? It seems the catwalk queen is apparently feeling left out because all her pals have children.
And now the 36-year-old has decided it might be the right time to have a baby of her own, reports the Daily Mirror.
"I’m the only one of my friends who doesn’t have kids," the beauty is quoted as saying. "If I don’t have them soon I’ll be under loads of pressure."
Naomi has never appeared to have felt the pull of motherhood in the past - despite relationships with some of the world’s most eligible men.
The model, famed for her temper, was rumoured to have had a brief relationship with boxer Mike Tyson, has dated actor Robert De Niro and F1 boss Flavio Briatore, and was once engaged to U2’s Adam Clayton.
She’s also been romantically linked to actors Sylvester Stallone and Leonardo DiCaprio and hip-hop star Usher.
Naomi sets record straight - Jan 23 2007
Naomi Campbell picked up the phone yesterday to set the record straight about reports of her recent antics in Brazil.
The model played down her reported spat with a videographer at a party in Rio during her conversation with the New York Daily News, saying "The video photographer, when I walked in, put the camera right at my head, so I told him, ’Don’t hit me in my head.’
"I was at the party for an hour and 15 minutes, and I was on the dance floor. I wasn’t hiding in a room."
She was also keen to deny being involved with the Candomblé religious sect, after attending the birthday party of one of the cult’s high priests, Tuca Franchini.
"I’m Church of England, Protestant. I was christened that," Naomi told the newspaper.
"I went to a party for a guy whose birthday it was. I don’t discriminate against what religion people have
"That’s what he does, but it doesn’t mean I have to be involved in it," she said.
Commenting on her recent sentencing at Manhattan’s Criminal Court to complete anger management classes and five days of community service for throwing a mobile phone that hit an employee’s head, Naomi said, "I’m remorseful and regretful.
"I’m trying to live my life and do some things for charity.
"I’m taking my punishment, and I accept that. I’ve accepted my responsibility and that’s that.
"I have no idea what [community service] I’ll do.
"Whatever they tell me to do, I’ll do with my integrity, and that’s it," Naomi said
Naomi for Ugly Betty role? - Jan 19 2007
It seems supermodel Naomi Campbell does have a sense of humour - she’s apparently agreed to play a "loony" in Ugly Betty.
Naomi, who this week pleaded guilty to a misdemeanour charge of reckless assault against one of her employees, will reportedly play a loveless woman who adores shopping in the Channel 4 show.
"On Ugly Betty I’ll play a loony who loves to shop and can’t find a man. I like that sort of character," the Daily Express reported her to have said.

She was raised by her grandparents since her mother, the ambitious Valerie, was making her way around the world with an exotic dance troupe. At 13, precocious Naomi started at the Italia Conti stage school. Two years later she was ’discovered’ in Covent Garden by a modelling scout.
Recently, she has been seeking anger therapy - her American agency fired her on the grounds that she was ’unbearable’ and published the following statement: ’No amount of money or prestige could further justify the abuse she has imposed on our staff and clients.’ She recently pleaded guilty to assaulting her assistant with the mobile phone she normally keeps clamped to her ear. Naomi had a top 10 hit with Babywoman in Japan and has a reputation for being always late.
She has been romanced by a string of men including Mike Tyson, Robert De Niro, Joaquin Cortes and was rumoured to have had a fling with Joseph Fiennes. She is currently dating Italian millionaire Flavio Briatore.
As well as modelling and a stab at a music career she has also penned a novel entitled Swan (1995) and has appeared in the film Pret-a-Porter, she also appeared in an episode of Absolutely Fabulous and once was a pupil in Grange Hill. Naomi has also just launched her own perfume. She also has an apartment in Chelsea. (written 2001)
