Naomi Cambell: "It's because I'm black and famous"

[Flat_Eric]

That's what this self-important, narcissistic, tantrum-prone bint claimed as she assaulted two police officers who'd been called to deal with her when she threw a wobbler after being told that her luggage had gone AWOL - along (it must be said) with that of thousands of ordinary, law-abiding folk who (unlike Campbell) managed to limit themselves to a good old-fashioned grumble without any accompanying fisticuffs amid the chaos that reigned during the opening of Heathrow's Terminal 5 earlier in the year.

But to my mind, every bit as undignified as Campbell's behaviour was the huge media scrum that ensued as she arrived at and departed from court this morning to plead guilty.

Do these clowns (and the editors who employ them) not realise that such behaviour merely fuels her already massively over-inflated ego and sense of self-importance?

And if so - why do they indulge her? Yes it sells papers, but that in turn begs the question: Why should odrinary folk give a toss about the antics and childish tantrums of an overpaid clotheshorse who thinks she's God's gift?

Same applies to that other so-called "supermodel" Kate Moss.

Deny them the oxygen of publicity, treat them with the contempt they deserve, and it might (just might) force them into taking a reality check.

That woman is a complete arsehole. I used to think that the biggest twats in the world were in the music industry, but they are eclipsed by the modelling industry. People like her should realise they are unskilled, unemloyable idiots who are nothing more than clothes horses. Why they are treated like film stars by the media I will never know.

Wots the odds she gets off?????

[Deano!]

On the other hand, there's something about a stuck up bitch that makes them a perfect fantasy subject when wanking. One imagines blowing all over their face while they complain and remind you just WHO they ARE!

Apparantley Naomi Campbell was going to get community service,but the magistrate was sympathetic on her plea that she might break a fingernail.

I find it hard to believe she's only thirty- eight, she is a stunning looking woman, but still I've never liked her personality. When the works dries up I wonder what she do with herself as she has no disernable talent, still I wouldn't put it past the tabloids making stories out of her for the next decade.

Sky News are just reporting that she has been given 200 hours community service.

If was me or any of you lot that done the 'hissy fit' act at an Airport terminal,we would of been looking at a heavy fine,and/or a suspended jail sentence.

I think Miss Cambell would have preferred the fine over 200 hours community service, don't you? She's not exactly short of a few bob.

Should be made to clean the toilets at Heathrow
