Naomi Campbell’s Arrest Distracts Sun From News
“CREDIT crunch biting. Fuel prices soaring. And no footie. This will cheer you up..” promises the Sun’s front-page headline.
What can it be? News that Big Brother is returned to our TV screens and reporters can take the summer off as the paper writes itself?
“NAOMI FACES JAIL.”
Oh? “Naomi Campbell BEAMED yesterday after being charged with air-rage offences which could get her six months in prison,” says the paper.
Or as her lawyer Simon Nicholls puts it: “Miss Campbell is bitterly disappointed.”
Campbell is accused of assaulting two police officers — one of them twice. She is also accused of two threats to air crew, and disorderly conduct.
More on how BA lost Naomi from Heathrow Terminal Five and the alleged spitting incident can be read here.
But what of the Sun, which having failed to get Amy Winehouse, Paul Burrell and Peaches Geldof jailed, is forced to take vicarious pleasure in the UK’s Celebrity Police Force (CPF) nicking Campbell?
Has the Sun’s failed campaign impacted upon its even-handed news coverage, causing it not to include a picture of any CPF copper posing for his picture alongside today’s celebrity?
There are important matters to discuss in Sun country…

Hi Tracie,
In conversation with Brazilian women I have sometimes been told that they do NOT think Naomi Campbell is anything special regarding beauty.
To me, she has however proved that beauty is only skin deep if you are ugly on the inside.
Whatever her days did for her as a young girl in Streatham, London, they didn’t make her into a lady……just another conceited bitch with an ego bigger than Texas. Lots of makeup, money, but no class.

I can’t wait for the Suns front page exclusive of Naomi cleaning the toilets at Heathrow as an act of pennance for her petulance, and then claiming that she single handedly cleared up the baggage backlog at Terminal 5.

Dairy: I don’t not credit Naughty Naomi with the wit or wisdom of behaving badly for only the sake of some sickly celebrity self publicity stunt. Her temper tantrums are probably caused by something as simple & innocent as substance abuse. What i am suggesting is that The Sun does a sterling job of journalism by acting as Naomi’s publicist. As in the case of Cocaine Kate & Wasted Winehouse, being on the front pages for behaving like a blockhead can be a profitable business, in the world of celebrity culture & the Sun, all publicity is good publicity .

She is a stroppy, loud, stuck up mare who thinks her own sh*t doesnt stink. She needs pulling down a peg or two and made to realise she is not anything special!

I don’t actually believe that it is done for publicity in her case - I think she’s just a stroppy mare who’s out of control because people are too afraid of her and her celebrity to tell her to shut the f*ck up…

The Sun does such a sterling job of journalism keeping some of our most sickly celebrities on the front pages. I cant’ wait to read what the Page 3 model has to say about Naomi’s disgraceful publicity behaviour.

too many people tempted to push her overboard, I expect… I understand that P Diddy came close recently at a party on his boat where she kicked off (again)…

Naomi has an anger problem alright. Why is she still employed. She is nothing spectacular and one wonders how she go to the “top”. If the airlines refuse to carry her, how will she get around. Imagine her on a ship!

a gag, straightjacket and (another) course in anger management would seem to be the order of the day here…?
May 30th, 2008 at 8:58 am
as for the Sun, oh well

One day the airlines might parachute her down mid Atlantic, but develop amnesia over the chute?
