Nelson Mandela inspires Naomi Campbell

Super model Naomi Campbell has revealed that she looks up to former South African president Nelson Mandela for inspiration when times get tough for her.

The British beauty has formed a close bond with Mandela since their meeting in early 1990s and he fondly refers to her as his "honorary granddaughter".

She says his fight for freedom during South Africa's apartheid gives her the strength to overcome her troubles, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"I have to pinch myself sometimes because who in the world doesn't want to know Nelson Mandela? But I've been extremely blessed to have been in his presence many times...He's someone who I often think about when things get tough and life isn't full of roses. Nothing can be as hard as what he went through," she said.

"Now, I don't have his constitution for forgiving. I hope one day to acquire that. But I don't hold grudges either. When things happen, I just kind of want to move away from them for a while and hope that things will come back in a more positive light," she said.

Supermodel Naomi Campbell has sparked wedding rumours

Supermodel Naomi Campbell has sparked wedding rumours after booking a month long "honeymoon" with boyfriend, Russian billionaire Vladislav Doronin.

The 39-year-old model has booked a luxury holiday which will cost a whopping 1 million pounds and she is calling it a honeymoon, reported Sun online.

"The honeymoon planned to end just before Christmas, is costing close to 1 million pounds because they will only use private jets and stay at the best hotels," said a source close to the couple.

Rumours, that the English supermodel will be marrying Doronin, known as Russia's Donald Trump, have been doing the rounds ever since she moved to Russia earlier this year to set up house with the business tycoon.

The couple first met at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival and attended the star-studded A-List birthday dinner held for the legendary South African leader Nelson Mandela. Soon after, the pair became inseparable, famously vacationing on Vladislav Doronin’s yacht off St Tropez in the South of France last summer in clear view of the paparazzi.

Naomi Campbell poses naked in fur

Once an anti-fur activist, supermodel Naomi Campbell is set to ignite a debate after posing naked - with just a Russian sable fur.

The 39-year-old catwalk queen has reportedly posed in a coat made from Russian sable in an advert for a luxury New York furrier Dennis Basso, reports the Daily Express.

She had once famously declared she would rather go naked than wear fur, however, Campbell backtracked when PETA targeted designers.

"I felt that they went too far and I thought, I didn't want to be a part of this campaign any more," she said at the time.

Campbell has been branded a hypocrite by Sir Paul McCartney's ex-wife Heather Mills, 41. But Basso said: "Women who want something beautiful are only ­interested in the final product."

You May Forget

Naomi Campbell seems to devote a lot of her time to throwing cell phones and assaulting people so it may be easy to forget that she actually has a day job.

With on of the fiercest walks in the industry, Naomi strutted her stuff for Dolce & Gabbana at Milan Fashion Week yesterday.

Naomi Campbell Charged With Assalting An Officer

Naomi Campbell has been charged with assaulting a police officer at London's Heathrow Airport, her lawyer told BBC News Thursday. (I was hoping she would be charged… this woman is nuts!) She has also been charged with one count of disorderly conduct and one count of using threatening, abusive words or behavior towards cabin crew.

The model, 37, was arrested in April aboard a British Airways flight when she threw a fit after three of her carry-on bags came up missing. "Miss Campbell is bitterly disappointed that the prosecutors have advised her she is to be prosecuted for various offences," her lawyer said in a statement after she answered bail at a London police station Thursday. "She respects that decision and she hopes this matter is dealt with expeditiously," he said.

She is due in court June 20. Last year, Naomi was ordered to spend a week mopping floors at a NYC warehouse for assaulting her maid with a cell phone.

Happy and Sad

Naomi Campbell was all smiles in Berlin where she spoke at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week press conference today. She didn't seem too phased by the fact that her former assistant committed suicide just a day before. Jade Bien-Aimee Sutherland jumped off a London bridge to his death yesterday at just 28 years old.
