Naomi Campbell is probably the most popular supermodel of her times. She is the first black supermodel to appear on the cover of French and British Vogue, as well as Time magazine. Naomi Campbell was born on May 22, 1970 in Streatham, South London. She studied at the London Academy For Performing Arts.
Naomi Campbell has dominated the fashion scene since age 27. She has been a prominent fashion model on the runway and in print advertising since the late 1980s. She also posed nude for Playboy magazine and for a series of lesbian-erotic photos with Madonna in her book Sex. She is reputed to have a quick temper, with several tabloid stories involving violence against her staff as well as verbal abuse. Breathtaking and exceptional, Naomi has decorated the most prestigious catwalks, fashion magazine covers, media headlines and established herself as a worldwide celebrity.
British beauty Naomi has been romantically linked to high-profile names like British aristocrat Damian Aspinall, Mike Tyson, Robert De Niro, nightclub owner Robert Goode, Luca Orlandini, F1 boss Flavio Briatore, Sylvester Stallone, Eric Clapton, Adam Clayton, Joaquin Cortés and male model Enrique Palacio. Most recent was her fling with Grammy winner hip-hop singer Usher. After three months the couple ended the relationship because she thought he got more media hype on their relationship than she did. Other sources claimed Usher dumped her because he became "bored."
Naomi's life seems to be a non-stop soap opera. Her ex personal assistant Rebecca White recently told British TV that Naomi did a lesbian kiss with Kate Moss at a charity fashion show hosted by Nelson Mandela in Barcelona, Spain on June 2001. Naomi also drew attention by confessing that she was addicted to drugs and was joining Narcotics Anonymous then objected to the media coverage stating it was an invasion to her privacy.
On a more positive side, Naomi donated the profit of her book sales to the Red Cross Somalia Relief Fund and recently joined the Dalai Lama foundation to construct kindergartens for international deprived societies through UNESCO.
