Naomi Campbell Gets Community Service for T5 Brawl

June 20, 2008 at 3:23 PM | by pbb | 0 Comments

Another pugnacious passenger is facing 20 years, but Naomi Campbell got off relatively easy in a British courtroom today. After a fracas at London Heathrow's Terminal 5, the frequently feisty supermodel was looking at a six-month jail term.

Rather than lock her up, though, a magistrate decided that 200 hours of community service and a $4,500 fine would be enough. Though only four of the six charges against Campbell were pursued, the Crown Prosecution Service wasn't going easy on her, its director Nazir Afzal said:

Ms. Campbell was aggressive, hostile and violent to people who were simply trying to do their jobs. Her behavior fell far short of what is acceptable.

So will British Airways will take her off its blacklist after she serves her sentence?

Fashion Travel: Celebs say RIP to YSL

Where: Paris, France
June 5, 2008 at 12:02 PM | by CourtScott | 0 Comments

Paris' famed Rue Saint-Honore will be a catwalk of condolences today as fashion's elite gather at the Église Saint-Roch to pay tribute to the late Yves Saint Laurent. Christian Lacroix, Jean Paul Gaultier, John Galliano and Valentino have RSVP'd to the invite-only funeral service along with celeb friends Claudia Schiffer and model-turned-first-lady, Carla Bruni.

Notably absent will be Karl Lagerfeld who is conveniently "away on business," presumably still underlining the errors in Alice Drake's recent joint biography of Lagerfeld and YSL.

Travel Tips: Why You Shouldn't Flip out at the Airport

May 29, 2008 at 12:50 PM | by pbb | 0 Comments

Remember last month when always-infuriated supermodel Naomi Campbell supposedly flew off the handle at London Heathrow? We do!

She's now been officially charged in London with assaulting a policeman, disorderly conduct and "using threatening behavior and abusive words to cabin crew." Her trial starts June 20, and she's facing a maximum sentence of six months in jail plus a five-figure fee if convicted on all counts.

Let this be a lesson to you, frustrated fliers: No matter how bad Terminal 5 may suck, it's probably better than a half-year "holiday" in a British prison.

Bad Behavior Travel: Crabby Campbell Continues to Carouse

April 18, 2008 at 9:00 AM | by egw | 0 Comments

Naomi Campbell certainly chose an, uh, original response to her arrest at London Heathrow after allegedly hitting and kicking flight attendants: She wants a boycott of British Airways, the airline she was flying at the time of her arrest.

One might think a boycott would be unnecessary after an act that supposedly got her banned from BA, but Campbell wants the world to know "There was a complete disrespect for the passengers" on her scheduled flight to Rio de Janeiro.

The airline would not confirm or deny the ban, but the supermodel claimed BA officials later begged her to fly with them again--but she haughtily refused. Plausible pissed-off passenger or crazy concocted crap? You decide.

Supermodels Go Through Baggage Hell, Too

April 4, 2008 at 9:22 AM | by egw | 1 Comment

Supermodel Naomi Campbell was arrested yesterday for throwing a temper tantrum at Heathrow Airport. Allegedly, Campbell, who once beat an assistant with a telephone and supposedly threw a jewel-encrusted Blackberry at her assistant, flew into a rage while boarding the plane and started yelling at the gate staff. When security showed up, she spit at them and may have even punched them.

The outburst was supposedly brought on by Campbell's discovery that one of her three bags did not make it on the plane. Yup, she fell prey to the madness of Terminal 5. Jaunted doesn't recommend dealing with lost luggage in this manner, even if you are a supermodel.
