Naomi Campbell Pleads Guilty to Assault Charges

Naomi Campbell has pleaded guilty to assaulting two police officers in London's Heathrow Airport.

Facing six charges stemming from the April incident, the supermodel pleaded guilty to four in court on Friday, including two counts of� assaulting police and one public order offense.

"We've accepted that plea," a spokeswoman for the Crown Prosecution Service said.

Notorious for her temper tantrums, Naomi had criticized British Airways for losing one of her carry-on items. The altercation occurred after she was escorted off the Los Angeles-bound aircraft by security.

Naomi is expected to be sentenced later.

This is, of course, not the 38-year-old's first indiscretion. Last year, she famously performed community service after allegedly throwing a cell phone at her housekeeper.

Naomi Campbell - Campbell Pays Tribute To Saint Laurent

British supermodel NAOMI CAMPBELL has paid tribute to late designer YVES SAINT LAURENT praising his role in promoting black models in the fashion world.

Saint Laurent died from a brain tumour at his home in Paris, France on Sunday (01Jun08).

The fashion legend was the first designer to use black models the catwalk - and launched Campbell's career in the 1990s

In a tearful tribute, Campbell said Saint Laurent had "done so much for people of colour".

She says, "My first Vogue cover ever was because of this man. Because when I said to him 'Yves, they won't give me a French Vogue cover, they won't put a black girl on the cover' and he was like 'I'll take care of that,' and he did.

"He was the king of fashion. He created pret-a-porter, he was the first designer to put women of colour on the runway, he was extremely important in my career, giving me one of my first jobs."

Last week (ends30May08), Campbell signed a comeback deal to front the company's autumn/winter 2008 campaign.
