So for at least one day, maids and assistants across the world can rest easy. Supermaniac, er Supermodel, Naomi Campbell has a court date today in Manhattan Criminal Court for her hearing today and this time it's for throwing a phone at her housekeeper's noggin. Her lawyer is hoping to get her off on community service, as long as it's not the kind that will put her in contact with regular people. In his defense, it's probably safer for both parties involved if we leave the regular people out of it. From the Daily Mail:
Prosecutors have been trying to agree on a plea bargain with her lawyer over the second degree assault charge, which the catwalk star has denied. After she last appeared in court, in November, her defence lawyer David Breitbart indicated that she could accept a community service punishment, but was not keen on sweeping the streets like Boy George was ordered to. The task had to be something "palatable" such as fund-raising for cancer or Aids research where she would not be mobbed by media, Mr Breitbart told reporters.Maybe Naomi should have thought of that BEFORE she started beating the shit out of people. Also, since when has this woman shunned media attention? Isn't that her job as a MODEL?

UPDATE: Naomi Campbell pleaded guilty to assault. She was sentenced to five days' community service, a two-day anger management course and ordered to pay medical bills of $363.33 (£184.90) for her injured housekeeper, who was hurt when Campbell threw a mobile phone. In what I'm sure what is Campbell's most heartfelt attempt to convince the public that she is not, in fact, an evil femme-bot, she had the following to say about her injured maid, Ana Scolavino:
"I am advised that Ana was hurt, and I am deeply sorry about that."I hope Naomi didn't pull a muscle when she delivered that emotional, stirring comment which illustrated her sympathies for Scolavino.

She was 'advised' Ana was hurt??? What, the blood pouring from her housekeeper's head after impact didn't clue her in? Someone needs to stomp this bitch! My choice is L'il Kim.

I just DON'T understand how she keeps getting away with this shit. Medical bills of $363.33???
Naomi needs to be removed from society completely.
Jamie says:
Sooooo, just because she's a celebrity she shouldn't have to sweep streets?!!! Well, you're damn right she should of thought of that first!! I would stick her dumb ugly ass in a retirement home to wipe ass's and change shitty diapers!!!
