Naomi Campbell: Last year had two benign 9cm tumors removed from her adomen

Naomi Campbell says she had surgery to remove two benign 9cm tumours from her abdomen last year.

And during the op, which took place in Brazil, doctors realised one had leaked.

‘It wasn’t getting them out that was serious,’ she says. ‘It was the infection.’

‘Had I stayed with them in there for a further three months, they said I would have been in danger for my life.’

Naomi, 38, is currently dating Russian billionaire Vladislav Doronin, 45, and says she's keen to have kids.

‘I’m not pressuring my partner but I’d love to have a baby,’ she tells The Mail on Sunday.

‘It’s every woman’s dream and I feel that's a huge part of my life that I'm yet to experience.’

Naomi Campbell: Sarah brown encourages me to help charity

Naomi Campbell says meeting Gordon Brown’s wife Sarah opened her eyes to lack of facilities for women giving birth in the Third World.

The model met Sarah to learn about the White Ribbon Alliance, which promotes safer childbirth. The PM's wife lost her daughter Jennifer Jane when she was just 10 days old.

‘When Sarah started talking I though she was going to cry,’ she says. ‘When someone’s talking from experience, it’s very touching.’

Naomi, 38, organised her recent Fashion For Relief show to raise money for the charity.

10,000 women die while giving birth every week, a figure that horrifies Naomi.

‘It’s a huge problem,’ she tells the Daily Mirror. ‘We’re very fortunate but these people don’t have the equipment to deliver a baby.

‘I connected with it, I’m a woman, I’d like to have kids.’

Naomi Campbell heats up the French Riviera

Removed from the list of celebrity presenters at Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday celebration, model Naomi Campbell decided to take avantage of her suddenly open schedule with a trip to the French Riviera.

On Saturday morning (June 28), the fiery catwalk queen was spotted arriving at the Club 55 beach in St Tropez with boyfriend, Brazilian entrepreneur Marcus Elias.

Sporting a hot black bikini, Campbell continued her French Riviera vacation on Flavio Briatore’s boat - at one point ending up in a heated conversation on her cell phone. Fortunately enough, there wasn’t anyone nearby she could throw it at!

As for her removal from Mandela’s guest list - the blacklisting occurred following her latest arrest at Heathrow Airport, when “she was wearing a baseball hat featuring Mr Mandela’s Robben Island prison number and Aids charity moniker 46664.”

A source close to the concert told press that it was “fair to say that Mandela was behind the decision.”

Naomi Campbell: I was the victim in airport incident

Supermodel says she was provoked in attack at Terminal 5

Naomi Campbell has defended her outburst at Heathrow Airport in April.

The supermodel was arrested for assaulting 2 police officers after her bags went missing at the troubled Terminal 5.

But Naomi – who is accused of kicking and spitting at the cops - insists she was provoked.

‘I was called a racial name on that flight,’ she says. '[It was] nothing to do with the police but British Airways. I was called a golliwog supermodel.'

But the 38-year-old admits her tantrum was out of order.

'I’m proud to be a black woman, I’m proud to be British, I’m proud of the job that I do but I did not call anyone names of colour, of their race,' she tells Sky News.

'At the end of the day, my upset and wrath came out on the police, which was wrong.'

Naomi, 38, pleaded guilty to 2 counts of assault, 1 count of disorderly conduct likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress and using threatening, abusive words or behaviour to cabin crew.

She has been ordered to do 200 hours' community service within the next 12 months, pay £200 compensation to each the officers she assaulted, £150 compensation to the aircraft captain and fines totalling £2,300 and a £15 surcharge.

A spokesman for BA denies any wrongdoing: ‘British Airways does not accept any allegations of racism. We are proud of our diversity.’

This will be the model's second stint of community service. Last year, Naomi served 5 days' as a cleaner in New York as punishment for throwing a mobile at her housekeeper.

Naomi Campbell faces jail over assault and foul-mouthed tirade

The supermodel Naomi Campbell was facing a possible jail term today after pleading guilty to kicking and spitting at police officers during an air rage incident aboard an aircraft waiting to take off from Heathrow airport.

A court heard that the 38-year-old screamed foul-mouthed abuse at the captain of a British Airways flight after being told one of her bags had gone missing during the luggage chaos at the newly-opened Terminal 5 in April.

Campbell ordered the captain to get off the plane and look for her suitcase, holding up the flight bound for Los Angeles for almost an hour. When cabin crew eventually called police to remove her she refused to get off the plane and accused them of targeting her because she was black.

The model pleaded guilty to two counts of assaulting a police officer, one count of disorderly conduct likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress and using threatening, abusive words or behaviour to cabin crew during an appearance at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court in west London.

Before adjourning to consider its sentence, the court heard the details of the events at Heathrow. Campbell could be jailed for up to six months and/or fined up to £5,000 for each count of assault.

Melanie Parrish, prosecuting, told the court that Campbell was a first class passenger on the BA flight on April 3 this year and cabin crew said initially she was very friendly and professional.

She said that Captain Miles Sutherland had been advised that not all the baggage had been loaded due to the teething problems at the new terminal.

The court heard he made a routine check with the passengers on board the flight telling passengers there may be a slight delay because of the baggage problems.

Miss Parrish said: "Miss Campbell, having heard this, approached the cabin crew and asked them to make inquiries about the state of her baggage.

"Regrettably it was confirmed one of her items was one of those not loaded. Having heard that Miss Campbell had been affected by the baggage difficulties, he took the unusual decision to come and speak with her and explain the situation and make his apologies."

The court was told Campbell became upset and demanded to know where her bag was and started using her mobile phone. Meanwhile the captain began to go through her options with her.

Miss Parrish said: "To say that this process was difficult would be something of an understatement. Miss Campbell made no attempt to listen to him and talked over him, stating: ’I don’t want to hear’."

The model was then heard to say on her phone: "They have lost my f****** bags, get me another flight, get the press, get me my lawyer."

The court heard Campbell continued to shout at Capt Sutherland, saying: "I can’t believe you have lost my f****** bag. Bring me my f****** bags now."

Miss Parrish said: "She instructed him to personally get off the aircraft and get her bag and show it to her. The captain explained this wasn’t going to happen. He repeatedly tried to take control of the situation and asked if he could get a word in."

The magistrates were told that when Capt Sutherland tried to explain her options, Campbell snapped: "How dare you tell me what my options are? You are not leaving until you find my f****** bags."

As the captain walked away Campbell shouted after him: "You are a racist, you wouldn’t be doing this if I was white."

The court was told a cabin services director and a BA special operative trained to deal with difficult situations were called to the aircraft but had little success.

Miss Parrish said: "Miss Campbell was clearly upset and explained to them the reason why this was so awful for her was that she was contracted to wear a particular Yves Saint Laurent outfit on a US chat show and it was in the bag that hadn’t been loaded."

She told the court that Campbell again began to shout and swear and was told that her language was unacceptable and there were families and children on board.

A spokeswoman for British Airways said today: "We take all cases of disruptive behaviour extremely seriously and take action where appropriate. We have banned people from travelling with us in the past and we reserve the right to ban passengers."

BA would not comment specifically on the Campbell case, but it is understood that the supermodel has been banned by the airline.

Naomi Campbell is going bald

Supermodel Naomi Campbell probably won’t be advertising any hair products these days, since it appears the model is going bald.

In a photo obtained by CelebTV.com, the fiery supermodel appears to be losing her weave. In the picture, she exposes a dramatically receding hairline as she leaves the New York restaurant Cipriani.

Recently, a former photographer who worked with Campbell told the U.K.’s The Sun that her hair has been falling out for years.

“That’s been happening for a while. The hair stylist Sam McKnight said to me in the ‘90s, ‘She’d better be careful with those weaves, she’s going to lose her hair,’” the fashion photographer told the paper.

The 38-year-old supermodel was charged last month with assaulting two police officers during an alleged luggage rage incident at Heathrow Airport.

She was recently photographed with a new beau that British papers identify as a Brazilian businessman.
