Do you think Naomi Campbell might have some “anger” issues?

It looks like Ms. Naomi is having a lot of trouble managing her bi-polar problems. She’s obviously not getting sufficient help. I read an article in W magazine this Friday, 5/30/08 that clearly shows that things are really getting out of hand for the old girl. Who by the way is claiming to be the seasoned actress. Oh…..k! Well maybe she needs to focus on something other than beating people up and trying to proclaim her innocense all the time. It’s really ALL getting a bit old, somewhat like her don’t you think. At least old enough to know better. I just don’t understand what happens to celebrities when they do find fame and then they become so interested in being private people again. It’ hysterical. Why bother to begin with. Make up your minds, if there’s one still available and STOP the paranoia, life does offer many options. If you choose fame. Deal with it. Following is a copy of that W article:

NAOMI’S LATEST PICKLE: Naomi Campbell is in hot water again, this time across the pond. The British Crown Prosecution Service Thursday charged Campbell with six offenses linked to an alleged outburst last month on a flight from the new Terminal 5 at Heathrow Airport. The supermodel, whose charges could carry a maximum six-month jail sentence and fines, will be brought to trial at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court here on June 20.

Campbell was charged with three counts of assaulting a policeman, one count of disorderly conduct and two counts of using threatening behavior and abusive words to cabin crew. A dispute purportedly arose over lost Louis Vuitton luggage on a British Airways flight, from which Campbell was forcibly removed.

“Miss Campbell is bitterly disappointed that the prosecutors have advised her she is to be prosecuted for various offenses,” stated Campbell’s lawyer, Simon Nicholls. “She respects the decision and hopes this matter will be dealt with expeditiously.” The maximum sentence for Campbell’s alleged assault carries a six-month jail penalty and/or a fine of up to 5,000 pounds, or $9,850 at current exchange. The other counts each carry fines of up to 1,000 pounds, or $1,970.

This is not the first brush with the law for Campbell. Last year, the model served five days of community service in New York after pleading guilty to hitting her former maid with a cell phone in 2006, and in the same year she reportedly paid $400,000 to actress Yvonne Sciò to settle a dispute over an alleged assault out of court. Campbell also was arrested in London in 2006 for allegedly attacking her drug counselor, but British police did not press charges.

Dr. Renee Richards….in discussion at 72 years young!

After viewing a program this morning (4/29/2007 CBS Sunday Morning) with and about “Dr. Renee Richards“, the controversial Sex-Change Tennis player who made headlines in the 70s. I wondered once again. When are folks just gonna get over it? Is society ever going to make it ok to be who you ARE. Dr. Richards says that she believes, that even after her death, she will always be remembered as “the Transsexual Tennis Player“. I think she’s absolutely right about that, I am afraid to say. How powerful a legacy is that? And. How truely shallow of society to do that. Here we have a brilliant physician/surgeon, educator, writer and terrific athlete. Yet. She is still treated as the Guy who decided one day to be a Girl instead! Ms. Richards does not consider herself any sort of a pioneer or crusader. But. Somehow society has managed or decided for her, what her LEGACY shall be. What nerves we have…!
