Naomi Campbell is "not a role model"

The supermodel has revealed that she feels uncomfortable being portrayed as a role model. Disregarding the frankly baffling idea that anyone thought of the phone throwing, (alleged) blood diamond accepting woman as a role model in the first place, we rather applaud Campbell's candid admission of her many "mistakes" and are relieved to see that she at least does not view herself as a paradigm for others to live up to.

Campbell recently celebrated 25 years of modelling, at a bash that featured a star-studded guestlist, and a posse of models wearing t-shirts with famous Campbell photographs emblazoned on them.

Bieber pitch

What’s more scary than Justin Bieber, the fact the shops already have Christmas displays up, and life-like dolls?

 

You guessed it: all three terrifying proposals personified in one, small, singing figurine.

Yup, Bieber-fever has reached new highs (lows?), with news in that JB is to get his own toy and doll line, which is set to be released just in time for Christmas.

Dressed in the 16-year-old’s signature ‘casuals’, the dolls can play 30 second clips of Bieber's songs Baby or One Less Lonely Girl, and cost $28 for the singing figures. 

From his holiday in South Africa, Bieber tweeted this morning: ‘Another amazing day... pet a cheetah...check it off the bucket list. wow,'

We hate to admit it, but “check it off the bucket list” is DEFINITELY a phrase that deserves to be used far, far more frequently.

GaGa makes a deal with Armani

Lady Gaga and Italian fashion designer Georgio Armani have struck a deal that the Italian label will produce the costumes for the singer's December tour. The outfits will, apparently, be custom-made for Gaga, the first time any star has chosen a piece not from an existing collection.

Gaga's theatrical costumes are half the entertainment really, so we're looking forward to seeing what Georgio can come up with!

Katona v Deacon? Style war of the century? Er...

Here’s a sentence we never thought we’d write: Kerry Katona is reportedly to be following in the footsteps of Giles Deacon.

Coke quaffing Kerry, according to The Daily Star, is planning to launch her own clothing range for New Look.

A source close to Kezza told the paper: "She is ecstatic to be working on a clothing line.

"She never used to have any confidence in her dress sense and used to just throw outfits together.

"But she's over the moon with her new sexy, sophisticated look and has really got into fashion."

It’s funny, as we’d have no confidence either if our outfits veered precariously between those modeled on the Jeremy Kyle couch and page three attire, all accessorized with the manic grin of a Warrington loon.

Kerry is said to be in "advance talks" with the retailer about putting her name to a casual collection and also - in a phrase surely only ever used by someone’s aunty - some ‘glitzy party wear’.

The insider continued: "She wants her collection to be very real.

"She's hoping to design some comfy but trendy clobber for busy mums to wear on the school run.

"New Look is perfect for Kerry because it's High Street and not too dear. She can't wait to get stuck in and get her clothes on the shelves."

Frankly, we can think of better adjectives than ‘High Street’ and ‘not too dear’ to describe KK…

Jordan's careless talk costs legal fees

You’d think that someone as shrewd as Katie Price would know better than to do something illegal whilst driving possibly the most conspicuous vehicle in the world, (bar, perhaps, a Batmobile with a glittery penis for a bumper) -  a humungous pink horse box.

Ms Jordan/Price/Reid faced the court today on allegations that she caused two other vehicles to move away as she drifted into their lane on the A23 in West Sussex on February 19, having been seen using her mobile whilst driving.

Jords was seen by police using a mobile phone while driving a large pink horsebox, a court heard today.

The Daily Mail reports today that prosecutors said the 32-year-old glamour model was seen on the phone for two to three seconds by two officers after they drove alongside her in a patrol vehicle following the 'careless' manoeuvre.

In an almost Hilton-worthy defence, she denied using a mobile phone and told the officer she had been spraying perfume.

She denies not being in proper control of a vehicle.

 

Blow jobs? economics? It’s all French to me….

In a brilliant faux-pas, French MEP and former Justice Minister Rachida Dati has been forced to issue a public apology after confusing oral sex with inflation on national radio.

The 44-year-old blunderer - frequently nicknamed ‘Rachida Barbie’ due to her dodgy grasp of complex political issues - was speaking on Europe 1 radio station yesterday.

Perhaps understandably, she slipped up somewhat while being questerions about ‘overseas investment funds profiteering during a period of economic uncertainty’.

She hilariously quipped, ‘I see some of them looking for returns of 20 or 25 per cent, at a time when fellatio is almost non-existent.’

Apologising for the hugely embarrassing slip on her Facebook site, Miss Dati said: ‘This kind of thing happens if you speak too quickly on this kind of programme.’

One track mind, praps?

Lohan corner: on the hard stuff

Here at Being Boiled, we can never get enough of Lilo’s tumultuous, chemically enhanced Skins-gone-bad lifestyle.

So imagine our delight when our no.1 hangover accompaniment, the News of the World, dedicated  many a column inch to her apparent heroin dabblings.

Yesterday, the paper printed a series of pictures which appear to show the Mean Girls star and poster girl for delinquency apparently injecting heroin.

Their images show Lilo wrapping a tourniquet around her lower arm as her right hand hovers the needle over the skin of her left arm.

In other pics, she shares a cheeky snog with party loving pouter Paris Hilton.

Lilo, 24, was retuned to jail this week for a third time, but was released on Saturday following her 15 hours behind bars after posting £190,000 bail.

Speaking about the pictures, believed to have been taken in 2007, the News of the World’s source says, "What no one knows for certain is just how often Lindsay does drugs - or exactly which drugs she does.

"Lindsay has made no secret of her drug addiction. People are used to seeing her off her head."

Lindsay recently Tweeted: "Substance abuse is a disease which doesn't go away overnight. I'm working hard to overcome it. I did fail my recent drug test. I'm prepared to face the consequences."
