Today in the world of Naomi Campbell, there is both good news and bad news.
The bad news first: the supermodel suffered a classic wardrobe malfunction last night, revealing more of her chest than she might have liked. After leaving the Toni&Guy show at London Fashion Week last night, Campbell had a slight nip slip while ducking into her car (and unfortunately for her, the Daily Mail‘s got the pics).
The good news: she may be engaged! Paired with her revealing black tuxedo-vest top, Campbell wore a giant diamond ring on her left hand, prompting Vogue UK to wonder aloud if the stunner is engaged to her boyfriend, Russian billionaire Vladislav Doronin.
The two have been dating since 2008 and live in Moscow together. There have been plenty of false “engaged!” alarms in the past, including this past April when the pair lit $82,000 worth of fireworks while vacationing in Greece.
But it’s still speculation, as Campbell did not confirm any rumors while chatting after last night’s fashion show.
Although it does get us thinking… we can only imagine a Campbell-billionaire wedding would rival Moss-stock in glitz and glam.
And of course, the million dollar question is: who will design the dress??
Johannesburg — Former Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund trustee Jeremy Ractliffe said on Wednesday he was never guilty of possession of uncut diamonds.
“As far as I was concerned I was innocent,” he told reporters after the Alexandra Magistrate’s Court in Johannesburg cleared him of the charge.
His wife Gail said she was very relived it was all over.
“My husband is a very good man.”
Ractliffe’s lawyer Nicholas Taitz said the State could not prove that diamonds were involved in the matter.
“The court is [of the] opinion that the State has not proved its case.
Mr Ractliffe, you are not guilty of this charge,” Magistrate Renier Boshoff told him.
Taitz said the State could not get a retrial, but could appeal.
An affidavit by a woman who evaluated the diamonds, Abigail Polohaha, was submitted by the State as evidence. However, Boshoff said the document was only valid if the person involved worked for the state.
Polohaha worked for the SA Diamond Board and therefore would have had to come to court to testify.
“You can’t cross-examine a statement,” Boshoff said.
State witness Lieutenant Colonel Eric Dewy testified Ractliffe handed the stones to police on August 5, 2010 at his home in Johannesburg.
The case was initially delayed due to technical problems on Wednesday.
“Is there anything in this place that is working?” Boshoff said when the transcribing machine stopped working. Eventually a lead was run from another office to the court.
On Monday Boshoff apologised to Ractliffe for the postponement caused by a power outage at the court.
International model Naomi Campbell testified at The Hague war crimes tribunal last year that she thought it was former Liberian president Charles Taylor who had given her a bag of diamonds, which, it was argued were “blood diamonds”. Campbell said she was given the uncut diamonds after a charity fund-raiser in South Africa in 1997, also attended by Taylor.
She said she handed the stones to Ractliffe, who at the time was the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund’s chief executive.
He said at the time he took and kept three small uncut diamonds so Campbell would not get into trouble. Ractliffe handed the stones to the police on the same day that Campbell testified at the war crimes tribunal.
Italian PM Berlusconi had an eye for Naomi Campbell's number at a G-20 meeting
Life seems to be getting even worse for Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi who is on course to stand trial for allegedly paying for sex with a minor. Now even the wife of a former world leader, is joining in the gossip.
The wife of former British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, says she once saw Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi chasing model Naomi Campbell for her phone number at an official dinner.
Mrs. Brown make this revelation in an interview with the Daily Mail published Saturday that she later joked about the episode with “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling. She did not specify exactly when it took place or whether Berlusconi succeeded in grabbing Naomi’s number.
Campbell attended an official banquet with Brown, Berlusconi and other world leaders during the 2009 G-20 summit in London.
Mr. Berlusconi is known for his go-for-it-all approach when it comes to beautiful women.
Naomi herself has been in the news over the past several months. The “dirty stones” or blood diamond allegedly given to Naomi Campbell by Charles Taylor, the former Liberian tyrant, have dominated his UN trial for crimes against humanity in Sierra Leone.
Mugabe hijacks Big Brother craze for political gain
Zimbabwe’s representative in Africa’s Big Brother reality TV show landed in second place, but took home a prize bigger than the official jackpot, a date from President Robert Mugabe’s family. Reports from Harare say the Zimbabwean loser was whisked away to State House to meet Mugabe immidiately he landed.
Uti Nwachukwu from Nigeria won the official 200,000-dollar prize from the show. The Big Brother reality show locks up contestants from around the continent in a house.
Munyaradzi Chidzonga just lost out to Uti received a 300,000-dollar cheque from President Robert Mugabe on Wednesday, $100, 000 more than the winner.
Mugabe, who probably did not watch the show, also declared the voting as ‘not free and fair’. Really?
Teachers and nurses are on strike every other week in Zimbabwe so one wonders whether this is not a misplaced priority.
Naomi Campbell’s Blood Diamon Tantrum
Naomi Campbell and Charles Taylor, the former Liberian Tyrant
During an interview with ABC news, Naomi Campbell was asked if the large diamond she had on was a Blood Diamond. Ms. Campbell, as expected, attacked the camera, slapping it out of the hands of the cameraman.
Naomi Campbell, the model
Even though Naomi is well known for her violent temper than her modeling talents, this time I guess she was right. Coincidentally, Ms. Campbell and Mia Farrow were in Africa raising money for relief in Haiti . On this, I’m on the side of Naomi, at least for once.
Charles Taylor, the former tyrant of Liberia is being investigated for genocide.
Naomi has been in African news for a while. When are we going to find out if she really got the diamond from Mr. Taylor?

WWJD (What will Jesus Do?) A Nigerian student is rewarded for his honesty
Durojaiye Adeyemi Job, a 30-year-old level 100 Higher National Diploma (HND) engineering student of The Polytechnic, Ibadan, Oyo State, found a whooping N9.3 billion in his Savings Account domiciled at the institution’s First Bank plc branch.
But rather than touch the money, in a rare display of honesty, he alerted the bank’s authority, won himself a scholarship, and was hosted to a reception at the Lagos headquarters of his church, Mountain of Fire and Miracles by the Overseer Dr. D.k. Olukoya,
Adeyemi explains exactly how the error happened.. “It all happened on Friday August 13, 2010. I was going back home for the weekend and decided to cash N2, 000 from my acct, out of the N3, 000 that I had there. I inserted my ATM card, the machine dispensed N2, 000. I re-entered my password to check my balance and saw a balance of N9.3 billion! I was surprised. To verify what I saw there, I had to re-insert the ATM card to withdraw N20, 000. An amount which was more than what I had there. To my utmost surprised, the machine dispensed the money. That shows that the money is real. I printed out the receipt and went home because the bank had already closed then. I kept the N20, 000 with me and on Monday Morning, I went to see the bank manager and narrated the whole story to her and returned the N20, 000.
First Bank explains error: It was a computer malfunctioning that enabled Mr. Adeyemi’s ATM Card access funds in one of the Bank’s internal accounts. This glitch was rectified within a few minutes. During that period, Mr Adeyemi was able to withdraw N20, 000 which is the maximum amount with-drawable for a single transaction. We all know that computers do malfunction. Stories of this nature abound globally. However First Bank has a very robust security measure in place that ensures security of our customer’s data and their funds.
The General Overseer of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries, MFM, Dr. Daniel Olukoya, has presented a brand new Toyota Corolla car, an undisclosed amount of money and a certificate of honesty to the Polytechnic student, Durojaye Adeyemi for his honesty
Nigerian student rewarded for his honesty
Dr. D.K. Olukoya said the church decided to reward him to show people that intergrity and honest still pay. He noted that Adeyemi’s action has portrayed him as a good ambassador of the church’s emphasis on holiness.
