Has The Derangement of Naomi Campbell finally been put to rest? After allegedly attacking her limo driver on Tuesday, Naomi spent most of Tuesday evening and Wednesday hiding from the police. Then, suddenly, the cops announced that they were no longer looking for her, and the limo driver announced that he wasn't going to press charges against Naomi - after he told the cops that Naomi has punched and slapped the back of his head while he was driving. Now, to make a strange situation even worse, the limo driver is now apologizing! And Naomi even released a smug "I told you I didn't smack that bitch" statement. We're through the looking glass on this one:
The driver who accused supermodel Naomi Campbell of assaulting him said Thursday through his lawyer that he “got angry and overreacted” and regrets involving the police.
“”I had an argument with Naomi Campbell. I got angry and overreacted. I regret involving the police. This whole thing has been blown out of proportion and I apologize to Ms. Campbell for causing that to happen,” driver Miodrag Mejdina said.
Mejdina told police Tuesday that Campbell hit him from behind and his head struck the steering wheel of the car, causing bruising under his right eye. He pulled over in midtown Manhattan and got out to speak to a traffic agent, who alerted police. Campbell was not at the scene when officers arrived, police said.
Police consulted with the Manhattan district attorney’s office and issued a harassment report, which doesn’t carry any penalty, because no officer witnessed what took place between the driver and Campbell. The 27-year-old Mejdina decided not to press charges.
Campbell, whose feisty temper has led to previous legal troubles, issued a statement saying she was pleased that Mejdina had apologized and that she wanted to move on.
“I have worked very hard on correcting my previous wrongdoings and I will not be held hostage to my past,” she said. "I am pleased the driver has apologized. I would like to put the last few days behind me and move on.”
Campbell, 39, has faced a series of Lawsuits and criminal cases accusing her of attacking her household employees and two police officers at London’s Heathrow Airport. She pleaded guilty in the Heathrow case in June 2008 after prosecutors said she cursed, kicked and spat at police in a rage over a missing piece of luggage; she was sentenced to 200 hours of Community Service.
She also did a week of Community Service sweeping floors and scrubbing toilets in a Manhattan garbage-truck garage in 2007 after pleading guilty to misdemeanor assault for hurling a cell phone at her maid because of a vanished pair of jeans.
In 2000, Campbell pleaded guilty in Toronto to an assault charge for beating an assistant who said the model whacked her on the head with a phone. A few of Campbell’s former aides and maids have sued her, accusing her of violent outbursts; some cases have been settled on undisclosed terms. Campbell, of Britain, became one of the world’s highest-paid models after being discovered at age 15.

You know what this reminds me of? Back in 2006, when our then esteemed Vice President Cheney shot an old man in the face, and the old man apologized to Cheney! The dude's name was Harry Whittington, and after he got out of the Hospital - with Cheney's buckshot still embedded in his damn face - Mr. Whittington apologized for what had happened. I'm still not clear if Whittington was apologizing for his face messing up the Veep's shot, or if he was apologizing because the Veep would shank him in a defibrillated heartbeat, or what. Anyway, I always thought that the Cheney family slid Whittington some money for that apology, and I think the same thing in this situation. My guess is that Naomi "donated" some money to the limo driver with the agreement that no charges would be filed and a nice little public apology would be made.

Back in 2006, Snipes was brought up on enough tax-related charges to keep a fleet of IRS agents busy for years: conspiracy to defraud the U.S. government, aiding and abetting the making of a fraudulent claim for payment and willfully failing to file a number of tax returns. He was acquitted on all felony counts but found guilty on several misdemeanor charges and sentenced to three years in jail; he is currently appealing, and is out on bail and free to travel for work. But one of Hollywood's...
