Naomi Campbell: Don’t Call Me a Supermodel

May 20th, 2008

Naomi Campbell as an advocate for political correctness? At least if you’re an international beauty icon.
Naomi is standing up for beautiful women everywhere and trying to put a stop to the term supermodel, according to an appearance on this Ugly Betty podcast (promoting the show’s season finale this Thursday).
“It’s a term we don’t particularly like,” says Campbell, pointing out that the preferred nomenclature among good-looking women who are paid to promote stuff is “working model.”
Too bad no one asked her what she thinks of the term diva.
