British supermodel NAOMI CAMPBELL has offered KATE MOSS her support amid rumours of a split with rocker JAMIE HINCE - and insists she is “lucky” to be friends with the fellow model.
Campbell is full of praise for Moss, promising to be there for her “best friend” whenever she has any problems.
She says, “I am so lucky to have friends like Kate, who are there for me whatever.
“Even if we are not on the same continent we support each other. That’s what best friends do.
“I’m there for her, without a doubt, if she’s going through relationship problems or any troubles. We’ve been through so much together.”

Just three weeks after being sentenced to 200 hours of community service for assaulting two police officers, supermodel Naomi Campbell wants the world to know she’s “not a bad person.”
Campbell gave an emotional interview to the Daily Mirror to refute the media’s portrayal of the 38-year-old as a diva with a bad attitude.
“I’m not a bad person. When people say all these negative things about me, I ignore them,” she said. “Let them be negative - but do that away from me. It hurts but I know there is much more good in the world.
“I’m blessed to be able to do charitable work and good things but no one focuses on that because I don’t throw it in people’s faces.”
Most people, however, might consider Campbell’s long history of outbursts and reports of violence to be more convincing than a teary-eyed interview.
Here’s a recap of her timeline of trouble:
* June 2000: Campbell’s personal assistant Vanessa Frisbee accused the model of attacking her.
* August 2004: One of Campbell’s maids accuses the model of kicking, scratching and slapping her.
* March 2005: The leggy model reportedly beat her assistant with her Blackberry. (Campbell denied it.)
* January 2006: Campbell was sentenced to five days of community service for misdemeanor assault after she threw her cell phone at her housekeeper for reportedly taking her jeans. The housekeeper is said to have needed four stitches to patch up the wounds.
* July 2006: Several former employees filed lawsuits against the catwalker for physical and mental abuse. She was also arrested later in the month for creating a disturbance outside of her ex-boyfriend’s house after trying to get some of her things returned.

One day “Project Runway” was in — the crown jewel of Bravo’s television lineup and the next… it was out — snatched away by competing network, Lifetime Television. But host and co-creator Heidi Klum has her Pradas firmly planted with Bravo for the show’s upcoming fifth season that has fans longing to find the next “fierce” fashionista.
Despite the impending network switch, Klum tells Entertainment Weekly that she’s all about season five of “Project Runway,” which will debut on Bravo July 16.
“We’re totally focused on the show — on the challenges, the drama,” Klum told the mag. “I’m not already with one foot over at Lifetime. Both of my feet are here, and I’m concentrating on making a beautiful show.”

Justin Timberlake “never really wanted” to be the face of his clothing line, William Rast, according to WWD. But the label’s higher-ups managed to talk him into starring in the latest campaign for its first full collection:
“We came up with this idea for him to play a role as this guy named William Rast,” [creative director] Johan Lindeberg said. “So it isn’t meant to be Justin, it’s Justin playing a role, as an actor. When we explained the idea, he instantly loved it and got really into building the profile of this character.”
In fact, Justin plays this William Rast character in a series of short Internet movies called “My Name Is William Rast” debuting at williamrastmovie.com later this month. In them William Rast is a rebel who runs from the police with Birdie, his lady friend, played by model Erin Wasson. The couple wears head-to-toe William Rast and apparently have committed some mysterious crime. As they flee the police they stop from time to time for “steamy make-out sessions,” eventually dashing into the forest together as gunshots go off in the background.
Hm. It sounds like the injury Wasson suffered shooting this campaign just might have been worth it.

A 25-year-old-supermodel has had her smile fixed by a Derby dentist as a part of a television documentary.
Sophia Cahill was filmed having her teeth straightened, whitened and perfected by dentists Tony Taunk and Aneu Sood.
The Sky programme, called In Pursuit of Perfection, shows celebrities changing the parts of their bodies they’re disappointed with.
Sophia, a former Miss Wales, was unhappy with her teeth and decided to go to Oakwood Dental Centre for help.
Miss Cahill said: ‘I’ve never been that comfortable with my smile and, when I was approached to do the film, that was the part that I wanted to change.
‘I am so impressed with the results. It looks completely fabulous.
‘As I sat in the chair over three different sessions, I was really nervous but the dentists were great and I couldn’t believe it when they said they had finished.’
The 25-year-old has appeared in a number of magazines, including Nuts, Maxim and FHM and got to the final of Miss World 2000 when she was only 17.
Now she is leaving the glamour life and moving on to commercial modelling and advertising products.
She said: ‘It is a totally different market to glamour shots and hard to break into, so hopefully my new whiter smile will open a few doors for me.’

Newly engaged couple Adriana Lima and Marko Jaric hold hands as they arrive at LAX on Monday.
Back in March, Marko shot down rumors that he’d been spotted shopping for an engagement ring, but never ruled out marriage.
Last month, Jaric, 29, and Lima, 27, officially announced they were engaged. Jaric had said that he is “not the person to fall in love easily,” but that, “Now, that’s a little different situation.”
Jaric was recently traded on draft day to the Memphis Grizzlies in a blockbuster deal.
