We reckon Naomi Campbell is more superwoman than supermodel these days – after her jet-set birthday surprise for her billionaire boyfriend Vladislav Doronin.
Naomi, 39, chartered a private jet to fly them to Morocco to surprise Russian real estate entrepreneur Vlad for his birthday.
She pulled out all the stops to design a lifesize sports themed cake with a boxing ring, race cars and rackets on it, which ran circles around the cakes for Simon Le Bon and Gerard Butler also celebrating their birthdays.
Arriving at 3am on Saturday, Vlad, above, and Naomi partied until 1am the following morning, before boarding a jet to Abu Dhabi and then Tanzania for her charity work for the White Ribbon Alliance.
While in Morocco, Naomi told us: “This is the most romantic place, I love everything about it.
“I’m so busy and excited about the White Ribbon Alliance.
“And on top of that, Lewis Hamilton got pole today. Can you believe it? England all the way!” Phew…

Word from the South Shore is that supermodel mommy-to-be Gisele Bundchen has passed her written test and is one giant step closer to acquiring her helicopter license.
Gi, as we told you previously, has been taking chopper lessons down at Marshfield Airport for about two months. Word is, Mrs. Tom Brady [stats] wanted to find a way to shorten her commute between Boston, where the couple has set up housekeeping, and NYC, where many of her modeling assignments are.
Before she can be fully licensed, the FAA requires 20 hours of flight lessons with an instructor and then 10 hours of solo flight. An additional 10 hours of either dual or solo flying is required for pilot wannabes who don’t already have a certificate to fly airplanes.
Before Gisele can take her flight test, she had to pass the written exam, a multiple-choice test covering regulations, navigation and other aeronautical subjects. Bet she aced it!
“She is one of the best pilots I’ve seen in a long time,” Shoreline Aviation prez Keith Douglass told us.
Bundchen now has two years to pass her practical flying test, which consists of an oral evaluation, where she must demonstrate her aeronautical knowledge, followed by a flight test.
Gisele’s flight instructor, Stuart Matsumoto of Metropolitan Helicopter, had no comment, but with her bundle of joy due at Christmas, we’re thinking that Gi will try to get it done before the snow flies.
And speaking of Gi, (as we have been known to do), the Brazilian bombshell has been taking some heat from loyal fans over a youthful indiscretion – posing for some raaaaather risque photos that appear in her favorite photographer, Mario Testino’s, new book.
One of Mrs. Tom Brady’s loyal followers posted the pics on Gi’s fansite and they show a very young, bikini-clad Gi rolling around on a bed with a cute young guy in a bathing suit. (The guy, BTW, looks more than a little like her then-future hubby!)
But some Gisele fans say the pics make her look like a bit of a hussy! Interestingly, though, the negative comments were deleted from the fan site tout de suite . . . .
Gisele herself has acknowledged that she does things for Testino she wouldn’t do for anyone else. (Except, probably, Tom . . .)
“If someone else asked me to do some of the things Mario does, I would say ‘No way,’ ” Bundchen told The Sunday Times of London. “But Mario, with that clever way of his, is like ‘Ah Gisele . . .”’
Bundchen said the pics in question were snapped during an innocent visit to Testino’s hotel room after work one day.
“We were just hanging out when a friend of his, a young guy, stopped by and Mario asked if he could just take some quick snapshots of him with me. I was in my bathing suit, with no make-up on, and totally unprepared for a photo shoot, but it’s just so hard to say no. He snapped away for about 10 minutes. And the next thing I know, we’re doing some picture with my butt sticking out. What can I do? It’s hard to say no to him.”

MILES KANE has been nursing a monster hangover all week after supermodel girlfriend AGYNESS DEYN gave him the chop.
The LAST SHADOW PUPPETS rocker was devastated when Agyness told him she was too busy for a long-distance romance.
And heartbroken Miles has hit the bottle hard trying to blot it all out.
A source said: “Miles has taken it badly. Agyness tried to let him down as gently as she could.
“She explained that she didn’t want to carry on seeing him because she couldn’t devote enough time to him.
“She said that her modelling career had to come first at the moment and it wasn’t fair to Miles for him to be a poor second.
“With Aggy often in the States and Miles working in England, trying to keep a transatlantic relationship alive was difficult at the best of times.
“Aggy is constantly rushed off her feet so she had to end it before it got too serious.”
Top lad Miles snared the Lancashire lass in June after the pair met in London’s Punk nightclub.
And this week he hit another West End nightspot in a bid to find some solace.
He joined WILL YOUNG, members of ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN, EMBRACE’s DANNY McNAMARA and SUPER FURRY ANIMALS’ GRUFF RHYS at the launch of The Dirty Mac club night in Soho on Wednesday night, where he proceeded to get royally stuck in.
The source said: “Miles has been feeling really low, but a night out with friendly faces helped him.
“He sank a fair few jars and did an impressive amount of flirting and was pretty steaming by the end.”
I wonder what Aggy is up to.
She seems to be collecting indie rock scalps at the moment. It’s like a Who’s Who of top bands.
Previous conquests include THE STROKES’ guitarist ALBERT HAMMOND JR, THE PADDINGTONS’ JOSH HUBBARD and PHANTOM PLANET’s ALEX GREENWALD.
Who’s next?

Last night Heidi Klum held her tenth annual Halloween bash at Voyeur in Hollywood, and the supermodel/supermom and her hubby Seal dressed as crows. Time out … can you believeHeidi gave birth to her fourth child less than a month ago?! She’s looking absolutely amazing!
Anyway, I guess matching costumes were the thing to do this year … first Paris and Doug, Heidi and Seal, Eliza and Rick, and the list goes on! Of course, Heidi showed off her lovely legs, and while she looks fabulous, I don’t even want to know how many cotton balls and bottles of makeup remover she had to use later in the evening!
