Naomi Campbell on Italy’s version of Dancing with the Stars


Naomi Campbell has for once been praised for something she’s done – apart from the ability to look sulky and tall in a designer dress. She’s appeared on the Italian version of Dancing With The Stars and actually impressed the judges.

The 37-year-old — who has been much-maligned for a spate of temper tantrums — received an impressive 33 out of 40 for her opening turn on the show.

Campbell took to the floor in a sparkling two-piece gold outfit and energetically danced the salsa to Zucchero’s Baila Morena.

The London-based model showed no discomfort from a neck injury sustained earlier in the week while rehearsing with partner Alessandro Camerotto.

Campbell was reportedly paid nearly $115,000 to join the series.

Naomi is lucky she can remember the dance moves though – since she seems to have forgotten her modelling career, claiming that fashion magazines discriminate against her because she’s black.

The British beauty made the blunder after she claimed to have never appeared on the cover of the style bible at New York’s Blacks in Fashion event recently.

She says, “I’ve never been on the cover of British Vogue and I’ve asked a million times and they’ve always refused me. They’ll put the same white model for half the year – I swear like six times – but wouldn’t put me on once in my own country.”

Naomi, you’ve been on the cover of British Vogue eight times. Eight. That might have not been eight consecutive months, and three times you shared the cover with others, but that is a lot of Vogue covers to forget. Once it was with P. Diddy, and he’s not a man who likes to be forgotten. I’m sure you’ve hurt his ego terribly.
