Naomi Campbell: Snapshot

Name: Naomi Campbell
Birth Date: May 22, 1970
Birth Place: London, England

For all of her accomplishments, model Naomi Campbell will best be remembered for making a Blackberry an assault weapon. In 2007, after years of court battles over her temper, the supermodel performed five days of community service – decked out in couture – for throwing her jewel-encrusted phone at her former maid.

Within two years of being discovered in London, the British stunner became the first black model to grace the cover of British Vogue. Then, in 1992, designer Gianni Versace sent Campbell – alongside Christy Turlington and Linda Evangelista – down his catwalk and the supermodel phenomenon was born. The gorgeous model has had her pick of rich and famous boyfriends, including Mike Tyson, Robert De Niro, and Usher.
