Supermodel Naomi Campbell was arrested at Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5 Thursday for allegedly spitting at a police officer, Sky News television reported. 
A London Metropolitan Police spokesman said a woman was arrested at the terminal for an assault on police, but refused to disclose her identity or give her age. The spokesman spoke on condition of anonymity in line with force policy. BAA PLC, the company that runs Heathrow, did not immediately return a call seeking comment Thursday. British Airways PLC, the terminal's sole occupant, referred questions to BAA.
Campbell, a British fashion model, has a history of getting physical with assistants and employees, and has attended an anger management program. In 2000, Campbell pleaded guilty in Toronto to an assault charge for beating an assistant while making a film in Canada in 1998. Under an agreement with prosecutors, Campbell expressed remorse and was released without punishment or a criminal record. In January 2007, Campbell pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault for throwing her mobile phone at her maid in a dispute over a missing pair of jeans. A representative for Campbell could not immediately be located. | | No comments for this item |

 Reuters NEW YORK (Reuters) - The personal belongings of legendary soul singer James Brown, including his instruments, awards, furniture and memorabilia will be sold at auction this summer, Christie's said on Wednesday. Brown, known as the "Godfather of Soul" whose hits included "Living in America," "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag" and "I Got You (I Feel Good)," died aged 73 on Christmas Day 2006 of congestive heart failure. "Widely regarded as one of the greatest musical legends of the 20th century, (Brown's) enormous talent and innovative style are responsible for influencing generations of singers and songwriters, and capturing the hearts of music lovers everywhere," Simeon Lipman, Christie's head of popular culture in New York said in a statement. Brown's estate has been the subject of much dispute and legal wrangling since his death, involving members of his large family including several adult children as well as ex-girlfriends and ex-wives. Court-appointed trustees for his estate, variously reported to be worth between $100 million and $200 million, filed lawsuit in South Carolina in February against Brown's business managers, a law firm and a bank, alleging fraud had been conspired against the singer.
The sale in late July will also include photographs. | | No comments for this item |
