Naomi, 38, had come to the volcanic island of Lipari, just off the coast of Sicily, with BF Mikhail Prokhorov. Paparazzo Gaetano Di Giovanni says he suffered a scratched eye and bruises after the volatile catwalk queen hit him with her handbag, The Daily Star reports.

“First she hit with her bag, screaming at me and then she tried to slap me,” the photog says.

“I managed to avoid her – but her nails still got my eye. For a few seconds I could not see a thing. I could hear that her bodyguards and her boyfriend were trying to drag her away.”

Naomi’s spokeswoman said the accusations were “completely untrue.”

Speaking of Naomi Campbell: The supermodel’s first Bollywood venture, Karma, Confessions, & Holi, has bombed badly at the box office in India, with critics describing the flick — filmed in New York and Princeton, New Jersey — as lacking “everything a good movie consists of,” “undignified,” “disaster,” “unholy mix,” “unholy mess,” and “torture.”

Ouch. Tough room.

Now Hindu religious leaders have taken aim at the film, which was directed by Manish Gupta and co-produced by Robert De Niro’s daughter Drena.

Rajan Zed, the president of Universal Society of Hinduism, tells WENN, “Hindus have strongly objected to the usage of Hindu terminology in movies and Karma, Confessions and Holi has nothing much to do with karma or Holi.

“Hindus welcome world filmmakers making films about Hindu subjects but taking Hinduism seriously and respectfully and not reimagining its concepts and symbols just for mercantile greed. Holi and karma have definite meaning for devotees, and improper usage of such terms is not OK.”

The supermodel is the face of one of five different flavors of D&G’s new fragrance- 3 L’Imperatrice, which smells of watermelon, kiwi, pink cyclamen, and musk.

Naomi Campbell is hanging up her heels for good after 25 years of strutting her stuff on the catwalk.
The volatile supermodel has announced plans to retire from runway modeling because she is anxious to settle down and start a family.

“It’ll be 25 years next year. In terms of fashion shows, I don’t really see myself doing every show everywhere,” the 38-year-old says. “I’m a woman and I’d like to be a mother one day.”

Naomi Campbell dishes on all the fun ways a cellphone can be turned into a deadly weapon in the May issue of Giant Magazine, on newsstands now.

Naomi Campbell believes the modeling industry gives preference to “blond, blue-eyed models.”

(Hello, Captain Obvious!)

“You know, the American President may be black, but as a black woman, I am still an exception in this business,” Naomi says in the new issue of Glamour Magazine Germany.

The volatile supermodel, a longtime critic of racism in the fashion industry, says she has to work twice as hard to be treated equally on the catwalk because of the color of her skin.

“I always have to work harder to be treated equally. In the past, there were more opportunities for black models but the trend towards blond women has again become extreme. In magazines, on the catwalk, I see blond, blue-eyed models everywhere.”

Naomi Campbell is on her way to starring in a Bollywood movie after the crazed catwalk maven wowed casting directors during her appearance at the Fashion For Relief fundraiser in Mumbai last week.

The British supermodel has been invited to return to India to audition for her first major film role in a Bollywood feature.

A source tells The Mirror: “Naomi had never modeled in India before but she loved every minute. At the end of the show, two well-known Bollywood producers approached her and asked if she’d be interested in screen testing.”

“Naomi was incredibly flattered and plans to come back to Mumbai for more talks whenever she next has a break in her schedule.”

Naomi Campbell is set to be the new face of Dolce & Gabbana.

Well-dressed spies say the volatile supermodel is on the verge of inking a $2 million with the Italian fashion house.

“They have a relationship that spans decades and now the plan is for Naomi to be their official muse and ambassador. She will be at the shows and will star in their worldwide advertising campaigns.”

Naomi Campbell is about to launch her first fashion line in Brazil.

The volatile catwalk maven will center her focus on creating stunning two-pieces and other ensembles for flocking around in the sand.

“I’ve started my own fashion range in Brazil. It’s bathing suits and apparel, so it’s not really like fashion or Dolce Gabbana. It’s more like easy [wear].”

“She is here today working, making a video that they can put on their screens inside the mission,” a shelter spokesman said Thursday.
