She claims that the pictures infringed on her personal privacy - despite the report being confirmed as correct. Naomi, who strutted her stuff on the catwalk at Jaspers Conran’s LFW show earlier this week, is likely to cite the Data Protection Act in her defence. By Hannah Mills

Model party - 22/05/03
Streatham born supermodel Naomi Campbell has just turned 33 and to celebrate, she is throwing a St Tropez circus party for 100 of her closest friends.
I didn’t know she had that many friends! The model notorious for her temper tantrums is staging the lavish bash at the Nikki Beach resort in St Tropez this weekend.
Guests expected include Bono, Harvey Weinstein, Macy Gray, Wesley Snipes, serial model dater Prince Albert of Monaco, Linda Evangelista, Donatella Versace, Ivana Trump and Valentino.
Naomi has insisted that all her guests must wear white. The party will also include a midnight performance of the Cirque de Soleil courtesy of Naomi’s new boyfriend, Guy Laliberte, who invented the Euro circus fest. My how the other half live!
Comic strip - 07/05/03
Naomi Campbell’s first role as an actress will be as a stripper in a comedy US show.
She has been asked to appear alongside Drea De Matteo from The Soprano’s in Go Go Tales - a funny look at a New York strip club. Sounds hilarious so far huh?
If the pilot show is a hit, then they will make the film into a series and Naomi will be sure to have a starring role. Or is that a starring pole?
Model behaviour - 18/03/03
Naomi Campbell has been making herself unpopular again...
The supermodel has moved into Trump International Hotel in New York and has been throwing tantrums with the doormen upsetting other guests.
A fed-up neighbour whispered, "She yelled at one guy the other day because her mail wasn’t properly bundled. No one here can stand her."
Enough Already! - 11/02/03
In the long drawn out battle of Ms Campbell vs The Daily Mirror, we have yet another courtroom drama.
The Supermodel is trying to win back damages against her that were awarded to The Daily Mirror. The original argument is that the Daily Mirror reported that she had visited a Narcotics Anonymous meeting, while Naomi claimed that this breeched her privacy.
She sued the Mirror, and then won, but the case was overturned and then The Mirror won, and I guess this must be round three.
Word of advice Naomi, we’d all forget about this case a lot quicker should you stop mentioning it.

She was raised by her grandparents since her mother, the ambitious Valerie, was making her way around the world with an exotic dance troupe. At 13, precocious Naomi started at the Italia Conti stage school. Two years later she was ’discovered’ in Covent Garden by a modelling scout.
Recently, she has been seeking anger therapy - her American agency fired her on the grounds that she was ’unbearable’ and published the following statement: ’No amount of money or prestige could further justify the abuse she has imposed on our staff and clients.’ She recently pleaded guilty to assaulting her assistant with the mobile phone she normally keeps clamped to her ear. Naomi had a top 10 hit with Babywoman in Japan and has a reputation for being always late.
She has been romanced by a string of men including Mike Tyson, Robert De Niro, Joaquin Cortes and was rumoured to have had a fling with Joseph Fiennes. She is currently dating Italian millionaire Flavio Briatore.
As well as modelling and a stab at a music career she has also penned a novel entitled Swan (1995) and has appeared in the film Pret-a-Porter, she also appeared in an episode of Absolutely Fabulous and once was a pupil in Grange Hill. Naomi has also just launched her own perfume. She also has an apartment in Chelsea. (written 2001)
