I think we all know that community service means one thing in the US for "everyday people" and another for celebrities, but it also looks like it extends to the UK as well.
Naomi Campbell reported for her first day of community service for the airplane incident which would have got the rest of us thrown into jail. Anyway, she showed up in a limo ten minutes late, and spent her time helping with paperwork and signing autographs and taking photos. The rest of the people there for community service were assigned cleaning tasks, janitorial work, and other typical, grueling chores.
According to the Mirror, Naomi seemed ticked that she was being asked to do any kind of work. Apparently paper dries her skin out and she thought she was going to be able to sit around and just tell people why she was sorry and then show everyone how to apply makeup and seduce a guy who will spend $5M on you.
Why is it that people are afraid to treat a celebrity like a regular person? What the hell is Naomi Campbell going to do if you tell her she has to scrub the toilets? Is she going to say no? Fine. Let her say no and then send her ass to jail where she belongs. Are you afraid she is going to throw something at you? Come on. Stand up. Don't be a kiss ass. Make her do the same thing you make all of the other people do. Don't let her sit in a comfy office doing some filing just so maybe she will remember how nice you were to her and she will send you a Christmas Car or invite you to a party. She doesn't even know your name. She doesn't care about you longer than you can help her. Get it through your head. The rich Russian dude? If the government takes his money, Naomi is going to stop taking his calls.
I'm not asking you to have her do worse things than the average person, although for a day or two it wouldn't be bad. Just treat her like every other person. If you keep getting on your knees for her, then what is the lesson she learned? That she will have to spend 200 hours being fawned over by people like you. Make her scrub toilets for 200 hours and maybe she won't yell at cops on a plane anymore.
'the airplane incident'. is she the answer to the blind the other day?
ReplyDeleteEnty, I think it's cute that you still rage against this when you must see it almost every day. :)
ReplyDeleteProbably if they were to make her work the community service like anybody else instead of giving her easy task she might (I said might) be more humble.
ReplyDeleteWhat if they just take away her hair?
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Ent. She'll just keep on having these outbursts until someone has the balls to put her in her place.
ReplyDeleteWhy not have her restrained to a chair and forced to watch The Tyra Show & Americas Next Top Model non-stop for a couple of days?
Damn, that dude is hot.
