The birthday boy himself, Nelson Mandela, intervened this week when he asked organizers of his 90th birthday celebration to ensure Naomi Campbell does not appear on stage with him during this event. He informed that the she must be taken off of the line-up immediately.
Mandela met with the Queen of England today at Buckingham Palace. He made his decision regarding Campbell after she was fined and sentenced to 200 hours' community service last week for assaulting two police officers on a BA flight at Heathrow in April.
A source close to the event said: 'The man himself intervened and she was pulled off the list. He was disappointed with her recent arrest - particularly as she was wearing a 46664 baseball cap at the time. This was Mr Mandela's prison number-during his 27-year sentence and now promotes his AIDS awareness campaign.
The source added: 'Naomi was slated to introduce some of the acts on stage as she has done with 46664 concerts in the past, but she has been informed that this time she can only sit in the grandstand.' The model, who calls Mr Mandela her 'honorary grandfather', has been deeply involved with his charity.
See, this is the -ish that needs to happen. Start stripping these stars of the little stuff that means a whole lot to them. I bet they asses would straighten up then. But again... I forget who we're talking about; Someone who feels that you should -ish and piss when she says so.
