Naomi Campbell's Oprah Appearance: A recap

Astunning, soon-to-be-40-years-old (she turns 40 May 22nd), Naomi Campbell was the guest on Oprah show today. She spoke on several issues including, keeping fit, her famous temper, and her life in Russia.

Both Naomi's mother and boyfriend Vladimir were in the audience. He has been separated from his wife for over ten years and according to Naomi she the wife and the daughter are friends. Oprah was like "Ya'll don't get divorces in Russia?" that was some funny ish. Her boyfriend is a great influence on her fitness and approach to eating. When she was shown in the gym she said she was on the 6th day of the mastercleanse diet. She's done it for 18 days straight and tries to do it three times a year. I've done it once before for 9 days and this year I've done it for a week. It works, while you on it anyways...lol.

Oprah asked her about her fits of anger:

Oprah:Are you just a petulant diva, and if you don't get things your own way you feel you have the right to throw things?

Naomi: I think it comes from a deeper place than that with me. It comes from another type of emotional disorder, because it's not just, 'I don't get what I want. I throw,'" says Campbell. "It comes from, I think, an abandonment issue, and it comes from also just trying to build up a family around me that's not my immediate family. And if I feel a mistrust, then I really just...all my cards go down.

Oprah: Whether it's a cab driver or somebody on a plane or your own housekeeper and you don't get immediately what you want, you said you see red.

Naomi: Yes.

Oprah: And then what?

Naomi: Then I don't see.

Oprah: You just act.

Naomi: I act out.

After having an outburst, Naomi says she immediately regrets her actions.

"I feel remorseful. I feel ashamed. I feel for them," she says. "[I think,] 'What have I done to them?' If I've hurt them."

At the end of their talk, O had her sign the "No Phone Throwing" pledge as well as the "No Phone Zone" pledge.

Ash forces Nas and Damian Marley to cancel London show

The Nas and Damian Marley show in London has been canceled as a result of the shutdown on flights in the U.K.



However, travel restrictions have been lifted and flights began landing again in the U.K. on Tuesday night (April 20). The volcanic ash from Iceland closed U.K. airspace for six days, and across Europe more than 95,000 flights were canceled.

The TCO-promoted Nas and Damian Marley Show at the Electric Ballroom has been canceled, though. They have collaborated on the "Distant Relatives" (Island) album, out May 17. Tickets will be valid for the July 20 London Hammersmith show.

Melissa Auf der Maur had to cancel shows last weekend in Oslo and London, where she had a sold-out date at Cargo. But she has been traveling across sea and land to make a newly-booked date at London Jazz Café today (April 21). There is also an April 21 screening of the film accompanying the new album, "Out Of Our Minds" (Roadrunner), and a Q&A at London's ICA.

LCD Soundsystem had to pull its Dublin dates but the act said on Twitter "we will make it to London." They traveled from L.A. to Spain and will continue to the U.K. for April 23 at Brixton Academy.

Other acts have been unable to make shows in Europe. Swedish act Nina Kinert and U.K. band Delphic both canceled French shows, and Bobby McFerrin pulled his April 18 Paris gig, which is rescheduled for May 3.

U.K. singer-songwriter Newton Faulkner has been stuck in Hong Kong. His April 21 Paris show has been postponed to June 14.
