• Naomi Campbell apologized for assaulting security guards at London’s Heathrow Airport in April, but she’s not backing down from her beef with British Airways, accusing the airline of racism. “I was called a racial name on that flight,” claimed Campbell, insisting that her nasty behavior “was part of my reaction.” British Airways countered, “We are proud of our diversity. We fly to 90 different countries around the world and employ a multi-nationality work force.
