Looks like Naomi Campbell went softer and more casual for the final day of her sentence at the NYC Depatrment of Sanitation. The 36-year-old supermodel, as you may recall, is doing community service for throwing a cell phone at an ex employee during an argument over a missing pair of jeans.

Ms. Campbell has been on time and sporting big smiles all week while arriving to serve her sentence, and why shouldn’t she? According to the celebrity gossip site TMZ, there might be more going on behind those walls than toilet scrubbing. The site reports Naomi has been getting very friendly with a fellow community servant.

“For the second day in a row, Campbell emerged from a day of scrubbing and scouring, again with a strapping young man — this one identified as her fellow community servant, who did the gentlemanly thing by carrying the supermodel’s bag,” the website said. They concluded by saying “Naomi apparently returned the favor, giving him a ride in her Escalade — to where, we’re not certain.”

Good for her, when one is dealt lemons, one should always make lemonade — or in Naomi’s case a Mojito, accompanied by some Burt Bacharach.

Update:

Naomi leaves her final day at the NYC Department of Sanitation wearing a silver couture gown. It’s either part of photographer Steven Klein’s upcoming layout for W magazine or Naomi’s headed off to Happy Hour for a celebration. Here’s hoping wherever she’s going they have their cell phones and hair brushes securely bolted down.

As always, you can view Naomi’s full outfit after the jump.

Desperate Housewives hunk Jesse Metcalfe is the latest contestant to jump on the celebrity rehab bandwagon. A spokesperson for the 28-year-old star has confirmed Metcalfe checked himself into an undisclosed rehab center for alcohol abuse this week. The decision was apparently brought on by a story which ran in The New York Post’s gossip column Page Six last week, in which Metcalfe was reportedly seen acting “very angry” and “out of control” after going on a weekend-long drinking binge at the Mondrian hotel in L.A.

A statement sent to Page Six by one of Metcalfe’s spokespersons said: “On Monday, March 19, Jesse Metcalfe entered a rehab facility to deal with alcohol issues. He realized he had a problem and was anxious to deal with it immediately.” The rep went on to say Metcalfe “hopes that the media will allow him the privacy to deal properly with his treatment.”

Forget Bungalow 8, the newest celebrity hot spot is Rehab. Everyone who’s anyone is on the list and it’s so exclusive the location is always “undisclosed.” There are so many celebrities entering Club Medic lately, that it’s getting harder and harder to keep count of who’s checking in and who’s checking out. One thing is for sure, this latest Hollywood trend is a lot easier to keep up with than that Kabbalah craziness from a few years back. I have no problem walking around looking “very angry” and “out of control,” but that business of wearing a little red string around my wrist was just a bit too gay.

In day four of America’s Next Top Convict, Naomi decides to throw on a fur along with a splash of color as she reports to do community service. This is the second fur Campbell has worn since she begun her sentence for throwing a cell phone at a former employee and I’m still waiting for some angry Peta protester to jump out of a garbage bin and attempt one of their infamous, anti-fur, paint splashing tactics on Ms. Campbell. We all know the outcome of that scenario would be Naomi showing up the next day wearing the doomed protester’s skin on the runway to the Sanitation Department.

Famed fashion photographer Steven Klein is said to be shooting Naomi each day of her sentence for a fashion spread scheduled to appear in an upcoming issue of Women’s Wear Daily - more to come.

Emile Hirsch ( Alpha Dog, Lords of Dogtown ) is the latest name being tossed around to star in Larry and Andy Wachowski’s ( The Matrix ) live-action version of the anime cartoon classic “Speed Racer.”

As you may recall, last week it was reported that “High School Musical” star Zac Efron was being considered for the lead role, this week however, Hirsch is said to be the front runner.

They both look like anime characters, but between the two I’d go with Hirsch. Something about Efron doesn’t sit well, he’s too “pretty” in an almost gender-bending Cupie Doll kind of way. We’ll just have to wait and see who the Matrix duo decide on.

Sean Connery has taken a break from acting as of late, but according to an article in Hollywood.com, the 76-year-old icon would be willing to come out of his self imposed retirement to star in another Bond thriller - for a price. Connery says “If there was a good part in a Bond film, I’d certainly look at it…I would never return as James Bond. If the part was well written, I could come back as Bond’s father but it would cost them. It would definitely cost them.”

Connery also revealed that part of the reason he quit the Bond franchise, aside from salary issues, was due to the producer’s use of gadgets. “I was getting disenchanted” he adds, “apart from the payment, which was puerile, they were bringing in a lit of science fiction stuff, like the poisonous shoe in From Russia with Love.”

Great minds must think alike, because I’ve always said the reason the Bond franchise was getting stale was due to the focus shifting from plot and character development to the over-use of high tech gadgets and special effects. Luckily last year’s Casino Royale gave the 42-year-old film franchise a much needed boost, bringing it back to it’s gritty origins and garnering it favorable reviews along with unprecedented box office success.

Scarlett Johansson may be playing Nellie Forbush in a planned 2008 Lincoln Center revival of South Pacific. Johansson and Reese Witherspoon are two of the superstars under consideration for what’s being described as a “sexy revival”. Scarlett has long expressed an interest in starring in a Broadway show and is said to be a big fan of the classic Rogers and Hamerstein musical. Johansson was recently in negotiations to star in the London revival of The Sound of Music and even went as far as to meet with producer Andrew Lloyd Webber, but the deal didn’t go through.

In movie news, Scarlett and director Woody Allen will be teaming up for a third time in Allen’s upcoming Spain-set film project. This marks Scarlett’s third starring role in an Allen film, his most frequent use of one particular actress since Mia Farrow and Diane Keaton.

In the April edition of Vogue magazine, Johansson had nothing but praise for the 71-year-old film director, telling the publication “I’d sew the hems of his pants if he asked me to.” Allen, in turn describes his new muse as “criminally sexy”. He goes on to say “she is unlike anyone who has come before her, and while she is a much stronger actress in every way, there is a tiny bit of Marilyn Monroe in her zaftig humidity.” - got that Soon-Yi?

Scarlett and Woody’s untitled Spain project co-stars Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz and will be shooting for seven weeks in Barcelona and Asturias this July.

Above we have Melania Trump and son Baron. I’m digging Melania’s Eva Gabor “darling I love you but give me Park Avenue” ensemble. Women in the U.S. need to dress up like they’re having breakfast at Tiffany’s more often and do away with the ever prevalent Rosanne casual look. There’s just no excuse ladies, comfort is ugly. Life should always be one continuous, well styled 60’s sit-com.

Six High School wrestlers from Parker, South Dakota claim that a fellow classmate raped their butts with his finger during wrestling practice. 17 year old Jerome Hunt, was originally facing 21 counts of rape and attempted rape, but prosecutors have since dropped 11 of those charges. Each count could get him 25 years in prison if convicted.

One wrestler testified that Hunt “unsuccessfully tried to stick his finger in his butt”, other accusers say Hunts finger went into their rectums through their clothes. The wrestlers, who have since left the school, claim they didn’t tell anyone right away because they were scared of Hunt, who allegedly threatened to do worse to them. One alleged victim admits he thought Hunt was just playing around until his parents convinced him it was rape.

In a video shown in court, Hunt claimed the other wrestlers are “just trying to get him in trouble.” He admitted to messing around before practice, but says everybody does. “It’s all stuff that was done to me, it is a high school tradition,” he said.

Hunt went on to say the accusers are referring to a legal wrestling move he used on them called skinning, the maneuver involves applying pressure between a wrestler’s inner thighs to tail bone area. Senior wrestlers testified that they didn’t think Jerome Hunt was guilty and that he was using a legal wrestling move. They said “a finger could accidentally be inserted in an opponent’s rectum.”

Hunt says he never meant to offend anyone and asked “how he could penetrate a wrestler through his clothes.”

Sounds like a typical Abercromie photo shoot to me.
