The supermodel Naomi Campbell escaped jail today when she was sentenced to 200 hours of community service for kicking and spitting at police officers during a foul-mouthed tirade aboard an aircraft waiting to take off from Heathrow.

A court heard that the 38-year-old screamed abuse at the captain of a British Airways flight after being told one of her bags had gone missing during the luggage chaos at the newly-opened Terminal 5 in April.

Campbell ordered the captain to get off the plane and look for her suitcase, holding up the flight bound for Los Angeles for almost an hour. When cabin crew eventually called police to remove her she refused to get off the plane and accused them of targeting her because she was black.

Campbell, who had pleaded guilty to assault, disorderly conduct and threatening behaviour, was also ordered to pay fines totalling £2300 and £550 in compensation to two police officers and the aircraft captain, Miles Sutherland. She had faced a jail term of up to six months for each count of assault.

Apparently, flying the friendly skies with Naomi Campbell ain’t so damn friendly. On Thursday night, the supermodel threw a hissy fit at Heathrow airport over a lost bag and allegedly spit on a police officer. They catwalked her ass to jail where she was released on bail sometime after midnight Friday morning.

Naomi Campbell was released on bail Friday after a spat with a police officer at Heathrow Airport’s troubled new Terminal 5, where one of her bags was lost.Campbell, 37, left the airport police station just after midnight. London’s Metropolitan Police said she was released pending further inquiries and told to report to a police station in late May.

The London-born supermodel was arrested late Thursday on suspicion of assaulting an officer after police were called to a disturbance at the airport.

According to the Telegraph, this isn’t the first time Naomi has lost her mind in an airport.

In September she was seen swearing at airline staff in front of dozens of passengers after being told she could not board her flight to New York because she arrived just 11 minutes before take-off.

She also lost her temper in Bogota airport in Columbia in 2005 after bags containing her designer dresses and shoes were mistakenly sent to Houston, Texas. The model, who had just flown in from New York, threatened to get on the next flight out of the country if the problem was not sorted out.

Someone seriously needs to up her meds.

Naomi Campbell looks amazing in this Superbowl commercial for Thrillicious water featuring Michael Jackson’s Thriller. Naomi was styled by Andre Leon Talley and this marks the first time MJ has licensed one of his songs to be used in a commercial.

Naomi Campbell must spend her free time sacrificing virgins because she still looks a thousand times better than most of the younger models out today. She looks ageless and radiates pure glam in the December 2007 issue of Vogue UK in a spread shot by Patrick Demarchelier.

In the shot above, she’s wearing the Christian Louboutin spectator bootie that is available at NAP and ripped off by Madden.
