Time for Community Service, the Sequel starring Naomi Campbell! In London yesterday the supermodel began the 200 hours of community service she was sentenced to after admitting to assaulting police during a fit over a lost bag at Heathrow airport. You'll recall the last time a judge ordered Campbell to serve her community, she had to clean up a New York sanitation facility. Working in a soup kitchen this time, she shouldn't have to worry too much about keeping her designer clothes clean, since other volunteers have the messy jobs of cleaning and washing dishes while Naoms conquers paperwork in the back office.

A fellow volunteer said Campbell was treated "like a princess," adding, "It's usually pretty gruelling work but not for her." That disgruntled peer aside, the Mirror reports Campbell invited her new soup-kitchen friends to the charity fashion show she's holding in London next week:

[Campbell] said: "I had a great time today. Everyone was so lovely and welcoming.

"I've invited them to my show and they've promised to come. I just want to keep my head down and get on with it."

She can't have expected them to be mean to her. Especially if she's got things like paperweights and staplers lying around her new office.
