Naomi Campbell Celebrates Birthday In The Holy Land

Naomi Campbell celebrated her 42nd birthday (May 22) in the Holy Land as an attempt to usher in “good vibrations” for herself and the same said wishful thinking for the Middle East region.

“As much traveling as I’ve done, I’ve never come here. I’m happy to be here. Weapons and war, greed and oil … I hope it all stops. I care about health, about good vibrations, not destruction.”

Campbell was considerably dressed-down in a white shirt and black sunglasses, but her small army of an entourage along with Palestinian guards shifted any opinions of not being a recognizable figure.

The leggy supermodel whose career spans three decades celebrated another year of life with Russian billionaire boyfriend Vladislav Doronin, 15 close friends, and six bodyguards at the nearby Casa Nova Palace Restaurant where they feasted on a traditional meal of lamb and rice.

The notorious once-troubled fashion icon toured the Palestinian city Bethlehem where she lit candles in the Church of the Nativity, toured the tunnels of the Western Wall, and visited the Wailing Wall.

Despite being named in her boyfriend’s nasty divorce as a home wrecker earlier this year by Doronin’s estranged wife, this year is suiting up to be a wonderful time in Naomi’s life who was recently brought on board as a judge for a new model reality show “The Face.”

 

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
