Naomi’s Oprah Confession

When the infamous diva confided her secrets to Oprah Winfrey today, we learned that here at Fikkle Fame, we are actually a lot like Naomi Campbell in at least a couple of ways.

Naomi sometimes feels like she is around 1,000 people but it’s a lonely feeling when it feels like “you’re around no one at the same time.”

We know exactly how you feel there, honey. Some weeks, the only compliments we get are from spammers who just want to say they love our blog so they can leave a spammy link.

“There are times where I don’t want to walk on a red carpet but I have to because I’m contracted to,” Naomi moaned.

We feel your pain. There are times we don’t want to blog, but we do it because we’re not contracted to walk on a red carpet.

And that’s where we part company with Naomi Campbell similarities. We’ve never slept with Robert DeNiro, we don’t have a Russian billionaire boyfriend and we don’t live in Moscow.

Oh, and we don’t struggle with pre-scripted remarks about why we are not petulant divas who want things our own way and feel we have the right to throw things when we don’t get our way.

Naomi was trying to say all the right things in this contrived effort to repair the damage she has done to her “image,” but that she rehearsed for the whole thing was painfully obvious.

She admitted to throwing the cell phone at her maid, struggling to explain her reasons (because even as she spoke, she no doubt realized how lame it all sounded). She had to ask for something (no, it was not jeans) too many times. She couldn’t remember what it was about but she did remember seeing red.

She tried to claim it had something to do with not being able to count on people she let get close to her and had “become a part” of her. But Oprah was quick to point out that her rationale did not extend to other incidents where the people she was abusing were total strangers.

“I am ashamed of everything I’ve ever done. I take responsibility for the things that I have done, and I do feel a great sense of shame,” she said, but that was only if there’s no way she could talk herself out of it. If there was, she did.
