Campbell cleans up her act

From the Associated Press

Naomi Campbell, wearing black stilettos and slinging dark work boots over her shoulder, traded the catwalk for community service Monday at a New York sanitation garage to start a five-day sentence for assaulting her maid.

The 36-year-old model arrived at the Manhattan District 3 Garage at Pier 36 on the Hudson in a black sport utility vehicle. She’ll be pushing a broom or mop at the garage for her guilty plea to misdemeanor assault for throwing a cellphone at her maid over a pair of missing jeans.

It’s the same sanitation depot where former Culture Club frontman Boy George performed his five-day community service stint in August. Unlike George, who performed his duties outdoors in full view of TV cameras, Campbell will work inside the garage. She was issued protective gloves, dust mask and reflective orange vest.

Campbell, who has a reputation for angry outbursts, pleaded guilty in January for hitting Ana Scolavino in the back of the head with the phone last March. Campbell was ordered to pay Scolavino’s medical expenses of $363, do five days of community service and attend a two-day anger-management program.
