Limo driver apologises to Naomi Campbell over attack allegations

Boy, all we could do is laugh when we read this one.

Somehow, the limo driver who was allegedly attacked by Naomi Campbell earlier this week, has ended up apologising to her.


The driver, Miodrag Mejdina, issued a statement through his lawyer which said:

"I got angry and overreacted. It was a misunderstanding and I regret involving the police. This whole thing has been blown out of proportion and I apologize to Ms. Campbell for causing that to happen."

So, basically he is apologising for being an informer? Naomi is a real don... a Dudus yu name?

Most folks are taking this apology with a lump of salt, since the driver happens to work for Naomi's billionaire Russian boyfriend, Vladimir Doronin.

When asked if his client had been paid off to drop the case, his lawyer Earl Ward, said:

"The statement speaks for itself. We have no further comment."

So ... take that as you will.

However, it didn't stop Naomi from issuing a pretty haughty statement which said:

"I have worked very hard on correcting my previous wrongdoings and I will not be held hostage to my past.... "I am pleased the driver has apologized. I would like to put the last few days behind me and move on."

Oh Naomi ...

Bits and pieces - Lara fete back on, socially aware fashion and more...

Yes islandistas, I have another pelau post here for you - a bit of this and a bit of that and you know seh it always good!

First up - apparently Brian Lara's all-inclusive Crop-Over party is back on. The Prince changed his mind over a week ago so all systems are go once again.

No details on what caused him to change his mind and work the party into his schedule but we're guessing that some fervent pleading from Bajan party-goers may have gone down.

In other news, Barbadian fashion designer Toni Thorne of Bouik is bringing social awareness to fashion with the launch of a new campaign to promote HIV/AIDS awareness, called Wear The Issue.

The main focus of the campaign is the Wear D Issue contest where young people will have the opportunity to design either a garment or a t-shirt that is inspired by the HIV/AIDS awareness campaign. The winning designs wil be showcased at a catwalk event in December.

Thorne kicked off the campaign with an  event of her own in Bridgetown last week, using the contestants of the Miss Barbados World contest.

According to Thorne:


The focus of the ‘Wear-D-Issue’ Competition will be to utilise creativity and by extension fashion, as a medium to promote awareness to the Barbadian youth of the HIV/AIDS pandemic. What better way to capture the youth market’s attention by using something as readily accepted as fashion to address a serious issue.
It is our intention to make this an annual process and a developmental program for young persons. We do not want this to be a project that is deemed as frivolous. This is the stigma often attached to ventures particularly in the fashion industry and by extension, the creative sectors.


And in Rihanna/Chris Brown news, though there is still no reaction from Rihanna's camp, her mentor Jay-Z has spoken out on Chris' video apology the other day. In an interview with British DJ Tim Westwood, Jigga said:


“We Are all flawed human beings. All a person can do is apologize. Everyone should be allowed to make mistakes. It happens.”

Chris Brown says what he did was 'inexcusable'

Chris Brown is sorry. Five months after he assaulted Rihanna, the teenyboppers former (?) king has come out and publicly apologised to Rihanna and his fans. In the video which was posted to his website, Brown took full responsibility for what happened that night, saying:

"I'm not going to sit here and make any excuses… What I did was inexcusable."
He also confirmed that he and Rihanna have been in contact since the assault, saying he has told her "countless times" how sorry he is. First up, we'd like to say - at least he was man enough to apologise. Shoot, Ike always maintained he did nothing wrong. So for the young boy to man up and admit his wrong, we will give him credit for that. Of course, there are still a whole lot of questions. Was that the first time he ever beat her? Usually abusers start with a shove or a slap before moving up the full on beat-down that he clearly gave her the night of February 8th. What and more importantly, who started the fight? Because despite the fact that Chris has apologised and taken responsibility, there are still tons of ugly comments out there about how she deserved it because she hit him first - something which has never, ever been even close to proven but which some crazy chicks out there have taken as GOSPEL and have run with it. Still, hopefully this will go some way to bringing this whole ugly and tragic affair to a close.

Rihanna's dad: 'I am not homeless' & Chris is so sorry

It's been a week in coming but  people are finally talking out about the Rihanna/Chris Brown assault situation.

After speaking to people.com at the start of the weekend, Rihanna's dad Ronald Fenty is speaking to the Barbadian press about his daughter's situation and more specifically how folks are trying to smear him to get at her.

According to Ri-ri's dad, news stories have appeared in the international press claiming that he is homeless and lives out of his car.

From the Barbados Nation:

It's an attempt by them to shift the focus from Chris Brown [ex-boyfriend]," he told the SUNDAY SUN yesterday.

Fenty was referring to the incident involving Brown, an international singing star facing charges after allegedly assaulting his daughter in the United States.

"I am really upset about the whole incident. They had me all over the TV saying that I was living in a car and was homeless. I have a home in Warrens. I don't live in this car. Rihanna has done really well as a person from a small island and I know that she is up against the heavyweights, so they will do anything to discredit her," he said.

According to the father of the international star and Grammy Award singer, selling items from his car in The City is "a job I do on the side just to keep me happy".

He pinpointed two media corporations overseas who allegedly showed clips of him selling from the back of his car in The City, and stating that he was homeless and also lived in the car. The middle-aged designer said he had seen vehicles parked down the street and people taking pictures from a car, but he had no idea what their motive was.

He chided the media for trying to "dig up dirt on Rihanna", whom he described as being okay and in good health.

Now what can we say about this? Truth be told, Mr. Fenty's admitted past as a cocaine addict has put him in a position to be misrepresented.

But from all accounts, he has kicked his habit and he ent nuh paro. Cuhdear man! Moreover, even if he was, what de hell that would have to do with Rihanna getting beat? stupse...

Furthermore, these people need to check themselves-  what car, wha? Homeless people in the Caribbean don't  live in cars! It's warm outside - they sleep on the street and never die of frostbite (or two day old, sour food).

In other news, Jay-Z is not pleased with how many folks are talking about the whole Rihanna/Chris Brown mess. Speaking to the media last night on the red carpet before his 'Two Kings' event with Lebron James, Jigga had this to say:

"It's not a sound byte, this is a real situation. You have to have compassion for others. Just imagine it being your sister or mom and then think about how we should talk about that.... I just think we should all support her. She's going through a tough time. You have to realize she's a young girl, as well. She's very young."

Annnnnd... finally... one of the parties at the center of the whole situation has finally spoken out. Chris Brown issued an official statement through his PR reps at Sitrick and Company. And... well... he's sorry.

Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired. I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed, with God’s help, to emerging a better person. Much of what has been speculated or reported on blogs and/or reported in the media is wrong. While I would like to be able to talk about this more, until the legal issues are resolved, this is all I can say except that I have not written any messages or made any posts to Facebook, on blogs or any place else. Those posts or writings under my name are frauds.”

Mm. Trust me, you ent sorry yet buddy. By the time the public really done with you, you gine be real sorry in truth - you only just start to feel it.

Sorry.
