I wasn't drunk, stumbling supermodel says
Naomi Campbell denies she was drunk when she fell over after a night out.
The supermodel, 38, was clubbing on the Italian island of Capri when she was photographed being hauled up from the pavement in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
Naomi has however insisted she was just playing a "trust game" with friends.
Her agent said: "It was just a bit of fun and not down to drink. Naomi was playing this trust game, where you fall into a friend's arms. It's very hot down there, so that could have something to do with it."
Witnesses say Naomi went limp and her eyes glazed over as she dropped into the arms of one of her party. Another clubber also tried to grab her arm to stop her from taking a tumble.
The supermodel had arrived on the island by boat on Tuesday and after enjoying time with friends headed to a nightclub at around 1am on Wednesday.
One onlooker said: "We heard a little shriek and turned around. She was close to having a very embarrassing moment indeed, but managed to laugh it off."
Naomi could possibly face jail next week if convicted of air rage charges.
She is due to appear at magistrate's court in West London for the case on June 20.

'Iron Man' co-writers in for 'Sigma'
Adapting Robert Ludlum's novel
"Iron Man" co-writers Art Marcum and Matt Holloway have signed on to write the big-screen adaptation of Robert Ludlum's "The Sigma Protocol" for Universal. Paul Sandberg is producing along with Strike Entertainment's Marc Abraham and Eric Newman.
"Sigma" centers on an American economist who becomes the target of professional assassins. When a U.S. intelligence agent investigating his case finds herself discredited, the two end up on the run and uncover a multinational conspiracy manipulating the global economy and world events. The book was one of the last books written by Ludlum, who is the creator of the studio's ultra-successful "Bourne" franchise. (Sandberg was a producer on that series, along with Frank Marshall.)
The project was set up at the studio several years ago, and at one point had Jonathan Jakubowicz ("Secuestro Express") on board to write and direct.
Scott Bernstein and David Ortiz are overseeing for the studio.
"Sigma" is a continuation of the roll Marcum and Holloway have been on since "Iron Man's" success. The two are penning the "Highlander" remake for Summit and recently penned the original script "Convoy."
Marcum and Holloway are represented by ICM.

The Cure to release new singles
1st single �the only one� available via itunes on the 13th of may and physically on the 17th
The Cure, one of the most revered British bands of the past quarter-century, have unveiled their plans to release four A & B side singles, one each month starting May 13th, leading up to the release of their thirteenth studio album, as yet untitled, which will be out on Suretone/Geffen Records September 13th. It will be the band's first album of new music since 2004�s self titled album The Cure. Physical and digital singles will be available for purchase in store and on all digital partners.
Why the 13th of each month? The forthcoming album is The Cure�s thirteenth studio album... A lucky number indeed!
First single �The Only One� (released May 13th) includes the b-side �NY Trip�; second single �Freakshow� (released June 13th) includes the b-side "All Kinds Of Stuff"; neither b-side will appear on the album. Both tracks were produced by Robert Smith and Keith Uddin. July 13th and August 13th singles will be announced shortly...
Led as always by lead singer/guitarist Robert Smith, the Cure line-up comprises long-time members bass player Simon Gallup, drummer Jason Cooper and, back in the band for a third time, guitarist Porl Thompson.
The Cure first formed in southern England in 1976 as Easy Cure. In 1978 the 'Easy' was dropped, and The Cure was signed to the Fiction label. In May 1979 their debut album Three Imaginary Boys was released to great acclaim.
Other landmark Cure albums include Pornography (1982), The Head on the Door (1985), Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me (1987), Disintegration (1989), Wish (1992), Wild Mood Swings (1996), the Grammy-nominated Bloodflowers (2000) and their last full length release, the self-titled set The Cure (2004). 2006 saw the Suretone/Geffen release of Festival 2005, an award winning 5.1 DVD featuring 30 songs, shot by fans, band members and professionals during the summer of 2005�s European festival run.

George Michael to reveal all
Singer George Michael has signed a multi-million pound deal to write a "no holds barred" autobiography.
According to his publisher HarperCollins, the 44-year-old will write the book "entirely himself", without a ghost writer.
In what is being reported by the company as "one of the biggest ever book deals", the former Wham! frontman has promised to reveal the truth about his turbulent personal life and his career, which has spanned over 25 years.
His manager Andy Stephens has said "George has promised HarperCollins a no-holds barred biography and it's certainly going to be that."
He added, "People aren't stupid, they're beginning to notice that the truth is more interesting than the stories the press come up with."
The yet untitled book is due to hit shelves in the autumn.
Belinda Budge, the managing director and publisher of Harper NonFiction UK, described the deal as "incredibly exciting".
"George is one of the best known and best loved pop singers in the world, with an extraordinary story to tell," she said.
"I am particularly thrilled by this deal as I have long been a fan of George's. Most importantly this really will be a truly authentic book and an exceptional one as he's going to be writing it entirely himself."

NYC-Based Singer-Songwriter KJ Denhert Draws Acclaim During First-Ever West Coast Tour
TOUR INCLUDES OPENERS FOR ALICIA KEYS, ROBERT RANDOLPH, DAMIAN MARLEY,
ROBBEN FORD, ETC.
LOS ANGELES, June 5 -- Award-winning, NYC-based
singer-songwriter-guitarist KJ Denhert -- known for her soulful fusion of
jazz, R&B, rock and folk -- is in the midst of her first-ever itinerary of
west coast dates. KJ and her longtime band, the super-tight NY Unit, drew
an enthusiastic reception at Yoshi's in San Francisco last week, and at
Temple Bar in Santa Monica this week. At the latter date, singer-songwriter
Jackson Browne and contemporary blues icon Keb' Mo' were in attendance.
Next up on Denhert's inaugural west coast jaunt is Sonoma County's
renowned annual Harmony Festival in Santa Rosa on June 6-7 where she'll
share the bill with artists including Damian Marley and Angelique Kidjo. On
June 8, she'll appear at Northern California's Menlo Park Sunset
Celebration before heading back east for NYC engagements.
In addition to U.S. dates this summer, the Grenadian-American Denhert
will be an artist-in-residence at the world-famous Umbria Jazz Festival in
Perugia, Italy for a fifth consecutive year, July 11-20. She and the NY
Unit -- also featuring ace saxophonist Aaron Heick -- will play two shows
daily, including a show opening for Alicia Keys on Saturday, July 19.
Denhert's live performances showcase her earthy, vibrant personality as
much as her genre-transcending music. Those qualities shine on her new
album LUCKY 7, her Motema Music debut. An enhanced 12-song CD also
featuring videos, the disc is in association with KJ's Mother Cyclone
Records imprint. KJ produced the album, her seventh, with NY Unit
keyboardist Bennett Paster co-producing several tracks. Highlights include
the title track, "He's Not Coming Home," and the album's one cover, an
intimate take on "Over The Rainbow" that's a fan favorite.

Howard in talks to join Terminator
Actress Bryce Dallas Howard is in talks to replace Charlotte Gain�sbourg in Termin�ator Salvation: The Future Begins. Gainsbourg was to play Kate Connor, the wife of human resistance hero John Connor, played by Christian Bale. The actress had to bow out because of scheduling conflicts with another film, a French comedy.
Production on the fourth entry in the Terminator fran�chise is underway. If an actors strike were to happen after the Screen Actors Guild contract expires on June 30, shooting would stop and then restart at a later date, potentially conflicting with the French film.
