Naomi Campbell has found a new calling: political journalism. The phone-flinging supermodel interviewed Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez for British GQ's latest issue, reports the Guardian. When Campbell asked the president if he would ever pose topless à la Vladimir Putin, Chavez replied: "Why not? Touch my muscles?"

Chavez dishes about the most stylish world leader—Fidel Castro, of course—describes President Bush as "completely crazy," and describes Condoleezza Rice as "secretary of state of a genocidal government." Next, Campbell has her sights set on Nicolas Sarkozy and Castro. GQ's editor is optimistic: "Even socialist dictators have an interest in gorgeous supermodels." (More Naomi Campbell stories.)
