Posted Jun 20, 08 11:10 AM CDT in US,  Crime & Courts,  Gossip 

(AP) – Naomi Campbell pleaded guilty today to kicking and spitting at two police officers during an April "air rage" incident at Heathrow Airport. The short-tempered supermodel went ballistic when a bag was misplaced during the epic delays surrounding the opening of a new terminal. She faces 6 months in prison or a $10,000 fine for each of six assault charges and will be sentenced later.
