Astunning, soon-to-be-40-years-old (she turns 40 May 22nd), Naomi Campbell was the guest on Oprah show today. She spoke on several issues including, keeping fit, her famous temper, and her life in Russia. Viewers got a peek in her Russian closet (she has a London and NY closet) and also saw her achieve a lifelong dream of learning ballet.

Both Naomi's mother and boyfriend Vladimir were in the audience. He has been separated from his wife for over ten years and according to Naomi she the wife and the daughter are friends. Oprah was like "Ya'll don't get divorces in Russia?" that was some funny ish. Her boyfriend is a great influence on her fitness and approach to eating. When she was shown in the gym she said she was on the 6th day of the mastercleanse diet. She's done it for 18 days straight and tries to do it three times a year. I've done it once before for 9 days and this year I've done it for a week. It works, while you on it anyways...lol.

Oprah asked her about her fits of anger:

Oprah:Are you just a petulant diva, and if you don't get things your own way you feel you have the right to throw things?

Naomi: I think it comes from a deeper place than that with me. It comes from another type of emotional disorder, because it's not just, 'I don't get what I want. I throw,'" says Campbell. "It comes from, I think, an abandonment issue, and it comes from also just trying to build up a family around me that's not my immediate family. And if I feel a mistrust, then I really just...all my cards go down.

Oprah: Whether it's a cab driver or somebody on a plane or your own housekeeper and you don't get immediately what you want, you said you see red.

Naomi: Yes.

Oprah: And then what?

Naomi: Then I don't see.

Oprah: You just act.

Naomi: I act out.

After having an outburst, Naomi says she immediately regrets her actions.

"I feel remorseful. I feel ashamed. I feel for them," she says. "[I think,] 'What have I done to them?' If I've hurt them."

At the end of their talk, O had her sign the "No Phone Throwing" pledge as well as the "No Phone Zone" pledge.

Bossip.com posted this image of Rihanna's suposed tweet concerning Oprah's remarks about her.I do try to criss-cross and double check.

I saw the same info on other sites,but when I went to Rihanna's Twitter page,this is the message I got:

Sorry, the account you were headed to has been suspended due to strange activity. Mosey along now, nothing to see here.
...or if you're curious as to why an account might be suspended, head over this way for the juicy details.

So it means here page received an unusually large amount of visitors in a short space of time, it was somehow phished or compromised. So not too sure what to make of that comment.

As for the Oprah show which focused on domestic abuse, shehad this to say about the couple:

“Let me tell you why she got back with him, in my opinion,” Winfrey said. “If you go back with a man who hits you, it is because you don’t feel you’re worthy of being with a man who won’t.”
Winfrey said returning to an abusive relationship boils down to how the victim feels about herself. If you were raised right, she said, “and think you are a wonderful person, somebody hitting you is really offensive to you. “This show is dedicated to all the Rihannas of the world, and to any young men who could ever think about hurting a woman,” Winfrey said

Tyra Banks also talked about both Rihanna and Chris Brown talking to her about domestic abuse they witnessed growing up.

“It was almost like a living hell for her,” Banks said. “The moment her parents, were separated, her migraines went away."
Likewise, Brown once told Banks he witnessed abuse in his home between the ages of 7 and 13. Brown said the “visual abuse” had an impact on his relationships with women.
“I treat them differently,” he told Banks in an earlier interview played Thursday on “Oprah.” “I don’t want to put a woman through the same thing that person put my mom through.”
Banks told Winfrey when she heard about the Brown-Rihanna incident, she went back to that earlier interview.

“I said, oh my God, he’s repeating it,” Banks said.

She noted Rihanna, while a huge star, is just a regular girl.
“She should not be attacked,” Banks said. “We need to send her love, and hope for her to make the right decision.”
Winfrey quickly added: “I think we need to send love to both of them …. Him to be healed, and for her to be healed also.”

From E! Online:

Oprah Winfrey says pop star Rihanna's alleged beating by singer boyfriend Chris Brown has the talk show queen so sad that she'll do a show dedicated to dating violence this week.

The hour-long episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" will air live from Chicago on Thursday. Winfrey offered Rihanna advice on her Friday show, saying, "Heal yourself first and also, love doesn't hurt." She also told the couple they should seek counseling.

Winfrey says the Thursday episode is "dedicated to all the Rihannas of the world" and will include guest Tyra Banks.

A Los Angeles police affidavit alleges that on Feb. 8, Brown punched, bit and choked Rihanna until she nearly lost consciousness. He has been charged with two felonies and will be arraigned in April.

I so agree. If you truly love someone, deep inside themselves they just have to know that. Me personally after a beatdown like that there would always be a grain of doubt in my mind. Like is that really love, I mean he loves me then he does this to me???? I don't feel good inside when I think about this. Shouldn't I feel good when I think about the man I love????? Anyways, like Oprah said get some counseling.That's the first thing they should do instead of just shacking up in a hotel room. Rihanna is so sprung.
