TOP model, Naomi Campbell, at the centre of a mini furore at Milan women's fashion shows, apologised to a leading Italian designer yesterday for missing a show.
Ms Campbell (25), who has appeared in most of the top stylists' line ups at the autumn winter 1996/1997 ready to wear shows, wrote to knitwear designer, Laura Biagiotti, to say she was sorry for arriving late to model her collection on Tuesday.
Ms Campbell said she regretted the inconvenience caused the designer and expressed the hope they would work together again.
The office of Biagiotti, who turned the model away from Tuesday's show, said the gesture was appreciated and the designer considered the matter closed.
A leash and a ring were apparently at the centre of John F. Kennedy jnr's quarrel in New York's Central Park with his girlfriend, Carolyn Bessette.
As Bessette tried to take their dog's leash, Kennedy yelled: "You've got my ring - you're not getting my dog," according to Newsweek.
The heated argument, which ended with a smooching session on the pavement, was captured on videotape and sold to the National Enquirer tabloid.
US director Martin Scorsese has agreed to let his latest film Casino play in Sweden, even though the censors have snipped out 100 seconds of scenes deemed too violent for local tastes.
Trevor Nunn (56), the classical director who became a millionaire staging musicals, was named head of Britain's National Theatre yesterday.
Nunn, who has directed worldwide hits like Cats and Les Miserables, follows in the illustrious footsteps of Lord Olivier, Sir Peter Hall and Richard Eyre, who is stepping down from the state theatre stewardship after nine years.
