Naomi Campbell might be little bit on the crazy side, but the chick can definitely take a photo. Naomi appears naked on the April cover of the UK version of GQ Magazine. Only strategic letter placement keeps Naomi from being indecently exposed. She’s been in the modeling game for over 20 years, yet unlike Tyra, Naomi’s managed to remain on the forefront of the fashion scene.

In the article accompanying the photo spread, Naomi is interviewed by former Daily Mirror editor Piers Morgan. It was the Daily Mirror that Naomi sued in 2001 for invasion of privacy after the paper, and then editor Morgan, printed an article that said she’d attended Narcotics Anonymous. It’s been nearly six years, and several legal battles later, and Naomi finally got to turn the tables on her former accuser. In the middle of their interview for the April issue, Naomi took control, and began to interview Morgan. The following is an excerpt from the interview:

Campbell: What do you think of the News of the World reporter who was recently found guilty of tapping the royals’ phones? Did you ever allow that when you were there?
Morgan: Well, I was there in 1994-95, before mobiles were used very much, and that particular trick wasn’t known about. I can’t get too excited about it, I must say. It was pretty well-known that if you didn’t change your pin code when you were a celebrity who bought a new phone, then reporters could ring your mobile, tap in a standard factory setting number and hear your messages. That is not, to me, as serious as planting a bug in someone’s house, which is what some people seem to think was going on.

Campbell: It’s an invasion of privacy, though.
Morgan: It is, yes. But loads of newspaper journalists were doing it. Clive Goodman, the News of the World reporter, has been made the scapegoat for a very widespread practice.

Campbell: So you’re defending him?
Morgan: Not defending him, just expressing sympathy for someone who has been made a scapegoat.

Campbell: Would you like it if someone listened to your messages?
Morgan: Oh, they used to do it to me. And no, I didn’t like it. But with new technology comes new temptation and new issues. And this has brought the practice out into the open and it won’t happen any more - celebrities get a lot more privacy now than they used to.

Clearly, Naomi took this opportunity to be her usual bold self. I’m sure when Pierce Morgan went in to interview Ms. Campbell, he never expected he’d be the interviewee. The complete interview, as well as a photo spread shot by photographer Steven Klein, will be in the April issue of UK GQ. source.
