Naomi Campbell Considering Legal Action After Called "Chocolate" In Cadbury Ad Campaign

>> Naomi Campbell is upset that candy company Cadbury used her name to promote its new Bliss chocolate bar, and has accused the company of racism. Campbell says that she is considering "every option available" after Cadbury refused to pull the ad campaign, which ran in British newspapers last week with the line: "Move over Naomi, there's a new diva in town." She added: "I am shocked. It's upsetting to be described as chocolate, not just for me, but for all black women and black people. I do not find any humor in this. It is insulting and hurtful."

Campbell's mother, Valerie Morris, supports her daughter's feelings: "I'm deeply upset by this racist advert. Do these people think they can insult black people and we just take it? This is the 21st century, not the 1950s. Shame on Cadbury."

A Cadbury spokesperson noted that the campaign is "no longer in circulation . . . we have no plans to repeat the campaign." He added that it was "a light-hearted take on the social pretensions of Cadbury Dairy Milk Bliss. Cadbury takes its responsibility very seriously indeed and we would never produce any marketing activity we felt might cause offence to any section of society."

Leonardo DiCaprio Does Lunch During Naomi Campbell's Birthday Bash

Leonardo DiCaprio and his BFF Lukas Haas had lunch at Capri's Torre dei Normanni restaurant with Naomi Campbell and her boyfriend Vlad Doronin.

Leonardo DiCaprio and his BFF Lukas Haas had lunch at Capri's Torre dei Normanni restaurant with Naomi Campbell and her boyfriend Vlad Doronin. The getaway celebrating Naomi's 40th in Italy gives Leo a chance to catch up with pals after a few days in Portofino with his new lady love Blake Lively. Leonardo DiCaprio is dating Blake Lively after splitting from his supermodel ex, Bar Refaeli, recently. He and Blake were first photographed hugging on Steven Spielberg's yacht when they were all in Cannes for the film festival, but it seems the Gossip Girl star isn't a part of Naomi's birthday group. Blake isn't the only one who's gotten close to Leo this year. His costar in the upcoming J. Edgar, Armie Hammer, recently shared his thoughts on the kiss they share in the movie.

Leonardo DiCaprio disembarked from a yacht last night to explore Capri with his best friend Lukas Haas. He and Lukas reconvened on the Italian island to start celebrating their pal Naomi Campbell's 40th birthday, which was actually on Sunday. Naomi and her boyfriend, Vladimir Doronin, were likewise game for some sightseeing and took a stroll near the port hand in hand. Leo seems to be without his latest love interest, Blake Lively. Leo and Blake were just together in Portofino, which they visited after going public with their blossoming romance last week during the Cannes Film Festival. Leo's ex seems to be moving on, too. There was a Bar Refaeli bikini sighting in the South of France once Leo left, and the supermodel also treated herself to a recent night out on the town with her girlfriends. Leo was back out for more fun in the sun today, and was spotted joking around with friends on the deck of Naomi and Vlad's luxury boat.

Queen of Punk: Vivienne Westwood Shoe Exhibition Beirut 2011

OnSugar blogger Black by Sara was lucky enough to check out Vivienne Westwood's shoe exhibition in Beirut.

OnSugar blogger Black by Sara was lucky enough to check out Vivienne Westwood's shoe exhibition in Beirut. Check out all of the cool footwear, plus an interview below!

After forty years in the fashion business, a unique designer such as Vivienne Westwood deserves a museum dedicated to her beloved shoe collections. We all have witnessed her adventures in tailoring that have taken us back to historical places; such as the 17th and 18th century French era. As the sole originator of punk style in the fashion industry, Vivienne Westwood has managed to connect the art world to her fantasy style island. To document the evolution of her footwear collections a private collector has decided to exhibit these exceptional pieces around the world. For two years these shoes will be traveling to specific locations due to their market requirements and will be displayed at various museums and palaces such as the famous Sursock Palace in Beirut. Luckily, the Lebanese media and I were one of the few that got invited for the first look at this marvelous collection.

The notorious Gillie Platform that was worn by Naomi Campbell

I’m still in awe with Westwood’s capacity and her approach towards fashion. The collections dates back to 1973, which means that a lot of us didn’t get to enjoy these beauties. Now it’s our chance to admire Dame Westwood’s defiance of high heel rules with elevation and historical design footwear.

Ryan Gosling popped up at his first Cannes event this evening looking dapper in Salvatore Ferragamo for the Cinema For Peace inaugural dinner honoring Sean Penn for his charitable efforts in Haiti. Leonardo DiCaprio and rumored flame Blake Lively took a break from lounging so he could stop by to say a few words while Robert De Niro, Naomi Campbell, and Uma Thurman sat in the audience. Ryan's arrival in France is later than most of the star-studded crowd as his upcoming flick Drive, costarring Carey Mulligan, is closing out the film festival. Carey debuted newly dyed brown hair this week in preparation for her next role starring opposite Leonardo in The Great Gatsby. The cast of the Baz Luhrmann remake of the classic is close to complete with Joel Edgerton now playing Tom Buchanan after Ben Affleck reportedly passed on the role last month. Carey's not the only link between Leo and Ryan, as Ryan was also momentarily romantically tied to Blake last Fall.

Rosario Dawson gave modeling a try with a trip down the catwalk for Naomi Campbell's Fashion For Relief fundraiser show in Cannes. We were wildly impressed with her legs, which were rivaled only by Naomi Campbell's endless legs. Both wore dresses with thigh-high slits, which is a recurring theme in evening gowns these days. In your opinion, who has sexier legs, Rosario or Naomi?
