Naomi Campbell Hugs Hugo Chavez

Ex-supermodel Naomi Campbell arrived Caracas yesterday to hobnob with President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela.

"I've been here before actually," she said.
"A beautiful country, very tropical. You've got great waterfalls."



"I'm not going to be political. Thank you very much," she told reporters before going into the Presidential Palace to hug President Hugo Chavez.



President Hugo Chavez has hosted other stars, including actor Kevin Spacey, Sean Penn and Danny Glover.

Naomi Campbell really needs the big hug of Hugo Chavez and would come out of the Presidential Palace a richer woman.

I am yet to get the photograph of their meeting from our paparazzi.
