Brazil Declines Naomi Campbell's Blood

The country of Brazil has rejected Naomi Campbell’s blood.
Trying to do some good, the temperamental supermodel turned up at the HemoRio medical center to participate in a blood drive to fight a dengue fever epidemic, but officials turned her away.
No, it wasn't anything personal — just medical. Naomi had surgery in February to remove a cyst; thus, she needs to wait longer before donating blood.
Have no fear though — the 37-year-old, who was two weeks ago for assaulting a police officer in an airport, is still feeling the love in Brazil. She often visits the country and Rio Mayor Cesar Maia has invited her to be a goodwill ambassador for the city.
