DIAMONDS ARE A GIRL'S BEST FRIEND: Even if they're a gift from a villainous dictator, apparently. Naomi Campbell was forced to testify at the war-crimes trial of former Liberian President Charles Taylor after it was revealed that he had given the temperamental model several raw diamonds as a gift after a party (because that's just what dictators do). After some questionable testimony, there seemed to be a chance that Campbell could be charged with perjury — but apparently a threat of a BlackBerry to the head resulted in changing some minds.

FILE – In this Aug. 5, 2010 file photo from video, Naomi Campbell is seen at the U.N.-backed Special Court for Sierra Leone in Leidschendam, Netherlands to give evidence at the war crimes trial of former Liberian ruler Charles Taylor. Campbell was questioned about claims made by actress Mia Farrow that Taylor gave the British model an uncut diamond after a dinner party hosted by Nelson Mandela in South Africa in 1997.
