Brazil won't take Naomi Campbell's blood
Brazil isn't taking any of supermodel Naomi Campbell's blood, even though an outbreak of mosquito-borne dengue fever has struck Rio de Janeiro. But it's not because they just plain don't like her.
Campbell arrived at the HemoRio med center on Tuesday for a blood drive, the AP reports, but she was turned away. It seems having cyst-removal surgery in February makes her an unfit donor.
More than 75,000 people have been infected with dengue fever this year, with at least 80 dead. But after that last incident before a British Airways site a couple weeks ago, we're just shocked anyone would fly her anywhere.
