Naomi Campbell, Ahead of the Curve

(Via CJR)

Funny how things are in plain sight as "no big deal" until those things turn out to be hacking into a dead girl's cell phone.

Here's Naomi Campbell going after now CNN anchor Piers Morgan back in 2007:

CAMPBELL: What do you think of the News Of The World reporter who was recently found guilty of tapping the Royals’ phones? Did you ever allow that when you were there?

MORGAN: Well, I was there in 1994-5, before mobiles were used very much, and that particular trick wasn’t known about. I can’t get too excited about it, I must say. It was pretty well-known that if you didn’t change your pin code when you were a celebrity who bought a new phone, then reporters could ring your mobile, tap in a standard factory setting number and hear your messages. That is not, to me, as serious as planting a bug in someone’s house, which is what some people seem to think was going on.

CAMPBELL: It’s an invasion of privacy, though.

MORGAN: It is, yes. But loads of newspaper journalists were doing it. Clive Goodman, the NOTW reporter, has been made the scapegoat for a very widespread practice.

So that's CNN's current anchor saying "loads of newspaper journalists were doing it" back in 2007. Wonder if anybody's going to ask him about that?

And you have to wonder who else is going to get caught up in this chain reaction of crazy.

I mean Hugh Grant and Naomi Campbell?

Who writes this crap?
