RUSSIA: Naomi Campbell Interviews Putin.

GUARDIAN/ OPINION, Adam Gabbatt /

    Former supermodel Naomi Campbell, 40, interviewed PM Vladimir Putin, 58, for the new GQ magazine, focusing on his physical prowess, the "great impression" he makes on women and his swimming ability.
  But Putin seemingly downplayed image as a macho man.
  Campbell reluctantly testified last year in the war crimes trial of former Liberian president Charles Taylor.
  Her first words to the judge were "I want to get this over and done with ... this is a big inconvenience for me."
   For more than two years, she has been dating the billionaire oligarch Vladislav Doronin and living part-time in Russia.
