Naomi Campbell to mop floors

Supermodel Naomi Campbell will swap her catwalk outfits for a broom, gloves and safety vest when she begins mopping floors at New York's Sanitation Department on March 19, a court official confirmed Tuesday.

But Campbell, who was sentenced to community service as punishment for throwing her mobile phone at her housekeeper, will serve her five-day sentence indoors. Sexy Naomi, who recently stripped for a photoshoot in men�s magazine GQ, could have faced up to seven years in prison before her lawyers struck a deal.

Singer Boy George attracted a media throng when he swept streets in a court-ordered punishment in August.

The New York Post reported Tuesday that Campbell had been assigned to mop floors with other community service workers at a Sanitation Department warehouse in Manhattan. A court official confirmed the story but declined further comment.

Hothead Naomi was arrested in March last year after hurling a diamond-encrusted mobile phone at maid Ana Scolavino, who needed four stitches in a head wound.

Ana said the model went berserk, claiming she had pinched jeans she planned to wear on a TV show. Naomi will also attend anger management classes in a bid to curb her wild temper.

The London-born beauty has claimed "tiredness, lack of sleep and just so many things" sparked the attack in New York last year.

She said:

"I have a deep sense of shame. I do therapy every day. I was really being destructive to myself. I didn�t know how to ask for help."

Campbell, 36, has been accused by at least three employees of hitting or otherwise assaulting them. She has also blamed her temper on lingering resentment toward her father for abandoning her as a child.
