Naomi Campbell asks the questions you're too scared to ask

Woodward and Bernstein: feel the fear. Naomi Campbell has been tentatively branching out into journalism for some time now for GQ, interviewing everyone from Hugo Chavez to Piers Morgan.

But her interview this month with Argentine president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has produced a scorcher of a scoop, if not precisely followed up in the traditional manner.

So our Naomi begins proceeding by asking Kirchner why she is trying to reclaim the Falkland Islands. Kirchner replies: "Our sovereignty claim over the Malvinas is evidence pf the issue of universal citizenship. Britain has systematically refused, in spite of all the appeals issued by the United Nations, to even discuss this problem. It is the shame of a colonial enclave in the 21rst century."

Go Naomi! That's pretty strong stuff she's got there. And so, with the kind of cunning that wins Pulitzers, what does she ask? "How did you feel when you saw Madonna playing Evita on screen?"

There's a method in there, we know it.
