"A lie has no legs." So the proverb says and it's true. You can't hide the truth for any longer so you better be an honest person. Learn from our supermodel Naomi Campbell and don't you ever dare to make the same mistake as hers. The beauty is reported to have had an affair with Robbie Williams. About this, Campbell's former personal assistant, Rebecca White, has revealed all.

White said that Campbell had a year-long affair with the singer at the time she was still dating Formula 1 team, Renault's boss, Flavio Briatore. Worse, White claimed to have seen both of them in bed which then made it obvious for her that they shared more than just a platonic friendship. "She would talk fondly about Robbie from time to time, so I knew they were acquainted. But the first time I actually met him was that day in February 2001 when I walked into Naomi's bedroom...and found them cuddled up in her bed," so White said.

Hollywood hot couple, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, seemingly doesn't care about the rumors centering on their romance. In fact, the twosome always being together wherever they go. Won't affected by the negative reports they both will in coming days visit quake survivors in northern Pakistan.

"We'll be on our way to Pakistan in a matter of days," said Jolie after she and Pitt attended a private briefing at the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) on Tuesday. Speaking on her spirit to do the risky duty, UNHCR spokeswoman Jennifer Pagonis commented "She takes her work for us extremely seriously and that means a lot to her and the staff. She's a terrific goodwill ambassador who can help people understand the difficult life of a refugee."
