Gosh darn. I really love it when world leaders have serious interviews about important international concerns. It just makes me feel more confident in the future of the world, when I know that the important questions are being asked, and reported, without prejudice or media sensationalism.

Naomi Campbell Interviews Hugo Chavez
The Associated Press
LONDON -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez says he likes Prince Charles and thinks President Bush is crazy, in an interview with Naomi Campbell in the British edition of GQ magazine.
The 37-year-old supermodel spoke to Chavez in her role as contributing editor to British GQ, the magazine said. Excerpts were released Monday.
Asked to name the world's most stylish leader, Chavez chose Cuba's Fidel Castro.
"Fidel, of course! His uniform is impeccable. His boots are polished, his beard is elegant," Chavez said.
Campbell asked if Chavez would appear topless in photos as Russian President Vladimir Putin has done.
"Why not?" he said. "Touch my muscles!"
The Venezuelan leader asked Campbell if she knew Prince Charles.
"I like the Prince," he said. "Now he has Camilla, his new girl. She's not as attractive, is she?"
GQ said Campbell would interview other high-profile figures in politics, sports and entertainment.
The full interview with Chavez is in GQ's February issue, to be released Thursday.
Campbell wrote that she had hoped to get a sense of "Hugo Chavez the man."
"I found him to be fearless, but not threatening or unreasonable," she wrote. "I hope Venezuela's relations with America will improve in the immediate future."
