Cienfuegos - Supermodel Naomi
Campbell, in Cuba seeking an interview with Fidel Castro in her
new role as political reporter, visited homes donated by
Venezuela to Cuban workers on Friday.
The catwalk queen has been commissioned by Britain's GQ
magazine to interview high-profile political figures. Her
editors believe few if any will turn her away.
Campbell has already landed an interview with Venezuela's
leftist President Hugo Chavez.
But it is not clear if she will get to see reclusive Cuban
leader Fidel Castro, who has not appeared in public since
mid-2006 after undergoing stomach surgery.
Chavez, who looks to Castro as his ideological mentor,
might be able to help her. He hosted a Caribbean energy summit
in Cienfuegos on Friday and reopened a Soviet-built oil
refinery that was refurbished by Venezuela.
The Venezuelan president also donated three-bedroom,
furnished bungalows to 100 families of Cuban workers that
Campbell visited.
