Stardom can really go to a celebrity's head. One such celebrity is British supermodel Naomi Campbell [Images], who was arrested for allegedly spitting at a police officer.

According to The Sydney Morning Herald, the model, known for her rather hot temper, was later released on bail after being removed from a British Airways flight at London [Images] Heathrow.

The paper said the 37-year old, who has a history of abusing assistants and staff, was arrested at the terminal for an assault on a police officer. She was then handcuffed on board a plane and removed her from the flight, the paper said.

This is the latest incident of abuse after the model was ordered to spend a week mopping floors at a New York City warehouse for hitting her maid with a mobile phone.

The model was also charged for beating an assistant while making a film in Canada [Images] in 1998. She pleaded guilty in Toronto in 2000 and, under an agreement with prosecutors, was released without punishment or a criminal record.
