It was a 90th birthday party to remember for Nelson Mandela, who went big for his star-studded celebration in London's Hyde Park yesterday. Will Smith managed to tear himself away from his non-stop promotional tour of Hancock to catch up with his buddies Robert de Niro, Forest Whitaker and Denzel Washington, and of course to spend some time with Jada. There was no sign of Amy Winehouse, but Naomi Campbell was happy to provide the drama, showing up even though Nelson personally requested she be removed from the guest list after her recent legal issues.

Lots more photos including Bill Clinton, Emma Thompson, Uma Thurman, Pierce Brosnan and others, so just read more.

    And yes, what the hell is that crazy ass wearing? i wouldnt have let her in. Where the hell did she think she was going!? And that Nicole chick from the Pussycat Dolls - what was she thinking? I guess she just used to wearing skanky clothes she knows nothing else.

    Nelson Mandella - truly an exceptional person, the world is a better place because he's in it.

    Naomi Campbell is a disgrace.

    Is that REALLY an apropriate outfit for a 90 year old b-day party. Seriously you need a wool shawl, support hose, and othopedic shoes.

    Yeah, she was disinvited but come on now really "The Crackie of Camden" Amy Winehouse (although she no showed) was paid 2 Mil to perform but Naomi can't come for slapping some hoes.

    If Mandela wasn't African, I'd say that was some racist sh!t LOL

    I have a feeling Oprah probably had Gayle backhand her. You know O does not do her own dirty work..

    naomi campbell is beyond inappropriate - she needs some help. in fact she needs to just sit in jail for a while so she learns some respect! she's too used to getting what she wants in life with money.

    Naomi was removed from a list where she may have been called upon to present one of the musical acts at Hyde Park concert. She was NOT removed from the charity dinner guest list.

    She wasn't banned from the party, but she was asked (By Madela himself) not to be a presenter on stage with him...

    Agree with EVERYONE above (despite my intense love of her) that Naomi looks highly inappropriate~

    I am not at all surprised by Naomi's outfit. She is all kinds of ridiculous.

    Photo 24... Neil Diamond, Kim Catrall, and Bob Geldof together. That's so random. Wonder what those three were talking about.

    In defense of Naomi, she just wanted to flash Mandela and leave! But, no, the "Big O" decided to punish her and make her stay amidst all the class acts where she'd just have to sit and think about what she'd done!! God, I can't stand "Big O!"
