Yes, Naomi Campbell is obviously some kind of monster. But exhaustive research indicates that she's not a vampire.

Consider:

• Here she is in the direct St. Tropez sunlight with her boyfriend, Brazilian entrepreneur Marcus Elias, and she hasn't crumbled into a pile of dust.
• Unlike vampires, who can transform themselves into winged bats, Campbell has quite a bit of difficulty flying.
  
• Her smile, questionably authentic as it may be, doesn't reveal any fangs.
  
• Vampires can't see their own reflections. Is there any question that Campbell spends hours a day gazing at her own reflection?
• By drinking the blood of their victims, vampires maintain eternal life. Though she's only 38 years old, Campbell shows definite signs of deterioration—such as losing her hair.
