Naomi ranked #5 in this year's Australia's Top 50 Entertainers list released on Wednesday by Business Review Weekly, with an aproximate 2005 income of AUS$17 million (US$13 million).

A never before seen Naomi picture is featured on the August issue of Italian Magazine. Here's a sneek peek of it.

It is reported that Naomi performed a daredevil stunt for a new magazine covershoot, posing perilously on the edge of New York City landmark the Chrysler building.

Looking ravishing in a lilac Roberto Cavalli gown, the actress left everyone astonished as she stood atop one of the gargoyles on the 61st floor of the Chrysler Building while posing for the September issue of Conde Nast Traveler magazine, which offers travel ideas, competitions, and guides. According to witnesses, while the crew members seemed nervous about the shoot, the 37 year old Australian beauty looked confident as she took position for the near fatal shot. “How can I book Naomi for jobs, if she’s dead?” The New York Post quoted her manager, as saying. After some hesitation, Watts crawled onto the gargoyle. “I couldn’t believe what I was being asked to do,” she recalled later. But the daredevil in her won out: “I knew I had to do it!”

I just uploaded 29 gorgeous pictures from the Robert Erdmann Photoshoot, used to grace the covers of Glamour Magazine. Just click on the thumbnails to view them. Big thanks to Richard for letting me post them! Enjoy! Note: As these pics aren't mine, please DO NOT reproduce these pictures elsewhere.

Just a reminder that Naomi is nominated in the Scream Queen category for "King Kong" at the 2006 Spike TV's Scream Awards, the 1st Annual Televised Event Celebrating Horror, Sci-Fi, Fantasy And Comic Books.

Welcome back, everybody! As you can easily notice, Naomirama is back, with a new host: I wanted to relaunch the Gallery properly, but I couldn't do it with my former host, due to space reasons. But now I'm very happy to announce that Gertie (thanks a lot!) gave me the chance to keep this site alive here at Fan-Sites.org!

Go ahead and enjoy!
