Terrence Howard denies he is dating Naomi Campbell, despite rumours to the contrary. The `Crash’ star insists he is only friends with the catwalk queen, with whom he has become acquainted in the past fortnight – and that he is determined to woo back his estranged wife, Lori ocCommas. The 38-year-old says, “You’ve got to remember, I’m still married. I’m still trying to get my wife back. I’m always going to, you know, until she puts the last nail that coffin, and I’m hoping she doesn’t.” The couple, who have two daughters and one son, have had an on-off relationship since they wed in 1989. Terrence says, “Lori filed for divorce but I’m still trying to campaign. My three kids are campaigning for me, too. They’ll make sure that anybody who comes sniffing around gets a bloody nose.” Terrence speculates about why it was reported he and Naomi were an item: “I’m linked to Naomi Campbell in a sense that we both have a mentor in [music mogul] Quincy Jones. We’ve shared a lot of great moments and ideas. That’s the truth of it. I’ve only known her two weeks.” [13 March 2007]
