One of the world's top models has had a serious health scare, the Daily Mail reports.

According to reports, 30-year-old model Noemie Lenoir -- who has appeared in the Marks & Spencer ads alongside Twiggy as well as campaigns for L'Oreal, Next, Gap and Victoria's Secret -- appears to have attempted suicide while in Paris.

"We're very sorry to hear this and wish Noemie a very speedy recovery," a spokesman for Marks & Spencer told the souce.

"Our thoughts are with her and her family at this difficult time."

The French-born beauty -- who starred in "Rush Hour 3" -- allegedly took a dangerous mixture of alcohol and drugs and was found unconscious in a forest in La Celle-Saint-Cloud, near the home of her on-off boyfriend, footballer Claude Makelele, the paper reports.

Makelele, who is also the father of Lenoir's five-year-old son, is said to have called an ambulance after finding her passed out in his home, police sources tell the Daily Mail.

Lenoir reportedly then came to and called off the ambulance, but took off and was allegedly found unconscious hours later by a passerby on Sunday afternoon.

"After coming to, Noemie was in a state of great distress and clearly very ill," a source close to the model reportedly told the paper.

"She had clearly attempted to harm herself and had fallen unconscious.

"She was rushed to a nearby hospital and treated for the effects of poisoning. It seems that she may have tried to commit suicide as a cry for help. She's now in a far better condition and recovering."

The paper confirmed the report with a police spokesman, who said, "A young woman age 30 was found unconscious in La Celle-Saint-Cloud on Sunday afternoon.

"She was rushed to hospital for treatment for the effects of an overdose. She is now recovering well."

Sources speculate to the Daily Mail that Lenoir was upset over new boyfriend Carl Hirschmann, a Swiss millionaire who is reportedly facing charges in a sex, extortion and blackmail scandal.

"Noemie is extremely worried about Carl and has been suffering extreme angst," a "highly placed source in Paris" told the paper.

"Her relationship with Claude Makelele is important to her, but only because he is the father of her child. The real love of her life at the moment is Carl."

Stay tuned for more details as the story unfolds. We wish Noemie a speedy recovery.

You have to love yourself before you can love another. Article says she was upset about what was going on in her boyfriend Carl's world, quit focusing your energy on someone involved in some sex, extortion, blackmail scandal and focus on your beautiful 5 year old son. That child deserves a mother that loves him, that puts him first, if you can't do that then give him to someone that will and go off and deal with your own issues stop the madness now before you destroy this child's future.

It's sad to have so much and so little at the same time. In a worldly sense, she was rich. In a spiritual sense, she was bankrupt.

Her baby's father is. She is in love with her boyfriend. She is concerned about the other guy for her son. From the article: "Her relationship with Claude Makelele is important to her, but only because he is the father of her child. The real love of her life at the moment is Carl."

The next time she attempts to erase herself I hope she makes sure her organs can be harvested for transplantation.

If she is concerned about her son, how does he think she will feel if she kills herself. She is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen but she might be a little nuts.

No matter what you have if you are not following Jesus's laws you are never happy. I pray she saves her soul and lives morally from now on. Then her life will be wonderful.

Hey sprint........read the above paragraph again. Her boyfriend is the one facing criminal charges. Her son's father's name is Claude.

A parent should be someone who the child can look up to, not looked down at because they finished their life with a selfish act of desperation.

Why would I want to stay tuned as more crap unfolds. She is alive and that is all that counts. Who gives a rats ass what else happens. The only one I feel sorry for here is her 5yr old child. She put a sex offender first. What a shame.

Obviously very few of you, if any, has any understanding of major depression. It's a deep, and dark place that no one should have to go to. I find the ignorance of your comments disgusting. I hope that none of you or any of your family members ever has to suffer. Stop with the 'God' BS as well.

Get off the sympathy kick. There is no such thing as an attempted suicide.
