A new BBC show is ready to challenge the fashion world's notions about marketable beauty. Britain's Missing Top Model, like American's Next Top Model and the ilk, brings together several beauties and puts them through a series of competitions where they have to use real life modeling "skills." The winner is awarded with an exclusive photo spread in Marie Claire, and presumably lasting fame and fortune.

The twist? These models all have some form of disability.

Gah. As much as we hate Heather Mills and would rather stick pins in our eyes than give her credit, perhaps all of her gawking around on Dancing With The Stars did some good.

Here in America, we love us some beauty pageants, and Miss USA is no exception. The gossip, spills, and thrills make the ridiculous contest a must see for all fiends of pop culture. But apparently, Heather Mills has a different impression of why Americans tune in to watch the pageant -- to see her gold-digging celebrity face.

It's hard to imagine why she has such a high opinion of her popularity here in the States, when the New York Post is reporting that the audience "booed and hissed when Mills was announced as a judge for the show." Still, somehow she's found a way to convince herself that America loves her. Reportedly, her enormous ego prompted her to launch an all-out attack on the show's producers to fatten up her contract.

Say what you will about Heather Mills. The gold-digging former model may be trying to take Paul McCartney for all he's worth, but that doesn't mean she's not hot.

At least, that's according to FHM readers. The UK magazine is conducting a poll for it's annual list of the top 100 sexiest women, and Mills -- while she's not topping the charts -- is grabbing about 1,000 votes a day, which puts her at number 95. What's even more shocking, is that ranking puts Mills above popular American pin-ups like Gwen Stefani, Paris Hilton and Kirsten Dunst.
So what's driving men to lust after the embattled 40-year-old? According to FHM's deputy editor Chris Bell, the guys love her style. Specifically, they love her "pin-sharp power suits."

Seems hard to believe, but maybe guys in the UK are just more sophisticated than their US counterparts -- or they have a power suit fetish I can't comprehend. One or the other.

As you're probably aware, celebrities don't have to buy most of the designer clothes you see them photographed in at parties or on the red carpet -- as designers often ask high profile people to wear their latest creations as way to promote themselves.

So when Stella McCartney told Heather Mills, that she could only get a 10% discount at her London boutique, she might as well of flipped her former stepmom the bird. In response, Michele Elyzabeth, Mills' "worldwide spokesperson" (whatever that means) released a tersley-worded statement to reporters, lashing back at McCartney, and bemoaning this oh-so-horrible injustice.

But seriously, why is this surprising? Mills has been entangled in a seemingly never-ending legal battle with Stella's dad, Paul, repeatedly refusing to settle for anything less than half of his fortune -- a move that's had her labeled as a gold digger in the English press for weeks. In fact, I can't believe Stella offered her former stepmom any discount at all.

Heather Mills is officially crazy.
