Kelly Brook for The White House?

Cute, smiley and as thick as a Double Decker, Kelly Brook (DVDs) might soon be on her way to the very epicentre of idiocy itself, The White House.

Her boyfriend Billy Zane (see Zoolander to understand why merely saying his name is funny) genuinely wants to run for president.

"When he first discussed standing for President, everyone thought Billy was having a laugh.” commented an executive on Zane’s latest movie The Last Drop.

The Daily Mirror are even suggesting the former male model has the backing of grotesque rich lady Ivana Trump, and that he’s preparing to launch his campaign in eight years time.

"He said Ronald Reagan went from actor to President, so he doesn’t see his lack of experience as a hindrance."

Two more glasses of Sancerre and our chatty executive’s still talking…

"He told co-stars Nick Moran and Michael Madsen he thought Kelly being British wouldn’t affect her popularity as First Lady."

We’ll see what Gordon Brown has to say about that.

The White House is certainly a long way from struggling to read the Big Breakfast autocue for our Kelly. She’s currently doing presenting duties alongside the lamentable Patrick Kielty on Celebrity Love Island. In another eight years she might even have a bouffant celebrity hairstyles spot on GMTV.

In many ways checking that the Leader of the Free World is wearing the correct tie is starting to seem more and more like the next logical step for her.
