TV series to search for top disabled model
The BBC is to launch a TV talent search for disabled models.
'Britain's Missing Top Model' will see eight women compete before a panel of industry experts.
The five-part series aims "to challenge preconceived notions of beauty". The winner will land a spread in a women's glossy magazine, shot by one of the world's top fashion photographers.
BBC3 controller Danny Cohen said: "This series aims to challenge the artificial boundaries that seem to exist in the beauty and fashion industries.
"It would be great if in the future we began to see more disabled models gracing the covers of the world's magazines."
The competition is open to disabled women aged between 18 and 30.
It has a similar format to 'America's Next Top Model', which was hosted by Tyra Banks. The eight finalists will live together in an apartment and complete a different challenge each week.
Industry experts will train them for photoshoots, location work and the catwalk.
The series will be supported by Ouch, the BBC's disability website, and is being made in consultation with Disability Action in Islington, North London.

Lohan Turns Down Fur Coat Offer
Lindsay Lohan has turned down a nightclub owner's offer to bail her out of her latest legal woe - because she insists she is innocent. Model Masha Markova has filed papers at Manhattan's State Supreme Court claiming Lohan stole her $11,000 mink coat as she left a New York nightclub after a birthday party in January . The coat was later returned, but only after Lohan had been photographed wearing an identical fur on the same night. Nightclub boss John Englebert stepped in on Wednesday and offered to settle the case for Lohan, and buy her her own mink coat. But the actress insists she doesn't need his help. Her representative says, "She already has one (fur coat)." Adding of the coat mystery, the rep adds, "If she took it, she took it by mistake. There are worse mistakes to make."See Also

Mystery Surrounds Fake George Clooney Clothing Line
Two people are reportedly being investigated for alleged fraud, after they attempted to launch a clothing line using Hollywood actor George Clooney's name to garner publicity. The actor told reporters in Rome, where he was promoting his new film, ‘Leatherheads’, that someone is falsely using his name to launch and promote the clothing line. "If someone tries to sell you clothes or watches that are based on me, don't buy them," he said. The ANSA news agency has reported that Milan tax police seized about 20 garments and watches, as well as fake documentation. ANSA said the probe stemmed from a complaint filed by Clooney, and that the line was scheduled to be launched next week in Milan.Photo courtesy of The Associated Press. Taken by Carolyn Kaster.
Whitney Houston - Houston Cleared Of Drug Charges
Misdemeanour drug possession charges against WHITNEY HOUSTON have been dropped by a Hawaiian judge, following a substance abuse assessment of the star.
Houston, 44, was suspected of possessing marijuana while travelling through a Hawaiian airport in 2000 with ex-husband Bobby Brown.
The pop superstar allegedly disposed of less than half an ounce (28 grams) of the drug and three partially smoked marijuana cigarettes, before boarding a United Airlines flight from Keahole-Kona airport to San Francisco, California.
The assessment, submitted in February 2008 by a New Jersey substance abuse counselor, stated Houston does not require treatment for substance abuse. She is now cleared of all charges.
Rumours of drug abuse have surrounded the star since her marriage to R+B singer Brown, and she spent time in rehabilitation facilities in 2004 and 2005. Houston's record label bosses maintain she has been clean of all illegal substances since her most recent stint three years ago.
