Heather Mills will be a judge at this year's Miss USA pageant.

The 40-year-old former model - who was awarded $50 million in her divorce settlement with Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney this week - will sit on the judging panel for the annual beauty contest at Las Vegas' Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino on April 11.

The event, to be broadcast live on TV network NBC, will be co-hosted by siblings Marie and Donny Osmond. Heather and Marie have both been contestants on TV talent show 'Dancing With The Stars'.

Heather - who lost her left leg below the knee in a police motorcycle accident in 1993 - began modeling in the late 80s. At the beginning of her career, she worked as a "glamor model" and posed for a number of sexually explicit photos for a pornographic book.

The German tome, entitled Die Freuden der Liebe (The Joys of Love), featured naked images of Heather performing sex acts on a male model and smothered in baby oil. Other pictures showed her acting out bondage scenes with whips and simulating sex. Heather denied the book was pornographic, insisting it was a "sex education manual."
