My New Favorite Blonde Villain

In my opinion, the best villains are not only evil and powerful, but also a little bit flamboyant and awesome. Kind of like David Bowie in Labyrinth. Yeah, he was the bad guy, he kidnapped and threatened babies, and those stretch pants were entirely unnecessary, but still, you couldn't help thinking that he was pretty darn cool. Other notable blonde villains include Kiefer Sutherland in the Lost Boys, Amanda Woodward, and Billy Zabka in the Karate Kid.

Over in England, there's a new villain in town. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Heather Mills:

Where do I even begin? She's completely nuts. She wears multicolored pantsuits. She makes audacious demands. She represents herself in court. She poured a glass of water on the head of her ex-husband's lawyer. Everyone hates her. And she has a fake leg.
Basically, she's a real-life soap opera villain. I could totally picture her living in a lair, and I think that's sort of awesome.

I wholly object to Tom Brady's presence on the list of villains. However, I do look forward to my new rodeo power suit.

Hmm...It AND Ronald McDonald? Clowns are mad evil.
