Jenny McCarthy and Millinery Are Odd Bedfellows in Chrysler Contest

It would appear to be an assignment more fitting for the Queen of England than the queen of toilet humor. But Chrysler Group turned to celebrity Jenny McCarthy on Friday for the finale of its national hat design contest to promote the 2008 Chrysler Sebring convertible.

The hat had to be inspired by the styling of the Sebring convertible and use a portion of the soft top's fabric in the design. Of course, the grand-prize winner gets a 2008 Chrysler Sebring convertible and other goodies, including tickets to Saturday's Kentucky Derby, which will be attended by Queen Elizabeth II.

McCarthy, an actress known for her toilet humor, was chosen as the Playboy Playmate of the Year in June 1994 and is the author of several books, including Jen-X, her autobiography. She is the girlfriend of actor Jim Carrey.

Chrysler explained that the hat contest was inspired by the Kentucky Derby, which it calls "an event also known for its equally stylish removable tops." We tried to resist the temptation to say the same thing about McCarthy.
