Heather Mills was yesterday voted Britain’s moodiest celeb in a poll.
Sir Paul McCartney's ex-wife knocked supermodel Naomi Campbell into second place.
Pouting Victoria Beckham came third, followed by junkie singer Pete Doherty. Oasis star Noel Gallagher was fifth.
A spokesman for alternative remedy firm Karma, which quizzed 1,500 Brits, said: “Heather’s rant on GMTV when she likened herself to Princess Diana earned her the place of the moodiest celebrity.”
Rest of top ten: 6. Singer Amy Winehouse; 7. MP John Prescott; 8. Coldplay's Chris Martin; 9. Comic Jack Dee; 10. TV’s Anne Robinson.

Now..I know there's a world financial crisis going on, but I went for a Chinese the other night in Oslo, right - and guess what? No fortune cookie! What the fuck is all that about? How is anyone supposed to plan for future events pertaining to one's personal situation if you don't know what the future holds? If the Chinese can't afford to put cryptic analysis of future events (with lottery numbers) on a strip of paper inside a bendy-biscuit then we are well and truly fucked!! I wonder if Obama can sort that?
Talking of whom - I see me and him are going head-to-head for an NME award. Burnin' Natty sent me a full colour page piece they ran about it in the Manchester Evening News. Ganja Prince remarked that it looked like a boxing promo poster. Apparently Obama's people have asked for a framed copy to put in the bog at the White House!
We were in Stockholm last night. That band The Caesars have been opening up for us the last few nights. I've liked them for a while. They've got a few good tunes and 1 fuckin' belter called "Kick You Out". And a very smart, very good drummer.
The crowds are getting younger and younger. Kids! Actual real kids.
Been watching MTV a bit on this tour (don't ask me why?). That Justin Timberlake is in nearly every fuckin' video - even his own! Does he ever have a day off?
France today. Dunno where. Some city that sounds like a baby-girl's name.
A little bit of pro footage can be found by clicking here.

A short interview with Noel Gallagher in Oslo can be found here, he talks about what he misses when on tour, and being attacked onstage in Canada.
Also another small clip with a short interview with Liam and Noel and snippets from the Oasis show in Oslo (Norway) at 8:20 into the video can be found here.
Noel Gallagher reckons playing guitar steered him away from a life of crime.
The Oasis axeman, who lived in the Manchester suburb of Burnage as a child, tells Total Guitar magazine: “All the lads on the council estate I grew up with, apart from the ones that have settled down and have kids, they’re all still drug-dealing, going out being ****ing idiots.
“So, let’s put it this way, there’s one less criminal in Burnage because I picked up the guitar. There’s one less shoplifter in Manchester.”
The rockers are set to have some fun in the sun this summer — they’re headlining Spanish festival Benicassim.
They join Kings Of Leon, Franz Ferdinand and Paul Weller on a bill that’s shaping up rather nicely.
And organisers promise more big names will be revealed in the next few weeks.
The bash takes place on the east coast of Spain from July 16 to 19.
Oasis, San Miguel and sunshine — now that’s a summer holiday.

Where've we been since last time? Fuck knows. Gothenburg last night. That much I do know.
Met up with some old friends. From that band "The Soundtrack Of Our Lives". They were dj'ing at some club. Pretty fuckin' rowdy, as I remember. Think there was a definite Viking element to the evening.
Met the Swedish cultural minister last night! Bit of a dude, by all accounts. Lord knows what shit I filled his head with. Sven Goran Eriksson probably.
Just on the way to Oslo. Norway.
I like Scandinavia . Very clean.
I must go. I think I'm starting to ramble.
In a bit.
GD.
PS: Still trying to get to the bottom of who had 1 glass of Port and a packet of cheese and onion crisps in Amsterdam the other night. Everyone's taking the 5th. The smart money's on the guy from Q Magazine though. We may never know.
Oasis guitarist and songwriter Noel Gallagher has declared that his guitar playing is "average at fucking best". And his mate Paul Weller even agrees, calling Gallagher's playing "rudimentary".
The two discuss guitar playing in an exclusive joint-interview in the new edition of Total Guitar.
Gallagher says of his playing: "It facilitates what I do in Oasis, know what I mean? I'm unfortunate enough that two of my best mates are Johnny Marr of The Smiths and Paul Weller. Those two are virtuosos to me although neither of them would admit it. On the electric guitar they're it. So if you're asking me how do I compare to those two – and I like to compare myself to the greats – I'm average at fucking best."
No "guitar god"
"Bless him, but his playing is rudimentary," reckons Weller. "But Noel doesn't pretend to be a guitar god. He's very good at putting chords together and he's got a distinctive style in terms of his chord sequences and his rhythm playing. It's recognisable, I suppose…"
MusicRadar might disagree, to a point. These three Oasis tracks, at least show that Gallagher is a talented player with a brilliant ear for melody.
Live Forever There's nothing particularly complicated about the playing, but this is a melodic solo in the best sense – you can almost sing it.
Rocking Chair A rare acoustic solo by Gallagher, surprisingly fleet-fingered and with some effective alternate picking
Slide Away Though Gallagher admits to channelling the spirit of Neil Young for this Definitely Maybe track, when played live he extends it with some impressive bluesy bends and motifs.
Or are we being kind? Is Gallagher a good guitar player, or just a decent songwriter with limited playing talent?
