THE DARKNESS - HAWKINS'S DOLL TO HIT AMERICAN TOY STORES

THE DARKNESS frontman JUSTIN HAWKINS is delighted girls will soon be playing with a doll version of himself.

The PERMISSION TO LAND singer, 29, will be replicated into a miniature spandex-wearing toy to hit American shops at the end of the year (04).

Hawkins says, "I'm very flattered.

"When I was young I never had that much success with girls and to think that loads will now be playing with me is brilliant."
