The debating skills of glamour model Jodie Marsh and pop stars The Cheeky Girls are to be tested at the Oxford Union this autumn term.
Miss Marsh will be joined by American TV producer and personality David Gest in arguing, "this house would rather be good-looking than good".
Also on the term card is night club entrepreneur Peter Stringfellow arguing that capitalism can save the world.
David Beckham's former assistant Rebecca Loos is also due to debate.
She will be speaking against the Cheeky Girls over the motion, "this house believes that with great celebrity comes great responsibility".
The university debating society has also hosted Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Mother Teresa and the Dalai Lama.
But the forum, which dates from 1823, also has a history of attracting controversial figures, with recent speakers including historian David Irving, singer Michael Jackson and BNP leader Nick Griffin.
Speakers for this Michaelmas term include former drugs baron turned author Howard Marks along with singer Will Young, interior designer Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen and former chat-show host Sir Michael Parkinson.
British sprinter Dwain Chambers and TV presenter Keith Chegwin will also address the union.
Political speakers this term include former French president Valery Giscard d'Estaing while Conservative Oliver Letwin MP will back the motion, "this house has no confidence in Her Majesty's government", opposed by minster for skills and universities John Denham.
