Victoria's Secret model Veronica Varekova is not too pleased with Maxim magazine. According to the Daily News, the lad pub used a shot of the model (which we think might be this one we found on Google) for its cover this month without her consent or permission.

After turning down Maxim, FHM, and Stuff, Verekova is naturally upset that the magazine used her image, along with an article that did not contain an interview, for the cover. (Think Jessica Alba on the cover of Playboy.)

The saucy shots, showing the luscious lovely dressed only in panties, stockings and high heels, were taken more than a year ago for a feature on Victoria's Secret by British magazine GQ.

"They were too racy for GQ to use, and they really should have been destroyed," said a source close to the model.

Well, EIC Ed Neeham is on the way out, so he probably figured, he'd get one last high circ issue under his belt, and let the ex Stuff editor deal with the whole "getting sued" thing.
