10 Questions For America’s Next Top Model: All Stars–The Finale

1. Since Angelea has been André’s fave all season, and André gets what he wants, is it safe to say she’s a shoo-in?

2. Is it possible to be too sad to be a Covergirl? See: Allison.

3. Couldn’t you kinda see Lisa as a used car salesman, though?

4. Is Allison an elf? It would explain why she can’t open her eyes and does that happy little wiggle dance. And the flowing perfect hair.

Daphne Guinness Hates Blue Jeans, Thinks Fashion is ‘Feeding on a Sort of Cadaver’

Daphne Guinness is one of the industry’s favorite eccentrics, known for sporting towering heel-less platforms and skunk hair way before Gaga, and a wardrobe so outrageous it earned its own FIT exhibit. Though her status means she can drop millions on McQueen or use the windows of Barneys as a dressing room, the heiress is actually a little shy. In an unusual burst of publicity, the internet popped out three interviews with Guinness today, including photos of her topless in Interview magazine. Click through to see which items have given her buyers’ remorse, the hazards of trying to be ironic in print, and how current fashion is “feeding on a cadaver:”

How To Do Your Own Japanese-Style 3-D Nail Art and Not Glue Your Fingers Together

When I started getting into nail art, I REALLY got into nail art. Like stayed up until 3am poring over Tumblrs and blogs, eventually landing on archives from the Tokyo Nail Exposition–an annual event in Japan where nail techs turn out mural-like talons and glue anything from pearls and rhinestones to mini plastic Hello Kittys on nails. I decided I, too, needed to have bizarre shapes glued on my fingertips. Flat was not enough. It was time to go 3D.

Envisioning bedazzled, Harajuku-type bows artfully dotted across my nails, I ordered a sets of rhinestones and various colored pearls, flowers and bows, that came with their own bottles of nail glue (which would soon prove my demise).

However, my ambitions were greater than my abilities and the first attempt was a disaster.

Here’s a Look at What Really Goes On Backstage At The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show

The backstage of fashion shows are usually a hot hectic mess. But not Victoria’s Secret. When you have the budget to put on a $12 runway show, backstage is pretty swank. As in, there was a carving station. And models actually eat from it.

The models wear very short pink silk robes while extensions and hair spray and bronzer and shimmering make up is applied in heaps. But they’re all smiles throughout. These girls are having fun. Our street style photog Ashley was there to capture the magic that is Victoria’s Secret backstage. Highlights included Kanye making an appearance and chatting with Alessandra Ambrosio, and Adriana Lima posing for an impromptu lingerie shoot on top of a table.

Check it out.

2. Is anyone else reading André’s live tweets? I quote: “Does Jay Emanuel have a special hairspray to keep that hair straight up. It never moves. Top Model creative Wow.” Yes, André. Yes.

3. Have you ever seen anything more appropriate than models posing in a bowl of salad?

4. Is it just me or are those bathing suits really fugly?

5. Has the word “dragalicious” really been uttered twice already? It’s not even halfway through the episode. #WordAbuse

Watch (and Cringe): Terry Richardson Makes Out With Chloe Sevigny Dressed as Terry Richardson

Last week, we unearthed a photo of Chloe Sevigny dressed as Terry Richardson on the cover of Candy magazine. Richardson just posted his own behind-the-scenes video of the shoot on his blog and… well, this is what apparently went on. Chloe Sevigny, dressed as Terry Richardson, making out with identically dressed real Terry Richardson. While we thought the magazine cover was pretty funny this… this is just icky.

Watch: A Streaker Upstages Hayden Panettiere and Her Cute Tibi Frock at the EMAs

Though Hayden Panettiere’s rococo-print Tibi dress was a hit at last night’s MTV Europe Music Awards, her moment was completely interrupted by, oh, just a male streaker running on stage during her presentation for best song.

The Craziest Looks From The MTV Europe Music Awards

The MTV Europe Music Awards were last night and, to be honest, it was such a spectacle that it’s almost impossible to do a “best dressed” list. Looking through the photos, it seemed most attendants dressed more for a night of raving in some Euro-disco club than a red carpet. There were minor highlights–such as every one of Selena Gomez’ eight outfit changes–but it’s mostly just a parade of insanity.

Click through to see the best of the EMA’s awesomely bad shenanigans.
