Top Model

Oh yes, and who do you think will win Top Model tonight? Jenna who looks like Sasha, Salesha who looks like a pop star, or Chantal, who’s really, really blonde? We think Salesha because they’ve given her the nicest edit… and because she went to Tyra’s summer camp.

Model Bat Mitzvah!

One of our big Top Model peeves is that nearly all the girls are too old to begin a modeling career. Right now, most of the top girls are 19 and 20, and the ones that are 25-30 (Irina, Raquel, Angela, Missy) have been working for a long time. Even Agyness, 24, has been stomping Read more →

The Times Is Team Heather

The New York Times has a piece today on Heather Kuzmich, the Top Model contestant who just got booted. Most of it is stuff you already know: Heather has Asperger’s Syndrome, she often can’t look people in the eye, she still looks ridiculously good on camera. It’s also no surprise that Heather wants to be Read more →

Falling Out with Top Model

Those housebound with hangovers this weekend no doubt caught the Top Model marathon, which ran longer than a James Cameron movie and proved just as frightening. Watching Jaslene win (again) and Jade suck (always) was fun, but what we find most fascinating is the way the producers go out of their way to drive the Read more →

Jaslene Books Jobs, Emails Tyra

We met Jaslene Gonzalez last week, very randomly, and we learned something very fun: She’s rumored to have booked a fashion campaign, for Eve’s new line, Fetish (another celebrity clothing range!). According to a source close to the brand, that makes her just the second Top Model champ ever to score a series of clothing Read more →

Diddy Digs Reality Babes

Today’s reality byte: We hear Asia Nitollano, the winner of the Pussycat Dolls show, has landed an impressive modeling gig: After posing for a few catalog shots for the Sean John women’s line, she’s been named one of the faces of Angels, the brand’s new collection of sportswear. Inspired by Charlie’s Angels, the line also Read more →

Tyra Says, Ignore My Advice!

We’ll admit we give Tyra a very hard time on this site, but it’s only because she has the attention and influence of so many girls. That’s why we smirked when our MySpace got a message today about appearing on her show. “Hi, This is NOT SPAM. We’re doing a show about living a long, Read more →

Will Jaslene Get Booked?

Will America’s Next (or just latest) Top Model pose for Fashion Week? We don’t know – but we do have her show card from Elite. Jaslene looks really good in her industry composite, and we know her wiry frame will look great in the menswear shapes hugging the catwalk. But we haven’t heard of her Read more →

Jaslene on the Job

We hear Jaslene has one of her first castings since Top Model today. It’s not for Prada (which was Gemma’s first campaign), or BCBG (Stam), or Dolce and Gabbana (Hilary Rhoda). Instead, she’ll be up for ads by Fetish, the clothing line started by Eve. Coincidentally, Eve was a guest judge on last season’s Top Read more →
