Tyra's face says it all: Shock! Dismay! Why is this show — this woman! – still on the air week after numbing week? WHY!!!!!!
To each their own, we suppose.
Last night the fake model asked to go back to from whence she came was the one who "looks like a fucking dude," according to my roommate.
• Auf Wiedersehen: "How else will the new non-Bravo Project Runway screw things up, aside from moving to Lifetime and possibly filming without Nina Garcia? By moving to Los Angeles, the city that pretends to be a fashion capital with its own fashion week but is really just a town where Victoria Beckham pushes her crappy jeans at Kitson." [Jossip]
• Dennis Rodman! Remember that guy? He got arrested last night for roughing up his girlfriend. Now, go back to forgetting about him. [DListed]
• Surprise: Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon were wed in a secluded island ceremony. Unfortunately, they did not stay there after the wedding. [PS]
• Whitney Houston's daughter, Bobbi Kristina, tried to stab her mother. No word yet as to how much of her rage Bobbi Kristina blames on her name. [INO]
• Forbes says Gisele Bundchen now makes more money annually than every other person who stands around and has their picture taken wearing clothes and make-up. [ICYDK]
• Pete Wentz is being sued for assault and, unfortunately, the case has nothing to do with his music and our ears. [Yeeeah]
• You want mayo and shrimp on that pizza slice? Why are puking everywhere? [CityRag]
The French Parliament is on its way to passing an unprecedented bill that recommends fines and prison sentences for people — like proprietors of those hideous and sad “pro-ana” Web sites — who promote and encourage “extreme thinness.”
Alicia Douvall's 12-year-old daughter, Georgia, wants a breast augmentation; no doubt to emulate her mother, who's had a dozen. Alicia, a model, says there's absolutely no way she's going to let Georgia get breast implants at 12. Obviously, the young lady has to wait until she's 16!!!!!!!
"I think a 16-year-old with a nice, sexy figure will do really well as a model as long as she's managed well. That's why I'm happy for Georgia to have a boob job because it will give her a career."
The awful, miserable Alicia has done one kind thing for her daughter and changed Georgia's name to Destiny, a gauche but clear reminder to the world that she had no choice but to become a horribly damaged nightmare.
A nude photograph (sans stars) of la Première Dame of France, Carla Bruni, sold yesterday at Christie's for $91,000. Anyone interested in seeing Carla Bruni naked for $91,000 less than that winning bidder, go here.
After the jump, the artsy but still probably NSFW picture of Gisele Bundchen that fetched $193,000 at the same auction.

These women thought they were half-naked and rubbing down a fancy car for a commercial advertising Sunset Tan, E!'s most forsaken reality show about a bunch of crazy people in LA. Actually, this is a shoot for New York City's newest tourism campaign, tagline: "Had enough of this shit?"

Which married modelizer likes to spread the love when he's away from home? Apparently, he thinks Sydney is far enough away that his famous Mrs. won't find out.
Mean old lady Naomi Campbell has been banned from all British Airways flights. This after the temperamental supermodel berated Airways staff members and spat in a policeman's face when a bag of hers was deemed too heavy to check. "Banning her will send out a worldwide signal that such behavior is totally unacceptable," a source close to the airline said. British Airways competitor Virgin Atlantic, which knows free advertising when it sees it, has come forward to say the cruel, cruel Campbell is more than welcome to verbally abuse its staff.
BECAUSE 'THE HILLS' ISN'T ENOUGH "Sources [say] Audrina Patridge has been offered a reality show spin off by an unknown network following the popularity of her recent nude photo scandal. … Sources report that 'The show would focus on Audrina trying to become a model in LA and working through the struggles all models face.'"
What's the best part about being a model? Is it the hedonistic "champ-aine" parties? Is it the opulent clothes? How about the adoration from teenagers and callow adults? Indeed, all that must be very nice. But we imagine the real reason one becomes a model is for the memories to be made when one is forced to do things like stand in front of a mirror in a bright red bodysuit and manifest oneself as a sexy vamp with menstrual pains. That is the life.

In a shocking revelation, it seems all is not rainbows and puppies on the set of America's Next Top Model. According to an insider, Tyra Banks isn't getting along with the magical orange man, Jay Manuel, who serves as the photo shoot creative director.
It’s gotten so bad that Tyra and Jay aren’t speaking. Tyra barely interacts with the contestants and only wants to show up on judging day.
Tyra wouldn't comment on the rumors, but word has it she's looking for a new ANTM host in an effort to focus on her talk show and her quest to become the next Oprah. "She's really throwing her weight behind her talk show," according to a source — who probably added, "Pun intended."

Last night the ladies of Top Model covered themselves in makeup and then even more paint as the the battle to look beautiful raged on. According to the ANTM judges, contestant Marvita looked the least pretty while slathered in goo, so she was asked to leave. Fin.

• Christie's believes there's a buyer out there willing to pay $3 million for a bunch of pictures of supermodels. The thing is, Christie's is probably right, because very wealthy, horny old men have no idea how to use the Internet. [HT]

America's Next Top Model has a new enemy in Michael Marvisi, the landlord of the loft rented by the show during filming. The contestants, who lived in the $6 million TriBeCa loft for 10 weeks, left the residence in shambles that will cost $500,000 to repair.
The crew 'punched hundreds of holes in the ceiling to hang lighting equipment' and ruined the Brazilian wood floors, forcing the owner to tear them up and install all new flooring when the women moved out three weeks ago.
'These girls not only destroyed the floors, it appears they had food fights. There's ketchup and coffee splattered all over the landlord's $20,000 white drapes. There's lipstick on the walls,' said the insider. 'They moved in furniture and made holes all along the walls.'
According to our source, while the beauties were staying in the 4,200-square-foot loft, they damaged a $15,000 chandelier beyond repair and splashed so much water around, the bathroom was ruined and had to be tested for mold.
OK, we blame the models for some of the damages, but the food fights in question were obviously Tyra's doing. Girl needs to eat! And sometimes when she eats, she gets so excited she throws food around. Simple as that.

We knew we liked Paulina Porizkova, the newest judge on America's Next Top Model. She started her reign by comparing one of the hopefuls to a transvestite (which was pretty accurate). Now she's talking about how this whole competition is kind of a sham:
The fashion business takes pride in creating their own: 'You don’t tell me who’s the next top thing. I’ll tell you.'
Models are not superstars anymore. With cheap computer retouching, anybody can be a cover girl. You can be 50 and have acne, but look gorgeous by the time they’re done with you. Models are back to what they were in the ‘70s: clothes hangers.
Paulina, we love you. It's a shame you're about to feel the wrath of Tyra Banks.

British woman Jourdan Dunn has become the first black model to take to the catwalk for Prada since the beginning of the 21st century. It's a major step for dark girls around the world who hope to one day be evaluated on the shape of their faces and bodies, not the color of their faces and bodies.
