Nothing Should Ever Be Spinning Off Of Top Model

America's Next Top Model's Miss J (Alexander) and Mister Jay (Manuel) are getting their own show, far, far away from that crazy monster known as Tyra Banks. The problem? The new show's premise has already been done before. Many, many times.

Here's the description of the new Operation Fabulous:

'Jay and J' (as Manuel and Alexander are called on Top Model) will travel the country giving women makeovers. In various towns, the duo will select five participants and give them Top Model-style overhauls — how to dress, wear their hair and makeup and bring out their confidence with the support of family, friends and their community.

Oh man, that show is awesome! Remember when it was called Tim Gunn's Guide to Style? Or How to Look Good Naked? Or What Not to Wear? Or Queer Eye For the Straight Guy?

Take Two

Today is kind of a milestone of mine, because it's my one year anniversary at Jossip HQ. I started out as an intern over at Jossip.com for a few months before being moved over to Mollygood full-time, so it's not my real first anniversary yet, but I'm sentimental and celebrate anytime I can. I remember showing up at what I have dubbed The Tiniest Starbucks In The World across the street from Bryant Park to interview for the internship and staring across out the window at all of the celebrities and models (and Nigel Barker!). I hadn't a clue I would be there a year later, which is what made this Fashion Week exciting for me.

Talk Shows

Is your town big enough to get basic cable but small enough to alienate all the funny, flamboyant gays who would have made great friends had they not left for the coasts years ago? Well today's your lucky day, hayseed:

In a rare move for a cable network, Lifetime is looking to launch a daytime talk show, handing out a pilot order for a talker hosted by Carson Kressley.

It is part of an effort by the female-centered cable net to add original programming during the day, when it currently airs mostly off-net sitcoms.

Let's hope this one doesn't go the way of the ill-fated Christopher Lowell show.
