Kelly Cutrone Joins America's Next Top Model

Kelly Cutrone of MTV's The Hills, and some other show on Bravo, is joining Tyra Banks at the judging table for cycle 18 of a show that no one watches anymore. Kelly is excited about her new role on America's Next Top Model, but we're not so sure Andre Leon Talley is. The feminine as hell Vogue magazine fashion icon is out.

kelly, tyra

"I am a huge fan of America's Next Top Model and have watched the show for years," Kelly said.

"Having worked in various aspects of the fashion industry over the course of my career, I am excited for this new opportunity and hope to bring a different perspective to the show."

Really?! Kelly's a super b!tch and Tyra's a super diva. This may get ugly.

Tyra Banks Gives Kim Kardashian Wedding Dress Advice

Tyra Banks and Kim Kardashian are friends apparently, and while they probably spend most of their time talking about how neither of them can remember why they're rich and famous, lately they've been discussing Kim's upcoming wedding. Tyra has played an important role in the planning process (or so she claims) and she was even one of the first to catch a glimpse of Kim's much-anticipated (and no doubt outrageously expensive) bridal gown.

Tyra still thinks she's the world's foremost fashion expert, so she gave Kim "advice" about the dress and Kim texted her pics of her final selection for approval. “What she showed me was so beautiful,” Tyra says. “It’s interesting because they were pictures from a fitting, but it actually looked like the wedding, like her hair was done. So it was like a real almost dress rehearsal and she looked absolutely beautiful.”

A wedding dress rehearsal? Look, I know you only get married once (ideally) and the Kardashians overdo everything, but this is getting ridiculous. Someone needs to tell Kim that it may be fun to play princess, but she's not actually royalty.

Tyra Banks Quits 'The Tyra Show'

Tyra Banks has always said that she looks up to Oprah, and the most self-absorbed talk show host in history was reportedly inspired to end her show after Lady O did.

Tyra Banks quits

Tyra Banks thinks that she's a Simon Cowell in her own right and she's quitting The Tyra Show to work on launching Bankable Studios, a N.Y.-based film production company.

Tyra said, “This will be the last season of The Tyra Show. I’ve been loving having fun, coming into your living rooms, bedrooms, hair salons for the past 5 years.”

Tyra wants to bring "positive images of women to the big screen," an industry insider said. Shouldn't she start on the silver screen where Top Model contestants are condemned for being "fat" when they're not, among other nonsense the superficial competition promotes?

Tyra said: “My next huge steps will allow me to reach more women and young girls to help us all feel as fierce as we truly are. There’s a lot cooking right now and a lot of fire burning in my heart. I really love you all."

Based upon Tyra's track record, it would be delusional to assume that she's not going to excel in any venture she pursues. But there's no other show on TV like hers and it's very unfortunate that she's pulling the plug. I miss her already.

Glamour Women of the Year Awards Red Carpet Pics: Rihanna's Dress Steals the Spotlight

Rihanna wore a dress that looks like something she pulled from an aisle at her local Home Depot.

Rihanna's dress resembles house blinds and those folding fans. It's a little too busy for my preference, and it looks messy at the bottom. You could clothe a small village of babies in Africa with all the material that went into her frock. But I digress.

Rihanna was in New York last night to pick up her Woman of the Year award from Glamour magazine. Tyra Banks, Serena Williams and many others also showed up.

Serena Williams: Memoir 'On the Line' Tackles Body Image Issues

Serena Williams' body is almost as famous as the tennis star herself.

She has a booty that my family could serve Thanksgiving dinner on and she's all muscle from head to toe. Isn't having so much muscle the very opposite of the definition of "fat?" She's fit and beautiful and thick and at least she has curves, and then some!

Serena appears on the Tyra Banks show, which airs today, where she promotes her memoir, On the Line. She talks about all the "fat" headlines and how that made her feel. I didn't even know Serena had written a memoir until this interview. Promotion like works or something.

Here's some pictures of Serena that I uploaded for you. Fat or not? I say she's just thick and curvy.

Tyra Banks: Nightline Interview Gets Awkward

Late last week Tyra Banks' Nightline interview was posted online. I checked it out over the weekend and I couldn't resist posting it. Tyra Banks is like the fakest b*tch that you don't ever wanna meet. She's interviewed by the always fierce Cynthia McFadden and the two square off as Tyra tries to "smile with her eyes" as her publicist kindly tells Cynthia to STFU.

One of the main reasons why I dislike Tyra is that she tries too hard! She's so fake and snobby, yet I mostly remain on the fence with her. Even out of the people I know that have Tyra - some say she's a b*tch, others says she's really nice. Aaaaaaahhhhhhh! She's like a chameleon.

Cynthia doesn't back down when Tyra and her publicist want her to. Now this is good TV.

 

Tyra Banks Reveals Real Hair That's Real Wet

Tyra Banks had press releases sent out to the media announcing that the talk show host would reveal her "real hair" today. Tyra walked out and she did just that, and it was frightening.

Tyra Banks' forehead would make great real estate for a new super Walmart. I didn't know it was so massive. Also, Tyra kept her hair soaking wet and that's cheating. But whatev. Leave it to TyTy to make it such a big deal that she isn't, in fact, bald-headed.

Tyra Banks Dyes Her Hair Dark

Tyra Banks has left her dramatic, long blonde weave behind and has chosen a darker hue for a new look. She looks amazing.

Tyra Banks dark hair wig, hot or not?

It's a rarity whenever TyTy actually goes dark, and she's kinda like Brit Brit; Ms. Banks brings the blonde back before you know it, but I'm hoping that she'll stick with this. Tyra loves to put thick platinum streaks in her bold, blonde weaves and it looks awful most of the time. The darker, straight locks give her a new reason to smile with confidence and not just with her eyes. Heh. I haven't heard Tyra's "smile with your eyes" comment in a long time cause I don't watch Top Model anymore. Anyway, mami's lookin' good!

Tyra Banks Faces Stalker Brady Green In Court

Tyra Banks stalker

I have issues with the legal system, many issues that is, but I'll just mention one. Why is it that the stalkee has to go to court and testify against the stalker?

I am so disturbed that victims of stalkers have to tell their stalker how terrified that person has made them. Isn't that making yourself even more vulnerable and surrendering some of your power to that jerk?! The last thing a psycho needs to hear is that they have control over you and have affected your way of life and mental stability. I think it's all bullshit sprinkles and that it shouldn't go down this way.

Tyra Banks sounded off in court today against her stalker, Brady Green.

Here is some of what Tyra said,

"I fear my safety. I feel extremely vulnerable. I fear the safety of my staff. My family. [My staff doesn't] tell me about fans. They said this person threatened one of my staffers. I was at work one day about to leave and a bunch of people on my staff said, 'No! You can't go.' [Green] got past security and you need to be here. Never in my career had staff reacted like this. I had to stay in my dressing room for a while."

"My life has changed significantly, even the people who know me, I don't live that sheltered life. I like to walk around my neighborhood. I run outside. I like to go to the movies by myself, eat meals by myself. My company hired security. When I'm at the movies, in a restaurant, they are there with me. I can't jog outside anymore. I would go with a trainer or alone but with security present."

How sad! Tyra left the courthouse escorted by lawyers and did not comment. Green faces a maximum of 90 days in jail if convicted.

Tyra Banks, The Domestic Violence Specialist

tyra_banks_oprah

While Tyra Banks did look pretty during her Oprah show appearance, the only thing overflowing from her mouth was verbal diarrhea. Tyra's narcissism needs to be treated with high voltage shock therapy treatments. And I wanna watch.

Tyra managed to shift the focus of everyone's stories back onto her, reminiscing on the time that she was in an "emotionally abusive relationship" a decade ago. Keep in mind that the Oprah show profiled two young women who died at the hands of their abusive boyfriends, not to mention all the others who were actual victims of domestic violence.

TyTy always gives snippets of her biography at any given moment, she's quite a generous one. Ms. Banks is a great host but I rather have her talk about her irritable bowel syndrome than listen to her pretend that emotional abuse is comparable to the tragedies of those who were beaten for years and then brutally murdered.
