Tyra Banks went on a firing spree and Nigel Barker, Mrs J (Jay Alexander) and Jay Manuel were all let go from America’s Next Top Model. Banks confirmed the news by Tweeting, “Fierce & love 2 my @NigelBarker, @MrJayManuel & Miss J. #ANTM turned us in2 a family. Excited for what the future holds for us. XOXO TyTy” Jay Manuel posted a blog called “It’s a wrap everybody” and was thankful for the last 18 cycles and he’s also excited for his future. Nigel Barker also blogged about his departure and said he is ready to move on to his next projects.
Yes I think that ANTM needed a change because I gave up the show this season, but I think they kept the wrong person. If anyone needs to go it is Tyra Banks. I hate her stupid competitions and how she makes it all about herself. It is time for her to move on.

Tyra Banks is 37 and she is all over 17 year old Justin Bieber in a way that totally creeps me out. Not only is she two decades older than him, she is also older than his mother. Maybe once she realizes that, she will stop wearing skin tight leather one-pieces. Not that she can’t wear it, I just don’t think she just should.

America’s Next Top Model’s first plus-size model Toccara Jones was walking Vibe’s Pre BET Awards Party and the 30 year old looks great. I know she said on Celebrity Fit Club that she didn’t want to lose her curves, but she definitely looks like she reshaped them. I hope she is back on ANTM all-star edition because she was always fun to watch on the show.
Tonight at 8p on The CW, America’s Next Top Model is back and they are changing it up. The audition episode is gone, but I am not going to tell you how we find out who the lucky contestants are… I will tell you that there are two challenged girls this season, one is plus-sized and the other is petite. You know in Tyra’s terms they are like dreckatude. There is one girl I am rooting for to make it to the finals and that is Jaclyn, once you hear talk you will know why I am saying this.
This season is shaping up to be different that the 15 before it. That and this group of girls look different than the ones in the cycles beforehand…granted that is before Tyra’s awful makeovers.
Talking about makeovers, at 9p Shedding for the Wedding debuts and this show pits oversized engaged couples against other and they are competing to lose the weight and if they do…they win their dream wedding. The show is hosted by recent weight loser Sara Rue, who is also getting married, and she does a good job rooting for the couples. The couples are made up of different types and each have their own dream weddings that not all the couples see eye-to-eye on. Like one couple is a gamers, another is eco-friendly, another want a Greek (think college) one and so one. It will be interesting who wins the wedding and who loses for the honeymoon? Did I mention about that? Tune into to Shedding for the wedding to find out…

Ever since the start of America’s Next Top Model started we have seen Nigel Barker with an extremely close buzz cut. But yesterday while he was promoting his book Beauty Equation, we got to see him with some hair on the top of his head. Now that we know what he looks like with hair, I think he needs to shave his head again.
