 America's Next Top Model Shakedown: "The Show Needs a New Boost"

The America's Next Top Model bigwig dropped a massive shocker last week when she announced that she was firing three of the show's mainstays—Nigel Barker, Jay Manuel and J. Alexander—who also happen to be her close chums. Many took the move as a firm bid to gussy up the show and juice up sagging ratings, and now Banks is speaking out about the shakedown and what it means for her and her axed costars...

Banks is definitely big on the family thing: Shortly after news broke of the firings, she tweeted: "Fierce & love 2 my Nigel, Jay & Miss J. ANTM turned us in2 a family. Excited for what the future holds for us."

                       Ready for Another Riot? Top Model NYC Auditions Rebooked

The April 11 event will serve as the final day of searching for the cast of the 13th cycle of the hit, Tyra Banks-led reality contest. According to a release from the network, the series is still seeking woman 5'7" or shorter, ages 18-27. Ladies looking to strut their stuff should check cwtv.com later this week for location details.

The mid-March auditions came to a grinding halt when a broken down BMW spewing smoke stopped in front of the masses of people waiting outside a Central Park hotel. Several people shouted that a bomb had gone off and, coupled with a fight further down the line, chaos erupted, resulting in a massive stampede and at least six people injured. Three people were arrested as well.

Victoria Beckham’s high maintenance style

Unusual sportswear 
While we applaud Victoria for outfit co-ordination here, but there is something a little off about dressing like you’re off to the office when you’re actually going to sports event......:( Then again, if we owned a Birkin bag and Roland Mouret dress we would want to wear it at every occasion, no matter where we were going.

Crazy shoe game 
We know VB is crazy about heels but in this case she actually isn’t wearing any! Those thigh-high rubber boots are completely heel-less. Only a fashionista like Ms Beckham can pull off an outfit like this. If it was us we would look like budget Lady Gaga impersonators.

Not many women can pull of a gold metallic form-fitting costume. Showing off a toned body on the Spice Girls reunion tour in 2007, Victoria owned the stage in a series of couture outfits designed by Roberto Cavalli.With a slender size 6 frame, an A-list social circle and a revolving high-fashion wardrobe, Victoria Beckham is far from the average woman. But for her latest cover shoot featured in Harper's Bazaar UK, Posh has insisted that she is just ‘like the rest of us’, especially when it comes to her catwalk designs.

Transatlantic glamour 
Arriving at Milan’s Linate airport from LAX in a grey military-style outfit Posh looked like she had just flown a plane rather than being aboard one. This outfit is a little OTT for a long-haul international flight, don’t you think?

Yummy mummy How many mothers have you seen tottering about in six-inch stilettos, while holding their baby in tow??????? That’s right, none. Ms Beckham claims to be like every woman but we are pretty sure most mums yearn to look this stylish within weeks after delivering their newborn.

Fashion Police

Oh so its that serious now? Kim K was spotted recently wearing two yellow gold and diamond earrings...a K and a W, which obviously stands for Kanye West.

                                                                          Bigfoot alert! Quick! Get your camera!

A blond Nicki Minaj was snapped arriving at Heathrow Airport in London yesterday looking like the bride of Sasquatch in a bright pink furry hoodie and massive fur-lined, black and white, Marc by Marc Jacobs Sky Snow Boots. The "Starships" singer is in London to do some promotion for her new album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded

Dakota Fanning showed up to the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival Vanity Fair launch party held at the State Supreme Courthouse in NYC yesterday in an adorable bright pink, silk taffeta mini-dress, simple nude pumps and a very unexpected golden halo atop her head. Such a pretty outfit, but that headgear just doesn't serve any purpose unless it's attached to braces. Maybe this has something to do with that interview she recently gave.

Just say yes to the dress ring!!!!!!!!

Mere days after Angelina Jolie debuted the dazzling tablet-shaped engagement ring that fiancé Brad Pitt (aw, that has a really nice, um, ring to it, no?) helped create, the knockoffs have already hit the market. This kind of fan frenzy over a celeb's engagement bling hasn't been seen since Prince William popped the question to Kate Middleton with his late mother Princess Diana's sapphire stunner last year. So are the copycats dead ringers for the 36-year-old actress' Robert Procop-designed finger candy? Plus, who's making them, where can you get one, and will it set you back an estimated $500,000, too?

           Bitch Stole My Look: Fergie vs. La La Anthony

            No wallflowers here!
Fashionistas Fergie and La La Anthony have embraced spring in Givenchy's bold, blue-and-pink printed sheath.
The Black Eyed Pea partied the night away in the curve-hugging dress at her 37th birthday bash in Sin City, paired with a little black clutch, pointy-toe stilettos from her own shoe line and long, sexy blond curls.

WTF!!! Haaaaahahah

MONEY IN THE BANK! WHITNEY HOUSTON LEAVES ENTIRE ESTATE TO BOBBI CHRISTINA

Whitney Houston’s only child (Bobbi Christina) just landed herself one of the biggest paydays without even working a damn job a day in her life!

According to reports, Whitney Houston ‘will’ was filed today in Atlanta and Nippy left every single thing to Bobbi! It must be nice!Whitney Houston’s 19-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina got inconceivably richer the day her mother died — because the singer left Bobbi 100% of her assets in her will … an estate valued at around $20 million.

According to reports, Whitney’s will doesn’t enumerate specific assets — but she leaves ALL furnishings, clothing, personal effects, jewelry and cars to her surviving children … i.e. Bobbi. According to reports, Houston’s money will be put in a trust — which Bobbi will have access to in stages … earning a portion when she turns 21, another chunk when she turns 25, and the rest when she turns 30.  The will was just filed today in Atlanta. Whitney signed it back in 1993, a month before she gave birth to Bobbi. I hope Bobbi Christina does not just go and blow the money. Hopefully, she will invest and maybe open a few businesses to continue her cash flow or something but man $20 milli!

Geesh! Why can’t anyone leave me $20 million……..

AMBER ROSE CONFIRMS THAT KIM KARDASHIAN WAS “SEXING” KANYE WEST DURING THEIR RELATIONSHIP!

During an interview with Cipha, Rosenberg, and K Foxx over at Hot 97, Amber Rose set’s the record straight on how Kim Kardashian “wrecked” her relationship with Kanye. Amber say’s she attempted to contact Kimmy Kakes about messing with her man but never got a response. 

THEY SAY: WIZ KHALIFA “ALLEGEDLY” STOLE “BLACK N YELLOW” FROM A RAP SONG CALLED “PINK N YELLOW”

Wiz Khalifa is telling friends there’s a ZERO percent chance he ripped his smash hit “Black and Yellow” from a lesser known song called “Pink N Yellow” … ’cause he’s never EVER listened to the track … this according to sources close to Wiz.

Wiz is adamant he would never jack lyrics from another artist … despite the allegations in a new $2.3 million lawsuit filed by a Pennsylvania rapper named Maxamillion. Max claims he copyrighted “Pink N Yellow” in 2008 … three years before Wiz released “Black and Yellow.”

But one source close to Wiz tells TMZ … “Wiz has never heard of this guy … it’s just a plot that happens all the the time to rappers to get money. This is just some no-name rapper who wants to get paid.” TMZ also spoke with Max’s attorney … who tells us Wiz SHOULD know who Max is … because the two sides had spoken about a potential settlement recently. We’re told Wiz’s people were not open to a deal

                                              Black N Yellow Vs. Pink N Yellow  

Sounds like someone is a little bitter that their song didn’t blow up the same way Wiz’s did……..they don’t sound anything alike…but we shall see where this goes…..

Cheating Celebrity :(

Kris Humphrey Wants Kim Kardashian To Apologise & Admit Marriage Fraud.

A friend of Humphries told us, “Kim’s camp is depicting him as money-hungry, but in fact he turned down a $7 million settlement. Her camp is putting out stories about ‘Kim’s divorce hell’ hoping he’ll cave in, but he won’t.

“Kris wants Kim to admit to fraud, to admit the whole thing was staged for publicity, to make a public apology to him because he really wanted a marriage,” our insider said.

Humphries and his camp are furious at what they claim is a campaign by Team Kim to attack him in the press. One friend added, “They are trying to spin Kim as the victim, but Kris isn’t going to stand for it.”

The divorce has been stalled because Humphries took the unusual step of filing for an annulment based on fraud. He is also demanding Kim reveal how much she earned during their 72-day marriage, claiming she hasn’t given an honest account of the money made from their wedding. According to reports, Kris has complied with turning over his bank records and credit-card statements, but Kim so far has not.

I Want more than 1 Soul mate...... Huh???? :(

On whether she’ll whore her next marriage on her reality show: “I don’t think I would stop [doing the reality show], I love doing it, but I wouldn’t have another relationship shown on the show. That might be too personal, especially when you’re just meeting someone. I’m just going to work on me for a bit. …I’m putting the past behind me and have never felt more confident about my future.”

On feeling sexiest in high heels: “I feel my sexiest when I’m all dressed up at a photo shoot with full hair and make-up. I definitely need high heels to feel sexy, but that’s because of my height, I’m short, and I just look better. When I’m on a shoot, even if you can’t see the heels, I put them on because they make me feel sexy.”

On being shy of mirrors: “I hide from the mirror. It’s the inner confidence that makes you feel sexy, especially when doing a lingerie shoot. It’s always uncomfortable because there are a million people around doing the lighting and stuff, so it’s not the intimate thing you think it is when you see the photo. You just have to give your best. It’s a whole production but no one even pays attention.”
