America's Next Top Model

Fashion designer Anand Jon was convicted of multiple charges of sexual assault on young would-be models Thursday.

America's Next Top Model icons and Tyra Banks flunkies, Mr. Jay (Manuel) and Miss J. (Alexander), are getting their own spin-off called Operation Fabulous.

The pilot, being shot for the CW, has the two J’s travelling the country and selecting five women to receive Top Model-style makeovers including tutorials on how to dress, how to style their hair and apply makeup and lessons in building confidence with the support of family and friends. Why do we totally want to be on it?

Top Model chiefs Tyra Banks and Ken Mok serve as executive producers.

We coined the term “Smokeshow” for America's Next Top Model judge (and "noted fashion photographer") Nigel Barker when he left us so agog by his splendiferous beauty that we couldn’t even just call him hot or even smoking hot; he puts on a show, Cirque de Soleil-style, of smoky hotness.

Nigel is The Original Smokeshow!!!

Nigel and his incomprehensibly lucky wife Christen Chin attended last night’s New York screening of Battle in Seattle at the Tribeca Grand Hotel Screening Room.

CariDee English, winner of America’s Next Top Model cycle seven, arrives at "The Red Thread: The Inspiration and Passion of Valentino Garavani" event held at the Grace Building in New York City.

Did she just get off the Tara Reid party bus?

That Hersey’s chocolate chiffon nightmare of a dress is doing her no favors but neither is her hair and makeup. She is unrecognizably busted.

We love CariDee for her vivaciousness and spunk but at the end of the day, she’s a model and they get paid to look good.

We want a refund.

America's Next Top Model is being praised by the president of the Gay + Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) group for including a transgender contestant in the new series.

After initially being denied bail for fear he was a flight risk, Nikki Blonsky’s father, Carl, a sewage plant worker, has been released from the Turks and Caicos prison where he’s been held since the rumble between the Blonsky Family and the Golden Family (it’s like Family Feud but with cranial injuries and without fun questions or a bitchin’ theme song) on July 29th.

The drama continues in the fallout of the brawl involving Hairspray star Nikki Blonsky, America’s Next Top Model reject Bianca Golden and their families.

Nikki’s father , a sewage plant worker, was denied bail in a hearing Thursday on felony charges of grievous bodily harm, charges that carry a sentence of up to five years.

Reports claim that civil lawsuits will be inevitable following the brawl Nikki Blonsky, 19, and her father were involved in with America's Top Model reject Bianca Golden and her mother. The fight was sparked when Blonsky tried to save five seats in the airport lounge at Turks & Caicos when Golden, also 19, wanted to sit down.

TMZ has obtained video taken after the brawl between Hairspray's Nikki Blonsky and ANTM's Bianca Golden. Click here to watch.
