Tyra Banks: ‘I wish I was harder!’

AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL

Tyra Banks has admitted that she wishes she a harder person, as often people mistake her kindness as weakness.

Speaking to ABC’s Nightline in advance of the new series of ANTM, Tyra said:

“I wish I was more of a diva. I wish I was harder. I wish I didn’t care so much about being the nice girl all the time,” she said.

“Because a lot of the time people can take kindness for weakness… so I wish I had a little bit more ‘oomph’ in me.”

America’s Next Top Model Auditonees Suffering From Short Woman’s Syndrome?

AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL

Chaos has erupted at American Next Top Model auditions in a New York Hotel.

Thousands of people were queuing to try out for the hit reality TV show when panic broke out and people were forced to abandoned clothes and belongings to escape the scrum.

The scenes resulted in six people injured and three arrests. Police went on to cancel the auditions and sent everyone home, they could not confirm what the cause of the panic was.

For the 13th series of the show producers are looking for models below average height and a maximum height of 5′ 7″ set for auditionees. I wonder if these scenes are proof that woman as well as men suffer from the aggressive ‘Short Man’s Syndrome’ that we hear so much about?

America’s Next Top Model: Series Finale!

America’s Next Top Model

With more high heels and hissy fits than ever before, the ninth series of one of LIVING’s best loved reality shows, America’s Next Top Model, draws to a close this week. 13 gorgeous girls have battled it out for the Next Top Model crown and the prizes of a modelling contract, a $100,000 deal with Covergirl cosmetics and a spread in a magazine that come with it.

Having whittled down the hopefuls to the final three, its now time for the judges – supermodel Tyra Banks, 60s star Twiggy, fashion photographer Nigel Barker and runway coach J Alexander – to pick the winner.

After last week’s shock elimination of Bianca, this week’s series finale sees the final three – Chantal, Jenah and Saleisha – shoot a commercial for Covergirl lipgloss in China. Although each of the girls manage to secure a good take in the end, Jenah’s attitude lands her in hot water with photoshoot manager Jay Manuel, and Saleisha becomes so frustrated when she fluffs her lines that she has to take five minutes to cry! Next it’s time for the first elimination of the episode, but just to make it that bit tougher Tyra asks each of the girls to evaluate their competition before announcing who is going home.

America’s Next Top Model: Tyra Banks The Photographer!

America’s Next Top Model

With high heel and hissy fits aplenty, the ninth series of the smash hit reality show America’s Next Top Model continues exclusively on LIVING this week. Hosted by supermodel Tyra Banks, the show follows 13 girls who are competing to win a top modelling contract.

The final four girls are still in China this week, where they are each given a traditional costume and told to update it
for a challenge. Deciding to do all she can to ensure a spot in the final, Bianca tries to throw Jenah off her game during the contest. Will her cunning plan work?

This week’s photoshoot takes place at the Great Wall of China, where the girls must pretend to be fighting to make it over the wall. With each wannabe desperate for a spot in the final, nerves are running high – especially when the week’s extra-special photographer is revealed. It’s Tyra! Read more & comment »

Heather Leaves America’s Next Top Model

Heather: Americas Next Top Model

Last night we saw Heather’s departure from America’s Next Top Model. No one could really have been surprised, as the girls had to find their way around Shaghai for ‘go sees’ with various designers, Heather spent the majority of the day wandering, lost, around the city. When she finally got back to base she was forty minutes late and automatically disqualified from the challenge.

At the end of the epsiode when Tyra Banks revealed the bottom two girls, Heather found herself paired with Jenah, and though Tyra admitted that the pair often took the best pictures out of the whole group, both of them had personality problems which may stop them succeeding in the business. Jenah survived, but will have to watch her caustic tongue and sarcastic wit in future, Heather was not so lucky!

Next week we will see the girls in Shanghai, where Tyra will be directing their photo shoot on the great wall of china. I only hope that Bianca doesn’t last too much longer, her cocky attitude is beginning to grate on my nerves!
