Leonardo DiCaprio's recent split with Blake Lively may have left him seeing double Down Under, where he's been linked to not one, but two models, according to local reports. While in Sydney filming The Great Gatsby for director Baz Luhrmann, DiCaprio, 36, has been a frequent guest at the Beach Haus nightclub, where he's been loving "meeting the Aussie girls," a club insider tells Australia's Who magazine. Photos: Stars' Shocking BreakupsSydney's Daily Telegraph reported earlier this month that the hunky star was "really into" Alyce Crawford, 21, a former contestant on the Australian version of America's Next Top Model, but a...

Yes, we said it: Alabama's Kendal Brown got shafted in the last photo challenge of "America's Next Top Model." While all the other girls had designers with distinct character traits, Kendal got stuck with nice, classy, but dare we say, boring Vera Wang.
Not only that, but in the earlier Grammy challenge, Mr. Jay Manuel accused her of sabotaging her teammate, Chris, with what he thought was a dress more appropriate for the streets than the Grammys. Um, Mr. Jay, you have met Chris, right?
We gave Kendal 6 chances to clear her name:
1.) You weren't quite on our radar to go, but it seemed you felt it coming. Why?At the photo shoot that I got eliminated from, I sort of knew. Mr. Jay was giving me a lot of bad feedback on a majority of my photo shoot. So, I thought I sort of knew I was going to go home,...

"America's Next Top Model"'s self-proclaimed country girl Kendal may have been born a model, but according to Tyra Banks she wasn't "modeling." And Jay Manuel called the 23-year-old from Alabama "flat and boring." Now "The Insider" talks to the ousted model hopeful about how she dealt with the harsh words and what is next. "The Insider": It seemed as if you had a feeling you might be going home because at one point you said you needed to step up your game. Were you worried about that? Kendal: I was. I would talk to the other girls and they were, "What did Miss J say to you?" They were like, "He said I did good." But every time I came on the set his critique would be horrible. I was, "I need to step up my game," because every time I came on a photo shoot he was harsh.

Kendal Brown has become the seventh girl to exit America's Next Top Model. The 23-year-old from Alabama was sent home on Wednesday night's episode of The CW competition after the panel thought she failed to spark in a photoshoot which saw the models dressing as iconic designers, with Tyra explaining that although she was a beautiful girl, the panel thought she needed more practice. The episode opened with the girls reflecting on the previous panel. Liz privately thought that although Ann had secured best photo for the fifth week in a row she might not have the personality necessary to succeed and thought she could do better. Kayla was also feeling motivated to do better this week after landing in the bottom two. The next morning the models headed to the Grammy Museum where they learned from Recording Academy president and CEO Neil Portnow that one of them would be...

After five straight wins, the super-skinny, super tall force that is Ann was dethroned in Wednesday's Oct. 21 "America's Next Top Model."
There was quite a shift in power in this episode. Not only did Ann get dethroned, but also Kendal was eliminated. While she seemed to know she was on the chopping block after last week's showing, we're still a little surprised they let her go. After all, she really wasn't on our radar until the last episode. Of course, we've seen models before that were doing fine and then had that one stumble that they never quite recovered from.
And was this not the perfect challenge for Liz? She finally got to flaunt what Tyra Banks calls her "skill for androgyny." We think she finally got a shoot that fit her tranny good looks. Either way, she took one look at that Fabio-esque picture of John Galliano and...

So far in Cycle 15 of America’s Next Top Model, the show has upped the ante by bringing A-list guests such as Karolina Kurkova and, this week, Patrick Demarchelier, the famous photographer.
As Tyra continues to emphasize, this cycle is all about the high fashion... which was why it was a bit confusing when the models were led to Wal-Mart for their challenge, with Kacey, Esther, and Kayla winning CoverGirl Wal-Mart cosmetics after pitching makeup to a whole lot of tween girls. Granted, Esther did get a $1,000 shopping spree, but after some of the prizes (like Kacey’s gorgeous jewelry from last week), this felt a bit lackluster.
For the actual challenge, the girls were split into groups of three and familiarized themselves with CoverGirl products. As Nigel Barker greets them at Wal-Mart, Antm turns into a miniature CoverGirl commercial.

Poor 24-year old Terra White may have earned herself the nickname, "Tear-a," for crying so much during her short stint on "America's Next Top Model." One of the girls we thought would be very strong, Terra surprised us when it seemed as if she buckled under the pressure very easily and especially while her younger sister, Chris, seemed to excel.
Then, of course, she got the "Ty-Over" from hell and then there was a surprise elimination -- which we think was a test to see if she could hang in this competition. Poor thing couldn't and she was eliminated.
1) It was so early and we thought you where one of the stronger girls going in, how surprised where you at how difficult the competition was?I really can't say how difficult it was, because I was only there two different photo shoots and a runway challenge. But from just those...

The 15th cycle of America’s Next Top Model is all about being on “top," more than ever before.
Having faced criticism because none of the models make a real impact in the fashion world after their 15 minutes of fame on Antm, this season promises “real” prizes such as a “real” cover on Italian Vogue and “real” top photographers to shoot the aspiring models, which makes me feel bad for the winners of the previous cycles who apparently got shafted.
The second episode begins with the girls on Venice Beach, where a vagabond-like singer directs them to their new digs for the season. It’s huge and gorgeous of course, adorned with pictures of Vogue Italia, the theme of the season. As usual, Antm is full of quirky personalities and strange revelations, as Ann reveals that “hobos are hot” and she’ll date someone “up to 60.” Oh, and he also...

In case the boss actually forced you to do some work this week and thus neglect your Soup blog obligations, let's uncap a beverage together and recap the warmth, laughter and magic of what you missed. 1. The Rachel Zoe Project: Watching fashion maven Zoe bitch out her tag-along husband Rodger is a sad thing. He's sweet, considerate and supportive; what's this guy missing? Oh yeah, he's not gay. One down, four to go! 2. America's Next Top Model: It takes a lot for a young lady to make it to the top of the American model racket. Lovely Kendal seems to have it all, apart from an aversion to baby batter. How that plays into it, only Tyra can answer. 3....

Sadly, the last few months have seen our nation embroiled in a wide array of crises. Topping the list has been the nearly imponderable question: Who will be America's Next Top Model? Thankfully, Tyra Banks is gracing us with Cycle 15, the grueling procedure that will ensure the U.S. has the perfect candidate in that crucial role. Which brings us to Alabama's own Kendal, 23, who has many positive attributes, especially purity. But how does the lanky fox do it? We know where you're coming from.
