Lisa D'Amato is ready to strike a new pose: that of blushing bride. The 29-year-old America's Next Top Model winner married fiancé Adam Friedman, 37, Sunday in Los Angeles, her rep confirms to E! News. Per Us Weekly, the duo got hitched at the Hollywood Castle in the Hollywood Hills. The wedding itself resembled an Antm reunion of sorts: Several of her fellow catwalking pals from the show were there, including Bre Scullark and Alexandria Everett. Other notable guests included Dr. Drew Pinsky, whom she met during her stint on Celebrity Rehab, as well as...Heidi Fleiss?! "Today was wickedly magical!" D'Amato told the mag following her nuptials. "I'm overjoyed...

America's Next Top Model: All-Stars 17.11 "Highlights" Review
Hey, you know what this hideous season of Top Model needs?
Why, an episode that recaps every absurd, maddening minute of the hours of our life that we've sunk into this show, of course! Yes, "Highlights" was Top Model's typical late cycle look back at the good times, the bad times, and the times that made me want to throw my TV out the window. I don't typically watch clip shows, as there's very rarely any interesting information that gets presented, but because I love/appreciate everybody who reads and comments on my weekly reviews, I figured "why the heck not?". You're all top models in my eyes, my little pot ledoms.
And...there wasn't anything that stimulating that came from the new footage. At all. I mean, if you're into arguments about time on the phone or finding out that Alexandria has 13 besties (!), then hey,...

Alexandria Everett is the latest contestant sent home from "America's Next Top Model" All Star edition. She tells Zap2it what she's been working on since she did back-to-back cycles and that she was was a little upset Cycle 17 was basically just like the one she'd just been on.
Are you glad you went back for another cycle of "Top Model"?
"Yeah, you know, I would definitely regret if I said I wasn't. I did it for my fans and I did it for myself, so I'm really happy with that decision. I feel like you can always learn from every decision that you make. I learned a lot, just like Cycle 16. I will use everything I learned to my advantage now in the real world."
Were you surprised to get the call for All Stars? You couldn't have been off of Cycle 16 for very long when it came.
"Right...

On "America's Next Top Model," I thought the music video challenge was going to be a trainwreck, but it turns out I was wrong.
The Challenge
Some Madison girl is on the Tyra Mail screen giving make-up tips. I'm sorry, but I work on the internet and I have no idea who this is. Hmm. It turns out the challenge is writing a song and starring in a music video. Um, yikes. This so unfair for the girls who aren't musically inclined. And it's not something a non-musically-inclined person would even care about doing. *headsmack*
Angelea comments, "We're going to be shooting a music video and it will be viral." You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. Jay then says, "This can totally change your life. Think how going viral worked for Rebecca Black and Justin Bieber." Um, first of all...

Well we made it everybody! We're finally in the home stretch of this cycle and it couldn't have come soon enough. As we start tonight's show Lisa is upset about Bre leaving but also adds that Bianca doesn't have a bodyguard anymore.
Alexandria, looking the least fierce I've ever seen her, reminds us that the judges knocked her picture for looking like "a reality TV star" and I'm reminded what a joke that is considering the fact that they are on a reality TV show. They — Tyra included — need to get over themselves and probably shouldn't use that as a way to cut the contestants down, particularly considering who their guest judges have been so far.
Shannon says she thinks the judges want more raunch from her. I think she just needs to stop being boring.
Bianca is pissed that the house is full of cliques because now she doesn't...

It's a double elimination on "America's Next Top Model" week, where they have what is maybe the most ridiculous photoshoot of all time (and that is saying something).
The Challenge
The girls are at the Roosevelt Hotel to design their own fragrance. Ooh, that's awesome. I would really get into that challenge. Lisa names her scent "Neon," Laura goes with "Love," Dominique goes with "Survivor," Shannon names hers "Smitten," Angelea names hers "Angelea" (of coruse she does, Angelea rules), Allison names hers "Honey Blood," Kayla's is "Free" (again, snoooooze), Bianca's is "Candid" and Alexandria's is "Diamondatrix." Huh.
I wish these were for sale because I really want to smell them all. I feel like I would like Allison's just because I love her and I'm kind of a big weirdo like her. But who knows? I want to smell them!
For the challenge, they are selling...

Coco Rocha is on hand for a "b**** fight" photoshoot. That should be such a stretch for some of the "America's Next Top Model" girls.
After Panel
Bianca continues to be confrontational and think everybody hates her because she's a threat. Must be Wednesday.
The Challenge
Flag football. Awesome. Brittny Gastineau and Julie Henderson are there. Brittny is a socialite and Julie is a "fiercely real" supermodel. The teams are filled out by the eliminated girls, then some NFL players - Julian Edelman from the Patriots, Jahvid Best from the Lions, Kareem Jackson from the Texas and Dante Hughes from the Chargers. Angelea is beside herself. You and me both, girl.
The stupid Tyra twist is when a flag is thrown, you have to immediately strike a pose for the photographer. You win a spread on Tyra's website and some jewelry. The winning team splits $5000 between the two charities represented...

Another Wednesday night is here and my booty is firmly tooched on the couch for America's Next Top Model. The three of us (I'm assuming there's still three of us) have made it all the way to the Kardashian guest star appearance. Yay for us.
When we last were with the girls, Angelea won the challenge and now she is feeling supa dupa fly and in her solo interview she says the other girls better be scared because they underestimated her. She's ready to take over now.
Bre thought she'd be doing better since she's been working as a model professionally for the last six years but she's not doing as well as she'd like.
Lisa says we better hold on tight because she's about to unleash the crazy beast from inside. I can't wait because I am bored as hell.
Kayla and Bianca talk about how they didn't think...

What do you get when you cross Latoya Jackson, the Kardashian sisters, and drag impersonations of an icon no longer with us?
Give up?
Me, too and apparently so has Top Model, as "Latoya Jackson" proved once and for all that the show has pretty much bailed on all sense of fashion legitimacy this go around. I don't know why I keep expecting America's Next Top Model: All-Stars to turn things around and become a beacon of couture realness, but once again, the reality in this reality competition series took over and we were subjected to an episode even loopier and tackier than usual.
It's not that the show was poor in idea. I don't mind the Kardashians stopping by, as they're at least involved in the fashion industry and they've been famous for long enough to where they could impart some decent knowledge how to handle yourself in the public eye.

We start things off Wednesday (Oct. 12) on "America's Next Top Model" with Bre and Lisa talking about how they need to step it up and how they're in danger, which leads me to predict they are the Bottom 2 tonight. Meanwhile, Bianca is all mopey and Dominique rightly points out you can never be above an opportunity, which is true.
A lot of the evicted models have been telling us in interviews that they were pitched something totally different for all-stars than what it turned out to be. But it's still face time on TV and a chance for something.
Now there is phone drama about calling their families. Shannon has a good idea about drawing spots for time and Bianca gets last. She has a problem with it, but she's not confrontational about it, but Shannon the "quiet Christian" kind of loses it. I don't love Bianca, but I'm with her on this one.

Welcome back ladies and gents! If you've made it this far along the All Stars cycle of America's Next Top Model, you are a true warrior!
The episode begins with the girls coming back to the house and Angelea says she's going to work on showing herself more.
Lisa brings out the bottles of wine and reminds us she did a stint on Celebrity Rehab. I totally missed that season, but I'm thinking the networks are going to have to start redefining their takes on "Celebrity" "Stars" and "All Stars." Even though Lisa brought the booze out, she says she's not going to drink. She's going to keep her head focused.
The girls get some snail mail and while the younger contestants seem to be getting a lot of clothes and fun things from home, Camille gets a big box of work. She said she's been doing well but work...

As much as I've criticized America's Next Top Model: All-Stars this season for being a little more wackadoo than usual, I have to admit that "Anthony Zuiker" managed to keep the sense of fun that that best episodes of Top Model have while bringing some of the legitimacy that had been missing thus far in cycle 17.
I love a crazy photo shoot or funny challenge as much as the next guy, but this cycle had seemed to put on its absurd weave and forget about its high fashion sunglasses, in that the first three episodes were heavy on the silly and stupid and very light on anything resembling proper training for these girls. However, "Anthony Zuiker" brought both with a little bit of old school medical drama and I actually enjoyed it quite a bit.

I'm not going to play, last night's episode of America's Next Top Model made me want this All Star cycle to be over with quickness. Not only am I over trying to suspend my disbelief that most of these girls were the chosen as "All Stars," but as of yesterday we found out Kelly Cutrone will be replacing Andre Leon Talley as a judge next season. Alright, I won't postpone this any longer, let's dive in.
As with the last two episodes, the girls are in the limo cab on their way back to the model house and are discussing the night's elimination results. Lisa says she was surprised she won. I don't know what kind of Toddlers and Tiaras thing she's got going on with her hair in these interview clips, but it needs to go.

America's Next Top Model: All Stars kicks off its third week with Kristin Cavallari making an unannounced arrival at the house for a quick chat with the girls about staying true to themselves, before everyone is off to meet Nigel Barker at The Grove where a Big elimination twist is waiting. After the girls split into two teams - Team 1: Lisa, Laura, Alexandria, Isis, Dominique and Angelea / Team 2: Bianca, Allison, Bre, Camille, Shannon and Kayla - Nigel says that they will be interviewed by Extra host Mario Lopez and the team that does the best will be exempt from elimination at panel. Wow. Team two are the winners which means Lisa, Laura, Alexandria, Dominique, Isis and Angelea are facing elimination. Allison is named the overall winner and her prize is having a proper interview with Extra. Angelea's not feeling too good about Nigel's comments (more)...

New cycle, new Tyra-ism. In "Kristin Cavallari," we learned the importance of the booty tooch and that Bianca is scared of Chihuahuas.
Compared to some of the other cycles, the models are relatively subdued thus far in their quarters. Yes, Angelea did have a pretty major meltdown after being critiqued by Nigel, but there was little to no sniping.Come on, Antm! I’ve come to expect more from the show that entertained me with stolen granolas (Bre), chicken lessons (Alexandria) and ummm, Uncle It (Lisa).
Allison was undoubtedly the star of the show, somehow managing to look utterly adorable with her animal hood, while charming Mario Lopez and Nigel during her Extra interview.
The photoshoot du jour involved balancing on some of the most elegant stilts ever. Bianca broke down yet again about her fear of heights, to which Lisa retorted that she was scared of everything. Camille made...

In addition to smizing and whatever other weird stuff Tyra Banks has made up over the years, "America's Next Top Model" has now given us "booty tooch."
Post-Panel
Allison is wearing an animal hood around the house and talking about how weird she is. Huh. The next morning, Kristin Cavallari shows up. Yet another random guest judge who will not offer anything constructive.
The Challenge
At The Grove in Los Angeles, the girls are going to be interviewed in groups by Mario Lopez (currently of that awful, awful show "H8R") or Alfred Clifford Slater, as he will always be known to me. Lisa and Bianca get to pick the teams, so it ends up Lisa, Laura, Lex, Isis, Dominique, Angelea and then Bianca, Allison, Bre, Camille, Shannon and Kayla. And then Nigel drops a bomb - the winning team is safe at judging. Wow. That is a lot of girls.

I have some serious mixed emotions about the concept of a group challenge on a reality show like America's Next Top Model. While it works well in stirring up drama and giving a reading on how well you can work with other people, it's hard to fully accept as a true means of eliminating someone. The "random" pairings have a bit too much control in either building up a contest or bringing them all the way down, so it can scream producer interference and predetermination more than anything.
Let me just get this out. I think Isis was robbed in "Kristin Cavallari", the third episode of America's Next Top Model: All-Stars. The entire set up of the episode was to blame, though, due to the weird rule that half the cast would be safe from elimination following the interview challenge with Mario Lopez. I can understand wanting to give the challenges more weight,...

Um, I am still recovering from last night's episode of America's Next Top Model. It took me three — yes, three — hours to watch the show last night because there were too many amazingly awkward screen-shots to take. This morning, I had 94 pictures from last night's show on my iPhone — 94 pictures of awkwardness mostly of a bizarre sexual nature. Go to the bathroom, grab a drink and maybe a snack and settle in for this recap.
We start in the van talking about the awesome prizes up for grabs this season. Virginal Shannon seems to be the most psyched and even comes across as a little scary if Lisa's face is any indication.
Angelea says she doesn't care that Brittany was sent home. Alexandria laments over the fact that so many people don't like her and want her to go home but says she knows that a lot of people...

Last season on America's Next Top Model: Regular Folks, you started to see signs that maybe they were taking this fashion thing seriously after all. Sure, there was the requisite Top Model goofiness attached to the season because, well, this is Top Model, but the show took steps to gain a bit of legitimacy. You had the bee beauty shoot, actual couture fashion being showcased, and a fairly decent group of models, so when it was announced that cycle 17 was going to be an all-star extravaganza, I had to get a little excited.
I mean, surely America's Next Top Model: All-Stars would cut down on the silly photo shoots to really give these girls the boost they need to enter the next stage in their career?
Y'all, "Ashlee Simpson" (the episode) was a hot mess. Not a campy, crazy, ooh-girl-that-was-so-fun type of hot mess; no, this was a...

Poor Brittany was the first casualty of the "America's Next Top Model" all-star season. On the way home from judging, the girls go bonkers over the prizes for the winner of the season. There's a quick montage of all the girls saying they deserve to win. I just wish one had been like, "Naw, I should get like fourth place."
Branding (unfortunately, not with cattle prods)
At the Model Manse, Alexandria says she's "a misunderstood star." Snerk. Whatever you need to tell yourself to sleep at night. Um, what is with the talking-head interviews where everyone has on Chemo Patient Chic? Weird.
Anyway. Tyra shows up with Martin Lindstrom, a "brand strategist genius" (Tyra's words). He is there to school them about their individual brands, which he says should boil down to one word that he assigns them. Lisa gets daring, Sheena gets unexpected and then Martin tells Kayla her...

Anyway. Tyra shows up with Martin Lindstrom, a "brand strategist genius" (Tyra's words). He is there to school them about their individual brands, which he says should boil down to one word that he assigns them. Lisa gets daring, Sheena gets unexpected and then Martin tells Kayla her...

I can't believe it's already time for another season of America's Next Top Model. Last night's premiere picked up right where I remember it leaving off - which is to say, ridiculously.
Our fearless leader, Tyra Banks, tosses and turns in her bed as visions of RuPaul — no, wait — visions of herself emulating past contestants dance around her head.
She wakes to tell us it's not a nightmare; it's a reality. She went back through all the old cycles and brought back our favorites for a season of Antm All-Stars (or mostly the people who caused some kind of controversy)!
This season is gonna get cray because not only are the All-Stars coming, but a whole slew of B-d list celebrities will be giving the girls pointers, possibly trying to hit on them and definitely trying to pimp out their new clothing line (Kardashians, I am looking at you).

Is it possible for a show to be rushed and have absolutely nothing happen at the same time?
If so, then I think tonight's season premiere of America's Next Top Model may be a prime example, as the episode went by extremely fast and at the end, I was left feeling like not much had transpired. Of course, it's always lovely to have this traveling circus of crazy back on my TV for a few months each year, but "Nicki Minaj" felt like a two-hour premiere dressed up as a one-hour episode. Let me explain.
For starters, the fact that Brittany was sent home for rather arbitrary reasons is a little bit bogus, especially when the "challenge" wasn't even acknowledged as a challenge until after it was completed. Had the show been longer, there could have been an official challenge to go along with the surprise panel challenge to give...

We're here, "America's Next Top Model" fans. The newest cycle and probably the one we've most been looking forward to - all-stars. After a terrifying open where Tyra is apparently being haunted by the past contestants, we meet our girls:
Shannon Stewart (Cycle 1), Camille McDonald (Cycle 2), Brittany Brower (Cycle 4), Lisa D'Amato (Cycle 5), Bre Scullark (Cycle 5), Bianca Golden (Cycle 9), Dominique Reighard (Cycle 10), Isis King (Cycle 11), Sheena Sakai (Cycle 11), Allison Harvard (Cycle 12), Laura Kirkpatrick (Cycle 13), Angelea Preston (Cycle 14), Kayla Ferrel (Cycle 15) and Alexandria Everett (Cycle 16).
Here is our photo gallery if you want to check out the all-star ladies.
I'll have to confess - Cycle 7 was the first one I watched, so the girls from prior to that one are new to me. I apologize if I don't know what they're all about right away. But let's get to it!

Angelea still rubs me the wrong way. She's...

To prepare ourselves for the crazy, perhaps catastrophic premiere of America's Next Top Model: All Stars, let's familiarize ourselves with the contestants. We know a lot about these ladies from their time on the show, but what have they accomplished since then? What mysterious mystical force convinced them to take another shot at the much-coveted and often laughed-at title? Was it Tyra?
Some of these questions will be answered throughout this week, when we take a look back at the lives of these All-Star contestants. We'll also highlight a few of their best moments on America's Next Top Model.
We may have just seen her last season, but Alexandria Everett is still hoping her second chance will be her ticket to first place. It's either that or she'll surf by for the win.

Well, Top Model fans, we're still a week and a half away from opening up the specially wrapped present crazy aunt Tyra left us, which is sure to feature more than enough hot mess antics, ridiculous delusions, and frustrating decisions. The present, you ask?
America's Next Top Model: All-Stars.
Ahead of the show's premiere on September 14th, I thought we could channel all the excitement and anticipation for the fireworks that are sure to come with a little early pontificating. Before us, we have 14 models of various capabilities and experience, but there can be only one to take the title and with it, the prizes, which include a spread in Italian Vogue and the chance to be a guest correspondent for Extra. Just which of these women do you think will come out on top?
At this stage in the game, I think I'll be putting my money on.

When Tyra Banks announced that Cycle (Season) 17 of "America's Next Top Model" would be an "All-Star" edition featuring past contestants, we were concerned that the show would be more about catfights and less about the catwalk. The show's name is "America's Next Top Model," not "America's Second Chance Top Model." How would these also-rans (many of whom are in their late 20s or even 30s) succeed in an industry that embraces youth and is always looking for the next new face? The cast shots were recently released, and fall back upon the stereotypes the girls portrayed in their prior seasons. Click on the "Launch Gallery" button below to see the photos: Conservative Shannon is portrayed as an angel, while icy Camille dons a sparkly bodysuit. Party girl Lisa is doing the splits, masculine Dominique sports a tie, bombshell Sheena poses provocatively, country bumpkin Laura holds a fishing pole, and wide-eyed...

Take two! For its 17th cycle, America's Next Top Model is giving 14 fan favorites from previous seasons a second chance at the title - including Isis King from season 11, the show's only transgender contestant. Other familiar faces will include Bianca Golden from cycle 9, Angelea Preston from cycle 14, and Alexandria Everett from cycle 16 - surely making for a combustible season of drama.

"America's Next Top Model" is back this fall for Cycle 17 - and this time, it's featuring All-Stars. We can hardly contain our excitement. The girls returning include: Bianca Golden, Isis King, Angelea Preston and Alexandria Everett, which should lead to some wonderfully catty sparks flying in the house.
In the above preview, Tyra says all the fan-favorites are back, plus there is quite a lineup of guest judges, including Kathy Griffin and the Kardashian girls. "Antm" premieres Wednesday, Sept. 14 at 9 p.m. Et/Pt on the CW.
Which girls are your favorites? We'd have to say Kayla is probably our favorite returning All-Star.

When I spoke to her a couple weeks ago, Antm cycle 16 contestant Alexandria called Brittani Kline a "fashion cyclone." The description proved more accurate than Alexandria knew, as Wednesday, we watched the 19-year-old cyclone from Beech Creek, Pennsylvania barrel through the last of her competition to become America's Next Top Model, earning the ultimate praise from Tyra Banks and a $100,000 contract with Covergirl, among many more illustrious prizes.
Plus, added bonus: Yesterday was her birthday!
Today I got the chance to chat with Brittani about what it's like to have the title "America's Next Top Model" on her resume, where she stands with Alexandria today, her dream modeling job and more. Here's our cycle 16 winner:...

It wasn't an easy win for newly crowned "America's Next Top Model" winner, Brittani Kline.
Not only did the show slam the finalists with back-to-back challenges in the final episode, but the 19-year-old from Beech Creek, Pa. took a nasty spill on the finale runway.
"If you look back on the cycle, bad things just kept on happening," Brittani tells Zap2it. " But every time, I'd turn it around and come back from it. I think that's definitely why I won... You just need to do what you need to do and in the end it will work out."
She certainly did work it out and after the judges examined Brittani's body of work over the season, she edged out co-finalist Molly O'Connell for the win.
Before the finale, there was at least one other big setback for Brittani. She was involved in one of the most dramatic scenes...

Ah, yet another cycle of America's Next Top Model comes to a close.
The season finale saw Brittani and Molly competing for the top position. Molly seemed to have the edge going into the episode after a winning streak of three first call-outs. Meanwhile, Brittani was quite nervous and teary during the majority of the episode, despite nailing her CoverGirl commercial through her fears. So, who won the title of America's Next Top Model? Read on to find out!
CoverGirl:
Before their CoverGirl commercial and print ad, Brittani and Molly meet with Ivan Bart, the head of Img. Both girls impress the boss with their looks and portfolio, but he seems to prefer Brittani's attitude to Molly's angry yet professional vibe.
The CoverGirl product du jour is "Lip Perfection Lip Color." The girls will have a teleprompter - which doesn't necessarily result in better commercials in the Antm...

"America's Next Top Model" didn't give the two finalists a moment to breathe on Wednesday's (May 18) Cycle 16 finale.
Brittani and Molly met with Img's vice president Ivan Bart, did a Cover Girl shoot and commercial, a Vogue Italia and Beauty in Vogue shoot, a runway for Vivienne Westwood's Anglomania line, and then a surprise makeover leaving them both with sassy, short haircuts. We're tired just writing all that!
And after all was said and done, the judges evaluated the girls' entire body of work over the cycle and chose Brittani for the win!
Unfortunately dubbed "the girl from the trailer park," the 19-year-old from Beech Creek, Pa. was able to get past some big emotional barriers including freaking out on her annoying cast mate Alexandria on a shoot and frequent tearful bouts with self-confidence. Despite it all, she knew that there was no other option for her than winning the competition.

It was a surprise to us when the list of models returning for the "America's Next Top Model: All Stars" cycle was released and we saw recently eliminated Alexandria on the list. We already know it pays to bring the drama, but fellow eliminated contestant, Hannah, says she thinks her cast mate is going to give those other models a run for their money.
"I think she'll do really well," Hannah tells Zap2it. "She's already gotten the Landmarks campaign and the 'Warriors in Pink' national service announcement and stuff like that. She's already pretty well established as a controversial roommate and a pretty decent model. So, I would be scared."
Hannah tells us she's actually really good friends with Alexandria, but she's not blind to her ability to create some drama. "She loves to entertain, and she's also a little bit of - how do I say this - a feather ruffler,...

When "America's Next Top Model" announced that the next cycle would be an "All-Stars" round, we couldn't be more pleased. In fact, we wondered what took so long?
The show taped a fashion show in Los Angeles on Wednesday (May 11) with all the judges and, hello, the models who are returning to battle it out for what they believed was theirs in the first place.
We're most surprised that delusional, but hilarious Jade Rodan from Cycle 6 wasn't included. And we're sad to see that they've invited "Why the long face?" Alexandria Everett from the current Cycle as she was extremely annoying and we haven't been able to enjoy her elimination long enough.
Who are we excited to see again? We thought Cycle 11's transgender contestant Isis King could stand another chance. And we're happy we'll be able to see if farm girl Laura Kirkpatrick has become worldlier since Cycle 13. And finally,...

There are so many reasons to thank you, Ty-Ty. You’ve provided us with reality ridiculata for 16 straight cycles. You call them cycles. And you created an “all-star” cycle inviting back previous “models” who will once again fight to “win” the title of America’s Next Top “Model.” I simply cannot wait to watch these “human beings”! But I have another reason to thank you: According to the all-stars line-up circulating the Web, you actually recruited some of my suggested alums! (Though The CW is not making any announcements yet.)

" Survivor " has done it. So has " Top Chef ." Now, " America's Next Top Model " is getting its own all-star edition. "America's Next Top Model All-Stars" was announced Thursday by creator/head judge Tyra Banks . The show, debuting this fall, features 14 memorable contestants from 16 past cycles, including the most current season. Check out the 14 contestants in the gallery below: With three "mean girls" Bianca (Cycle 9), Dominique (Cycle 10) and Alexandria (Cycle 16) all living under one roof, there will be catfights galore. They'll surely go head-to-head with the outspoken Bre (Cycle 5), Sheena (Cycle 11) and Angelea (Cycle 14). Meanwhile, expect conservative Shannon (Cycle 1) and Southern sweetheart Laura (Cycle 13) to play mediators. As of course, Lisa (Cycle 5) will bring the laughs. However, there were some obvious omissions, including fabulous plus-sized model Toccara (Cycle 3), Jade, the self-proclaimed "undiscovered supermodel" (Cycle 6), and Jael, the edgy girl with rocker flair (Cycle 8). With some of the contestants pushing 30, the winner likely...

I had a long list of questions laid out to ask Alexandria, the latest model eliminated from America's Next Top Model cycle 16. But after watching the confident, confrontational California girl on the show, where she struggled to be understood by her fellow models and was called too controlling by photographers, I probably should have known that Alexandria would take my first couple questions and run with them.
And I'm happy she did, because otherwise we may never have gotten to learn what Alexandria's definition of "bitch" is, why she found the Top Model house so stifling, and what qualities she hopes the winner of the cycle will possess. Say what you will about the self-described "lioness" (because she doesn't care either way!), but she knows how to make an impression, and a soundbite. And she took some gorgeous photos, too. Cycle 16 just wouldn't have been so exciting without her.

In "Daniella Issa Helayel," the girls take it upon themselves to enjoy Morocco at their fullest.
In light of the fact that it's one of the more exotic locales that America's Top Model's ever been to, it's fun to see the girls enjoying the outdoor markets and enjoying slightly unconventional foods. In Cycle 3, the models did not take so kindly to Japanese culture, but Cycle 16 contestants seem to be more enthusiastic.
The girls chow down on goat brains, eyeballs, and intestines even if they're shrieking in the process. Let's break down this Antm episode.
The girls have an impromptu tea with Miss Jay and Franca Sozzani, the imposing editor-in-chief of Vogue Italia. The girls try desperately to impress the lady but end up blabbing and generally falling a bit flat. Let's hope that their portfolios impressed her at least.

In light of the fact that it's one of the more exotic locales that America's Top Model's ever been to, it's fun to see the girls enjoying the outdoor markets and enjoying slightly unconventional foods. In Cycle 3, the models did not take so kindly to Japanese culture, but Cycle 16 contestants seem to be more enthusiastic.

Tonight on America's Next Top Model: The final four girls, Alexandria, Hannah, Brittani and Molly, continue their Moroccan adventure with Tyra with a tray-balancing walking challenge and a photo shoot in an outdoor market.
And speaking of crazy divas who are now in control of young, impressionable lives, did you guys see that Mariah Carey named one of her new twins Moroccan, after the theme of the room where Nick Cannon proposed? What. (Good thing he didn't propose in a casino or a Blockbuster or something.) And the other one is named Monroe, after Marilyn Monroe. Again, What. Ok, celebrities, it's time to chill out with the insane baby names. Like Mariah Carey's kids weren't going to grow up with enough reasons to seek therapy. Anyway, my point is: I really hope there's truth to the rumor that Tyra is trying to get pregnant, because I can only...

It's international destination time on America's Next Top Model and the remaining five girls are off to Morocco! Brittani is determined to "kick some ass", while Alexandria "feels positive" after her recent best picture finish. Molly, however, is still "p*ssed" at being in the bottom two, acknowledging that she has anger issues. The girls arrive in Marrakech and take a trip through the local market where they encounter the Jays, who reveal the girls will be treated to a traditional Moroccan lunch and fashion tour of the city. Over lunch, Brittani says that she's from a less fortunate family so Top Model is her only chance to succeed in the industry; Hannah doesn't want to fade into the background; and Kasia says that the other girls don't see her as competition because she is plus-size. They later meet Andre at a villa (more)...

Cycle 16 of America’s Next Top Model is already winding down to the finale. It seems like only yesterday that we started hating on Alexandria, who’s fast proving to be a finale contender for the title of America’s Next Top Model's 16th edition.
In "Franca Sozzani," the models shot in exotic Morocco with a camel! Let’s break it down.
The Challenge:
The girls first arrive at Marrakech, which looks like an amazing Arabian Nights-esqe backdrop, complete with snake charmers and pretty cute monkeys.
The girls are treated to delicious little treats and taken to a local Marrekech designer with Andre Leon Talley where they’re promptly asked to walk in haute couture outfits. The designs are earthy and reminiscent of the desert; perfect for Marrekech.
The first disaster in Morocco strikes as Kasia can’t find a dress to fit her.
Despite being disappointed, they find...

Leave it to Alexandria to mess up all the sympathy we had for her after Brittani wowed out on her. In Wednesday's (April 27) episode, "America's Next Top Model" goes to, wait for it... Morocco. "Sex and the City 2" and "The Real Housewives of New York City" went there, too. Who's Morocco's publicist?
In Marrakech, the models get a chance to take in the sites before one of them has a meltdown in the first challenge when the clothes don't fit her. And it's the same old story when Alexandria is called out on trying to direct during the photo shoot. Plus, Vogue Italia's Editor-in-Chief Franca Sozzani gets a stab at judging who will get closer to appearing in her magazine.
"America's Next Top Model" airs at a new time: Wednesdays at 9 p.m. Et on The CW.
Will Alexandria be the first to leave Morocco?...
