Naima Mora, the winner of Cycle 4 of America’s Next Top Model and her band, the Chewing Pics, are nominated for Deli Magazine’s “Best Emerging Bands of 2008″ poll.

You can check out the Chewing Pics for yourself on their MySpace. Naima is the lead singer of the quartet and they tend to play an eclectic form of rock. Here’s a video of them …read more

I’ve seen this rumor around the Twitterverse a few times and now New York Magazine has picked it up.
Apparently America’s Next Top Model Cycle 4 winner Naime Mora is working at Brooklyn’s Cocoa Bar, a cafe and sweets shop.

UPN has announced that this season’s finale will air on Wednesday, December 7th at 8pm EST. The good news is that the ANTM fun doesn’t stop there.
