This week’s Top Model in Action was statuesque beauty Natalie Pack from Cycle 12. She currently lives in Los Angeles and is signed with Ford Models.
I liked Natalie’s look and am glad to see she’s getting work. However, I can’t help but wonder if it’s premature for her to be getting a TMIA segment. What do you think?

The Tyra Banks Show partnered with Aerostaple to give away 100,000 coats for charity this past week in Grand Rapids. The coat drive was organized through the non-profit One Warm Coat, an organization whose mission is to ensure all children have coats to keep them warm through the winter.

Several Top Model alumni came out to help give away the coats, including Toccara Jones, Lauren Utter and Aminat Ayinde. The girls took some time to sign autographs for a few star-struck kids receiving the coats! Tyra didn’t make an appearance, but it’s still a great cause for her to support!

Ann Markley, the athletic beauty from Cycle 3 of America’s Next Top Model, is in the newest Wheat Thins commercial.
In the commercial, Ann has a showdown with the Wheat Thins. Don’t worry, she wins! For some reason, this commercial reminds me of those old Doritos commercials starring Ali Landry.
