Cycle 4 of Germany’s Next Topmodel ended a few weeks ago. It was a whirlwind season, with the contestants visiting Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Honolulu, New York and Singapore and meeting Good Charlotte, Victoria Beckham, Melanie Brown, Bar Refaeli and Karolina Kurkova. In the end, Sara Nuru, a nineteen year-old 5”9″ gorgeous girl was crowned the winner.

Sara, who is of Ethopian descent, was surprised and amazed by her win. She beat out 11,000 contestants to take home the top prize.

“I can’t believe it – so often during the show I thought I would not make it,” Sara said of her win.

“We saw a special sparkle in Sara’s eye. She has a super body, a great character and presence – and is also nice!” host Heidi Klum said of the winner.

Sara will now appear on the cover of German Cosmopolitan, receive a new car and was awarded contracts with C&A and Maybelline Jade as part of her prize.

Congratulations Sara!

Germany’s Next Top Model Films in Las Vegas

Germany’s Next Top Model is currently filming Cycle 4. It looks as though one of their international destinations is Las Vegas because Heidi Klum and the rest of the judges were in town yesterday, filming a fashion show at Fashion Show Mall. Rolf Scheider and Peyman Amin are the judges along with Heidi, who is also the host of the US show Project Runway.

GNTM’s format is quite different from other Top Model formats, as there are many more contestants and several international destinations. In Cycle 3, the girls went to Barcelona, Salzburg, New York, Paris, Tel Aviv, Sydney and Melbourne and Los Angeles.

Sixteen-year-old blonde beauty Jennifer Hof was the winner of the previous cycle.

Cycle 4 of GNTM will premiere on February 12 with 20 contestants.

Germany’s Next Top Model Sex Tape Scandal

The internet has been lighting up with this story about Germany’s Next Top Model contestant Gina Lisa and her recent homemade sex tape, which has been leaked online.

The video was released by German paper Bild and features 23 minutes of “wild erotic games and unbridled sex.” The paper is claiming that Gina Lisa gave them permission to leak the video.

Gina, 21, appeared in the third cycle of GNTM. She was eliminated in the sixth episode

“Gina agreed to have the film uploaded to earn money,” her boyfriend, who also stars in the video, said. “We filmed ourselves on purpose.”

Ever since it was released, Bild’s website has been crashing regularly.

I guess she was assuming that sex tapes=fame. Let’s look at a moment at who has famous sex tapes: Paris Hilton. Pamela Anderson. Kim Kardashian. The tape has resulted in an offer for Gina to star in a porn film. If this is the kind of fame she wants, that’s great. But it always frustrates me when people use the Top Model franchise to leverage their own fame and not their modeling career. It devalues the show.

However, if Gina leaked the tape to further her modeling career, that’s just dumb.

I know this isn’t the latest news, but I was wondering what you thought about it all, and if Gina made the right move or a very dumb one.

I think this 5′11″ beauty has what it takes to go far. Her look is fresh and hot–does anyone else think she’s a bit reminiscent of Agyness Den?–and she’s really young. I hope to see her around the fashion circuit! As the winner, she receives a contract with IMG modeling management.

Here’s a video of her portfolio throughout the show:

Here is a video of her winning. It’s in German and subtitle free, but you get the idea!

Can you imagine Heidi Klum hosting a Top Model show? I love her on Project Runway, but I bet on the Top model show she can let loose a bit more and really show her personality. I hope one day she does a guest appearance on ANTM. That would rock!

Good luck Jennifer!
