In honor of the America’s Next Top Model Cycle 12 finale this Wednesday, BellaSugar has put together a slideshow of what lots of Top Model alums are up to now.

They do look at the careers of a lot of earlier eliminees, which is nice, but there’s nothing surprising in the pack if you’re a close follower of ANTMers. However, if you’re just a casual fan, it’s a worthwhile read to see how many girls are actually working and what they are doing.

I think it’s safe to say that this cycle of America’s Next Top Model has been pretty underwhelming. Sure, there’s been a few moments of promise (can we say Celia and Tahlia showdown?) but overall, the girls have been meh, their photos have been meh and the drama has been meh. Hopefully now that Sandra’s gone, the drama will be amped up a notch or two.
Thankfully, a couple websites have taken it upon themselves to offer advice to the contestants on the show and to the show itself.

On Saturday, at the New York casting call for Cycle 13 of America’s Next Top Model, chaos erupted in the crowd. Thousands of girls had come out to audition for the first petite cycle of ANTM, and the disorganized auditions, long line, and confusion resulted in a stampede. People were trampled, clothing was lost and six people were injured and three others being arrests for disorderly conduct. You can read more about the events of that day at this post. There are several first-hand accounts in the comments.
No one knows for certain what caused the stampede. Tyra Banks and ANTM’s …read more

The New York casting calls for Cycle 13 of America’s Next Top Model were cancelled today, as chaos broke out. Three people were arrested and six others were hurt as the line for auditions broke down outside the Park Central New York Hotel.
Thousands of ANTM hopefuls had come out that day, with many girls camping overnight in hopes of trying out early. Shirley was one of the many people who were there early and she was kind enough to send me a photo of the long, dense line.

In honor of tonight’s makeover episode, Entertainment Weekly has put together what they think are the 15 worst makeovers in America’s Next Top Model history.
Those who make the list include Cassandra (Cycle 5) for her Mia Farrow cut, Michelle (Cycle 4) for her terrible blonde dye job, Michelle and Amanda’s (Cycle 7) unremarkable transformations, Brittany (Cycle for that horrendous red weave, Jaeda’s (Cycle 7) crop, Jade (Cycle 6) for her short blonde ‘do, Sara’s (Cycle 6) blonde faux hawk, Amanda’s (Cycle 3) platinum blonde look, Megg’s (Cycle 7) overpowering weave, Jenah’s (Cycle 9) bleach blonde …read more

CWTV has greenlit production for the thirteenth cycle of America’s Next Top Model, according to Contact Music. I’m not surprised, the show is a ratings winner.
Interestingly, the CW is slashing Tyra’s budget for her talk show and cutting production down from 34 weeks to 26. They are claiming this is to counteract the economic recession, but I think part of it is because the CW is unsure how The Tyra Banks Show is going to do on their network.

Their schedule says cycle 10, but I’m pretty sure that’s a mistake.
I’m going to tune in! I like to leave the television on and pop in and out all day as I’m doing other things. Not the most energy-saving practice, I know. But I’m super-excited for the …read more
