Nigel Barker talked to OK! magazine this week, admitting her could completely relate to the balloon boy saga. He also talked about how he and Christen make their marriage work and what it’s like to be a family of four since Christen gave birth to daughter Jasmine.
Nigel argues that it’s ultimately about trust for any relationship:

Ultimately, if you don’t trust your partner, you can’t trust them to know what they’re doing. In my business, I’m always with beautiful women, I’m out traveling the world, and it’s a lot of time apart. If she didn’t trust me, she wouldn’t know that …read more

Nigel Barker, the noted fashion photographer and judge on America’s Next Top Model, sat down with the New Zealand Herald. They talked about what Tyra is really like, his impressions of New Zealand’s Next Top Model and more.
He alludes to Paulina’s firing, but nothing explicit is asked about it. He does say the following:

There are definitely clashes of personality. I think it’s designed for that and it’s certainly not always amicable. But that said, I think at the end of the day, we are all professionals and we all deal with our emotions in different ways. We have had major …read more

America’s Next Top Model judges Tyra Banks and Paulina Porizkova attended the Costume Institute Gala event last night in New York City. The event celebrated the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s newest exhibit, “The Model as Muse” which looks at the role of models throughout the history of fashion. The exhibit looks stunning, nearly as stunning as the stars who walked the red carpet last night.

Paulina opted for a more casual …read more

Tyra Banks was spotted at the LAX airport this weekend and did her best to hide from photographers. She was searched in a private room and was allowed to go through security with her high collared coat, hat, and sunglasses on in an effort not to be noticed. Unfortunately for Tyra, she’s a pretty distinctive person and the paparazzi noticed her anyway.

US Magazine crashed the Oxygen America’s Next Top Model: Obsessed party last week and chatted with all the former competitors and current judges.

Miss J appears to respect that privacy. US asked the runway coach to confirm the relationship and he refused, claiming all he knows is …read more

McKey made the list for her “young, sexy, innocent” vibe. BuddyTV expects McKey to shake up the modeling world.
I love that McKey made that list. She’s definitely sexy, but in an understated sort of way. The best part? She beat out al of Hugh Hefner’s girlfriends, Holly Madison (#50), Bridget Marquardt (#48) and Kendra Wilkinson (#46) as well as Paris Hilton (#45), four stars who fall under a more traditional and masculine version of …read more
