Gee...Robin's not getting any work?

I'm glad Kesse is doing well, I liked her.

I bought the December Marie Claire today. Adrienne is in the diamond ad and a very nice spread on holiday dressing. In both places she is identified as Adrienne Curry, winner of America's Next Top Model.

Thanks for the Web site URL, Jan. :)

Two details I noticed: Adrianne has A LOT of fans in Hong Kong. Her cousin mentions Adrianne's snake "ran away". How does a snake escape and where do snakes go when they do run away?

Jan, I think she's looking very wonderful. Whoever styled her for the layouts really did a great job. They played up her eyes very well. Her face appears more sculpted. I think she will do well. I hope she keeps up her work ethic.

UPN Set to Re-'Model' in January
(Wednesday, November 19 11:20 AM)

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - After heating things up last summer, UPN hopes that "America's Next Top Model" is ready to add some sizzle to the winter months as well. The netlet will launch the second cycle of the "dramality" series (which probably should be called "The Model After America's Next Top Model") on Tuesday, Jan. 13.

"America's Next Top Model" will air in the 9 p.m. ET time slot currently occupied by a comedy rerun and the network's freshman sitcom "Rock Me Baby."

As viewers will recall, "Model" places a cadre of wannabe pinup queens in a New York loft and puts them through a crash course in the skills necessary to become a supermodel. As cameras role, the contestants compete in a variety of challenges for the chance to win modeling and management contracts. Adrianne Curry, a 20-year-old waitress from Chicago, was the first winner.

Tyra Banks returns to "America's Next Top Model" as a host and executive producer. She'll be joined by a panel of judges that includes former supermodel Janice Dickinson, Jane senior fashion editor Eric Nicholson and photographer Nigel Barker. Guest judges will also be on hand.

The second installment of the reality series will be extended to 10 hour-long episodes, as the talent field has expanded to 12 finalists.

The first "Model" debuted in May following the finale of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." It averaged nearly 3.7 million viewers per episode and was UPN's highest-rated program last season among all adult women.

Just a little under two months... I can't wait!

I wonder if Janice has gotten any new plastic surgery since we last saw her.
It will be very interesting to see how the new crop of girls act now that they know what to expect.

Thanks for the article, Jan!

This is a little off-topic, but here goes. Does anyone know what Kate Moss is doing these days? I saw her on TV in a commercial for a European lipstick, she looked great. Is she doing any other work?

Just read this at zap2it.com:

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - A mom, a stripper (but not the kind you're thinking of) and a handful of food-service employees will be among the women vying for the title of "America's Next Top Model."
UPN's model competition, which scored pretty solid ratings in its first go-round last summer, returns for a second season on Tuesday, Jan. 13. Twelve women will be vying for a modeling contract and other prizes this time around, up from 10 in the first cycle.

The stripper in question is actually a wire stripper -- as in electrician -- named Catie Anderson, an 18-year-old from Willmar, Minn. She's one of two 18-year-olds in the competition; the others range in age from 21 to 25.

As with the first go-round, the finalists will live together in a fab New York pad and put through a series of model-related tasks, from mastering a catwalk-worthy strut to conducting themselves well in interviews. The winner receives a contract with IMG Models and photo shoots for Sephora and Jane magazine.
Creator Tyra Banks and Janice Dickinson will return as judges for the second season, but Kimora Lee Simmons and Beau Quillian are out. Replacing them are fashion photographer Nigel Barker and Eric Nicholson, senior fashion editor of Jane.

I am so excited for this show to start. I loved the first one. I kind of wish Kimora would be back, but I won't miss Beau. Much as I dislike Janice, she does certainly add to the show. The prizes don't seem as high-end this time. I've never seen Sephora magazine.

It's kind of sad how much I'm looking forward to this.

Not1worry: I hear ya! When I started watching the first season I did it on a lark thinking it would a really stupid show. I was surprised at how quickly I got sucked in and how it really was a good show.

Let's hope the quality of the show is maintained this year too.

Just saw a commerical on UPN for the new season.

It starts on Jan. 13th.

The girls look so beautiful and they seem fierce. I have a feeling this group will be much more competitive and serious when it comes to the challenges than the first bunch was.

Yes, I think it's going to make a big difference with this 2nd bunch having already seen a show. Remember Elise said she didn't even really think the show would get aired. I bet we won't have any girls refusing to go on reward evenings so they can stay home and call their loser boyfriend. This group is going to benefit from some of the mistakes the first group made, and I' sure there will be drawbacks as well. I think the judges will expect more.

Goody, I didn't get to watch the last one because I didn't have UPN. But now my cable company has added it. From what I read here it sounded like I was missing out. I can't wait!! :)

My guide has it listed for tonight and tomorrow night. Looks like the same episode, so if anyone has something like a power outage, you'll get a second chance! It says the models entertain Marines on a ship. Hmmmmm...let's just get right to the weird photo shoots and cattiness.

Okay, the show's been over for 30 minutes here, let's get in here and talk!

Favorites?

Least favorites?

My faves are Shandi, because she seems so unlikely and because I do see beauty under all that grunge. Also, Catie and April. I think Mercedes is very beautiful but I didn't get to see enough about her to for more of an opinion. I might like Yoanna too, need to see her more.

Least faves are Camille, much too full of herself. I'm not opposed to that in general, but she seems to be too ripe for conflict. Not crazy about Bethany, she reminds me of the blond who was out in the 2nd or 3rd episode last season. Xiomara (what a bunch of weird names this season!) doesn't have a look that I think is beautiful. Jenascia's eyes creep me out and her skin looks unhealthy.

I was sorry to see Anna go, but I knew that she would never have the passion for this that Tyra wants to see. She was very pretty, but I could see the beauty queen thing they referred to. I was glad she didn't do the nude shoot, she left with no regrets. Imagine if she'd done it and gotten eliminated anyway. Good for her.

Good to see Janice looking insane, as always. Her eyebrows!!!!

I think she had a brow lift and the surgeon lifted way TOO MUCH!
