So, in addition to the music videos the girls of "America's Next Top Model" all-stars made during the cycle, Lisa D'Amato and Dominque Reighard have released music videos for their own projects outside the show. Check them out.
Lisa's video is for the song "Soldier" off her album "Flippin' the Bird," which is available on iTunes now. That is So what Lisa would title her album. Dominique's "On Top the World" does not appear to be off of an album, but you can still pick up the single at her website.
We have to say - is it just us, or is Dominique like unrecognizable in her video? Weird. Let us know what you think of the music. And also - are you disappointed there's no "Pot Ledom" involved?...

The "America's Next Top Model" girls head to Greece, to be part of a Greek salad for their photoshoot. Yes, really.
Greece is the Word
The girls find out it's time to head to Greece. Before they leave, Lisa makes some snotty comments about Allison and how she (Lisa) is more the whole package. You're just mad you got beat at the music video contest, Lisa.
They have a challenge on the flight to Crete where they have to prepare a one-minute speech that includes a bunch of Greek words. No huge surprise that Angelea thinks she'll just wing it. Because if it's memorized it won't have her flavor or something.
Allison rocks it and wins the challenge. Most of the girls really biff it. Poor Laura is so awkward and hardly uses any Greek. She's hilarious. Angelea hardly uses any Greek and then makes a bathroom joke. Oh lordy.

Alexandria Everett is the latest contestant sent home from "America's Next Top Model" All Star edition. She tells Zap2it what she's been working on since she did back-to-back cycles and that she was was a little upset Cycle 17 was basically just like the one she'd just been on.
Are you glad you went back for another cycle of "Top Model"?
"Yeah, you know, I would definitely regret if I said I wasn't. I did it for my fans and I did it for myself, so I'm really happy with that decision. I feel like you can always learn from every decision that you make. I learned a lot, just like Cycle 16. I will use everything I learned to my advantage now in the real world."
Were you surprised to get the call for All Stars? You couldn't have been off of Cycle 16 for very long when it came.
"Right...

On "America's Next Top Model," I thought the music video challenge was going to be a trainwreck, but it turns out I was wrong.
The Challenge
Some Madison girl is on the Tyra Mail screen giving make-up tips. I'm sorry, but I work on the internet and I have no idea who this is. Hmm. It turns out the challenge is writing a song and starring in a music video. Um, yikes. This so unfair for the girls who aren't musically inclined. And it's not something a non-musically-inclined person would even care about doing. *headsmack*
Angelea comments, "We're going to be shooting a music video and it will be viral." You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. Jay then says, "This can totally change your life. Think how going viral worked for Rebecca Black and Justin Bieber." Um, first of all...

Well we made it everybody! We're finally in the home stretch of this cycle and it couldn't have come soon enough. As we start tonight's show Lisa is upset about Bre leaving but also adds that Bianca doesn't have a bodyguard anymore.
Alexandria, looking the least fierce I've ever seen her, reminds us that the judges knocked her picture for looking like "a reality TV star" and I'm reminded what a joke that is considering the fact that they are on a reality TV show. They — Tyra included — need to get over themselves and probably shouldn't use that as a way to cut the contestants down, particularly considering who their guest judges have been so far.
Shannon says she thinks the judges want more raunch from her. I think she just needs to stop being boring.
Bianca is pissed that the house is full of cliques because now she doesn't...

So I'll admit I was a bit too dazed by the appearance of cute New England Patriot Julian Edelman to give my recap of Coco's guest judging episode of Antm: All-Stars my full attention last night. (Call me!)
From Angelea's breakdown to Bre's screaming, Rocha was a wonder - gracious, patient and not a diva at all.
Coco Rocha wears a ton of makeup
Coco Rocha talks to Anderson Cooper
But I'm a professional and I'm here to deliver, so here are the shots of Rocha with the competing pairs in the "bar b*tchfight" challenge, via Youtube slideshow, featuring fierce music. I'm sure Gloria Steinem would have a lot to say about this. I just have this to say: I'm hungry. And I'm totally going to watch the New England Patriots all the damn time now.
Anyway, y'all, Lisa and Dominique ended up winning this challenge - rightly,...

It's a double elimination on "America's Next Top Model" week, where they have what is maybe the most ridiculous photoshoot of all time (and that is saying something).
The Challenge
The girls are at the Roosevelt Hotel to design their own fragrance. Ooh, that's awesome. I would really get into that challenge. Lisa names her scent "Neon," Laura goes with "Love," Dominique goes with "Survivor," Shannon names hers "Smitten," Angelea names hers "Angelea" (of coruse she does, Angelea rules), Allison names hers "Honey Blood," Kayla's is "Free" (again, snoooooze), Bianca's is "Candid" and Alexandria's is "Diamondatrix." Huh.
I wish these were for sale because I really want to smell them all. I feel like I would like Allison's just because I love her and I'm kind of a big weirdo like her. But who knows? I want to smell them!
For the challenge, they are selling...

Once a reality show has been in the trenches for a few weeks, its contestants are bound to get a little frustrated. Even the most seasoned of reality famewhore can get a little tired of the constant grind that the medium requires: the inane challenges, the leading questions that you just know will be edited strangely, the lack of any proper distractions in television or the internet. After the show has gotten through its first few weeks and worn down the optimism to a nice, crisp apathy, you get to see the claws come out.
Luckily, Top Model: This Cycle Has Nothing to Do With Fashion Stop Pretending It Does, Tyra comes prepared for situations like this, as crazy Aunt Tyra let the girls take out some frustration in "Coco Rocha". For having such a well-known collection of basketcases and weirdos, America's Next Top Model: You're Lucky to Remember...

Coco Rocha is on hand for a "b**** fight" photoshoot. That should be such a stretch for some of the "America's Next Top Model" girls.
After Panel
Bianca continues to be confrontational and think everybody hates her because she's a threat. Must be Wednesday.
The Challenge
Flag football. Awesome. Brittny Gastineau and Julie Henderson are there. Brittny is a socialite and Julie is a "fiercely real" supermodel. The teams are filled out by the eliminated girls, then some NFL players - Julian Edelman from the Patriots, Jahvid Best from the Lions, Kareem Jackson from the Texas and Dante Hughes from the Chargers. Angelea is beside herself. You and me both, girl.
The stupid Tyra twist is when a flag is thrown, you have to immediately strike a pose for the photographer. You win a spread on Tyra's website and some jewelry. The winning team splits $5000 between the two charities represented...

Another Wednesday night is here and my booty is firmly tooched on the couch for America's Next Top Model. The three of us (I'm assuming there's still three of us) have made it all the way to the Kardashian guest star appearance. Yay for us.
When we last were with the girls, Angelea won the challenge and now she is feeling supa dupa fly and in her solo interview she says the other girls better be scared because they underestimated her. She's ready to take over now.
Bre thought she'd be doing better since she's been working as a model professionally for the last six years but she's not doing as well as she'd like.
Lisa says we better hold on tight because she's about to unleash the crazy beast from inside. I can't wait because I am bored as hell.
Kayla and Bianca talk about how they didn't think...

Well, it’s about time!Tonight’s episode, "Latoya Jackson," gave us some good old-fashioned Antm meltdowns and the sort of drama that got me hooked on the show in the first place.
For some unknown reason, Shannon the Christian felt attacked by Bianca the Villain, setting the stage for a huge fight that somehow ended up involving the whole house.In the middle of it all was, of course, Lisa the Clown.
Bianca’s supreme confidence coupled with the other girls aligning against her put her at odds with the judges and everyone but Bre.Yes, Bianca, you are 6 ft tall, 120 lbs. and beautiful.Now make up your mind on whether you want to be on Antm because you can’t seem to stop whining!
The girls modeled for the Kardashian Kollection for their runway on a carousel challenge.Sisters Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney all showed up to support...

We start things off Wednesday (Oct. 12) on "America's Next Top Model" with Bre and Lisa talking about how they need to step it up and how they're in danger, which leads me to predict they are the Bottom 2 tonight. Meanwhile, Bianca is all mopey and Dominique rightly points out you can never be above an opportunity, which is true.
A lot of the evicted models have been telling us in interviews that they were pitched something totally different for all-stars than what it turned out to be. But it's still face time on TV and a chance for something.
Now there is phone drama about calling their families. Shannon has a good idea about drawing spots for time and Bianca gets last. She has a problem with it, but she's not confrontational about it, but Shannon the "quiet Christian" kind of loses it. I don't love Bianca, but I'm with her on this one.

Welcome back ladies and gents! If you've made it this far along the All Stars cycle of America's Next Top Model, you are a true warrior!
The episode begins with the girls coming back to the house and Angelea says she's going to work on showing herself more.
Lisa brings out the bottles of wine and reminds us she did a stint on Celebrity Rehab. I totally missed that season, but I'm thinking the networks are going to have to start redefining their takes on "Celebrity" "Stars" and "All Stars." Even though Lisa brought the booze out, she says she's not going to drink. She's going to keep her head focused.
The girls get some snail mail and while the younger contestants seem to be getting a lot of clothes and fun things from home, Camille gets a big box of work. She said she's been doing well but work...

Oh my, who says models aren't smart?
In "Anthony Zuiker," we got an early look at the most painful challenge that all Antm candidates face: memorizing lines. But double the pain because they had to memorize difficult (re: unpronounceable) medical jargon from CSI.
In almost every cycle of Antm to date, there was a medical mishap. In Cycle 6, Danielle suffered from food poisoning in Thailand; in Cycle 7, CariDee almost got hypothermia.This cycle it was Kayla with a serious headache.
After Kayla overdosed on ibuprofen, the poor thing had a “mini-heart attack” and was taken to the hospital.Thankfully, she returned to model mansion looking as good as new, even if she did look drained throughout the episode.
The actual CSI challenge was seriously painful to watch.Neosporin?Gas?Mass?Ass?These were just some of the words that the girls threw around as they attempted to pronounce "gas chromatograph mass spectrometer.

I'm not going to play, last night's episode of America's Next Top Model made me want this All Star cycle to be over with quickness. Not only am I over trying to suspend my disbelief that most of these girls were the chosen as "All Stars," but as of yesterday we found out Kelly Cutrone will be replacing Andre Leon Talley as a judge next season. Alright, I won't postpone this any longer, let's dive in.
As with the last two episodes, the girls are in the limo cab on their way back to the model house and are discussing the night's elimination results. Lisa says she was surprised she won. I don't know what kind of Toddlers and Tiaras thing she's got going on with her hair in these interview clips, but it needs to go.

America's Next Top Model: All Stars kicks off its third week with Kristin Cavallari making an unannounced arrival at the house for a quick chat with the girls about staying true to themselves, before everyone is off to meet Nigel Barker at The Grove where a Big elimination twist is waiting. After the girls split into two teams - Team 1: Lisa, Laura, Alexandria, Isis, Dominique and Angelea / Team 2: Bianca, Allison, Bre, Camille, Shannon and Kayla - Nigel says that they will be interviewed by Extra host Mario Lopez and the team that does the best will be exempt from elimination at panel. Wow. Team two are the winners which means Lisa, Laura, Alexandria, Dominique, Isis and Angelea are facing elimination. Allison is named the overall winner and her prize is having a proper interview with Extra. Angelea's not feeling too good about Nigel's comments (more)...

In addition to smizing and whatever other weird stuff Tyra Banks has made up over the years, "America's Next Top Model" has now given us "booty tooch."
Post-Panel
Allison is wearing an animal hood around the house and talking about how weird she is. Huh. The next morning, Kristin Cavallari shows up. Yet another random guest judge who will not offer anything constructive.
The Challenge
At The Grove in Los Angeles, the girls are going to be interviewed in groups by Mario Lopez (currently of that awful, awful show "H8R") or Alfred Clifford Slater, as he will always be known to me. Lisa and Bianca get to pick the teams, so it ends up Lisa, Laura, Lex, Isis, Dominique, Angelea and then Bianca, Allison, Bre, Camille, Shannon and Kayla. And then Nigel drops a bomb - the winning team is safe at judging. Wow. That is a lot of girls.

Um, I am still recovering from last night's episode of America's Next Top Model. It took me three — yes, three — hours to watch the show last night because there were too many amazingly awkward screen-shots to take. This morning, I had 94 pictures from last night's show on my iPhone — 94 pictures of awkwardness mostly of a bizarre sexual nature. Go to the bathroom, grab a drink and maybe a snack and settle in for this recap.
We start in the van talking about the awesome prizes up for grabs this season. Virginal Shannon seems to be the most psyched and even comes across as a little scary if Lisa's face is any indication.
Angelea says she doesn't care that Brittany was sent home. Alexandria laments over the fact that so many people don't like her and want her to go home but says she knows that a lot of people...

As we all know by now, America's Next Top Model: All Stars is not all about taking pretty pictures, it's also focused on building yourself as a brand and establishing an empire, which explains why each of the models had to design their own hot dog this week and sell it in a photoshoot which represented them as a person. Watch Nigel explaining the new cycle below: Each of our remaining models meets a branding expert who gives them a word that fans would use to describe them and that they must aim to build their brand on. Kayla is slightly offended when she suggests her word should be 'Lgbt' but the expert tells her that was "five years ago" and she is given 'free' instead. The other words are: Lisa (daring), Sheena (unexpected), Shannon (trustworthy), Dominique (survivor), Allison (unique), Angelea (persistence), Bre (girlfriend), Camille (more)...

Poor Brittany was the first casualty of the "America's Next Top Model" all-star season. On the way home from judging, the girls go bonkers over the prizes for the winner of the season. There's a quick montage of all the girls saying they deserve to win. I just wish one had been like, "Naw, I should get like fourth place."
Branding (unfortunately, not with cattle prods)
At the Model Manse, Alexandria says she's "a misunderstood star." Snerk. Whatever you need to tell yourself to sleep at night. Um, what is with the talking-head interviews where everyone has on Chemo Patient Chic? Weird.
Anyway. Tyra shows up with Martin Lindstrom, a "brand strategist genius" (Tyra's words). He is there to school them about their individual brands, which he says should boil down to one word that he assigns them. Lisa gets daring, Sheena gets unexpected and then Martin tells Kayla her...

I can't believe it's already time for another season of America's Next Top Model. Last night's premiere picked up right where I remember it leaving off - which is to say, ridiculously.
Our fearless leader, Tyra Banks, tosses and turns in her bed as visions of RuPaul — no, wait — visions of herself emulating past contestants dance around her head.
She wakes to tell us it's not a nightmare; it's a reality. She went back through all the old cycles and brought back our favorites for a season of Antm All-Stars (or mostly the people who caused some kind of controversy)!
This season is gonna get cray because not only are the All-Stars coming, but a whole slew of B-d list celebrities will be giving the girls pointers, possibly trying to hit on them and definitely trying to pimp out their new clothing line (Kardashians, I am looking at you).

Is it possible for a show to be rushed and have absolutely nothing happen at the same time?
If so, then I think tonight's season premiere of America's Next Top Model may be a prime example, as the episode went by extremely fast and at the end, I was left feeling like not much had transpired. Of course, it's always lovely to have this traveling circus of crazy back on my TV for a few months each year, but "Nicki Minaj" felt like a two-hour premiere dressed up as a one-hour episode. Let me explain.
For starters, the fact that Brittany was sent home for rather arbitrary reasons is a little bit bogus, especially when the "challenge" wasn't even acknowledged as a challenge until after it was completed. Had the show been longer, there could have been an official challenge to go along with the surprise panel challenge to give...

We're here, "America's Next Top Model" fans. The newest cycle and probably the one we've most been looking forward to - all-stars. After a terrifying open where Tyra is apparently being haunted by the past contestants, we meet our girls:
Shannon Stewart (Cycle 1), Camille McDonald (Cycle 2), Brittany Brower (Cycle 4), Lisa D'Amato (Cycle 5), Bre Scullark (Cycle 5), Bianca Golden (Cycle 9), Dominique Reighard (Cycle 10), Isis King (Cycle 11), Sheena Sakai (Cycle 11), Allison Harvard (Cycle 12), Laura Kirkpatrick (Cycle 13), Angelea Preston (Cycle 14), Kayla Ferrel (Cycle 15) and Alexandria Everett (Cycle 16).
Here is our photo gallery if you want to check out the all-star ladies.
I'll have to confess - Cycle 7 was the first one I watched, so the girls from prior to that one are new to me. I apologize if I don't know what they're all about right away. But let's get to it!
Highlights from the intros
Angelea still rubs me the wrong way. She's...

Well, Top Model fans, we're still a week and a half away from opening up the specially wrapped present crazy aunt Tyra left us, which is sure to feature more than enough hot mess antics, ridiculous delusions, and frustrating decisions. The present, you ask?
America's Next Top Model: All-Stars.
Ahead of the show's premiere on September 14th, I thought we could channel all the excitement and anticipation for the fireworks that are sure to come with a little early pontificating. Before us, we have 14 models of various capabilities and experience, but there can be only one to take the title and with it, the prizes, which include a spread in Italian Vogue and the chance to be a guest correspondent for Extra. Just which of these women do you think will come out on top?
At this stage in the game, I think I'll be putting my money on.

When Tyra Banks announced that Cycle (Season) 17 of "America's Next Top Model" would be an "All-Star" edition featuring past contestants, we were concerned that the show would be more about catfights and less about the catwalk. The show's name is "America's Next Top Model," not "America's Second Chance Top Model." How would these also-rans (many of whom are in their late 20s or even 30s) succeed in an industry that embraces youth and is always looking for the next new face? The cast shots were recently released, and fall back upon the stereotypes the girls portrayed in their prior seasons. Click on the "Launch Gallery" button below to see the photos: Conservative Shannon is portrayed as an angel, while icy Camille dons a sparkly bodysuit. Party girl Lisa is doing the splits, masculine Dominique sports a tie, bombshell Sheena poses provocatively, country bumpkin Laura holds a fishing pole, and wide-eyed...

" Survivor " has done it. So has " Top Chef ." Now, " America's Next Top Model " is getting its own all-star edition. "America's Next Top Model All-Stars" was announced Thursday by creator/head judge Tyra Banks . The show, debuting this fall, features 14 memorable contestants from 16 past cycles, including the most current season. Check out the 14 contestants in the gallery below: With three "mean girls" Bianca (Cycle 9), Dominique (Cycle 10) and Alexandria (Cycle 16) all living under one roof, there will be catfights galore. They'll surely go head-to-head with the outspoken Bre (Cycle 5), Sheena (Cycle 11) and Angelea (Cycle 14). Meanwhile, expect conservative Shannon (Cycle 1) and Southern sweetheart Laura (Cycle 13) to play mediators. As of course, Lisa (Cycle 5) will bring the laughs. However, there were some obvious omissions, including fabulous plus-sized model Toccara (Cycle 3), Jade, the self-proclaimed "undiscovered supermodel" (Cycle 6), and Jael, the edgy girl with rocker flair (Cycle 8). With some of the contestants pushing 30, the winner likely...

When we prepared ourselves to speak with Houston's Dominique Waldrup, the last eliminated model on "America's Next Top Model," we had no idea what we were in for. It's clear she doesn't look back fondly on her experience.
"Yes, it's reality TV," Dominique tells Zap2it. "But I feel like there's two sides to reality TV. There's one when you're watching and you think this is all happening to them. But, when you're in it, it's reality to a certain extent. People don't see the production part."
The 23-year-old was very willing to enlighten us on the production side of things, the lack of direction she got and how she feels she forced the show to eliminate her.
Here are the juiciest bits from our conversation:
On her overall impression of the show: "I kind of felt like we were there just for the ratings. I felt like they didn't really care about us.
