Tyra Blames Celebs For Stealing Supermodels’ Thunder

Dale — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 06:53:32 +0000

With actresses and singers striking lucrative deals with cosmetic giants, Tyra Banks has said that the celebrity models are stealing cosmetic contracts from hard-up supermodels.

The catwalk queen-turned TV talk show host insists that models find it harder to land money-spinning deals with fashion, make-up and fragrance firms, who in turn prefer celebrity models for their adverts.

“I think all supermodels now are losing out to celebrities. It’s celebrities who are getting the cosmetics contracts,” Contactmusic quoted Banks, as saying.

Pop stars and Hollywood’s leading ladies like Jennifer Connelly, Eva Mendes and Beyonce Knowles are being sought to promote cosmetic products, leaving professional models in the lurch.

While Connolly promotes Revlon and Mendes works for Calvin Klein, Knowles is a spokesmodel for L’Oreal.

Janice Dickinson: Tyra Banks Is Not My Favorite Person

Dale — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 06:39:09 +0000

Tonight the fourth season of Janice Dickinson’s Modeling Agency premieres on Oxygen. If you’re anything like us, you probably knew that already because you canceled your life for this special evening ages ago. But in all seriousness, perhaps Dickinson’s show is the one worth paying attention to? After all, as she points out to HX, ANTM‘s first transgender contestant may be getting all the attention right now, but Janice already had a transgender model on her show. From HX:

The media is currently eating up the fact that there’s a transsexual model on the upcoming cycle of Top Model. Oh, please. I did it on my show first with Claudia. But you know what? There’s not going to be a moment where Tyra’s not going to knock me off, so I’m not bothered by her.Is there really room for a transsexual in the industry?
I think that there’s room for a gorgeous transsexual if he or she has her shit together. Transsexuality is gorgeous. My Claudia was gorgeous, and that bitch had a beat on her walk that could blow anyone away.

Have you ever received a little note or phone call from Tyra to congratulate you on the success of your show?
Are you fucking kidding me? Hell, no. Never. Nothing … Believe it, baby. Nor did I ever get a note or call thanking me for helping to put her show on the map. Whatever. She’s not my favorite person.

Since when did JANIS put “ANTM” on the map? Hahaha. I guess she’s forgetting who exactly hosts it.. Honestly though, Janis is trying to feed off of Tyra’s fame, once again, to help herself out. What a loser..
