Paulina Porizkova cut from Top Model

Tonight's America's Next Top Model finale will be the last time supermodel and judge, Paulina Porizkova will be on the show.

Porizkova revealed last night on the Late Late Show that she was fired from Top Model on April 9th.

That day was also her birthday.

"The reason I was told I was fired was because it seemed that America's Next Top Model has gotten too fat, and they needed to cut some fat, and the fat was me," she explained.

She said her dismissal was due to her "gigantic, huge ego."

"Which I wasn't aware of until I was told by the producers that I have an ego problem," she added.

I guess Tyra couldn't stand Paulina stealing the spotlight any longer!

Happy Birthday!

Alicia Keys plays Michelle Obama

...and she does a much better job than Tyra!

As part of Glamour magazine's "American Icons" feature, the 28 year-old singer portrays First Lady, Michelle Obama.

Dressed in a blue dress, with two young girls, and of course, a puppy by her side, Alicia Keys embodies the First Lady's best traits, looking poised, elegant, and chic.

“She has worked hard for everything she’s accomplished, and done so with grace and humility. So many women and girls can identify with her story,” Keys told the magazine.

Other female celebrities taking part in this feature include Hayden Panettiere as Amelia Earhart, Emma Roberts as Audrey Hepburn, and Canadian actress Elisha Cuthbert as Brandi Chastain. Lindsay Lohan is also photographed as Madonna and America Ferrera as Dolores Huerta.

Weird, but true!

The former American Idol contestant, Clay Aiken will be a guest judge on America's Next Top Model.

A rep. for the show confirmed that the 30-year-old singer will be featured on the April 8th episode, working with the aspiring models in an acting challenge.

Even though Aiken's been performing in Spamalot on broadway, he's seems kind of unqualified for the job. This seems more like Tyra Banks getting one of her friends on the show.

America’s Next Top Model’s twelfth cycle premieres on Wednesday, February 25.

I guess Tyra Banks realized Top Model is getting kind of old!

The CW is set to air a spin-off show of America's Next Top Model called Operation Fabulous.

On the show, Top Model regulars, Mr. and Miss J(ay) (a.k.a. Jay Manuel and Miss J. Alexander) will travel the globe to given women makeovers.

They will select five participants from each town, and give them "Top Model" treatment: how to dress, wear their hair and makeup and bring out their confidence with the support of family, friends, and their community.

The show will be produced by the executive producers of Top Model, Tyra Banks and Ken Mok.

Will you be watching this show? It's really nothing that original, but at least we won't have be annoyed from watching Tyra anymore!

Miley shuts down Disneyland!

Hannah Montana star, Miley Cyrus, celebrated her sweet 16 at Disneyland this weekend.

The controversial Disney star shut down the theme park for an early celebration of this milestone (her actual birthday is November 23).

More than 5000 guests (who paid $250) attended the party, and enjoyed performances from Miley and her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus.

Accompanying Billy Ray was Miley's 20-year-old boyfriend, Justin Gaston.

Celebrities in attendance included Tyra Banks, David Archuleta, Demi Lovato, and Cindy Crawford.

This is just ridiculous

Tyra must be happy! Her CW show, America's Next Top Model, is going to be a video game for Nintendo DS.

In the game, players will guide a model through challenges and photoshoots. If they make it to the end, they will be crowned the winner.

The game will be available in stores November 7th.

Seriously...who would buy this? Tyra will probably have to give them out on her talk show, although she's probably too cheap to do that. It would be interesting to see what the video game Tyra looks like though...
