Who Is America’s Next Top Model 8?
Move over Donald and Rosie — there’s a new celebrity feud in town. When asked if she would continue as a special guest on America’s Next Top Model’s upcoming season, Janice Dickinson, 51, the world’s self-proclaimed first supermodel, says, “Probably not.
I commented on Tyra Banks’ recent weight gain, so she’s mad at me.” But Janice doesn’t seem too upset about being let go. “I have no time for that show.”
Meanwhile, Tyra, 33, is fighting back at the criticism that she’s fat, now weighing 160 pounds after gaining 30 pounds. She even appeared on her talk show on February 1 wearing the swimsuit that sparked the controversy.
Speaking of America’s Next Top Model, they all look gorgeous, but which one of these girls has what it takes to be America’s Next Top Model?
Thanks to In Touch, here are the 13 contestants who will battle it out during the eighth edition of Tyra Banks’ hit reality series, which premieres with a special two-hour episode tonight, February 28, at 8 p.m. on the CW. This year’s international destination will be Sydney, Australia.
