Buzz Notes: Introducing the America’s Next Top Model All-Stars

antm1 Buzz Notes: Introducing the Americas Next Top Model All Stars

When Derek Blanks introduced his alter ego photo spreads a few years ago the signature shoot quickly replaced the public interest (okay, mine) once associated with analyzing the selected shots of the week featured on America’s Next Top Model. Alicia Keys’ inner aggressive stud going head-to-head with her more demure cookie dough eating fem self resonated more with Crunkland, as it should, than some stranger bitch with a fucked up haircut trying to smile with her eyes.

Much like the Pied Pisser of R&B, poor Tyra hasn’t learned to leave those girls right where she found them — in the middle of the mall working the Auntie Anne’s Pretzels booth. Thankfully, she is giving tired viewers a break from that regularly scheduled programming in the upcoming season of ANTM. Here’s to hope that Isis King takes it all!

Teenagers and the pedophiles who lust after them (no shade R.Kelly, get well soon) let out a blood curdling scream as Tyra Banks promoted her upcoming novel Modelland, a new read based on her time in the industry. Wondering what the hell is going on with her eye? Let Ty Ty Baby explain:

“So at Modelland, this fantasy world that I’ve created for my novel, if you find one of these, which I call a ’smize,’ it increases your chances of getting into the most exclusive school in the entire world, the school that creates the most amazing supermodels called Intoxibellas. It increases your chances by 91 percent. [...] The models have magic in this school most definitely, so it’s a totally fantasy adventure novel.” (source)

In other words Harry Potter for the America’s Next Top Model viewer demographic. View more flicks from her appearance after the jump.

Since announcing and actually fulfilling her promise of ending her talk show after five years, Tyra Banks influence on TV and her role in fashion seems to be discussed everywhere, whether its bloggers writing about somewhat overbearing behavior or journalists actually applauding her ascent beyond just the role of “supermodel.” Either way, she doesn’t seem to go away fast enough.
