ANTM Model Pregnant

trix — Wed, 13 May 2009 17:31:00 GMT

Thalia Brooks, a former ANTM contestant is pregnant.

"America's Next Top Model" watchers will know exactly how great of news this really is.

Now I know Thalia is only 18, as is her boyfriend, but she thought she would never be able to have kids. She suffered second-and-third-degree burns when she was 8-months-old and has had 14 surgeries to fix the damage that was wrought.

She told Tyra Banks, "I was told multiple times over and over that I couldn't get pregnant just from my scars holding me back, other physical things going on with my body, I was always told I was never going to be able to conceive children."

So I'm guessing it was a surprise.

She went on to say: "During the show David and I were together. Once I got home, he and I started having some complications. Shortly after that, we did break up because we both agreed that we had some stuff we needed to work on individually. So that is exactly what we are doing and still doing."

Her boyfriend David Michaels said: "When I first found out I was surprised and excited at the same time because members of my family since the moment they saw me and Tahlia together have told me that they know we are going to be together and have a family together. And, yes we have complications we are working through right now, but I know we will be able to get through it as a couple because we both still are in love."

So there you go, Thalia Brooks is going to be a mommy. They say they have a good support system, which they will definitely need, because as we all know it's hard to raise kids when you are an adult, let alone when you are a kid yourself.

Levi Gets Snubbed By Modeling Industry

Josh loposer — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 16:00:00 GMT

What's Levi Johnston's career strategy -- beyond doing interviews about how he knocked up Sarah Palin's daughter? One of his vague aspirations is apparently to profit from his 15 minutes by becoming a model. So far, it looks like the modeling industry's taking a pass.

According to a CBS Early Show report, Levi's self-proclaimed career prospects go something like this: “He says that he will be an electrician like everyone else in his family, or maybe all this publicity will lead to a modeling or acting gig, which he is open to.”

While I could kinda see Levi doing some modeling work for the Bass Pro Shop catalog, it's hard to imagine him supporting himself and his baby Tripp with his acting skillz.

Of course, when Vanity Fair heard about Levi's opportunistic and quasi-ridiculous plan, they couldn't help themselves. They decided to contact some of top modeling agencies to see if they were interested in working with the infamous baby daddy.

Click Models
“We didn’t reach out to him. I guess he’s interested, but we weren’t,” said Stephanie Grill, director of Click’s men’s board.

DNA Model Management
“No one has reached out to him. He’s a good-looking guy, but not really a model type. No one would see him on the runway. He was ill-at-ease on Tyra Banks and I can’t see that changing drastically,” said Fred Howard of DNA public relations.

Ford Models
“No one in the Men’s Division has reached out. It wasn’t even brought up. I know every time I saw him during the elections, I never thought, ‘He should be a male model.’ It would be doubtful,” said Jesse Simon of the Ford men’s board, in New York.

Miley Cyrus' Sweet 16: We Partied Like It Was 2008

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 22:05:00 GMT

I took my two daughters to Miley Cyrus' Sweet 16 party at Disneyland last night. I'm deaf now because of all the screaming, but my girls told me in sign language that they had an awesome time.

That Miley knows how to throw a party. Disney estimates that over 5,000 people attended the soiree, which cost $250 a ticket and featured a short concert by Miley and her dad Billy Ray. Celebrity guests included Steve Carell, Tyra Banks, Cindy Crawford and David Archuleta. We saw all of them during the 'purple carpet' arrivals, but didn't see any of them roaming the park. I was disappointed, since I was looking forward to sitting real close to Carell on the Jungle Cruise and pretending he and I were on our honeymoon.

Miley's new boyfriend Justin Gaston joined Billy Ray on stage for a performance of "Achy Breaky Heart," and Billy Ray introduced him as "a family friend." I guess this means Justin gets the Cyrus stamp of approval; I remember my dad always introducing my boyfriends as "the bastard that's dating my daughter."

The evening ended with a huge fireworks display and the entire crowd singing Happy Birthday to Miley. It was almost 11:30pm by this point, though, so my two daughters were pretty much laying flat on their backs on Main Street asking for pillows. But still - Disneyland on a school night? They're the envy of all their friends. Like I said, that Miley knows how to throw a party.

Victoria's Secret Dialling Down The Sexy: MILFs Everywhere Mourn

HerBadMother — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 13:34:00 GMT

What will Heidi Klum do? How will she retain the crown of MILFiest Mom In The History Of The World, Ever, if she does not have her peek-a-boo diamond studded bras or pearl-encrusted thongs from Victoria's Secret? However will she rock that sexy then?

Victoria's Secret is reported to be toning back their sexy image, in order to return to their stand-by reputation as purveyors of pretty - rather than sexy - underthings. This sounds good to me - what with the triple-D partum boobage, I can't pull off those flimsy boobkerchiefs that Heidi seems to always wear - but I'm guessing that there's a whole army of cougars - MILF or otherwise - out there ready to storm the Vicki's Secret barricades and stock up on the stripper-wear before the lacy daisy-print brassieres flood the stores.

Heidi Klum Top Sexiest Naked Model In The History Of The World, Ever

HerBadMother — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 22:35:00 GMT

According to Models.com, Heidi Klum is the number one most sexiest model, ever, because not only is she awesome with her clothes (mostly) off, she has her own line of candy.

The website ranked Heidi as number one on their Top 25 Sexiest Models list, stating their reasons as follows:

“Project Runway with an audience in the millions. Check. A Victoria Secret’s contract that Miss Klum has an iron grip on. Check. Her own line of shoes, jewelry and candy. Check. The icon they call Heidi Inc. is no mere sexy mortal this one, but a force of nature. All hail."

If you can overlook the bad grammar, you'll see that they make some good points. Although I'm not sure that Heidi's lines of shoes and candy have as much to do with her 'sexy' ranking as does her propensity for yapping about her husband's peen, fondling herself, and prancing about on Vicki's Secret runways with only a diamond-encrusted bra on. But that's just me.

Other top-ranked sexy models, from numbers 2 to 5: Gisele Bunchen, Adriana Lima, Tyra Banks and Karolina Kurkova. (Tyra? Really?)

Tyra, Queen Of The Amazon, Meets The Sutters

HerBadMother — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 23:14:00 GMT

If anyone has ever doubted that Tyra Banks is a woman of epic proportions - and I mean that in the best, most awed way - then one need only look at this picture, in which Tyra towers over former football player Ryan Sutter and his (former Bachelorette) wife, Trista. Never mind the baby. Tyra's left breast is bigger than that baby.

I don't know what was in the water where she grew up, but boy-oh-boy did it make her GROW. Something fierce.

Jessica Alba's Heaving Breasts!

Sassy Smith — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 18:07:00 GMT

Jessica Alba is already starting to show signs of pregnancy, and by that, I mean her jugs are huge! The 26-year-old actress is scared of breastfeeding but she's loving the way her boobs have gotten bigger now that she's with child.

"I was like, 'Wow, where did these breasts come from?' It was instant. It was great, but shocking." I know, I felt the same way Jess. Wait until they go away though, big let down. Sigh. Jessica went from a B cup to a D. ~~Bitch.~~

Alba has been talking about how her body is rapidly changing in many ways, and how pregnancy was "like a sedative." She adds, "You go, 'What's happening?' You definately have to go with the flow. You have to surrender, but it's a shock to the system."

Enjoy it while it lasts!

Jessica Alba & Tyra Banks Shower Together?

Sassy Smith — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 18:07:00 GMT

Jessica Alba in the shower sounds enticing right? However, this isn't about Alba getting wet, sorry guys! Jessica had her first baby shower on the Tyra Banks Show.

Tyra spoiled Jessica, presenting her with a stage full of gifts reportedly worth $6,000! Wow, why couldn't Tyra invite me on her show when I was having kids?

Banks also asked Alba the burning question on everyone's mind: "How does it feel to have boobs now?" Jessica answered: "I've never dealt with cleavage before.... it's a whole new thing." Jess then revealed that she went from a 32B cup size to a 34D.

The two women talked about the baby's gender, which Jessica isn't revealing just yet, although there's been some speculation that she's having a boy.

The full episode airs today, February 1.

Future Supermodels Of The World, Unite And Take Over

HerBadMother — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 22:45:00 GMT

Is it wrong to say that someone's young daughter looks like a future supermodel? I mean, granted, it'd be better to say, oh, she'll make a great president/brain-surgeon/rocket-scientist one day!, but this is Cindy Crawford's kid we're talking about, and damn if she isn't the spitting image of her mother.

That, and she's looking almost freakishly comfortable with the camera as she strides confidently alongside her parents. Almost like she's backstage at the Marc Jacobs show with her entourage, taking an interview with Vogue. So, yeah, I'm calling future supermodel. Future supermodel who could totally be president if she wanted, but still: SUPERMODEL. Someone keep Tyra away from her, though. None of that America's Next Top Catalogue Model for this one.

Tyra Banks Is Pregnant?

Sassy Smith — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 19:06:00 GMT

Is former Supermodel and talk show host Tyra Banks pregnant?

Apparently there are those such rumors now that Banks is dating a great catch (and she was looking a tad heavy or maybe it's the outfit?). Her new man, John Utendahl runs the largest African American owned investment bank in the U.S. The couple was recently spotted dining in New York.

Tyra Banks Is Gonna Be A Mom

HerBadMother — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 14:15:00 GMT

Is Tyra America's Next Top Mom? That's her plan.

The former Victoria's Secret model and producer and host of America's Top Next Model is saying that she plans to adopt a child in 2008.

She says that she's ready to become a mom, but not does not feel the need to ~~bring a man into her Empire Of Divadom to get the job done~~ bear the child herself. “I’ve wanted to adopt since I was nine," she said. "I have a connection with children and they don’t have to come from my womb for me to have that connection.”

I think that she should just select one of the smaller girls from her backlog of America's Next Top Model wannabes - some of them are tiny enough to be children (some of them are children, being not quite out of their teens), and skinny enough that if she squints, she could almost imagine that she'd rescued them from some war-torn, poverty-ravaged country.

Kidding. It's always good news when someone decides to become a parent. Congrats, Tyra.

Best Campaign Message Ever: Barack Obama and the Anti-Hilton

Whit Honea — Tue, 02 Oct 2007 20:58:00 GMT

"This isn't a Hilton hotel, is it?"

Presidential hopeful Barack Obama told Tyra Banks that his his 9-year-old daughter, Malia, will ask that question whenever they stay at a new hotel while touring the country. Apparently she watches the news and does not approve of one Miss Paris Hilton.

Look at Obama trying to rock the sane vote.

Maybe Malia should run for president.
