André Leon Talley Is Judging the Next Season of America’s Next Top Model

Tyra "Smize" Banks is currently filming the next season of America's Next Top Model in New Zealand. Rumor had it she recruited Kimora Lee Simmons and Vogue's André Leon Talley to judge with her. However, New Zealand's celebrity-hungry press are watching Banks and her crew's every move, and they have unearthed that, contrary to what we suspected, André Leon Talley is a new full-time judge on the season. Kimora Lee Simmons is merely a guest judge. New Zealand–based Cassius blog reports:

Tyra, Nigel, Jay M., Jay A., and new judge, Vogue Editor-at-Large, André Leon Talley, have been in Auckland since the first week of December, and we're not kidding when we say, everyone is obsessed with spotting or stalking them like an endangered species lol, which they are as New Zealand rarely hosts many Hollywood celebrities.

TVNZ even has video of the crew fetching their bags in the airport, which mostly consists of people holding cardboard over the camera lens and a cloud of black umbrellas hiding someone who must be famous. But there's a flash of Miss J (Miss J, people!) going through customs or something.

With Talley on every episode, all you people who could never get into the show and only watched it on Oxygen those weekends Bravo was playing marathons of Shear Genius now have a reason to tune in every week — for at least the last twenty minutes. Cassius reports that they shot the CoverGirl challenge yesterday. We're curious whether they'll engage in any bungee jumping, canyon swinging, or other "miscellaneous madness" New Zealand is known for. We'd definitely tune in to watch Tyra tell some poor 19-year-old she has to go home because she failed to smile with her eyes while swinging across a canyon at 150 kilometers per hour suspended only by a rope. If she puts blackface makeup on a terribly sunburned white girl, we wouldn't put it past her.

Not always...

André Leon Talley is seldom seen underdressed, but at home he says he wears "Juicy Couture shorts, a Ralph Lauren polo shirt, and Uggs." He apparently started wearing Uggs two years ago. When asked if he wore Crocs, he replied, "What are Crocs?" When he realized they were the colorful plastic shoes Mario Batali wears, he said, "No! I draw the line at Uggs. It’s a cozy shoe. Also, they’re only $98. That’s the high and low."

That is a sight I do not wish to see.

Unless it has to do with a Tyra challenge and Mommy (me) has taken her "medicine"

Aretha needs a friend, someone to support her (and a bra), someone that will look at her and go....."awww hell no, that's not it!"

the best part of her outfit is the cons!

This shit is straight out of NATGEO channel. The polar bear is losing its habitat and so is 'retha.

She needs two full time midgets to take residence in her bra and hold up her cattle-sized teats.
