Though runways are getting increasingly more diverse every season, the same progress seemingly isn’t being made backstage.
Model Londone Myers called attention to the different treatment she received at Paris Fashion Week in an Instagram post. In the time-lapse video, stylists buzz around models getting ready for the show while Myers sits in the hair and makeup chair, apparently ignored by the backstage glam squad.
“I don’t need special treatment from anyone. What I need is for hairstylists to learn how to do black hair,” she captioned the post. “I’m so tired of people avoiding doing my hair at shows.

I cannot believe the day is finally here and we can escape from this atrocious cycle of America's Next Top Model: All Stars. The final three are about as different as can be and at this point I'm really not sure who will win or who I ultimately even want to win. Allison is obviously my favorite model thanks to her ability to take great pictures in almost every situation and her personality not making me want to punch her in the face. I might not want Allison to win though because I would worry it would hold her back from being a bigger, more successful model. Lisa still gets on my nerves when she trash talks or makes things uncomfortable. But I've got to hand it to her — she's been taking great pictures this season, has stepped up to the plate on every challenge and would fit in...

On the "America's Next Top Model" all stars cycle finale, it came down to Lisa D'Amato, Allison Harvard and Angelea Preston. So who took the crown?
After an unusual panel where the judges informed us that Angelea had been disqualified (we talk about why here), Allison and Lisa were the final two, with Lisa being declared the winner.
Let's see how we got there ...
The episode starts off with each girl talking about their journey, blahblahblah sad story cakes. Let's get to the crazy challenge and photoshoot.
The Cover Girl print ad and commercial
This is always a hilarious trainwreck. Lisa's print shoot is really pretty, her eye makeup is crazy and looks awesome. Her commercial lines are actually pretty solid, except for a weird "oh yes" line, but honestly, that's the bad writing. It's a clunky line.
Allison's print shoot is kind of bland, but her eyes,...

Welcome back from Thanksgiving break my darlings! The ladies are still in Greece and it looks like this week's episode is going to be filled with a lot of creepiness, yelling, crying and, as per usual, ridiculousness.
Tyra is going to have the girls be part of a "fashion film" based on her book, Modelland, which Lisa says is going to be "epic." I'm at the point right now when if one of the models says they're going to be a part of something "epic," I prepare myself for the worst.
Speaking of the worst, Angelea reminds us that she's still there while Dominique was sent packing after the previous challenge. She admits that she was surprised Dominique was the one sent home but that she was a hater. We're then treated to a montage of Angelea's emotional breakdown.
As if she were watching the same recap clip, Lisa...

We're down to our final four on America's Next Top Model: All Stars (where has this cycle gone?!) and the pressure is most definitely mounting. First up is the regular reflection on what happened last week. Angelea admits she never thought Dominique would get sent home and seems to still be smarting from the girls' comments about her last week. Lisa, meanwhile, thinks that Angelea's emotional outbursts aren't going anywhere and suggests that it's become "survival of the fittest" and she's "going the distance". Laura's still on a high after her first photo finish ("I feel like I'm back!") and tells us how important it is for her reaching this stage on the All Stars cycle: "This doesn't happen to people where I come from. You better bet I actually have the strength and confidence to be (more)...

America's Next Top Model: All-Stars 17.12 "Tyson Beckford" Review
Cycle 17 of Top Model has thus far been on the wrong side of the crazy train, backing away from the show's so-bad-its-perfect typical formula and going for a we're-vaguely-trying-and-failing-miserably bland of dull desperation that simply won't do. Top Model is nothing with out a little looniness and in continuing the charade that dressing like Snooki and eating a hot dog freely will gain you fame and fortune, cycle 17 has lacked the fun that earlier cycles exuded in spades.
But tonight, y'all...tonight was something else, to say the least. In my years of watching Top Model, I've never been as dumbfounded as I was watching whatever that motion editorial was. Awkward laughter, wide eyes, a few "what the hell"s - every time Allison dressed like a cat or Lisa held a baby doll or Laura ate whipped cream too sexily,...

If Tyra was looking for an positive, multi-faceted model ambassador to represent her as the winner of America's Next Top Model: All-Stars ... well, she passed over a solid candidate in cycle 10's Dominique Reighard.
Of all the models I've spoken to after their eliminations this cycle, Dominique was far and away the happiest and most grateful. Her mission in returning for All-Stars, she told me, was to "be remembered for [her] sheer talent and [her] optimistic attitude toward life," and that meant rolling with the punches, whether by singing a song, posing in a silly photo shoot or taking criticism from the judges.
And now Dominique's "On Top of the World" with her brand new music video, which features, among other scenes, her posing nearly nude in a swiveling egg chair. This is the model Tyra eliminated this week for being "forgettable"?
Taking that elimination in stride was just part...

We're back in Greece and Dominique is psyched to be the dark horse in the competition. She says that while she misses her children — who are absolutely adorable — she's doing this for them and hopes to bring home the All Star title.
Wait, I take back my previous statement about the location of the models. Some of the girls are in Greece and Angelea is still stuck on Get A Clue Island. She's so confused about why she keeps getting stuck in the bottom two while Dominique hasn't been there once. She also insists that Dominique is not an All Star. Homegirl needs to get her eyes checked and take a look at their pictures again. She also needs to listen to all of the previous comments from the judges because they keep waiting for her to be great on camera. I'm fed up with her nonstop boasting when she's...

We're down to the Top 5 on America's Next Top Model so the pressure is really on. Dominique thinks she is the dark horse because a lot of the others didn't think she would be here. Angelea privately agrees, saying that she thinks she is stronger than Dominique and doesn't get "all-star" from her. Laura thinks Angelea needs to gain confidence and says that she is very guarded, while Lisa calls Allison her toughest competition despite her personal opinion that she looks dead. First up this week is a potentially explosive challenge overseen by Miss J. The girls have to judge each other on their walks, portfolios and overall star quality, which predictably ends in fireworks when Miss J quizzes everyone on who they think should be leaving the competition this week. Laura refuses to answer, as does Allison and Lisa, but Dominique decides that honesty (more)...

It’s getting down to the wire! With just five girls left in the house, tensions were running high for all involved in "Exploring Greece." When Mr. Jay announced that the girls had to critique one another for the challenge, you could just feel that fuse burning.
Sure enough, Angelea thew a fit when Dominique passionately announced that the former was the weakest link in the house. It probably came as a shock to Angelea because all the girls (making history of Antm) magnanimously announced that no one is less deserving than anyone else.
Although Dominique and sweet Laura attempted to help Angelea, she stormed out and was coaxed back only by Mr. Jay. Maybe it’s because I adore Laura and she seemed genuine, but I thought Angelea completely overreacted. Does anyone think that girls were simply trying to throw her off her game?
I’m loving the change of venue so far,...

America's Next Top Model: All-Stars 17.10 "Exploring Greece" Review
So...we're all in agreement that Angelea is winning this thing, right?
A pre-ordained win has to be the only explanation for the outcome of "Exploring Greece", which saw 716 dispatch Dominique to move into the top 4, because if the judges genuinely think that Angelea is emotionally ready/talented enough to handle the rigors of winning Top Model: Rednecks, Party Girls, Chickenheads, and Allison, they are more out of touch than I realized. I don't have anything against Angelea, per se, in that I understand that her big personality, emotional backstory, and passable portfolio make for good reality TV. I laugh at her one-liners and appreciate how uninhibited she seems to be, but there is no way in the world that she deserved to stay tonight. Dominique took better pictures, had a better runway walk, was more professional in her attitude/personal style,...

We start out back from judging and the "America's Next Top Model" girls are apparently turning into catty monsters (like they haven't been already, right?). Angelea can't believe she's been in the Bottom 2 and Dominique hasn't. Lisa thinks her biggest competition is Allison - "She blinks and [the judges] freak out ... I think she looks like she's, like, dead."
Nice, ladies.
Challenge
The challenge has them critiquing each other. There is not a lot of constructive criticism, mostly just random I-don't-like-this stuff, with no real reasoning behind it. But Then. Miss Jay asks them to say who doesn't deserve to be there. Laura, Allison and Lisa all take the Miss Congeniality route and say there is no one who doesn't deserve to be there. Dominique then busts out that Angelea is lacking in confidence and isn't owning her all-star-ness. It's actually a nice speech about how Dominique sees potential in Angelea and thinks she can give more.

In a challenge absolutely designed to create conflict among the remaining contestants on 'America's Next Top Model' (Wed., 9Pm Et on The CW), the girls were asked to critique one another, and even decide which of them really shouldn't be on the show anymore.
When Dominique singled out Angelea for that latter honor, she immediately went on the defensive. Laura tried to explain to her that they all love her and think she's wonderful, just lacking in self-belief, but Angelea wasn't hearing any of it.

The pair are currently competing in the All Stars cycle of The CW modeling competition, and both reached the top five this week following a Greek salad-inspired photo shoot in Crete. On the previous week's show, each of the remaining models had to write and record a song and star in an accompanying music video to be judged by rapper The Game.

America's Next Top Model: All-Stars 17.09 "Nikos Papadopolous" Review
America's Next Top Model: All-Stars seemingly turned a corner last week with its music video extravaganza, which was on the right side of the show's self-aware campiness and provided a surprising amount of listenable tunes. (Confession: I've caught myself singing "I Be Like Whoa" multiple times since the episode aired.) I've managed to stick with the all-star cycle through awful challenges, incoherent judging, and an array of mixed messages about what this season was actually about (spoiler alert: not modeling), so in the back of my mind, I thought this would be the point where the show really ramped up.
Apparently I haven't been paying attention to the last 16 cycles of Top Model, as All-Stars reverted right back to the foolishness the second the girls headed to Greece. One would think that the show would capitalize on the scenic beaches...

We're here, "America's Next Top Model" fans. The newest cycle and probably the one we've most been looking forward to - all-stars. After a terrifying open where Tyra is apparently being haunted by the past contestants, we meet our girls:
Shannon Stewart (Cycle 1), Camille McDonald (Cycle 2), Brittany Brower (Cycle 4), Lisa D'Amato (Cycle 5), Bre Scullark (Cycle 5), Bianca Golden (Cycle 9), Dominique Reighard (Cycle 10), Isis King (Cycle 11), Sheena Sakai (Cycle 11), Allison Harvard (Cycle 12), Laura Kirkpatrick (Cycle 13), Angelea Preston (Cycle 14), Kayla Ferrel (Cycle 15) and Alexandria Everett (Cycle 16).
Here is our photo gallery if you want to check out the all-star ladies.
I'll have to confess - Cycle 7 was the first one I watched, so the girls from prior to that one are new to me. I apologize if I don't know what they're all about right away. But let's get to it!

To prepare ourselves for the crazy, perhaps catastrophic premiere of America's Next Top Model: All Stars, let's familiarize ourselves with the contestants. We know a lot about these ladies from their time on the show, but what have they accomplished since then? What mysterious mystical force convinced them to take another shot at the much-coveted and often laughed-at title? Was it Tyra?
Some of these questions will be answered throughout this week, when we take a look back at the lives of these All-Star contestants. We'll also highlight a few of their best moments on America's Next Top Model.
Let's get to know more about the dark horse of this Cycle, the androgynous and fierce Dominique Reighard.

When "America's Next Top Model" announced that the next cycle would be an "All-Stars" round, we couldn't be more pleased. In fact, we wondered what took so long?
The show taped a fashion show in Los Angeles on Wednesday (May 11) with all the judges and, hello, the models who are returning to battle it out for what they believed was theirs in the first place.
We're most surprised that delusional, but hilarious Jade Rodan from Cycle 6 wasn't included. And we're sad to see that they've invited "Why the long face?" Alexandria Everett from the current Cycle as she was extremely annoying and we haven't been able to enjoy her elimination long enough.
Who are we excited to see again? We thought Cycle 11's transgender contestant Isis King could stand another chance. And we're happy we'll be able to see if farm girl Laura Kirkpatrick has become worldlier since Cycle 13. And finally,...

There are so many reasons to thank you, Ty-Ty. You’ve provided us with reality ridiculata for 16 straight cycles. You call them cycles. And you created an “all-star” cycle inviting back previous “models” who will once again fight to “win” the title of America’s Next Top “Model.” I simply cannot wait to watch these “human beings”! But I have another reason to thank you: According to the all-stars line-up circulating the Web, you actually recruited some of my suggested alums! (Though The CW is not making any announcements yet.) That’s right: Cycle 4′s Brittany Brower, Cycle 5′s Lisa D’Amato,...

When we prepared ourselves to speak with Houston's Dominique Waldrup, the last eliminated model on "America's Next Top Model," we had no idea what we were in for. It's clear she doesn't look back fondly on her experience.
"Yes, it's reality TV," Dominique tells Zap2it. "But I feel like there's two sides to reality TV. There's one when you're watching and you think this is all happening to them. But, when you're in it, it's reality to a certain extent. People don't see the production part."
The 23-year-old was very willing to enlighten us on the production side of things, the lack of direction she got and how she feels she forced the show to eliminate her.
Here are the juiciest bits from our conversation:
On her overall impression of the show: "I kind of felt like we were there just for the ratings. I felt like they didn't really care about us.

I’d like to start off this review over Wednesday’s fantastic episode of Top Model with a moment of silence for Alexandria’s dearly departed roots.
...
Okay, are you guys ready to soldier on?
Apparently Top Model has up and decided to become a pretty legit modeling competition because “Lori Goldstein” packed everything I love about the show into a fun hour of television. It was makeovers galore and while there wasn’t an ice blonde or nervous breakdown in sight, it was nice to really see who’ll be in the running for the rest of the season. The best makeovers (courtesy of Laurent D.) were Brittani’s Dutch Boy (at first it looked a little wiggy but it read beautifully elsewhere), Jaclyn’s grown-up Selena Gomez bed of curls, and the discovery that Hannah is actually Blake Lively (yowza!), with Dominique’s Rihanna inspired weave also significantly improving her appearance.

This isn't the first time that Tyra and her judging panel have sent home an America's Next Top Model contestant because they felt she had "walked away" from the competition during the competition. Besides critiques about "sitting on" one's natural talents or looking "too commercial," it might be the most common reason Tyra uses to send a model packing. After all, the second rule of Top Model (after the height requirement) is that you have to want it.
Most eliminated Top Model contestants will tell you that they did want it, but, for whatever reason, that passion "didn't shine through" or the judges "didn't get a chance" to know them. And most of them are probably telling the truth as they see it. But Dominique, the outgoing freckled beauty from Houston who was sent home this week after a couture group photo shoot gone wrong, is one of the few...

Hindsight is 20/20.
It’s the second week in a row that Antm has mentioned John Galliano. Obviously, it was filmed before the Galliano fallout, but still, I’m surprised producers haven’t cut offending remarks about praise to him. In actual show news, the girls finally meltdown at their impending makeover doom, and inevitable drama ensues! Let’s break it down.
The Makeover:
It’s makeover time... dum dum dum! The girls get an extra dose of anxiety when Tyra sends them a little preview of the makeovers they will be getting without specifying who will be subjected to which makeover. The girls freak out over “manly” and “short Dutch boy” and, really, who wants to be a short Dutch (female) boy?
Brittany does! And she looks fabulous, too! Miss J freaks out over poor, sweet Jaclyn by threatening her with a razor, although she takes it in stride. Psyche!

We're bothered with "America's Next Top Model" right now. You'd think after the past 15 cycles, we would have learned that in modeling, as in life, things aren't always fair. And good things happen to bad people and vice versa. But, we're not sure tonight's judging results should serve as a lesson for anyone.
If Tyra Banks hopes to create successful models who are also role models for girls, then she failed this week.
First of all, Alexandria makes our blood boil. In this episode, she terrorized the whole house, spoke to the makeover stylists like they work for her and she's all around a horrible person to be around with when she isn't happy. Hell, she's pretty much horrible to be around with when she's happy. In fact, we think there's a reason guest judge, stylist Lori Goldstein, made it a point to bring up Alexandria's diva attitude during the shoot several times.

It’s a whole new season of America’s Next Top Model, as viewers were taken to Tyra Land last night.
While every cycle’s has some strange Tyra moments, the start to Cycle 16 was almost like a parody of Antm, with the girls acting as a platform for Banks to perform. By cutting out casting, Tyra got a chance to mock the wannabe models, which was amusing, spot-on and incredibly self-serving.
Best Tyra line: “I’m not a cookie cutter. I cut the cookies. And I will cut you."
America's Next Top Model Intro
Tyra also decided to switch things up by fooling the contestants who were picked and pretending to send them home; it seemed like a good idea in theory, but what about the models who thought they were picked but really were eliminated? That seems like a pretty traumatizing trick!
Oh, and Tyra? Pictures of yourself...

Tonight's season premiere of America's Next Top Model opens with a very funny sequence featuring Tyra spoofing various stereotypical contestants (check out the video here), before telling us that she's going to pull an Ashton Kutcher and "punk" this cycle's new batch of hopefuls. The plan is to tell the girls they haven't made it to the next round before revealing that they actually have. "We felt it was time to get real," says Tyra. "The first order of business is rejection." But before that happens, we're introduced to the 14 models who will be battling for the coveted prizes this cycle. They are (in Tyra's words): freckle-faced Dominique, fiercely-real Kasia, petit Ondrei, feisty blonde Alexandria, sexy mama Monique, elegant Nicole, quirky Sara, hippy Hannah, golden-haired Molly, baby-faced Jaclyn, Brittani from the (more)...

Tyra Banks wasted no time in schooling this Cycle's contestants for the harsh world of modeling in the "America's Next Top Model" Cycle 16 premiere.
The "smizing" queen decided to skip the casting special altogether. Why? Because she can. Of course, that was just a show of her power. The show of her crazy really comes in when she decides to not only impersonate Ashton Kutcher (achieved by simply putting a trucker hat on - we must remember that for Halloween) and punking the girls into thinking they didn't make it. We do have to give the TyTy credit for throwing the girls' bags in a pile on the floor. Nice touch.
If you feel that was mean, what about the girls who were initially told they made it only to have Mr. and Miss J. walk them out to the backyard and tell them not to let the gate hit...

I love the smell of an invisible wind machine in the morning.
Top Model is back, you guys! TV just got a little crazier and I could not be happier. The premiere of the 16th cycle of the show was as frenetic and weird as we’ve come to expect, thanks to a few eye opening twists and another Wipeout-esque challenge that wasn’t as inherently dangerous as past debacles.
I felt a little bad about the ultimate fake out Tyra gave the girls in the fast forwarded (for us) “casting special”; I know that the lesson was there (in modeling, you have to get used to rejection), but taking the rug out from the “other” girls was a little mean and seemed to have been done only to produce a raucous reaction from the top 14. In a way, I’m glad that the contestants that got cut weren’t shown finding out the news,...

First off, please allow me to apologize for my tardiness in bringing you this recap. I was jet-lagged from my commercial flight. Now that that's out of the way... Last night's episode was the episode that every Antm viewer breathlessly awaits in every cycle (after the go-see episode, the Cover Girl commercial episode, and the makeover episode, of course): the Tyra As Photographer episode. How much mandatory enthusiasm would her entrance wring from the weary contestants? (Many shrieks, and at least one Dominique babbling session.) Which idiotic "photographer-y" things would she say to them in terms of direction? ("You're like 'ungh!' Be a little more "humph!") How many pillows would she prop herself up on while rolling around on the ground pretending to be a photographer? (From the looks of it, at least eight.) Would she pirouette holding a camera for some reason? (Yes.) It's always very...
