TYRA BANKS ANTM CYCLE 12 PROMO PICS

Next week is the 2 hour premiere of the new cycle of America's Next Top Model - Wednesday 4th on CW. Here are some promo pic of the Host, what type of season do you think this will be?

Kelly Rowland to Host New Bravo Fashion Show

Kelly Rowland recently departed from Matthew Knowles management has landed a new host job with designer Isaac Mizrahi to host a new show on Bravo. The Fashion show on Bravo will be the replacement for Project Runway.

Do you think this is the right move for Kelly? Or should she stay within the music industry?

I think that if the show is good, getting national exposure on a hit show can make your career (or re-make in her case) but if it's  not so good, at least she can go back to music...nothing ventured nothing gained.. Go Kelly!!

The CW has announced that it has bumped the premiere of the new season of Top Model back a week. Instead of premiering on February 25 as previously announced, Top Model’s new season will now debut on Wednesday, March 4 at 8PM ET/PT.

TV | Vanessa & Angela Simmons "Daddy's Girls" Premiere MTV

 After four years of living under father Rev. Run's roof, Angela and Vanessa Simmons are moving out and starring in their own MTV Reality show, Daddy's Girls.

Starting in January, America will get to watch Rev Run's daughters leave New York for good and begin their new lives in Los Angeles.

Early seasons of "Run's House" showed Vanessa pursing a career as a model/actress while little sister Angela enrolled in fashion school before starting her own magazine, Angela's Rundown. Eventually, they put their heads together and developed Pastry, a well received female footwear collection.

They've since added apparel and handbags to the line and now the girls are eyeing a retail location in LA. Daddy's Girls will chronicle their move to the West Coast where they'll work, play and live with their cousin Jessica and a new friend named Aliceia.

Daddy's Girls premieres on January 5th at 10:30pm.

AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL TO BE RENEWED ON THE CW

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - It looks like "America's Next Top Model" will be back on the catwalk next season.

The CW is close to renewing the Tyra Banks-hosted reality competition series for a 13th cycle to air in fall 2009.

The news comes on the heels of the CW inking a deal with Warner Bros. Domestic TV Distribution to air Banks' daytime talk show, "The Tyra Banks Show," as an afternoon strip starting next fall.

The Cycle 11 finale of "Top Model" (4.8 million total viewers, 2.3 rating/7 share in adults 18-49), which aired Wednesday, was up 21 percent from the previous week to a season-high rating and also marked the show's largest audience since last year's finale. The show also ranked first in the 8-9 p.m. hour among adults 18-34 (2.8/9). Cycle 12 of "Top Model" will air in the spring.

The Game Season 3 Ep 3

I love this show and it gets better and better, the only thing is i think it should be longer but lets just be thankful that its still around (unlike Girlfirends which was good and cancelled). Tasha finally lets down the power wall and lets Rick wear the pants in the relationship after he 'humilates' her at the office following her plan to not let anyone think they are in a relationship. Malik and Robin keep their marriage going for publicity. Derwin has still got baby problems on his mind so... he's not 'performing' but  he and Mel work it out. I'm thinking that after a couple of episodes there will be no baby dramas and they go back to normal or get married, what do you think?

Danity Kane Become 3 x Will They Make It?

 Its news that has been around for a while, but Danity Kane is Officially 3. It worked for Destiny's Child and im sure Diddy & the remaining girls will make it work for them. Its natural when one or two people are out of sync that much that the group wont work, so i think that its a good idea that D Woods & Aubrey are gone. I think blaming bloggers and press for what they say about you ....let's just so there's no smoke withiut fire. No one is calling Rihanna any of those names, maybe because she focuses on what she wants to do , thinks about her image and does things in accordance to that. Aubrey does near x-rated shots in magazines and talks a certain way and wonders why she gets the reaction she does. I think she knows what she has done and why she did it. I also think Diddy was right about DWoods and Aubrey their attitudes and egos are crazy and Diddy knows he himself has confessed to going down because of such a big ego. So i think the remaining girls will succeed because they will stay humble, appreciate the oppertunity that they have been given and be the best they can be.

X Factor Live Final 12 x Who was your pick????

X Factor (UK) is big...in the UK and is also at the top of the YouTube video's so i wanted to know what was your top pick of the night.
My thoughts were (keeping with the positive swing) that it was mos def Ladies night in the form of the under 25's. I thought my top pick was going to be Laura but it was actually a pick between Diana and Alexandra. Diana because it was a good song choice for her, and she did it with her own style and Alexandra because she performed, you would actually pay to watch her perform as of now and this is the first week. I thought Austin was good on the male side but he looked a little...desperate and too put together. I think the youtube vote goes to Diana but dancing and singing like that is not easy and she did it well so for this week i'm going with Alexandra. 
My prediction to win??? I think any of the under 25 girls could be successful in their own right as they all have different styles so i think Laura or Alexandra or even JLS (boy band) if they get things right. I do think Diana will be a successful recording artist but for the show im not sure that she will have the versatility of my other three picks....but at this stage who knows?

Check out her performance below and after the click Diana and Austin's

TV Catch Up x The Game x Ugly Betty x ANTM 11 x Gossip Girl x Project Runway

TV Round Up x Kim Kardashian's Dancing Day's are Over!!

On the hit US TV show Dancing with The Stars Kim failed to make a good impression as one judge said of her performance "colder and more distant than Siberia".. WOW. her close friends have said that Kim is inconsolable at exiting the show so early. I think she was hoping to stick it out a little further and make a name for herself off of her success of the show, not just famous for doing nothing.

Russell Simmons - Do You

One of my favourite books that i read last year & this year was the New York Times Best Seller, Do You! 12 Laws To Access The Power In You To Achieve Happiness & Success  by Russell Simmons. Although not saying anything different from what most other spiritual / self help books say, he admits it and confesses that this is a reminder. It appeals to a new range of people who can sometimes real ousted by the spiritual jargon. He includes examples of hip-hop industry, clothing industry and other personalities to make a better connection with the reader.

Check out Russell talking about his book at Bernard's Book Shelf

Project Runway 5 Finalist Runway Show **Spoiler Alert**

The wonderful retrogirl at nitrolicious.com has great access to the fashion world and has been at NY fashion week, she has footage of the Project Runway finalist runway shows. I put the footage after the jump just in case you want to wait for the show next week but if your tempted go ahead. I myself am contemplating whether or not to watch.... sad, i know.

Favorite TV Show's Round- Up

This is a round up of all my favorite shows i have watched this week. FYI as i'm in the UK i watch most of the current US Shows online because i just can't wait.... or don't want to.

Project Runway Season 5 -  Quite a shock that two people went home, but then not really as NY fashion week is this week so they had to get the competition moving. I think it was time for Blayne to go home but too bad Terri was paired with Keith who was still very bitter about his elimination also I'm loving that Jerrell finally won a challenge. As of now i think the final three should be Jerrell, Korto and Leanne, what do you think??

New Chick Flick Alert: The Women

A wealthy New Yorker leaves her cheating husband and bonds with other society women at a resort. A remake of George Cukor's 1939 film "The Women."

Its released tomorrow Friday 12th so check it out!!

America's Next Top Model Cycle 11 Premier

    So how did everyone like the first two episodes of cycle 11, its quite an accomplishment 11 cycles in 5 years. I had to wait for the youtube upload but now i have caught up and at first i thought (like most on youtube) that the futuristic gimmick was a little corny but i thought they picked the right girls and the first photshoot 'Voting is Sexy' was good.

I thought that some of the girls were overly mean to Isis and i can see a case of bitchiness happening her, but she showed them by having a hot photo shoot. The other talk was, does she deserve to be there? I think she does because she seems very genuine and good at what she wants to become....a top model.

In all i think this season should be hot!! Its so interesting how people's personalities are already changing from the casting..... the most 'confident' girl was eliminated first!!!

I wonder how early they'll do the make over's??? They all need one pretty bad so i hope its next week!!

A lil bit more Gossip anyone???

The new season of Gossip Girl starts this Monday on CW in USA for the rest of us im sure we can catch it on our local stations soon enough or 'online'
