- Oh, snap: Paulina Porizkova has been given the pink slip by Tyra and America’s Next Top Model! The ’80s supermodel told Craig Ferguson on the Late, Late Show:
“Listen, do you know why I am in Los Angeles? Because I am looking for a job. Because I was fired by America’s Next Top Model on my birthday.” (PP’s birthday was April 9.) She continued: “The reason I was told I was fired was because, it seemed, that America’s Next Top Model has gotten too fat and they needed to cut some fat and the fat was me. So I figured it was either that or my gigantic huge ego. Which I wasn’t aware of until I was told by the producers that I have an ego problem.” Will Twiggy come back? Or will the show just have Ms. J, Nigel and Tyra as judges? [E!]
