ANTM Finale: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz…
How boring was last night's ANTM finale? Seriously, worst top three since Tootie, Crooked Eye, and Crazy Teeth from Cycle 9. I guess I'm satisfied with McKey's win. She's the only girl out of any of them that if I saw her on the subway I'd be like, okay that's a model. She might actually get real work. I highly doubt we'll be seeing either Sam or Analeigh on "Top Models in Action" anytime soon. Anyway, what did you think of Tyra's elimination outfit? She seriously looked like a futuristic sadist. Which maybe isn't too far off the mark? Clip above, and one more thing after the jump. More » -

Tyra: Isis Faces Off With "Strong Christian" Clark
Yesterday, Isis, the transgendered contestant from America's Next Top Model Cycle 11 was on Tyra to discuss her experiences with gender identity disorder. As we mentioned before, Tyra surprised Isis with the opportunity to receive a free gender reassignment surgery. But before they got to that heartwarming moment, Clark, a contestant from Isis's ANTM cycle, sat down to discuss why she doesn't "agree" with Isis's "choice" of being transgender. (Spoiler alert: It has to do with her being "a southern Baptist, strong Christian.") To Isis's credit, she handled Clark's bigotry with grace. Later, Tyra called Clark out on the lesbian French kiss she had with Elina and asked her if her church would "agree" with that. Score one for TyTy! Clip above, and after the jump, check out how hot Isis's mother is. More » -

Doctors Often Overlook Asperger's Diagnosis In Girls
The stereotype of a person with Asperger's is often a socially awkward little boy with a gadget or train obsession. Because of this enduring stereotype, and because the disorder is 10 times more prevalent in boys and men, doctors often miss diagnosing Asperger's in girls because it manifests itself differently. According to Newsweek, doctors report "girls with Asperger's seem to have less motor impairment, a broader range of obsessive interests, and a stronger desire to connect with others, despite their social impairment." For instance, while boys with Asperger's may be into things like vacuum cleaners or oscillating fans, girls may be egregiously obsessed with horses or books. In addition, Aspie girls ( pictured above left) "are more adept at copying the behaviors, mannerisms and dress codes of those around them, than Aspie boys tend to be." More » -

Anand Jon, the fashion designer who appeared on early seasons of America's Next Top Model, was found guilty of rape today. According to TMZ, Jon is guilty of "16 counts of sexually abusing teenage girls and young women, including several counts of rape by force and lewd acts on a minor." He will be sentenced on January 13. • Jamie-Lynn Sigler is glad she did not have kids with her now ex-husband, A.J. DiScala. "I didn't know who I was. I was living in an idealistic dream world – like, 'I have a successful show and this handsome man, and I'm 22 and I'm getting married and may have a baby next year!'" Sigler says. However, she is mum about her relationship with Jerry "Turtle" Ferrara from Entourage. "[He] is a very special person, and I'll leave it there," she demurs. • Taylor Swift says that if you date her, you have to accept that she will be writing songs about your romance. "You know what, if they don't want me to write bad songs about them, they shouldn't do bad things," the lil' spitfire says.

ANTM: Girl Gone Mild
How typical were Tyra and the panel during Marjorie's dismissal on last night's ANTM? After weeks of "You're too nervous and jittery," Marjorie did what many young models do: She turned to substance abuse to feel more comfortable. The wine helped calm her tweaking, and the result was that the panel essentially told her that now she wasn't nervous enough. (Oh, and how much of a wet blanket/cock block was Annaleigh? Marjorie was only in the bathtub with that guy with her clothes on. The farthest they went was "an embrace.") Anyway, above is a tribute clip to Marjorie's awkwardness, which was eliminated from the competition only about 30 minutes before she was. More »
