On last night's episode, Victoria's Secret Angel Marisa Miller taught the girls "Barbie toe," which is basically just wearing invisible high heels all the time. Sometimes it seems like the mentors on this show get "short" confused with "child." More » -

ANTM: "My Absolutely Favorite"
On last night's episode, Tyra stretched the definition of "supermodel" by introducing Jessica White as such. Jessica's credentials include spreads—not covers—in three different magazines. She seemed drunk with panel power as she told the contestants what to do. More » -

ANTM: Everybody Must Feel Stoned
Last night, Nicole was freaking out because Nigel told her that she talked like a "stoner." She slowly said, "I need to…figure that out." (Such a stoner response!) But the inanity of Tyra and co. makes everyone's minds feel altered. More » -

ANTM Recap Part 2: Frowning With Your Eyebrows
Makeovers already? On last night's premiere, the 14 finalists got their "Tyovers" right away, which disappointingly included very few weaves. Instead, invisible eyebrows are the theme this cycle. Maybe not having them makes the girls look taller? More » -
