Wow, way to be an old coot, Clint Eastwood. "Kids today are a bunch of spoiled brats! They don't know what The Greatest Generation went through!"

Also... Fantasia Barrino has fans??

"Why isn't anyone talking about the charity work and all of the charitable organizations that Carrie's involved in?"

Why doesn't SHE start talking about her charitable work? Does she do any? Who the hell would know; all she's done is whine about being a victim. But she's got that down to a T.

See, I thought "innate female qualities" were things like the ability to breastfeed. I didn't realize being fickle was on that list - thanks for clearing that up, Kristen.

Shut up Kristen Stewart. The only innate female quality I can think of is having two X chromosomes. Being fickle isn't a female quality. Also I think you meant feminine, because quality does not have a gender.

Well, I hope that Twilight hasn't completely sucked (pun intended) Chris Weitz's will to make movies; I loved About a Boy, In Good Company, and even American Pie. I hope he's got a few more good ones in him.

@JessaFields: My favorite part of the show is when they show the Seventeen cover prize. They show last cycle's winner on the magazine, and then within a second and a half, they immediately cover it up with a Seventeen cover with an actual celebrity. Even on their own show, no one cares. Makes me laugh every time. #kimoraleesimmonsamericasnextto...

@rodmanstreet: I joked about that the first time I noticed it but then I realized why they do it. Happen to notice that they're replacing it with the current issue of the mag? The ANTM issue comes out months before the show airs, at which point a different issue is on the stands. It has nothing to do with the caliber of the ANTM winner, but rather about advertisting which issue is currently for sale. #kimoraleesimmonsamericasnextto...

Kimora Lee Simmons is one of those people that I started out hating, but have, over time, grown to like. She would be a great addition to the panel as she does stage runway shows on a regular basis and knows models (and used to be one too). However, considering the track record for past judges, the only safe spots are for Tyra, her ego, and Nigel Barker. #kimoraleesimmonsamericasnextto...

@EkaterinaBallerina: I watched her reality show for 2 seconds (okay, hours) and she is really amazing with her kids. She makes them "earn" their privileges and she's so patient and loving--I just adore her for that. Plus, the woman has serious business acumen.

Edited to add: Totes agree with your last sentence. Tyra must have to buy a second seat for her ego when she flies.

No disrespect to Kimora and her accomplishments, but Baby Phat is by and large a parade of fug. I do remember her being an entertaining ANTM judge, though, way back in cycle 1. #kimoraleesimmonsamericasnextto...

It's not going to change the main problem with the show at this point, which is that it has failed to produce a legitimate "top model." #kimoraleesimmonsamericasnextto...

@hortense: None of the winners have had landmark success, but many of the contestants have gone on to successful careers in modeling. I noticed in recent seasons that they've been trying to highlight what past contestants have been up to. It's almost as if they are responding to their detractors by saying "See! We DO produce working models!"

However, you're right--none of them are "top models". But working models, yes. #kimoraleesimmonsamericasnextto...

@EkaterinaBallerina: I noticed last night, though, that one of the success stories looked incredibly suspect. They kept listing different places she's been working, while showing one series of photos that were for one particular brand throughout. Then they said "and she's modeled Gusto on the international runways!" or something like that, then invited us to enter a Cover Girl sweepstakes to win a free Gusto handbag (like they do every week). I don't think working two jobs, including one for a show sponsor, really works.

Mollie Sue, Tocorra, and Elyse have been really successful, but some have really gone hilariously bust. #kimoraleesimmonsamericasnextto...

@hortense: The modeling is just a means to an end, the end being a hilariously campy and fun reality show. They basically admitted fashion defeat with the short girl cycle. However, maybe that's why they're bringing in Kimora and ALT: an attempt to reclaim fashion legitimacy? #kimoraleesimmonsamericasnextto...

All they have to do is bring back Sutan and this sounds wonderful to me. Miss Jay has always been an obnoxious addition to panel and was best in small, actually helpful doses. But I thought ANTM was drastically cutting costs? I can't see how Kimora and ALT are going to come cheap. #kimoraleesimmonsamericasnextto...

@annebreal: I think they just wanted to get rid of Paulina and needed an excuse and a grace season to not piss her off. I never liked Miss Jay on panel, but I do like when he teaches the girls how to walk and mocks them. They should keep him for that sole purpose, and let some actual fashion big wigs judge. #kimoraleesimmonsamericasnextto...
