Tyra: Woman's Parents Don't "Agree" With Her Homosexuality
Yesterday Tyra interviewed a lesbian, named Juliana, who was about to get married, plus, her family who refuse to go to the wedding because they don't agree with with the fact that she's gay. I've never really understood people who say they don't "agree" with the way that certain people are born. Juliana's mother and stepfather kept saying things like, "Being gay is wrong. We just wish that she would make the right choice for herself." What they really meant was, "I just wish that she would make the right choice for me." In the end, Juliana's parents went to her wedding, although her mother said on her wedding video that she was "very sad." Clip above. -

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 » -

Daughter Of Bikini Waxing, Creepy Dad Featured On Cathouse
Remember "Summer," the 18-year-old Tyra guest whose dad not only used to give bikini waxes, but persuaded to go into prostitution (which she later confessed to hating)? Well, HBO recently ran a the Moonlight Bunny Ranch called Cathouse: Menage, and Summer (whose real name is Christina) was featured in it, performing a three-way and discussing how she hates being picked on by the other women. Apparently, the others think she's sleeping with brothel owner Dennis Hoff because she was given a coveted sun room at the Ranch. Airforce Amy wonders if Summer's agent, aka her dad, fucked Dennis to get the room for her, implying that her dad is gay. Clip above. More » -

Sex Workers Go At It On Tyra
Today, Tyra featured an issue that I've thought a lot about and haven't heard many mainstream people discuss: How different women in different aspects of the sex industry view one another. It's always seemed odd that women in such a controversial line of work would even bother to be judgmental of what the next person does, but there's a silent hierarchy that exists within the sex industry, e.g., topless models look down on girls who go bottomless, girls who go bottomless look down on girls who strip, strippers look down on porn stars, porn stars look down on hookers, etc. During the episode, Tyra had the women rank one another in order from most respectable to least respectable, and obvs, hilarity ensued. Clip above. -

You Wanna Be On Top
In keeping with her campaign of likening herself to Oprah by giving people expensive things and making their dreams come true, Tyra Banks will be surprising Isis (the transgendercontestant from ANTM) with an all-expenses-paid sex reassignment surgery on her show tomorrow. [Us]

ANTM: Farewell, Fashion Monster
I loved it so much when Tyra was trying to evoke any kind of emotion out of Elina on last night's episode of America's Next Top Model, and she told her to be a "fashion monster," because Rich has been talking about Elina's hands for a while now, likening them to My Pet Monster. But what I loved even more was when Elina said, "When you guys ask me to be 'crazy,' to be honest with you, I have no idea what to do." Because that sentiment speaks volumes about this show. The panel is constantly fucking with these girls so much, telling them that they need to be this but not too much of that, all the while, acting like wild banshees on a cocktail of ego and and Cover Girl fumes. -

House Party Punks Trash Former Top Models' Apartment
On yesterday's edition of Modelville — "the reality show within the Tyra show" in which former Top Model contestants compete for a Carol's Daughter spokeswoman gig — the girls decided to throw a house party to show off their fancy schmancy Manhattan penthouse. Everything was going swimmingly until Lauren, the punk from Cycle 10, invited her crazy punk friends over and things went down the crapper. The other girls (apart from Fatima) were irked by the multi-colored haired, leather-clad guests, and were afraid that things would get stolen from the house. After Bianca heard her curling iron fall off the sink, she freaked out and wouldn't let anyone use the bathroom. This made the punks retaliate and throw a "riot" that looked like something from a scene in A Clockwork Orange, complete with a top hat. Clip above. More » -

Tyra: Woman Auctioning Off Her Virginity Says It Is A Feminist Act
Natalie Dylan, the 22-year-old woman auctioning off her virginity through the Moonlight Bunny Ranch brothel in Nevada, was on Tyra today. (She's had 5,000 bidders, with the highest bid so far being $3.8 million.) Automatically, when reading the headlines about Natalie, the initial reaction would be that she's in it for the money, or that she's just a liar out to get some attention. This speaks volumes about the way our society thinks about women's sexuality, and that's exactly why Natalie has chosen to go on this journey. She's a feminist, working on her master's thesis on the dichotomous nature between virginity and prostitution. So does this make Natalie the first official virgin/whore? She explains her experiment in the clip above, and answers Tyra's stupid questions after the jump. More »
