ANTM: And The Plus-Size Girl Takes The Cake!
Despite conspiracy theories, underminers, and the fact that some of us thought Anya was actually the better model, we're damned proud of Whitney Thompson and the fact that a plus-size girl finally took the title on ANTM. (Of course, the show is not even close to a true representation of the real modeling industry.) There was something really telling in Paulina's commentary during judging when she said, "Whitney is the one that a man would want in his bedroom, but Anya is the one that you would buy the dress from." The fashion industry is fucked up. Or maybe we're all fucked up. Or maybe we need to stop letting curve-hating gay men tell us how we should look!Earlier: ANTM Finale Live Blog: Arrivederci Cycle 10

Congrats to ANTM Cycle 10 winner Whitney Thompson! She's the first plus-size woman to win the the grand prize in Top. Model. History. But our girl is going to need a skin thicker than her (normal-sized) waistline, especially after one observant reader pointed out that her Wikipedia page was hacked last night by someone taking cheap shots at her body.

ANTM Finale Live Blog: Arrivederci Cycle 10
ANTM finales are always bittersweet because we've been working up to this moment all cycle, but then that means that we won't have this ridiculousness that we love to laugh at next week. As far as winners go, I'm rooting for Anya, because the girl can't take a bad picture, and because she seems like a really genuinely nice person. But more than anything, I'd love to hear her try and talk her way through her visits to factories/Walmarts in the "My Life as a Cover Girl" spots. More »

So who's gonna take it tonight on Top Model? The plus-size girl, the foreign girl, or the girl who sounds like a foreign girl? We're gonna be live blogging, so watch the dramz unfold with us. (8 PM EST.)

Tonight is the finale of ANTM Cycle 10. (Sad!) ONTD has a great picture post showing what girls from different cycles have been up to (including Cycle 8's Whitney, Cycle 10's Claire, Cycle 7's Anchal, and Cycle 6's Jade, among others). But the woman who stuck out the most was Cycle 10's Whitney, the plus-size model who is in the final three competing for the top spot tonight. It's unclear if these shots of Whitney are recent, but if they are, girlfriend has lost a ton of weight. More depressing evidence that thinness = success? (Click on image for more shots.) [ONTD]

ANTM: Our Hearts Are As Empty As The Space Where Dominique's Tooth Used To Be
Who would've thought that Dominique would've made it this far in the competition? And who would've thought we'd be so sad to see her go? At first, her bravado was annoying, and her severe aesthetic was a little off-putting. But when it comes down to it, she possessed all the requirements necessary for an enjoyable season of Top Model — ridiculousness, drag queen-ness, and a completely inflated sense of self, to the point of delusion — and managed to up the ante with those, which is no small feat, considering the parties involved.

ANTM: Tyra Snaps...Photos
You never really realize how awesome Tyra Banks makes ANTM until she participates in an episode beyond "panel" and she creates magic, like in this still right here. Actually, I love this still so much, that I've made it into desktop wallpaper that you can download. A picture is worth a thousand words, and seven of them are: Even Jay Manuel Thinks You're Too Gay. As for last night's episode, it's kinda crazy that Dominique is still in the competition, right? But it's great, because we get to hear her say things like, "This is a slap in the face to everyone in the world right now because no one else can say that Tyra took their picture." Uh, yeah, Dominique, except for the four other girls in the room with you. (And the countless other coozes who have been in this competition in the previous nine cycles.) Clip above.

Holy shit! It finally happened: Someone literally got stabby while watching Tyra Banks! A woman in Seattle had some friends over her house to drink beer and watch America's Next Top Model. One of her guests was talking too loudly, and after several attempts to shut the woman up, the host tried to kick her out of her apartment. The argument turned physical, replete with clumps of hair (we're secretly hoping it was a weave) being pulled out of scalps, until the host grabbed a paring knife from the kitchen and repeatedly stabbed the woman in the chest and neck. The victim is, thankfully, alive, and her attacker, as of last evening, is still at large. [Seattle PI]

ANTM: Dominique Is Missing A Tooth!?
It's kind of ridiculous that Dominique has lasted this long in the competition, especially after last night's episode when she gave that gaping, goofy smile that revealed her missing tooth. But the thing that makes ANTM so wonderful is ridiculousness, so we'd like to say to Dominique: play on, player. You're our favorite toothless single mom aspiring model — and we mean that. And how about that Paulie Cicero-type, pervy Italian guy the girls had to walk for? He gave the best put downs and back-handed compliments. He said that Dominique didn't look "fresh" (read: she's ah old ah mama mia). And he totally pulled the whole "such a pretty face" line with Whitney. (BTW, Whitney claims she's the only plus-size model who's made it this far in the competition, but we'd like to point out that she's incorrect, seeing as how Robin, from Cycle 1 made it to the top four and went to Paris.)

ANTM: Lauren Could Kick The Asses Of Any Of These Girls
Dude, Lauren is no bullshit. She really is just as tough as her leather jacket exterior. When she cut off the tip of her thumb making latkes on last night's episode, she didn't even cry. You'd think she was grimacing, but that was actually the tough-girl face she's normally making. Anyway, when she told the woman from Entertainment Tonight on the green carpet that she should be America's Next Top Model because she could "kick the shit out of any of these girls," she was dead serious — and dead on. And speaking of the green carpet, isn't it hilarious that Anya won another challenge where the reward was for her to pose naked? And only a week after the PTC filed an indecency complaintwith the FCC about her last nude shoot on the show! It was nice that she got a check for $10,000 from 7Up as well. (Tyra's been pretty stingy with the rewards in the past few cycles.) Clip above. More »

The Parents Television Council has filed an indecency complaint against complaint with the FCC about America's Next Top Model and the show's March 26 episode, in which contestant Anya modeled nude for Nigel Barker (as her reward for winning a challenge). The image to the left is a still taken from the episode and it's about as racy as the imagery got. Any other nudity was completely blurred out. However, PTC president Tim Winter said the show was "irresponsible" and "crossed the legal threshold for broadcast indecency." Whatevs. [TV Guide]

ANTM: Marvita Is Our Favorite Lezebel
Doesn't it always feel like we're robbed when Tyra springs a recap episode on us? I was totally excited to see if Fatima got deported and which one of Lauren's fingers got chopped off, as was promised in last week's "coming up" teaser. But no dice. However, the good thing about ANTM clip shows is that they include unaired footage of the inanity in the house, giving us a better glimpse at the girls' real personalities — particularly Marvita, who is a lot more awesome than editing had previously made her out to be. If I were living with 12 hot male models I wanted to bone, I'd probably behave the same way Marvita did in the ANTM house: Wrestle as foreplay, feel them up by giving massages, and show them my vagina.

ANTM: "H20 No You Deh'ent, Gurl!"
Lauren on America's Next Top Model is seriously awesome. She drinks 40s of OE, likes zombie movies, and is not a morning person...she's great! Over the past few weeks, she's really been letting her true colors shine, which means she's been screaming at the other girls with little to no provocation. On last night's episode, she called Fatima a "piece of shit" because Fatima asked her if she poured her coffee out. LOL! Clip above, and more after the jump. More »

Former ANTM Contestant Gets Closure With Tyra On Red Carpet
Okay, so first of all, The Tyra Show put on something called "The Fiercee Awards" (pronounced like fierce-ay), which was an awards show solely for former Top Model contestants. How the hell did we miss this!? Why weren't we invited!? (Wait, I can think of a reason or two.) Anyway, Kim Stolz, the lesbian from cycle 5, currently works for MTV news and she chose not to attend the awards, but to work the red carpet. Her run-in with Tyra is awesome. (She asks for Tyra's number and TyTy says no!) Clip above.
