Last night's episode featured the long-awaited showdown between Danielle and Teresa, which escalated into an all out rubber-necking, hair-pulling, heel-breaking, coke-whore-calling, cops-arriving flurry of chinchilla and hair weave. As one bystander aptly remarked, it was "such fucking bullshit." More »

Here, we look back at her contribution to society. More »

After five seasons, she leaves behind a legacy of hair weaves, fathers who bikini wax daughters, interviews with presidential candidates, and general buffoonery. Here, we compile our 10 favorite moments. More »

Brandi Irwin is five foot eleven and a former model-turned-foot model. She has the word "Posh" tattooed on her knuckles. And she spends $47,000 a year on her hair. How? Why?! More »

Today on Oprah, Chris Rock discussed his documentary Good Hair, which investigates how black women treat—and feel about—their hair. He tried to explain weaves to white viewers, but they already learned all about that from Tyra and ANTM. More »

For the premiere of the fifth season of her talk show today, Tyra wore her real hair. Then she sat down to interview Perez Hilton and pretended like she doesn't read his site or hate his guts. More »

In today's New York Times, Catherine Saint Louis attempts to get to the root of the politics surrounding black hair. She touches on "good hair," the "creamy crack," Malia Obama's twists and Chris Rock's new documentary. She writes: More »

"No matter which angle you dissect this little thirty second spot from, only one conclusion is possible; the purposeful exposure of the so-called desperate ignorance of Black women." Also, does the ad pit blacks against Eastern Europeans? [Womanist Musings, Racialicious] More »

Taking a cue from Chris Rock's documentary Good Hair, today's Tyra examined how black women — including little girls — feel about their hair, and the (at times painful) lengths they go to alter it. More »

The CW posted a bunch of video clips of America's Next Top Model Cycle 11—which premieres in just two weeks—as a way for us to get to know the girls. But it was hard to concentrate on the girls at all because Jay Manuel's new hairdo is so distracting and confusing. (His hair kinda looks like Renee's from Cycle 8.) Also distracting and confusing: Tyra's top. We can't tell if it's a coat or a blazer from the future. Anyway, in the clip above we get to hear from transgender contestant Isis, although we have to wait for the actual episode to find out if she's pre- or post-op. In the second half of the video, Tyra pretends that she's a moose and chases a contestant around the room, instructing her to "run fiercely" and then showing her how. (This is the best show in the world.) Clip above, and after the jump, some more clips of interviews with the girls. More »

Tyra has a lot to celebrate: Today marks the 500th episode of her talk show, which, we learned this morning, has been nominated for a Daytime Emmy (this year in a different category, "talk show/informative" instead of "talk show/entertainment"). TyTy was a guest on The View today, and she let us know that New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg has christened April 30 "Tyra Banks Show Day." (Unlike Mariah Carey, however, Tyra is not getting her signature colors shown on the Empire State Building.) So in honor of this very special occasion, we've compiled some of our favorite clips from Tyra's Emmy-nominated third season. Pack your bags, y'all, we're going after the jump. More »

On last night's episode of Rock of Love 2, the parents of the three remaining girls came to visit, and Amber's dad nearly fucked up the whole competition for her when he told Bret her real age. (She's 37, not 32.) She insisted that she was so used to telling people her stage age, she didn't realize that she'd lied to Bret. But honestly, how could Bret even be pissed at her? Hiding one's age in show business isn't really any more deceitful than say, hiding one's bald spot with a wig tied on with a bandanna. Ooh, speaking of...Bret took off his bandanna this week! Pictures of his weave after the jump. More »

It was pretty obvious from the get go that any interpersonal dramz on I Know My Kid's a Star would take place between the stage parents. On last night's episode, flashy mom Rocky decided to give herself a haircut so that she "wouldn't outshine [her] daughter" in the competition. Alai's mother Gigi — another strong character in the house — wasn't buying Rocky's story of her perfectly layered 'do, and went searching through the house to find discarded weave tracks. Why? Because she wanted to prove that Rocky was a liar, but also to "help everyone in America to know that people have weaves." Clip above. More »

Last week, Joy Behar said that they don't want men as panelists on The View, because people don't care what men have to say when they tune in to watch that show. And that's so true. But what's great about women's daytime talk shows is that when men actually do go on, they behave so much differently than they do on other shows, and we learn something new about them that we wouldn't have otherwise known. For instance, William Shatner is a huge Oprah fan, and looks to Dr. Oz's advice on poop shape. And we learned that presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee—who bonded with Tyra over food issues—doesn't like carrots. Hmm, interesting. Maybe 'cause it's phallus shaped and he doesn't want to put it in his mouth because God did not intend for that type of union? Anyway, all that and weaves in the clip above and more after the jump.

Britney ran three stop signs on Friday night. Is she taking driving lessons from Toonces? • Tyra Banks is too attached to her weave! TyTy won't allow her gentleman callers to see her without her wig on. She even sleeps in it sometimes. • R.I.P. Quiet Riot lead singer Kevin Dubrow. He feels the noise no more.
