For Those That Still Watch "America's Next Top Model", Guess Who's Replacing Andre Leon Talley?

Firstly, who still watches this show? No. Seriously...

The newest member to join the judges panel on "America's Next Top Model", fashion-God Andre Leon Talley, has decided it is time to step down as a judge from the long running model competition. 

"I had a great ride and will always consider my experience with Top Model one of the best moments of my life," Talley says. "Tyra is an incredible role model and I learned so much sitting next to her through four cycles."

So, who's his replacement? The outspoken fashion PR executive Kelly Cutrone!

"I am a huge fan of America's Next Top Model and have watched the show for years," says Cutrone, 45, who owns People's Revolution. "Having worked in various aspects of the fashion industry over the course of my career, I am excited for this new opportunity and hope to bring a different perspective to the show."

Listen, if Sir Talley was unable to get people to tune into ANTM again, I highly doubt that Kelly Cutrone can. Maybe it's just time to retire the show?! Just a thought....

You Will Never Guess Who Is Featured On Diddy's "Last Train To Paris"???

YES...Lady Wintour and Sir Talley!!! The POWER of Diddy.....

It's no secret that Diddy has a love affair with the fashion industry, and many critics have said the whole album is fashion-inspired (oh, and let's not forget that Vogue was behind this album from the very beginning, running a fashion editorial of Diddy with model Natalia Vodianova in the February 2010 issue).

So to push that sentiment even further, Diddy has mustered up enough energy and strength to get VOGUE greats Anna Wintour and Andre Leon Talley to lend their voices to his Last Train To Paris CD. On Track 2, Lady Wintour says, "This is Anna Wintour from Vogue magazine. You are now listening to the Last Train to Paris."

MAYJAH!!!

Of Paris, ALT says: 

Inspired by his addiction to style and the fashion worlds from New York to Paris, Diddy’s new album, Last Train to Paris (to be released December 14), is a brilliant fusion of stream of consciousness and beats that bring to mind the broken cadences of avant-garde jazz. During Fashion Week last year, he sent out the call via e-mail and voice mail to high-fashion friends to come to his studio to participate in the record. I was somewhere doing what I usually do—previewing a collection or sitting around on the fourth floor of Manolo Blahnik’s midtown shoe emporium—when I received the invitation. Rushing to his studio, I thought about what I would say on the album, which inspired his February 2010 Vogue fashion shoot with Natalia Vodianova, photographed by Annie Leibovitz and styled by Grace Coddington, in which he appeared with the swagger and elegance of Cary Grant in a gorgeous shawl-collared camel double-breasted coat by Tom Ford.

Not mad at all, Diddy!

Meet The New Cast Of "America's Next Top Model"

First and foremost, I JUST started watching America's Next Top Model again ONLY because Tyra & Co. added as a judge the guru of all things fabulous: Mr. Andre Leon Talley (adore that man!).

And now, Tyra Banks is back at it again with the new cast of model hopefuls for season 15.

WOW....that long?

And get this, the winner of this season's competition gets a full spread in VOGUE magazine.

MAJOR!

Why We J'Adore Andre Leon Talley!

The Man, Myth and LEGEND!!!

I have been a fan of Vogue magazine's former editor-at-large (he has a new title now as "contributing editor") Andre Leon Talley (ALT) for quite sometime now. His story is quite inspiring. Having grown up as an only child from a modest family in Durham, North Carolina, Talley assisted Diana Vreelend while she organized the Met's Costume Institute ("I treated her office like walking into the Vatican") to his days working in Andy Warhol's Factory as Interview's receptionist ("I answered phones and picked up Mr. Warhol's lunch). Who said you can't be what you want without determination and a great work ethic???
