‘America’s Next Top Model’ Getting Haute New Makeover For Cycle 15
America’s Next Top Model is getting a status update next season. In Cycle 15, the winner will get featured in Italian Vogue, a big leap in high-fashion cred from past spreads in Seventeen magazine. Did new judge Andre Leon Talley — Vogue’s flamboyant Editor-At-Large — have something to do with this?
“It’s so major and makes the pressure huge,” Top Model fixture Jay Manuel told the New York Post. “When we announced it to the girls, we couldn’t stop them from… More »

Who do you think the “surprising” winner is going to be? … More »

Be the Jays for Halloween!
Halloween is tonight and I thought I’d celebrate by imagining the greatest costume pairing ever: the Js from America’s Next Top Model. I think these costumes would work best if you dressed up with a friend. A a loud girl with a giant weave and an ugly dress and you could go as a trio.
Jay Manuel costume:

1) Silver hair dye
2) Shiny blazer in an ugly color or a too-tight metallic shirt
3) A rock tee you think… More »

Jay Manuel Works Fashion Rocks 2008
While other ANTMers Tyra Banks and Miss J Alexander got to have fun at Conde Naste’s Fashion Rocks 2008 this year, Jay Manuel had to work!
Jay hit the red carpet to do some pre-show reporting for Style Television. While I don’t doubt it’s hard work, it has some pretty neat perks–like getting to interview Miley Cyrus!
I think Miley looks super-cute and age-appropriate here. (I can’t help it, I love Miley Cyrus.) Jay doesn’t look so bad himself. I’d wish he’d… More »

On April 29th, Jay Manuel appeared on MTV’s TRL. I didn’t catch or and I can’t find a video. Did anyone see it? He was on with Girlicious and Alicia Keys, which is an interesting combination.
