Ken promises that this cycle is going to be an exciting one.

“I think you’ll have just as much variety of contestants on the show as you’ve had in every cycle,” he said. “It’s not a… More »

Fatima Siad Interviewed by Boston Globe

Image details: The CW Network’s Upfront served by picapp.com Fatima Siad has been getting quite a bit of press lately! First, her personal editorial, and now an interview in the Boston Globe! The interview has a lot of the same themes–her circumcision and coming public with it, her modeling career and even looking like Iman.

Video: Whitney Thompson on The Big Idea

Whitney Thompson appeared on The Big Idealate last week. It’s a pretty good interview. She chats about her supportive family, dealing with adversity, dealing with discrimination and her message to the modeling industry.

Video: Whitney Thompson on Fox News

Here is a short interview of Whitney Thompson on Fox News! I love the guy who is interviewing her! He clearly knows nothing about modeling or the fashion industry.

Also, Whitney doesn’t let him get a word in! Poor guy!

While I appreciate Whitney’s cause, I really hate how she lumps all thin models into the category of “unhealthy.” Yes, some models are unhealthy and are hurting their bodies to be models, but there are other models out there who are naturally… More »

Video: Whitney Thompson on Extra

Here is the short video clip of Whitney Thompson on Extra. Again, it’s more of a short recap clip than a revealing interview, but what sort of friend tells their size-10 pal that she’s fat, even if it’s for a modeling competition? You could at least choose more sensitive language.

I also wonder how this 13 year old cousin feels as constantly being paraded out as her source of inspiration. Does she feel proud? Or embarrassed?… More »

America’s Next Top Model Cycle 10 winner Whitney Thompson appeared on Live with Regis and Kelly on Thursday morning.

She chats about

While I think Whitney does have an important message about young girls being comfortable and proud of their bodies, she’s becoming one-note very, very quickly. CariDee English didn’t even become a psoriasis crusader until after her initial Covergirl contract expired, and even then, she spoke about more stuff than that during interviews…. More »
