Model Ambassadors

This week on Make Me A Supermodel, Frankie was sent home…Ben and Casey return to the house. Tyson comes over to let the models know that its Niki’s birthday and they are throwing her a party. The guy write a song and the girls bake a cake. At the party, the girl's low key personalities didn't make a big impression on the guests. This week the models learn about branding. For their photo assignment they made a video look book. Ben turned up the sex appeal…first with Ronnie and then on camera with Holly. Hey...it was his idea to use Ronnie.

The next day the models have to be brand ambassadors for Bloomingdale’s. Everyone has to sell the outfits they are wearing. Ben gets cut before the event begins. The client had to tell Perry to tone he’s theatrics down. Shannon and Casey ended up doing the best in the eyes of the client. For the runway they have to capture the essence of the label. They each have 2 vintage looks to wear on the runway. Ben said the Bloomingdale’s challenge was too much like selling. The judges said that’s what models do…sell clothes. Holly wins the runway challenge. After they get back from the runway show Perry gets a message to call his girlfriend Amanda. She tells him that something has happened and it isn’t true. Then she hangs up on him. (Story about Amanda being the new woman with Britney Spears' photographer/boyfriend Adnan Ghalib - you can check out the pic of Amanda and Adnan together on Sing-yang.com.)

3 Models Up For Elimination - Week 9

That's a Pretty Big Glove To Fill

If you missed it, you should be watching out for the rerun of last night's Randy Jackson Presents: America's Best Dance Crew. This week's challenge was for the crews to celebrate songs from the biggest selling album ever, Thriller. If you didn't know already, it is the 25th year anniversary of Thriller's release. I smell a future American Idol theme- seriously if not now, then when? First up was Status Quo with Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'. This week they had the weakest performance. If it was earlier in the competition, it wouldn't have been that bad. JC gave some comforting words to contrast Shane and Lil' Mama's comments about not doing MJ enough justice. See! he does have a heart.

JabbaWockeeZ
performed to my favorite song on the album, P.Y.T. There was locking, a hyperactive crotch grab, and more. They played up the lyrics and the beat- couldn't ask for more. Judges loved it, I loved, you probably loved/will love it. Kaba Modern got the powerhouse that is Thriller. Honestly, I would have been scared pulling that out of the hat. It's like singing Mariah or Whitney on American Idol- just not a good idea. To make it their own, they chose a futuristic-industrial theme vs the original horror-zombie. As usual, they killed it while capitalized on the hand tricks that JC loved so much last week. It was necessary to see them dance as a complete crew again. The boy-girl separation was getting ridiculous.

In the face-off, Fysh n Chicks went first with drunken party favorite, Billie Jean. I really liked the direction they chose. Taeko played the role of Billie Jean and played the fence of being "girly" and hitting hard with the "guys." BreakSk8 stepped it up with Beat It this week. They definitely made up for the last couple of weeks. Tony and Diamond were crazy with the tricks. In the end, BreakSk8 were saved and Fysh n Chicks were sent home. Best of luck to the Fysh. I'm already friends with these ladies in my head- next stop MySpace. Holla when you come to Chicago (me) or NYC (spoiltheending). Youtube that Shit awards go to JabbaWockeeZ and Kaba Modern. Let's be real, you should be YouTubing all of them by now. It's only 5 clips! Next week is Broadway... I know you just announced your Broadway gig, Mario Lopez, but don't try to surprise us with a dance next week.

"College Road Trip" Opens This Weekend

The trailer for the new movie College Road Trip starring Raven-Symone and Martin Lawrence. Opening in theaters tomorrow...March 7th.

Christian Wins Bitches

The designers get everything together for Fashion Week. Everyone is busy with casting models, selecting makeup, doing fittings and picking hair styles for the show. Tim comes in and tells them the order for the show and lets them know he is proud of them. Oh, we love you too Tim.

The show was filled with Project Runway alumni, the contestant’s families, celebrities and guest judge Victoria Beckham. Jillian's collection - attention to detail but was disjointed. Christian's collection – a flare for chic drama but it was a lot of black (but that was Victoria’s style...she loved it). Rami's collection – excellent weaving of the fabric but the challenge was in the color selection.

Jillian was the first to be out. Christian started tearing up as they called his name as the winner of Project Runway. Christian (the youngest Project Runway winner) will have a spread in Elle Magazine, new car, opportunity to sell his line on Bluefly.com, a year of representation from Designers Management Agency and $100,000 to start his own line. Since he won fan favorite...he took home a total of $110,000...just took all the money. Now that's fierce!! His model, Lisa, gets a fashion spread in Elle Magazine. Everyone had great lines and they will all be successful in the industry...can't wait to see more from each of them.

Un-be-weaveable Makeovers

The models go to Wal-mart for their challenge. They had 5 mins to pick out CoverGirl makeup and apply it. Claire won the challenge…her picture will represent CoverGirl on Wal-mart’s website. Fatima seems to be really good at hitting the wrong nerve in people. This time she set off Allison. The girl’s get their makeovers…but Tyra didn’t tell them what they were going to get before hand. The only person that cried was FatimaDRAMA…she was just getting a weave (most of them got weaves). I just want to say I loved Marvita new long mohawk. Elle Macpherson brought her lingerie line for the girls to model in the photo shoot.

At elimination, it came down to Dominique and Allison in the bottom two. This week it was Allison’s time to go home. She was over confident about her modeling skills. Claire was the CoverGirl of the week.

The Onion Movie

I was on HolyTaco.com and they had the clip of The Onion movie. Look for Steven Seagal in the clip...very funny.


Toccara Graces KING

Toccara, former America's Next Top Model cycle 3 contestant and BET personality, graces the cover for KING Magazine (The best men's magazine ever) for the second time. Toccara shows off her new look in the May issue. The plus sized model is looking skinner and skinner every time we see her. Remember when she was on Celebrity Fit Club and she said, "But I'm still hungry." That was classic!!

Flav’s Flavorette Roast

The girls are split into teams to put on the first Flavorette Roast. Each team had a professional writer to help them with their jokes.

Team 1: Prancer, Shy, Sinceer, Myammee. Thing 1 and Thing 2 (pick Hotlanta to roast)
Team 2: Bee-Ex, Bunz, Hotlanta, Seezinz and Grayvee (pick Shy to roast)

Comedian Sommore is the host for the roast. Team 1 brings Hotlanta to the stage to get roasted. They talked about her being fat and having herpes. Shy had jokes about all the girls in the other team. Next up was team 2 and they call Shy to the stage. They got on her about having bad breath. Bee-ex kills it…but the rest of the team just fell off. Flav took Shy on a solo date to the aquarium. They get in the tank with the sharks…well until the shark got to close to Flav’s man parts. Flav had to give Shy some mints…I guess the bad breath jokes were true. Flav can’t get it off his mind about the bump on Hotlanta’s lip (the girl’s called it herpes; she said it was a pimple). So he sends a doctor to the house to check her out. For the group date, Flav invites Bee-Ex to come along with them on the water park date. The twins give Flav a bubble bath before elimination…Bee-Ex interrupts and tells Flav she was on Fear Factor…then Grayvee comes to his room with pig feet…after he told her he didn’t like them.

Flav's Love Connections (Winners of the date):

Sommore Quote:

  • "How cute, how young...I mean, I always thought you ran a whore house. But now I see it's a daycare. You know. I mean, they look just like the girls for last season except new weave."

Herpes or Pimple - Doctor Results for Hotlanta:

  • It Was A Pimple (then she gets her clock)

Eliminated:

  • GrayveeThe pig’s feet did it!!

The Girl Has Charisma

This week they have to show Charisma. The girls break into groups with the team leaders representing the best from the last performance:

Group 1: Charlye (leader), Tiffanie, Nichole - “These Boots Are Made For Walkin’”

Group 2: Carrie (leader), Jamie, Alexis, Cassandra - “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun”

Group 3: Chrystina (leader), Natalie, Jenna, Ilisa - “Respect"

When the teams start working on their songs, Tiffanie didn’t seem to get the fact that she is over singing. Ilisa talks about her heart disease and is feeling the pressure of being different in the house. Chrystina and Natalie suck up most of the show with their self absorbed ramblings. Robin takes the girls to a listening party for Nicole Scherzinger’s album. What happen to that CD?? The girls next challenge was to perform a Pussycat Dolls song in front of a group of little girls at the party. The kids ripped into their performances. Ilisa and Natalie got mostly good comments from the kids. Natalie was the winner and was exempted from elimination. For some reason Tiffanie thought Natalie won because of her big boobs…and said maybe she should have showed her boobs to win. That Was Dumb!! They were little girls...maybe you need to just dance and sing better.

Ilisa decided to share her story with her house mates. But that didn’t change how Natalie treated her…but when you think about it she treats everyone the same. At elimination, all the teams did a good job…so much so that the judges had to decided by looking at everyone’s individual performances. Jenna, Chrystina, Alexis and Nichole had the weakest performances of the night. The bottom 2 came down to Chrystina and Alexis. But Alexis is the one that had to hang up her boa. Girl, you better go back to school! Next week they are giving the girl’s makeovers…just drop them off at a strip club.

What About Donnie...

Everyone else is recording but Donnie is waiting to get in the studio. It’s about time we started seeing more of Donnie in the studio…I was wonder what was up. He has been is spending a lot of time at the house while the groups are in the studio. Dawn talked about having to leave New Orleans with nothing and not having anything to go back to. Dawn and Que keep saying they are just friends...we will see how long that will last. She basically gives him an out..."your young"..."you don't need to be tied down"...but he don't want the out. She was happy...don't know why she was fronting like she didn't want him.

Diddy hooks Donnie up with producer Seven. What was up with the feather earrings dude had on?? He took him into a smoke filled studio and said he had doves in the other room…CRAZY. During a vocal practice with Danity Kane, Dawn has a hard time to connecting and is holding back her tears. Michael Bivins drops in to see what the guys have done and has a one-on-one talk with Donnie. Finally, they get a focus for Donnie’s CD and he is knocking out some songs. Dawn and Que kiss…so sweet...she wanted those juicy lips.

Who wants some Lip Chap?

Saaphyri's Lip Chap has a new ad. Check out the clip and let me know if you would buy some lip chap after seeing this commercial.

Wedding Bells for Snoop

Snoop tells two of the guys on his staff that he wants them to plan a surprise wedding. He wants to renew his vows with Shante. They only have 2 days to plan a wedding. Snoop picks out a new ring with the help of Shante's sister. The guys from Snoop's team met with the wedding planners...the guys said the planners were creeping them out. But they looked liked crazy sitting in there doing the cake tasting. Why did they ask if the red velvet cake came in blue??

Shante thinks it's Charlie Wilson's anniversary event. Charlie brings Snoop up to say a few words. Snoop then asks Shante to remarry him on the spot. Each of their kids gave Shante a ring...I really loved that part in the ceremony. The R&B singing group GUY featuring Charlie Wilson (as lead) performed "Let's Chill" for the happy couple
(Snoop cried...even gangta's cry). It was very sweet...after this I'm not sure if I can look at Snoop the same way. But in the back of my mind I was think about that other kid that claims to be his son.

Seeing More of "The Rock"

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is locking down the family friendly kid movies these days. He is currently working on two films: Planet 51 and The Tooth Fairy. "Planet 51" is a CG-animated sci-fi film for New Line Cinema. The Rock will be the voice for the character Capt. Charles "Chuck" Baker. In "The Tooth Fairy," The Rock will play the lead character...Yes...The Tooth Fairy. The Rock as a fairy...this I got to see!!

If you miss seeing The Rock on the WWE...He will be at the 2008 WWE Hall of Fame Awards to induct his grandfather (High Chief Peter Maivia) and father ("The Soulman" Rocky Johnson).
I'm sure this is the only way they could get him to show up. I've been to the Hall of Fame and it is usually boring...but this year I'm sure it will be very interesting. The WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2008 will be inducted on Saturday, March 29 as part of WrestleMania weekend.

Bret's U.S. HO.ish Show

The girl's are asked to put on an old school U.S.O. show for a group of veterans. Bret brings in 2 ladies from the U.S.O. to help the girls put together a show. Kristy Joe and Ambre do a tap dance routine. Kristy Joe's dancing is like a Monkey on crack...Hey...Bret said it...I just agree. Megan and Jessica strip down and hula-hoop. Destiney and Inna are suppose to be dancing but end up stripping...really stripping. Daisy was singing the National Anthem...if you want to call it singing. She couldn't remember the words...and she was holding a sheet of paper with the words on it. I felt sorry for those poor vets having to sit through that mess. The vets picked Jessica and Megan as the winners of the date. Bret plans a dinner with all the girls back at the house. Bret is asking the girls who is there for the right/wrong reasons. He was trying to start some drama. Ambre calls out Kristy Joe for being there for the wrong reasons. Destiney and Kristy Joe start yelling across the table...Bret leaves...Kristy Joe goes upstairs and starts packing. Bret decides to have a had a private talk with Kristy Joe...she keeps sucking him in (maybe that's what he likes...haha).

Bret takes Jessica and Megan to Ed Hardy to get some custom designed shirts. At lunch the girls tell Bret about Inna yelling at the U.S.O women that were there to help them.
Ambre tries to talk to Kristy Joe and work things out since they are roommates...whatever. Ambre should have been plotting to get that chick out of the house. During elimination it comes down to Inna and Kristy Joe. Bret sent Inna home and the last pass went to Kristy Joe. Why does he keep this chick in the house?? I guess he is just into crazy, married, Playboy model chicks.

Tito Got Knocked Out

The teams have to create a magazine spread for Dial Yogurt Body Wash to be featured in Redbook. Trump let’s the teams know that the project manager will be on the chopping block if they lose. Omarosa goes from wanting to be the PM to asking Tito if he wants to do it...of course. Tito and Carol become the PM’s for the project. Piers wanted Carol to be the model in the ad. She gives in to what Piers is wanting even though she is the PM. Lennox directs the photo shoot and comes up with some provocative poses.

Trace becomes one of the models for his team’s ad. Stephen and Omarosa bump heads about which photos to use. She wanted to use a topless picture of Trace but Stephen said it was too risky. I liked the shots of Trace alone...but the pictures with Trace and the 2 shirtless male models was getting a little Broke Back Mountain for me. Trump was surprised at the pictures of Carol with a guy biting her shoulder but was looking for more from Tito’s team. The executives pick Carol’s team as the winner of the challenge and Carol gets another $20,000 for her charity (Tony Alt Memorial Foundation). Back in the boardroom, Tito got fired but Trump said that he is something special. Trump donates $50,000 to Tito’s charity (St. Jude Children's Research Hospital). Trump is just a big ole softy.

Janet Jackson's MTV spoofs

Check out the Janet Jackson MTV spoofs. My favorite ones are the Super Sweet 16 and the Making The Band. Which spoofs are you feeling?
