America's Next Top Model Auditions Get Dangerous

GiggleSugar — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 08:26:54 -0700

The streets were littered with headshots and high heels. Someone shouted "guns" and even "bombs." Women lost their purses, but thankfully, no one lost her life. A John Waters movie, you ask? Nope. Just another Saturday in New York when ladies in line to audition for America's Next Top Model created a melee that required police reinforcement and ambulances. All just to have Tyra force them into tragic haircuts while telling 'em to smile with their eyes. Me? I'd stand in line to audition for Cleveland's Next Top Model. That's waaaay cooler.

The Scoop: Nigel Barker Makes A (Fashion) Statement Against Seal Fur

PetSugar — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 10:45:57 -0800

With the fashion industry taking the Cool vs. Cruel anti-fur movement to heart, it seems that we're finally making some headway on the realization that cruelty for the sake of couture isn't the best idea. Plus, when celebs like Hayden Panettiere make headlines for their causes – like her involvement in Save The Whales, Again! – it puts a blazing spotlight on issues that are important to our world.

Just like Hayden, Nigel Barker, one of Tyra's industry judges on Americas Next Top Model, is taking a stand against March's annual commercial seal hunt (where each year hundreds of thousands of baby seals are hunted and killed for their fur). Traveling to eastern Canada this week, Nigel will be scoping out the baby seals before the hunt begins :

“It is my hope that by witnessing these baby seals in their natural environment we can draw attention to the inhumane slaughter that will occur in a few short weeks,” said Barker. “Every year hundreds of thousands of baby seals are clubbed and shot to death for their fur. Their carcasses are discarded like waste and left on the ice. It is my strong opinion that this is bigger than making a fashion statement. This is about making a life statement. If we call ourselves human we must act humanely.”

If that's not enough, Nigel will be returning to the ice flows of eastern Canada to film and witness the seal hunt in progress. Ultimately, Nigel and The Humane Society hope that the seal fur trade will be banned in Europe, where a majority of the fur is shipped and sold. To check out a video of Nigel and HSUS President Wayne Pacelle speaking out against the fur trade, just read more.

Fab Flash: ANTM Renewed Until 2010!

FabSugar — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 11:34:55 -0700

America's Next Top Model fans rejoice! The show has been renewed to run until at least 2010, which means more Tyra than you can handle (the show is such a guilty pleasure for me)! ANTM will return to New York after the upcoming season, which is based in LA.

America's Next Top Model Quiz: "America's Next Top Model Is..."

BuzzSugar — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:15:56 -0800

The moment we've all been waiting for has finally arrived: I've been gearing up with my America's Next Top Model quizzes for months, and Bella has been getting in on the excitement with her ANTM faceoff game - and now we finally have our Cycle 13 winner! (Not to mention the first petite champ.) Cue the drumroll and take this one last test to judge your knowledge from the finale.

And afterward, I'm curious to hear how you felt about this season overall. The competition wasn't as stiff as I had hoped, and I would've liked a few more solid contenders for the No. 1 spot - but we definitely got a mix of some fun personalities. (Laura and Jennifer immediately come to mind.) Weigh in on the cycle - and the final winner - in the comments. Or just click on over to the America's Next Top Model group in the BuzzSugar Community!

America's Next Top Model Quiz: "Hawaiian Hip Hop"

BuzzSugar — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 12:30:16 -0800

This week was a first in the history of America's Next Top Model: With only one episode until the finals, the judges decided to eliminate not one, but two girls. I honestly couldn't decide who I preferred seeing in the last round - Nicole and Laura, Nicole and Jennifer? (You already know how I feel about Erin, and it was a no-brainer that Nicole would make the cut.) So who got the boot? Take my quiz and see how much you remember!

And if you don't agree with the judges' picks this week - or want to just chat about the show in general - check out the America's Next Top Model group in the BuzzSugar Community.

America's Next Top Model Quiz: "Dive Deeper"

BuzzSugar — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 09:30:05 -0800

I don't know about you, but I'm sort of a fan girl for Marisa Miller thanks to the heyday of Victoria's Secret, so I was psyched to see her fill in as guest judge on this week's America's Next Top Model. This episode was all about the water - cliff diving, scuba diving - and some of the girls freaked. Who was able to overcome her fear and move on, and who choked? Test yourself to see if you remember all the details!

And don't forget that you can sound off about this week's episode in the America's Next Top Model group in the BuzzSugar Community!

America's Next Top Model Quiz: "Let's Go Surfing"

BuzzSugar — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 09:29:43 -0700

While it wasn't the most dramatic episode, this week's America's Next Top Model sure was beautifully picturesque. The models flew to the Hawaiian islands, tried out a little surfing, and then posed as a mix of different races. While Bella ranked the high fashion shoot as one of her 15 worst, I thought it was a nice hour of entertainment nonetheless. (Plus, Tyra stepped behind the camera a second time - a first in ANTM's history!) Do you remember everything that went down?
