So even if America’s Next Top Model won’t confirm that Tyra Banks fired Paulina Porizkova, Paulina sure as hell will. That’s our girl. Hey, that’s what Tyra gets for firing Paulina on her Birthday anyway. [Access Hollywood]
Smoke, mirrors… and a lawsuit? Magician Criss Angel may be heading to the courts instead of the stage for stealing Jeff Beacher’s cat. His defense? “The cat and I have become close friends.” Okkk. [NY Post]
Celia Ammerman, the 25 year old contestant on the current season of America’s Next Top Model, is thought to be the frontrunner by many. Before entering Cycle 13 of the reality show, the tall blond worked at Bergdorf Goodman’s right here in good ol’ New York City selling overpriced designer frocks in hopes of getting discovered. Despite her age (Tyra has remarked many times that 25 is “old” to just now be getting into the modeling industry), her pictures are often some of the judge’s favorites, and a number of blogs and fans are predicting she may win the whole damn thing despite being at least a good half decade older than everyone.

Wow it’s been almost a week! Did you miss us?! So here’s our night:
We started our night at the T-Mobile Sidekick party at Bathhouse Studio. Our host Jackson Jeyanayagam (from Waggener Edstrom) told us to get there early because he has some surprises in store. Did he ever! The party was a total interactive, visual experience. We couldn’t even focus there was so much going on! There were bars everywhere and not just alcohol, there was also an ice cream shake bar, a peanut butter bar and an icee bar where you could pick your favorite flavor.
