In this week's episode of America's Next Top Model Tyra helps the girls discover their individual "fashion archetypes," and gives them tips on how to deal with fame. After a challenge that involves meeting and interacting with the public at the Century City Mall, the winners get a dinner out with Miss Jay, while the loser has a bit of a meltdown. At the shoot with photographer Jonathan Mannion, the models pose wearing mud, and almost nothing else. Supermodel Sonia Dara joins the judges’ panel to decide which girl will be eliminated.
Last month I wrote about Tyra Bank's new fashion and beauty site TypeF.com, which is now fully up and running. The site is fine and dandy, but the thing that I enjoyed the most was Tyra's goofy (and informative) new Web series called "Fa Fa Fa Fashion" co-starring her Top Model co-hort and Vogue editor-at-large Andre Leon Talley.
In the first episode, Tyra and Andre go deep in the trenches to uncover the history behind the classic trench coat. They share tricks on how to make the classic trench work for your modern style, while getting kicky with some fashionable insider tips.
Justin Timberlake, Mila Kunis, Patricia Clarkson, Emma Stone and Andy Samberg star in Friends with Benefits. In this raunchy comedy the relationship between two friends gets complicated when they decide to get romantic. Sounds exactly like No Strings Attached, but looks like it might be a little bit better.
Friends with Benefits hits theaters July 22, 2011.
Televisions everywhere are being invaded by Old Navy's latest annoyingly catchy commercial featuring a clothes-changing dancer performing an original tune called "Layer Player." Haven't seen the ad yet? Watch it now:
But who is the mysterious chick prancing around the screen? She's played by dancer and actress Tyne Stecklein.
Don't worry, you probably haven't heard of Stecklein before unless you're a follower of the dance community, but it's likely you've seen her in action without knowing it.
Before starring in Old Navy's latest ad, Stecklein has appeared in films like Burlesque and the update of Fame, plus was also one of the ten (out of 5,000) dancers chosen to perform alongside Michael Jackson on his This Is It tour. (Watch the dancers perform on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.) In early 2011, Tyne played the role of Victoria in the Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman romantic comedy No Strings Attached.
So, there you have it... another "I wonder who that is?" problem solved! If you're a fan of the commercial (or shopping at Old Navy) you can use the Shazam app on your smart phone to unlock some "secret goodies" from the retailer. Layer player!
In this week's episode of America's Next Top Model the models pose wearing mud, and almost nothing else. With photographer Jonathan Mannion the remaining eight girls pose in two groups: Blondes and Brunettes. Check out the girls' best shots and a few other stills from the shoot.
