The new season of The Amazing Race -- premiering Sunday, September 25 at 8pm on CBS -- will send 11 competing teams around the globe, making first time visits to exotic locations such as Indonesia, Malawi, Belgium and Denmark.
Teams will be tested early and often and met with a new penalty called the "Hazard," which will impact one team's future right from the starting line. The global journey sets off from the foothills of Southern California where the Teams' problem solving abilities will be put to the test as they search for clues to their first destination, Taipei, Taiwan. Teams fortunate enough to survive the first leg will find themselves amidst an 8th Century Buddhist temple in Indonesia, riding elephants through the rain forests of Thailand, and racing for their lives when they discover they're facing the series first ever Double Elimination. So many new twists this season!
This season's cast includes a pair of Olympic snowboarders, twin sisters, an ex-NFL tight end, flight attendants, the youngest person to ever sail around the world alone and two winners of Survivor, Ethan Zohn and Jenna Morasca. Meet all of the 11 teams after the jump!
More interviews with the models of America's Next Top Model All-Stars are dropping this week! First was Allison Harvard (Cycle 12) and now the queen of the 716 Angelea Preston (Cycle 14) is getting her turn.
Angelea talks about All-Stars being her third time on ANTM -- she almost made Cycle 12 and came in third on Cycle 14 -- and why she is one of the most recognizable characters in Top Model history. Check it out after the jump!
The All-Star cycle of America's Next Top Model is just a few weeks away (see the girls' first shots here), and The CW has released an interview with fan-favorite Allison Harvard (Cycle 12).
In the clip Allison -- aka "Creepy Chan" -- talks about her past experience on ANTM, how she dropped everything and moved to New York City to become and artist and what fans can expect from America's Next Top Model All-Stars. Check it out after the jump!
The highlight of last night's lackluster MTV Video Music Awards for me was definitely the exclusive clip from the upcoming film adaptation of The Hunger Games. Unfortunately we had to sit through the entire two-plus hour show to see it, but it was well worth the wait!
Check out this short but sweet clip of Jennifer Lawrence as the series' heroine Katniss Everdeen braving the elements of the arena in the games after the jump!

I almost always wear contact lenses, but I am a secret four-eyes at heart. I've been sporting glasses since I was 8 years old (here's the awesome yearbook photo to prove it!) so when I heard about Warby Parker's home try-on program I signed up as fast as my fingers could type!
The way that it works is simple. You go to WarbyParker.com, shop their great frames, pick five that you love and Warby Parker will mail them to you free of charge to try on at home. You get five days to test drive and then you send 'em back in the prepaid box and purchase the ones that suit you best.
I picked out my five frames and received them a few days later. So, why not the readers decide which ones I should get? Keep reading after the jump to see the frames on my mug and let me know which ones to pick out.
