Bianca Golden, who appeared on the ninth cycle of America’s Next Top Model, opened up to Tyra Banks about the brawl her family had with Hairspray star Nikki Blonsky’s family.

Bianca will appear on the October 8 episode of The Tyra Banks Show. She claims the fight started when Nikki was rude to Bianca’s aunt. Things got physical between the families when Nikki’s dad attacked Bianca’s mom, Bianca claims.

“He knocked her out. He hit my mom with such force she stumbled back and when she stumbled back the whole family got up and attacked my mom,” Bianca told Tyra, People reports. After the initial blow Nikki “takes her foot and kicks my mom in her vagina, and that’s when my mom fell out completely.”

Bianca says her mom still has bruises from the fight, over two months later.

This is crazy stuff. However, Nikki’s rep refused to comment on Bianca’s appearance, so we are only hearing one side of the story.

Adrianne Curry, the original winner has never been shy about her politics. She’s written about John McCain, Barack Obama, God and abortion on her MySpace. Today, she took on another political hot topic–John McCain’s choice of running mate, Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin.

“I am against this woman ever making it into office,” Adrianne writes. “I do not vote for people based on color or gender, but rather, what they stand for and how closely it represents where I am in my life.”

However, Adrianne does encourage her fans who feel differently to get out and vote and voice their opinion–providing that it’s done in an educated and respectful manner.

In such a contentious and historical election, I think it’s great that people like Adrianne, with a younger fan base, are encouraging their fans to get involved with the election and learn about the issues facing them today and how each political party stands. Adrianne herself seems to be well-informed, which I think is an important precedent before you start speaking so publicly about the issues,

What do you think?

She did way more shows in the NYC Fall/Winter season. I can’t help but wonder why. But I’m sure she’ll be rocking several runways in London, Paris and Milan shortly! London Fashion Week has already started and Alice has seen a few runways already!

Nigel Barker sat down with NYC blog Gothamist to chat about his family and how it’s growing; his new exhibit, “A Sealed Fate”; and living in New York.

Nigel is involved with the Humane Society and feels very passionately about the annual seal hunt that occurs here in Canada.

However, the exhibit doesn’t have graphic photographs of the hunt itself, but rather:

“The exhibit is a celebration of their lives, and what they are, and their transformation during their short life,” Nigel says. “I wanted to bring a spotlight to show people what they look like, right up until they die, so people realize they are still beautiful.”

I think it’s an interesting move that Nigel didn’t automatically go for the gross-out factor. Those can be more emotionally challenging, but I guess that doesn’t faze a professional photographer! I hope the photos are put online at some point–I’d love to see them.

The exhibit is at 401 Projects July 25-27. Nigel is giving guided tours himself, so be sure to take advantage of that! You can read the rest of the Gothamist interview here.

Even though the Foxtel president said that host Jodhi Meares’ future with Australia’s Next Top Model was safe and that she would be welcome back next season, Jodhi is publicly stating that she has no plans to return to the show.

In a recent interview with GraziaMeares said, “I am not an entertainer, I don’t aspire to handle crowds of that level. I said that upfront and Foxtel were totally fine about it.”

She felt that her decision wasn’t very controversial and that the media hype was overblown and unnecessary.

“When it happened, I didn’t know how to feel. I thought, `What the hell do I do?’,” she said. “Obviously I have dealt with media interest in me before, but not on that scale and not for no reason, like this it really got out of hand.”

As for returning to AusNTM, it’s not happening, she claims. She has no plans to return to AusNTM or any participate in any media in the future. “I don’t see it as something I will need to manage in the future,” she said.

Certainly publicly discussing contract negotiations before they happen is a great way to not get your contract renewed. My only question now is–who are they going to hire to replace Jodhi?

I think the shoes are cute and the dress is okay, but the look isn’t coming together for me. Maybe it’s the thick, black tights–who wears those in the summer?

What do you think of CariDee’s outfit? Yay or nay?

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie may not be novice parents but they’re new to the world of twins and it seems a lot of people are shouting out with words of wisdom, advice, good cheer, and even babysitting offers.

This week’s issue of People magazine has Brad and Angie on the cover (actually so does every other weekly magazine that I saw in the store today), which you can see here. Inside, Wyclef Jean, a friend of Angelina said “I’m willing to babysit for them!” which is a brave offer when there are six kids! Babysitting aside, he feels they’ll be more than able to handle the large group of children, saying “they will do well”.

Meanwhile, People also interviewed an everyday non-celebrity family who have something in common with the Jolie-Pitt family in that they had four children already when they added twins to their family. They advised them that sleep is even more elusive with twins, that they often didn’t get to bed until 1 am by the time they got all the kids to sleep and took care of their own things, and that the father fell asleep while being driven, blindfolded, to a surprise party just because he was so incredibly tired.

Even the family’s eight-year-old daughter was able to give a piece of advice to Maddox Jolie-Pitt. She said, “The babies may stink up the house a little, and they might make some noise. It may be hard, but being the oldest of six can be fun.”

How cute is that?

The photos are gorgeous, I just wish alice was featured more prominently. Currently, she’s in three shots. She’s in the back left in this one, middle right in this one, and middle left in this one. She looks amazing and her red hair really makes her stand out.

Thanks to frillr for uploading the photos and hat tip to Top Model Live Journal for pointing Alice out!
