Janice puts the “dick” in Dickinson

Before you all get excited at the thought of all your suspicions about the self-proclaimed first supermodel Janice Dickinson being a tranny on account of my headline, I’m thinking more along the lines of her being one big asshole, boob, creep, bitch and any other deprecating adjective to use on Ms. Dickinson. She’s no stranger to giving her opinion – as evidenced by her low-rated yet popular syndicated cable “documentary” show The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency – and even out and about in real life she forgets to keep her opinions and outbursts in check. Which leads people to think she’s even more of a diva-bitch than she really is.

Just recently, she was videotaped (again) assailing a bunch of paparazzi as she stumbled, dunk, out of a bar and onto her car. Of course, being the walking tabloid fantasy that she is, the paps decided to follow her close. A little to close for her comfort it seems, as she began to scream at the photogs for invading her “private space” and in an attempt to shoo them away started to snap and wave her shawl about, looking like some drunk ballerina fumbling with her prop. The verbal barrage and swatting continued for a while before, seemingly exhausted, Janice squatted on the pavement and looked like she was about to take a major dump. Classy. As things started to wind down (or the Xanax began kicking in), she calmed herself, got in her car, and sped off. Clearly, encounters with Great Whites and killer Polar Bears are a lot less scarier than what those photographers went through with Janice.

It’s one thing to be outspoken and saying the things that everyone is too polite or afraid to say out loud (yes, I’m looking at you, Simon Cowell). But it’s quite another to do it in such a rude and insensitive kind of way. I mean, for what it’s worth, people welcome honesty – as long as it’s delivered in a frank, non-disparaging kind of way. Not screamed from across the street at full volume while trying to walk off the alcohol. Then again, this is Janice Dickinson we’re talking about. The woman who did so much blow (that’s cocaine and oral sex) in the ’80s it has hampered her discretion gene. No, not hampered – completely obliterated. So maybe it’s not a good idea to hope for ladylike behavior from Janice since she is completely incapable of being one. Which is always great tabloid and blogsphere fodder for us.

Paulina Porizkova is the latest Tyra Banks casualty

First there was Janice Dickinson. Then there was Twiggy. Now, the latest America’s Next Top Model judge to bite the dust is (insert faux-sincere Tyra Banks voice here) Llllllllegendary Supermodel Paulina Porizkova. She’s been a judge on the modeling competition program now for about three cycles and while there were no rumors of bad blood between the retired legend and the ego-crazy diva-wannabe, it still comes as no surprise that Tyra fired Paulina’s ass. Oh, yes, I forgot to mention that it was Tyra who canned Paulina. Which is for the best, since Paulina had gotten tired of Tyra’s crazy diva ways. How tired? Well, I’ll let Paulina tell you herself.

In an interview with Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush, Paulina regaled him with stories of how she would wait for Tyra to arrive on set. “It’s six hours later and I feel like I am being told my time is not as valuable as hers. They pointed out that I should shut up and be grateful for the job and that Tyra is really busy. I think that my little hissy fits about ‘Well, we are all here on time. Why can’t she?’ didn’t go over all that well.” The conversation then veered towards Paulina’s opinions on the high turnover rate for female judges on the show. “I don’t think that in Tyra’s universe that’s even a consideration. I don’t think she cares. I’m not even sure she was aware that I existed way out there in Siberia, much like I am not sure she knew Twiggy existed.” And the most surprising revelation of all – Tyra doesn’t speak to Paulina in real life. “All I know of her is literally when we are on set talking to each other in front of the cameras. That is the only time she would speak to me.”

Okay, hold the motherfuckin’ phone! Are we to believe that Tyra Banks, who’s greatest modeling achievement is showcasing her large tatas on the pages of Sports Illustrated and acting (badly) in a John Singleton movie has the gall to ignore a model who has been on the cover of Vogue and many other magazines, who’s held million-dollar contracts for cosmetics companies like Lancome, and who’s modeling legacy consists of some of the greatest designers and photographers who ever lived? No wonder other model judges are sashaying their way out of ANTM. There is so much ego tripping on Tyra’s part it’s not even funny. Just because it’s her show doesn;t mean she has the right to treat the people around her like vapor. Then again, what do you expect from someone who is desperate to stay relevant in an industry that practically vomits her up. But the opposite of vomit-inducing pics and videos can be found right here.
