America's Next Top Model features hot tranny mess
Ladies and gentleman, the inevitable has happened — Tyra Banks has lost her freaking mind.
No, I’m not talking about the horrendous crimped hairstyle she recently wore to celebrate Vogue Italia’s first all-black model issue.
I’m not even referencing the recent reports that she kept an audience for her talk show waiting for two hours while she gabbed with stagehands around the snack table backstage.
I’m talking about Isis, Banks’ newest headline-snagging protégé.
Fourteen contestants are taking part in Cycle 11 of “America’s Next Top Model,” but only one of those 14 has the distinction of being born a man.
The 22-year-old aspiring model and Maryland native told Us Weekly that she is a woman who was born a male.
Now, I understand everyone is different — and transgendered persons have just as much right to be America’s next top model as anyone else.
But I personally find it a little hard to believe that Isis is more qualified to strut her stuff down the runway than the thousands of actual women she beat out for the part — including a bevy of Baton Rouge beauties when auditions were held in our fair city.
Which leads me to my next question — Is Isis pre-op or post-op?
She is tall, thin and leggy with boyish good looks that could lead to either conclusion.
Perhaps this is the final push in the campaign started by Twiggy in the 1960s and revived by Kate Moss in the 1990s of having runway models with the figures of 13-year-old boys.
Instead of having high-strung cocaine addicts who puke after meals as role models, young girls can idolize the bodies of modern- day eunuchs.
Perhaps Isis’ inherent testosterone will make her less of a cat-fighting attention whore than the other divas in training.
Do men want to be snipped at by noted fashion photographer Nigel Barker and runway diva extraordinaire Miss J. Alexander so badly that they’ll go to excruciating lengths to reach their goal? Are they aching for face time with Paulina Porizkova so hard that they’re willing to castrate themselves?
I wonder how Isis’ past will influence her performance on the show.
The ANTM judges have always expressed their love of androgyny in contestants like Cycle 5’s Kim. But what about Kim’s fellow castmate Coryn, who was frequently chastised for being too masculine?
I wonder if such comments directed at Isis would be considered offensive.
If this was a true attempt to be open-minded and progressive, I would applaud the ANTM team. But I call a spade a spade, and shameless plays for ratings make me reach for my Daily Reveille-issued shovel.
Plus-sized models are old news. We’ve seen scores of confrontational contestants. We’ve had race issues out the wazoo. There was even a lesbian hook up in Cycle 5. Now we’ve reached the final frontier of edgy reality TV.
Can a woman — born a man, but now a woman — make it as a top model?
This must herald the final chapter of “America’s Next Top Model.” How do they top this? Lizard people?
ANTM has a rich and diverse history of capitalizing on the differences of one girl each season.
Cycle 3 winner Eva was short – for a model.
Cycle 5 contestant Kim was a lesbian and Cycle 10 winner Whitney was plus sized.
They even had Heather — a contestant with Asperger’s Syndrome — on Cycle 9.
Banks recaps the chosen sob story at the front of every episode in an effort to strengthen the contestant’s emotional chokehold on the audience.
And honestly, if Isis is cool with being exploited who am I to contradict her? I’m sure this is the big throbbing break she’s been waiting for all her young life.
Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation president Neil Giuliano told Us Weekly this is “an unprecedented opportunity for a community that is underrepresented on television.”
I have to respectfully disagree with Mr. Giuliano.
Is he completely disregarding the character of Mrs. Garrison on South Park?
Besides, no one encompasses the phrase “hot tranny mess” better than Tyra Banks — and I see her on TV every day.
Stomach Exercises for Women
Many women are in search to get that flat and sexy stomach, getting rid of all the fat and revealing the sexy stomach underneath.
Stomach exercises for women are slightly different than mens becuase women want a flat and toned stomach while men are in search to build more muscle and getting rock hard six packs.
Also, the fat in woman’s bodies is distributed differently than men so it is important that women find a guide to stomach exercises designed for women.
The best example we have found and review is by fitness expert and model Jennifer Nicole Lee. She is by far on of the top motivations for women and she offers her unique stomach exercises for women in her fitness program: How to Look Like a Fitness Model, Without Being One.
Not only was Jennifer Nicole Lee invited to Operah and Inside Edition, she is also featured in many fitness magazines becuase she lost over 70 pounds! While still being a great mother to her 2 children.
I really recommend you purchase Jennifer Nicole Lee’s Fitness program, but do you really need to buy it? The honest is answer is no, you don’t need to but you will really get ahead and closer to your goal if you do.
Here is an example I use often, say for example your computer brakes down. You know nothing about computer repair, so would you tamper with the computer and risk harming your computer more or would you call an expert that know how to repair computers?
The smart choice is to call on someone who knows about repairing computer right? Same goes with stomach exercises for women. If you are not a fitness expert or nutritionist than why go about trying to get a flat tummy on your own?
Best of all Jennifer Nicole Lee isn’t just another fitness guru out to make money, she understand how women feel, how it is like to hide under baggy clothes and envy fitness models in magazines. After giving birth to 2 children she was weighing for 200 pounds!
Not only do you get an audio with motivation but you get her secret to how she lost over 70 pounds while having a busy schedule and caring for her children. She knows that women can have a busy schedule and her program works around your schedule even if you think you don’t have time for exercising.
Don’t waste money on expensive machines, don’t waste money on gym memberships, don’t wast money on “healthy foods”. Learn how to get the sexy body you’ve always wanted and start buying the clothes you want to wear!

Scarlett Tops Breast List
Editors at In Touch magazine gave the actress' "irresistible assets" top marks in the new best-breasts list, claiming Johansson has designer Isaac Mizrahi's wandering hands to thank for her ranking on the Best Cleavage In Hollywood poll.
Magazine spokeswoman Lindsay Loderstedt explains, "It's not unusual for Scarlett Johansson to receive loads of compliments on her ample chest but the level of appreciation reached a new high at this year's Golden Globes when fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi couldn't help but reach out and touch the
21-year-old's assets during a red-carpet interview."
The Lost in Translation star beat out competition from Jessica Simpson and hot Latina Salma Hayek on the breast list.
Photos of Top Figure Competitor Simona Fusco
Born in Milan, Italy, Simona grew up in both Italy and Vienna, Austria. At the age of 14 she moved to the United States where her first "Hollywood moment" was when director Oliver Stone approached her to play the title role in LOLITA which her mother refused to let her do because of the subject matter.
Famed columnist James Bacon described this talented beauty as "the most spectacular looking blonde since Marilyn Monroe!" And who but one of a select few to photograph and interview Monroe, arguably Hollywood’s most iconic bombshell, would know better? Not too many actresses can make that claim!
Simona’s other credits include the part of ‘Ulsa’ in the hit comedy BEERFEST from the famed writing team as the ‘Broken Lizard,’ and roles in BOTTOM'S UP with Paris Hilton, CHASING GHOSTS opposite Michael Madsen and Shannon Sossaman, and a guest star spot on the hit HBO series ENTOURAGE.
Not only a silver screen beauty, Simona has been involved in the campaigns for such popular brands as Coca-Cola, BMW, Ferrari, Guess! By Marciano and Fendi for Vogue magazine among others. Simona was featured in a six-page spread in the September 2006 issue of Maxim Magazine.
Simona is a force of nature, conquering film, television, corporate campaigns and whatever else she set’s her sights on!
Bollywood's Shilpa Shetty goes into fitness business
The 32-year-old actress, who produced and stars in the video, said she made it in response to fans' questions about how she stayed fit.
"A lot of fans have asked about my fitness regime -- I think this is the best way to tell them what to do to be healthy," Shetty told reporters as she released the video in the Indian capital.
Shetty said her aim in producing the 72-minute video entitled Shilpa's Yoga, whose cover features the actress sitting cross-legged in a yoga pose, was "to make it simple for people to do yoga."
"It can be done by a 10- or 60-year-old," she said, adding yoga had a "spectacular impact" on her own life.
"It has helped my mind, body and soul," said Shetty, who also recently launched a perfume.
Shetty made the headlines last year when she won British reality show Celebrity Big Brother UK, during which she faced racist attacks by housemates.
Months later, she made news again when Hollywood actor Richard Gere showered her with kisses at an AIDS-awareness event in India.
The incident, aired on TV, sparked a firestorm in India, where chaste public behaviour is a tradition. Shetty blamed India's "lunatic fringe" for the uproar in which effigies of the pair were burned.
At Friday's news conference, Shetty denounced Bollywood's new "size zero" craze, spawned by media obsession with Indian star Kareena Kapoor's slender new figure.
"Size zero is something very unhealthy. I'm a size eight," Shetty said.
"Today fitness in India is a style statement. My idea of fitness is to be healthy. Even if I am slightly bulky, I am well-toned, I am happy," she said.
