Niki Taylor and Tyson Beckford were on hand at the NBC Experience store yesterday doing some promotion for their new show “Make Me A Supermodel.” And while it may seem like just another modeling competition, Beckford says it’s on a new level, pitting girls against guys.
The male model told press, “That’s what attracted me to the show. I was like, ‘OK. That’s cool. I get to represent for the guys.’ It also gives guys an opportunity because it’s rougher for us in this business, because it is a woman’s business and we’re definitely lucky to be even in the same business with women.”
We've got another reality show about modeling on our hands. Bravo's "Make Me A Supermodel" premieres on January 10. Hosts Tyson Beckford and Niki Taylor (remember her?) will judged which one out of a group of male and female models will be elevated to the status of actual "supermodel". Does Janice Dickinson know about this? That ho is always crowing that she was the original supermodel. Shouldn't she decide? Tyson and Niki are stressing that this show is a little more realistic than Ty Ty's "America's Next Top Model", and that there won't be any wacky challenges. Most of the challenges are in a "real work environment," says Beckford. The show is structured like "American Idol", wherein America chooses who stays and goes. When asked which judges they would be compared to from "Idol", Tyson responded that he's "the Simon" and Niki is "sweeter". "I'm Paula!" she exclaims. You're gonna be in a K-hole at the judging table and batting imaginary bugs off your arms, telling everyone what a gift you are? I'm watching this show, then. Oh, and in response to our headline, the answer is a resounding "no".

Every day you hear a few oddball stories. They’re great water cooler fodder – but the really odd ones are normally about people you’ve never head of. Some guy in Oregon gets his hand eaten off by a wild squirrel. A 74-year-old lady in England walks 384 miles naked. To be fair, you do hear some almost unbelievable stories about Britney Spears, but she’s the exception to the rule. Well Britney and Mike Tyson. Mike’s life is almost impossible to follow anymore. I tried looking up his criminal history on Wikipedia and found myself so overwhelmed that I’m not even going to bother any of you with it. It won’t help your turkey go down any faster. Mike’s currently doing a one day stint in the slammer after pleading guilty to cocaine possession and driving under the influence. Tough punishment, I know. Before you’re filled with righteous indignation as I (almost) was, take note: Mike has been forced to wear pink undergarments in jail. By the sheriff. Do you think the guy is trying to encourage prison rape? Because I thought sheriffs were supposed to prevent crimes.
The final humiliation for the one-time “baddest man on the planet” came yesterday courtesy of Joe Arpaio, the self-styled toughest sheriff in America who believes pink has a psychological calming effect. Mr. Arpaio, who has vowed to make an example of law-breakers in Phoenix, Arizona, also obliged the former heavyweight boxing champion to wear pink underwear under his prison stripes.
Unsurprisingly, 41-year-old Tyson - who had been jailed for a day after admitting charges of possessing cocaine and driving under the influence - looked anything but amused when he reported to Tent City, an infamous open-air jail near a dog pound and a rubbish dump. The sentence, on top of 360 hours of community service, followed the fallen fighter’s arrest in his BMW after leaving a nightclub last Christmas.
But it could have been worse. Had Tyson, who has served prison terms for rape and assault, been jailed for longer he might have had to endure another of Mr Arpaio’s pet punishments - the chain gang.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio pretty much spits in the face of the concept of restorative justice. And I have to say that, when it comes to Mike Tyson, I’m cool with that. So when your family is squabbling this Thanksgiving and you’re sitting there wondering if it’s cool to fake an illness and/or jump out a window just to get the hell away, and it seems like you will never experience happiness or joy in your life again (is that just me?) think of Mike Tyson in his pink lacies, and remember that there is still good in the world.

So Mike Tyson served his time for his Arizona DUI bust. In pink panties! He's been incarcerated at Tent City, an infamous Arizona open-air jail. Hope there's an abundance of razorwire and chopper patrol. Tent City is run by Sherrif Joe Arpaio, who is famous for forcing the inmates to wear pink underwear and socks so they're humilated as well as jailed. Arpaio feels pink has a "calming effect". Hah! Sick! More like Trannie City! And it's located near a dog pound, and a town dump. So I assume it smells like love. Tyson was pulled over last Christmas for driving under the influence after leaving a nightclub. Brain trust had coke on his dashboard. Tyson spent only one day in jail, but also has to complete 360 days of community service. I'd rank on him some more for having to wear panties and maybe a bra, but seriously, he eats people. Like , literally eats people's ears. Anyway,I like my ears, and he's dumb, crazy and vicious. Bad combo.

Fresh off of a breakup with now ex, Justin “Bobby”, Audrina started off what would become a marathon Thursday with appearances at the People’s Choice Awards nomination ceremony and Motorola’s 9th annual anniversary party.
