There have always been the token "smart girls" on "America's Next Top Model," from the brainy pre-med Elyse Sewell to Yalie Victoria Marshman. But the cast of the 19th season -- sorry, cycle -- of Tyra Banks' televised modeling showdown may all be "smart girls."
This season the show is titled "America's Next Top Model: College Edition" with each girl repping her specific university. You might assume, then, that these co-eds are brighter than your average "Antm" model wannabes. But why assume when Tyra Banks has the stats on file?
When asked by Glamour whether this season's contestants are smarter than usual, Tyra responded:
"Their IQs are higher than ever. We test the IQs every year as part of our screening process. Yeah, I'm probably saying too much here. But yes their IQs are higher than ever. These are college girls."
Tyra would know, too -- she went to Harvard.

You guys, I can’t help it: I’m smizing. How could I not after hearing Tuesday’s news that the CW is launching an all-star edition of America’s Next Top Model? It’s about Ty-time. Talk about long overdue! We’ve seen all-star seasons of shows like Big Brother, The Amazing Race, Top Chef, Survivor, and So You Think You Can Dance — how has it taken this long to reunite some of Top Model’s most broken-down baby dolls?
Of course, how an all-star edition will fare will depend on which alums Top Model casts. In order to draw in viewers,...

Nudity, screaming, wipeouts, and the dawn of the André era -- but remind me again why this week's Top Model needed to be a grueling 90 minutes? It would have been (barely) permissible were it one giganto episode, but no, it was pretty plainly the ass-half of last week's also needlessly long episode, plus a full regular episode. I can't tell what's worse: that kind of cruddy last-minute patchworking, or Tyra's wrap jumpsuit with pockets. Just kidding..., of course I can tell. It was the jumpsuit. Let's do this, kids. When we left off last week, the modeltestants had just been...

Much of the press surrounding Broken Bells — the new collaboration between Brian "Danger Mouse" Burton and the Shins' James Mercer — seems to focus on the status of the duo's other projects, including whatever Burton decides to do next and, most notably, the Shins.
It's been nearly three years since the band's Wincing the Night Away bowed at #2 on the Billboard albums chart and, in the time since its release, things have been sort of, well, rocky. There was the arrest of multi-instrumentalist Marty Crandall (and his then-girlfriend, model Elyse Sewell) on domestic-violence charges in early 2008 (charges which were subsequently dropped) and then, last year, the sorta-acrimonious departure of both Crandall and drummer Jesse Sandoval, with the latter telling The Portland Mercury he was "unequivocally fired" from the group.
