Sophie, Laura and Annaliese

America’s Next Top Model‘s 18th cycle is down to its final three contestants: Laura, Sophie and Annaliese. This cycle brought a new flavor to the ANTM series. Subtitled British Invasion, they gave our friends from across the pond on Britain’s Next Top Model a second chance to win the title against aspiring new American hopefuls. With a season full of crazy makeovers, house drama and model walk-offs, this could be considered America’s Next Top Model’s most insane season yet, but who will walk off the runway with the biggest prize in Top Model history?

According to ANTM official page, the winner will receive “a career-launching prize package: a modeling contract with LA/NY Models, a chance to be a guest correspondent on the hit newsmagazine EXTRA, a fashion spread in Vogue Italia and the cover and spread in Beauty In Vogue, the face of AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL perfume Dream Come True, a single to be released with CBS and a $100,000 contract with CoverGirl cosmetics.”

In a preview for the big episode, Annaliese comments, “I’m the total underdog, no one expects me to win.” Laura, the last American standing is determined to represent her stars and stripes: “I want it so bad, I can’t go home.” But by the looks of the preview, a disaster-potential princess photo shoot might not leave Laura with the fairytale ending she is hoping for.

America’s Next Top Model airs on Wednesdays at 9/8c on the CW. This episode will surely leave ladies and gentlemen on the edge of their seat asking Tyra’s famous tagline: Who will become America’s Next Top Model?

Tom Gabel

31-year-old Tom Gabel is a rock star. He sings for Against Me! An angsty punk rock band from Florida, and can certainly score all the “a little too heavy on the make up” girls just as he is. But according to an interview in Rolling Stone Magazine the only problem is that he doesn’t quite like who he is, so Mr. Gabel has officially announced that he is becoming a woman. His new name will be Laura Jane Grace. more…

There is something beautiful that a traditional 72 rotation per minute album provides that a digital copy can ever replace. What that “something” is, is totally unidentifiable.

However, there are three basic reasons why albums have become the fastest growing physical music medium of 2012 (sales are up nearly 25 percent from last year).

The old and new Spider-Men

It is hard to believe that it has been 10 years since the first Spider-Man movie came to theaters.

The Spider-Man trilogy in which he starred actually grossed about $2.5 billion worldwide, but it’s a new decade and this comic franchise is being rebooted with a new director and cast. more…

Nadya Suleman

I was minding my own business on the Huffington Post when I found out that Octomom is shooting a porn movie, and is “very excited about it”. You know with a heading like that, I had to click on it to see what it was really about. My heart skipped a beat as I asked myself two questions: what is she wearing in that photo shoot? And since when does a mother of eight have time to get naked in front of a camera? more…
