What is it with Tyra Banks and keeping other former models on her America’s Next Top Model judging panel? First Janice Dickinson, then Twiggy, and now Paulina Porizkova have all come and gone. Paulina told Craig Ferguson on his show that she was in Los Angeles because she was looking for a job after being fired from Top Model on her birthday… ouch. What happened? Here’s her story:

“[Who fired me] doesn’t matter, somebody fired me,” Porizkova said when Ferguson asked if Top Model host Tyra Banks had been the person to let her know she was being fired. According to Porizkova, she was fired over the phone.

“But the reason I was fired, just to be fair here, the reason I was told I was fired was because, it seemed that America’s Next Top Model had gotten too fat and they needed to cut some fat and the fat was me,” Porizkova told Ferguson.

“So I figured it was either that — I think that was a nice way of putting it and it could have been either that or my gigantic huge ego, which I wasn’t aware of before I was told by the producers that I have an ego problem.”  …”I didn’t either,” Porizkova told Ferguson when he said he never thought she had an ego problem. ”But Tyra… I really believe that just felt they didn’t need me, which of course they don’t, so that’s okay.”

Well, she’s got a lot more credibility on that panel than “Miss Jay” AKA Jay Alexander, but then again, he/she is not a threat to Tyra. Perhaps the show should have considered that when they did the “fat trimming”. Isn’t it ironic they used that terminology when they are filming a season with girls of all shapes and sizes… Hmmmm.

Tyra Banks is ridiculous and hopefully everyone jumps off her bandwagon soon. Sure seems like SHE’s the one with the ego problem!
