NBC Cancelled Fashion Star

One of my favorite shows, Fashion Star, a fashion competition show that let aspiring designers compete to have their designs sold in stores like Macys, Saks and Express, has sadly been cancelled.

The show fell downhill after the first season ended and the host Elle Macpherson and H&M left the show. They were replaces by Louise Roe and Express for the second season.

While filming season two, the show's crew went on a picket strike for pension and health benefits.


Although this show is now off the air, we still can look forward to Rihanna's new fashion competition show, "Styled to Rock" on the Style network.

Tyra Banks Kicks ANTM Co-Stars to the Curb

Cycle 19 of Americas Next Top Model will be the start of a new era for the show. Nigel, Miss J (J. Alexander), and Jay Manuel have all lost their jobs on the show, as reported by Page Six.

Nigel Barker was the photographer & permanent judge, while Miss J was the runway trainer, as well as a judge. Jay Manuel played a role as the show's creative director. Each of them have been on the show since the beginning, in 2003.

It's being said that the producers are looking to bring in fashion bloggers & insiders with a strong web presence.

Executive producer Ken Mok said in a statement: 

“Nigel Barker, Jay Manuel and J. Alexander have been an integral part of the ‘America’s Next Top Model’ brand and they helped turn this show into the household name it is today. They have been amazing assets to the show and will always be a part of the ‘Top Model’ family. We will continue to actively work with each of them on future projects.”

Even though I haven't watched Top Model in a few seasons, I'm still a fan of the show. Tyra really has huge shoes to fill, I'm not sure fashion bloggers are going to be as knowledgeable as these professionals. But, who knows? New faces might be exactly what this show needs!

June Ambrose set to star in her own reality show?!

   Word on the street is that (one of my favorites) celebrity stylist June Ambrose will be the next to have her own show set to air on Vh1. Being a stylist for 15+ years, June has styled just about any hot celebrity you can think of (Jay-Z, Mariah Carey, Chrisette Michelle & Missy Elliot.) She has the perfect personality for tv. When I saw her doing the red carpet for the BET Soul Train awards, I was so excited to see someone with a sense of style & not just a random person on the carpet. Although I don't really like Vh1's shows, I'm really excited to see this show.

   Rumor has it that June will be giving a behind the scenes look at her world of fashion & motherhood. Her show is right on time, since Rachel Zoe is out on maternity leave from her Bravo show.
