babycakes is back! After being MIA for the past few episodes, the Television Without Pity superstar revealed today who will be eliminated in tonight’s episode.

Find out more below the jump!

It’s Sundai! All I can say is thank goodness! She’s driven me crazy since the very beginning. babycakes also confirmed that next week’s episode will have a double elimination. The “final” two is obvious and one of the best final twos we’ve had in a long time.

babycakes doesn’t say much else, but I’d put my money on Laura and Nicole being in the final two. But that’s just what I think. Who do you think babycakes is alluding to?

Everyone’s favorite ex-America’s Next Top Model judge Paulina Porizkova is taking her career in a new direction: acting! The former supermodel will have a guest role on the CBS soap As the World Turns. Paulina will be playing Clarissa, Entertainment Weekly reports.

Not much is known about the role or the character, but she’ll start appearing on the show on January 5th and her character has a mysterious past with Simon Frazier.

This isn’t the first time Paulina’s dabbled in acting. She’s had roles in movies and television shows for years. Her last acting gig was the little-known 2004 movie Knots, which co-starred John Stamos.

Rebecca Hardy, the leggy brunette who won the second cycle of Canada’s Next Top Model, has been a busy girl since taking the crown two years ago. She spared a minute during Toronto Fashion week to talk to Dose.ca.

Rebecca talks about how much her life has changed since the big win, how she feels about Meaghan Waller, the winner of Cycle 3,and what surprises her most about the fashion world. While Rebecca was repeatedly told about the long hours she’d have to put in as a working model, it didn’t hit home until she was traveling all over the world:

I would have to go back to the long hours, especially when travelling. People don’t understand that you’re on a plane to Milan, you get off your plane and you’re given a map and you have to go to 12 castings and figure it out. People don’t understand how difficult that can be, especially when there’s language barriers. It’s very difficult and that’s one of the things I found extremely, extremely hard. But diet and exercise really help with that.

I really liked Rebecca and am glad to see she’s having a busy and successful career. You can read the entire interview at Dose.ca!

Tyra Banks was recently profiled in Ocean Drive magazine. In the interview, she talks about how her talk show is growing, her love of make-up and showhouses, her new fitness regime and more.

She explains why the ANTM makeovers are now called Ty-overs (which I think is seriously stupid). “For America’s Next Top Model we’re now calling makeovers “Ty-overs” because they are my vision of what the girls should look like,” she said.

You can read the entire interview here. There’s also a slideshow with some new photos of Tyra. She looks good!

Tyra Banks dressed up as reality star and recent America’s Next Top Model judge Kim Kardashian for Halloween. The costume is hilarious, as Tyra attached oversized cardboard versions of Khloe and Kourtney to her back and tried to best to talk just like Kim. I’m impressed Tyra.

What were you for Halloween?
