The Jays — that's Mister and Miss, to you — of America's Next Top Model fame are branching out. J. Alexander and Jay Manuel have signed on to star in their very own makeover show called Operation Fabulous. I guess Operation Fierce would have been too obvious. The duo will travel the country and use their style know-how to assist fashion victims. How nice of them. [Us]

Tyra Banks wouldn't be Tyra if she didn't have former ANTM contestant Bianca Golden on her show to talk about that crazy, highly publicized brawl between her family and the family of Nikki Blonsky, who starred in the latest Hairspray movie, at the Turks & Caicos airport. Golden gave her version of the story, which is basically that Blonsky's family went crazy and put her mom in the hospital (the last part is a fact). The new motto for Turks & Caicos should be "Where Sort-of-Famous People Go to Lose Their Minds." [People]

Why, oh, why? I couldn't have been the only one watching last night's America's Next Top Model with alternating looks of horror and confusion on my face. The whole Snow White theme of the makeover show was nonsensical, ridiculous, and, in true Tyra form, self-indulgent at the expense of quality. Thematically, this show is all over the place. I continue to watch, nevertheless. It's like a drug. If you missed it the makeover scenes, or would like to relive them, check out the video after the jump.

There must be a lot of pressure to show up looking particularly fabulous to a party honoring the Us Weekly's 25 Most Stylish New Yorkers, especially when, like Cassie, you're on the list. The pressure might have gotten to a couple of people, particularly Danity Kane's Aubrey O'Day. But that's probably because she should never have been on the list to begin with.

Tyra Banks is many things good and bad, but one of the things she isn't is one of the top 25 most stylish New Yorkers. Try telling that to Us Weekly. The editors there thought she deserved a place of honor on their annual list, which also includes Cassie, Gayle King, John Legend, Tiki Barber, and stylist June Ambrose.

Click through for a look at some of Tyra's stylish moments.

Never one to turn down a photo opp or a party in her honor, Tyra Banks, along with Rachel Zoe and Rachel Roy, celebrated her Harper's Bazaar cover in NYC last night. I'm sure you remember it. Also, ANTM premiered last night. Who watched?

Let's face it. You haven't really made it until sculptors at Madame Tussauds are inspired to make creepy wax statues — that sort of look like you and sort of don't — for tourists to pose for pictures with.

Better late than never. Tyra Banks invited an army of black models old and young — From Pat Cleveland and Beverly Johnson to Chanel Iman and Selita Ebanks — to her show to celebrate Vogue Italia's all-black issue. It goes without saying that Naomi Campbell wasn't in attendance, right?

Because hours upon hours of gazing at computer screens have finally rendered me completely unable to read, I somehow interpreted this Page Six item to mean that Tyra Banks was dressing up Michelle Obama for Harpers Bazaar instead of dressing up as her for a shoot in the magazine. The latter definitely makes more sense. I'm relieved for Michelle Obama.

Now onto Tyra's "potential first lady" spread. She was not born with an internal foolishness censor, was she? And because she wouldn't be Tyra without giving a bit of interesting advice, she offered Michelle Obama these kind words of wisdom in the accompanying article:

I want [Michelle Obama] to not take herself too seriously. She’d need to know how to take a fierce picture, but at the same time be able to eat fried chicken, have grease on her fingers, and be okay with getting photographed like that, too.

The end. More pics after the jump.

Things I love about Madame Tussaud's new wax Tyra:

• She is in a perpetual state of smiling with her eyes.

• She can't talk.

• There is about 50 percent less hair on her head than usual.

• She's motionless, therefore unable to molest hapless celebrities who come within her reach.

• She can't talk.

Tyra Banks' dramatic, long, Barbie wig at the Daytime Emmy Awards Sunday has a lot of folks talking about Tyra's hair habits over the years. Glamour did a retrospective. Here's my extended version (you get a hair and dating retrospective — remember Seal and John Singleton?). Around the 2001 mark, "hair" begins to permanently take on an entirely new meaning.
