I Like to Watch

It's official: "30 Rock" is the funniest new show on television. Plus: Tyra Banks' condescending clown routine reaches new heights of absurdity.

    It Was The Editor's Choice to Use the Tyra Pic

    but they didn't doctor it in any way by "adding" the ring and the horns. It's from ANTM. Every episode Tyrant has a challenge photograph of herself posted before judging just to show all the model hampsters how much more fabulous she is than any of them. The horns and ring picture was from the Bullfighting challenge.

    I do agree ANTM has been disappointing this cycle. It really seemed done on the cheap and not enough diversity among the judges and the photographers. Absolutely stupid phot shoot concepts. Nigel looks bored and acts snappy. Twiggy just takes up space and makes me long for Janice Dickenson or even Kimora Lee. Tyrants clowning, especially after the Flamenco demonstration, reminded me of the woman who used to do Ophrah impersonatioms on Mad TV, the one who was briefly on TV Watercooler I think and who was way better than Teresa Strasser of whose name I might have just butchered the spelling.
