Harvard-educated Tyra Banks is returning with an 18th cycle of Top Model.
For its 18th cycle, "America's Next Top Model" is hosting a British invasion. Seven American girls will compete side-by-side with seven imports from "Britain's Next Top Model."
Kelly Cutrone joins the judges panel for ANTM, and guest judges for this cycle include singer Kelly Osbourne , reality star Kris Jenner , singer Estelle , fashion designer Georgina Chapman, "So You Think You Can Dance" host Cat Deeley, former Pussycat Doll Jessica Sutta, model Beverly Johnson, designer Barney Cheng and more.
We cannot wait to see all the "British" things Tyra Banks incorporates. We hope she does every elimination in a cockney accent - "I only 'ave one pitcher in moi 'and."
