With only four ladies left, all the models (except Tranny) started to stress about their status. Whitney felt insecure having spent two weeks solid weeks in the bottom two, but felt that "America and America's Next Top Model are ready for a plus size girl." Let's hope so. Fatima is so thin it's terrifying. Speaking of food, all the girls complained about Tranny's eating habits. Apparently she eats candy and snacks all the time and when she runs out of her own food she eats other people's.

The first bit of Tyra Mail said "Take a picture, you might last longer. Love, Tyra." Finally the girls stopped trying to interpret the message and just let it be. They left for their challenge and found themselves at a park where they watched judge Paulina in a photo shoot. The (apparently) famous photographer with a hysterical heavy accent taking her pictures gave the girls a lesson in shooting photos. They practiced taking pictures of each other when Ann Shoket from Seventeen arrived to explain the challenge -- the ladies would have five minutes to shoot Paulina and they would be judged on how they worked with the model and how their photo looked.

What a ridiculous challenge. Almost anyone can take a nice photo if their camera is expensive enough. The winner would receive 50 extra frames in her shoot.

If you missed it last week (I did), here's the update -- the ladies are in Rome (insert screams here). They shot a commercial and surprise, surprise, Lauren was awful. Nothing could help that girl overcome her awkwardness. The judges criticized Whitney for acting fake. Obviously Lauren went home, so this week starts with five girls. It's starting to get down to the wire and hopefully after this season Tyra will realize the show has become a joke and never have another cycle ever again.

Fatima still thinks she rules and that it's OK to judge the other girls. She said Kat belongs behind a desk? How sweet. The girls received their first Tyra Mail (finally it's not electronic) and headed to some Roman ruins where they saw Gladiators fighting. Apparently Fatima believes violence is terrible. Boo hoo. The girls learned how to fight like Gladiators and pose at the same time. They became skilled in the art of ass kicking, but stayed tough and pretty too. They got to battle each other and Tranny and Fatima faced off. I somehow wish they could have killed each other and so wouldn't have to hear from either of them anymore. The ladies went to get changed into slutty Roman clothes (AWESOME) and when they walked out Mr. and Mrs. Jay were there to help out with the shoot.

Next year marks Conan O'Brien's replacement of Jay Leno in the Tonight Show seat, and NBC plans to insert SNL alum Jimmy Fallon as host of Late Night. So unless you want to go to sleep pissed off and thoroughly not amused by Fallon's douchenozzle antics, plan to call it a night an hour early in '09. --Oscar Pascual

The Moz doesn't show up on television very often, but when he does it's worth throwing a party over. You know, like what lame people do for episodes of American Idol. Bust out the chips and dip April 28 and 29 when Morrissey appears on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. That's right, that's two performances, so prepare extra guac.

Each week Top Model comes closer and closer to being the worst television show in the world, but I can't stop watching it. This week carried your typical formula of drama, drama and yes, more drama.

First Fatima faced a big dilemma -- she's in the United States as a refugee on a green card and lost her travel documents in Atlanta.Then Paula Porizkova came over to teach the girls how to carry themselves in public. Lesson one helped the girls practice conversing with important people and number two trained them on interviews. The moral of the story?: "Think on your feet." Later Lauren sliced her finger while cutting onions and had to visit the hospital for some stitches.

For the challenge, the girls received a big gold box with a 7Up card on top. Product placement much? They opened up the box and found it filled with lemons, limes and a card inviting them to the event hosted by Jay Godfrey and "all natural" (ha) 7Up.

It always starts with consumable goods. I thought models lived on a steady diet of coke, cigarettes and water, so why the bickering? This week, Lauren threw out the ground-y coffee Fatima made, so Fatima obviously freaked out and Lauren retaliated in all her bitchy glory. Imagine one of these ladies letting things go. Impossible. Also, who drinks coffee out of wine glasses?

Finally the Tyra mail came and read: "If you don't make it here, you won't make it anywhere. Love, Tyra." Some girls assumed that referenced Broadway, others were too exhausted to inquire.

When the girls arrived at their destination, they met with Karen Lee from Elite Models and some other model chick that no one has ever heard of. They announced the challenge -- the girls must break into two groups and using GPS phones (not cabs) they venture out on go sees.

Group 1 (Claire, Stacy Ann, Whitney, and Dominique) visited Pamella Roland who informs Whitney that plus size won't work in her runway show. Instead of being sensitive, Dominique seemed amused by Whitney's struggle and anticipated her leaving. Meanwhile Group 2 (Katarzyna, Anya, Lauren, and Fatima) visited Shoshanna Gruss and model swim wear. The groups switch and Claire kissed Gruss' ass while Whitney received positive attention because the line advocates for a variety of figures on the runway. Way to represent all the ladies!

Remember when we said that film director David Fincher is working on his vision of Heavy Metal? Looks as though Matt Stone and Trey Parker have beat Fincher to the punch with tonight's South Park episode. According to an SP staffer, the eipisode is titled "Major Boobage," which should be Heavy Metal's subhead anyway. Here's hoping the episode's soundtrack rocks just as hard as the O.G. film. -- ASD Staff Report

Even if I had Top Model potential I'd rather do just about anything than be on the show. The house seems consistently plagued with drama and every girl starts to doubt herself on network television. This week Lauren expressed again that she has confidence issues in panel. Duh. She's the most awkward girl there. She claimed "it's a huge inner struggle that I'm going to have to go through." Already with the drama.

Then Claire made a teary eyed phone call to her husband. Apparently her baby is teething and Claire cries every time she thinks about her kid. I have to ask, what kind of mother just up and leaves like that? She does! Though she says "I'd be cheating my daughter if i didn't go for my dreams. "She still has a particular fondness for discussing breast milk (as we learned in episode one), but tonight we learned her milk is starting to dry up.

Get ready for more unorthodox hilarity, as Variety reported that HBO has picked up a new show from David Cross and Bob Odenkirk of Mr. Show fame. Titled David's Situation, the show stars Cross as himself and will be directed by Odenkirk. Sounds more Curb Your Enthusiasm than Mr. Show to me. -- ASD Staff Report

The advent of TiVo and DVRs made it possible to skip through all those pesky commercials so you can watch your favorite programs in peace. Those programs could get very annoying and obnoxious very soon, as execs for CBS show The Apprentice are being championed for introducing integrated ads to their program. Last I checked, this practice was called product placement, and it always pissed me off when I watched movies or TV and some character took time to enjoy a Pepsi for no good reason. Although it makes sense to have corporate entities involved on The Apprentice since it's about douchebags trying to make ridiculous amounts of money, this trend could very likely turn every TV program into epic commercials. How will your precious TiVo help you then? -- Oscar Pascual

Although the project for a Beverly Hills, 90210 spinoff has yet to be greenlit, reports have surfaced that reveal details about the script and casting. Apparently the show's characters have no relation to the previous cast save for the fact that the main character went to the same high school...in 1980. That, and two teen characters share the same last name as Brian Austin Green's character, David Silver. So expect a spinoff that has absolutely nothing to do with 90210 aside from the location. -- ASD Staff Report

Reports from Variety say that Comedy Central's current production pool includes an animated Snoop Dogg series. The cartoon will be based on Snoop's teenage life in 1980s Long Beach, way back when hardly any words were modified with the suffix "-izzle." Other projects include shows from Andy Richter and David Alan Grier, as well as a sketch comedy program by The State/Stella dudes Michael Showalter and Michael Ian Black. -- ASD Staff Report

Usually during the beginning of Top Model I'm so concerned about what ridiculous stuff Tyra will do that I never really payed attention to the intro. Essentially it has Ms. Banks and the rest of the ladies dressed up like old school prostitutes and slutting around the screen. How awkward and uncalled for. The sad part is, from the intro it only gets worse. It seems this season of ANTM the CW feels so compelled to produce absurd television that they've turned it into a total freak show.

This week the ladies' first challenge began at a firehouse. After watching how quickly firefighters changed into their uniforms to go do their thang, the girls had to try it themselves. Only, their idea of firefighting clothes consisted of short black shorts, a white button up, suspenders, a hat and heinous clog-ish boots (or at least they were supposed to look like boots). Fatima missed the shoes and Ms. Jay seemed less than pleased. They practiced their runway walks and almost everyone sucked, but Stacy-Ann felt more than pleased to have firefighters watching her. Shouldn't they be saving people instead of watching runway shows on tax payers dollars? On the way home Amy called the shower (she doesn't like to shower with other girls) and mass drama ensued. Eventually Whitney (plus size babe) got involved, and Dominique (Fergie/Tranny) got angry. She called Whitney "not cultured" and "young." Them's fightin' words.

Style doesn't always come from a fashion magazine or a high end designer. However, the inspiration has to come from somewhere. There are style icons (Gwen Stefani), music scenes (gothic industrial), eras ("hippie-chic"), even films (SLC Punk) that serve as the foundation for fashions. However, sometimes tendencies towards particular trends form more as a result of feeling than aesthetic qualities. Let me explain.

Angela Chase ("My So Called Life") serves one of my style icons. I firmly believe no one else can pull off baby doll dresses (both plaid and velvet), over sized flannels or big boots quite like she can. In my mind she coined the feminine with a bad ass edge statement. From the moment she colored her hair that abrasive shade of red (much to her mother's dismay) she became a new person. Everything she said or did seemed so enormously powerful and tough, yet tenderly vulnerable. When I was younger I simplified my fascination with Angela to assuming it was just her style I like. Now I understand it wasn't the way she tied her flannels around her waist or the bizarre shades of lip gloss she wore. Angela represented so much more than mixing patterns, she served as a symbol for my adolescence.

SF's favorite toy boutique is now taking on your favorite block of late-night television. Kidrobot recently announced an upcoming line of Adult Swim toys slated for release in April. The line features characters from Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Metalocalypse, Robot Chicken, and lots more. But sadly, no Boondocks figures. I would've loved a PVC miniature of A Pimp Named Slickback. -- ASD Staff Report
