America's Next Top Model is coming back with a bang — and a new cast! Joining the panel is Rita Ora, who is replacing Tyra Banks … Tyra will still serve as an executive producer on the show, but will no longer judge. Crying yet? Other new judges include plus-size model Ashley Graham, Law Roach, and Drew Elliott, and guests this year will include Amber Rose, because modeling can be skanky, too. French Montana's also gonna be there, because why not add a little more sleaze? And last, an innocuous Zendaya … among others.

French Montana, DJ Khaled, Rita Ora … it's like this show is turning into a Keeping Up With the Kardashians spinoff. And no, that's not a good thing. Check out the video below for all of the upcoming drama on this season's America's Next Top Model . If you're looking for drama and theatrics, forget Broadway … simply check out this trailer, because man oh man … it is sincerely stomach-churning in its exposé on “real life” models.
Yes, French Montana and Iggy Azalea are dating . They have rebounded from Khloe Kardashian and Nick Young, respectively, by finding comfort in one another. But it was the joy these stars found this week with a pair of elephants that have gotten them in serious trouble across the Internet. Allow us to explain… In honor of Montana turning 32 years old this week, the rapper did what anyone turning 32 years old would do: He had an elephant delivered to his backyard so that he could pose alongside the animal and also pose the animal alongside the fake elephant that is constantly featured on his property. “I love animals more than people!!” Montana wrote as a caption to the above image. “Happy b-day to me. Positive vibes at the Casa.” Regarding the similar pose and picture below, the artist added: “Turn your life to a life time vacation. Grinded all day so I can ball tomorrow. B-day officially here all praise due to the most high. #freemaxb #foreverchinx.” Okay, sure. Cool. Whatever. #freemaxb #foreverchinx, absolutely. Azalea also got in on the elephant act, looking amazed and curious when it came to the animal’s impressive trunk: But many critics on the Internet weren’t remotely amazed by these actions and by the overall decision to drag an elephant into Montana’s birthday celebration. One user summed up the problem very well. “French, if you love them, you wouldn’t take part in this kind of attraction,” this Instagram followers wrote, explaining: “They torture the elephants from a young age to discipline them into performing and performing tricks on command. Please don’t support this!” A multitude of Azalea’s fans also lashed out at the “Fancy” musician, writing for instance: “Elephants don’t deserve abuse! Elephants shouldn’t be hired out for a party!” There’s even talk in some circles of a boycott to prove to these artists that they crossed a line of decency: Montana took these comments in stride, considered them and reacted in a fair and understanding manner. No, wait. Sorry. We meant to write the exact opposite of those words. “Shut yo ass up,” French Tweeted to his critics. “That elephant was a surprise for my b-day in my yard when I walked out, and was from the zoo and people that take care of it.” This is the same person who once posed with a machine gun and a bottle of champagne . So we’re not exactly shocked by his response here. What do you think of this controversy? Should it be one? Did French and Iggy do anything wrong? Or is this much ado over nearly nothing?
Well, it looks like Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna are back together. Actually, we should say as of this writing , Rob and Blac are back together. They could very well be broken up again by the time you read this. Anyway, in case you’ve fallen behind on the ongoing soap opera that is the ChyRo relationship, there was some drama last week surrounding Blac’s baby shower . Or rather, we should say, the baby shower in honor of Blac’s forthcoming child that Blac wasn’t invited to. Man, you really have to be careful about how you word things with these two. But yes, the Kardashian-Jenner clan apparently decided to host a baby shower without inviting the mom. Rob got pissed and posted Kylie Jenner’s phone number online because he’s a really mature dude and a pro when it comes to conflict resolution. Apparently, once things settled down a bit, Rob decided a healthier way of making things right would be to host his own baby shower for Blac. Of course, Rob’s not big on moderation and the middle path, so he didn’t just throw any baby shower. He throw the most lavish, bonkers baby shower in history! According to TMZ, the party featured a 7 layer cake, belly dancers and a Louis Vuitton diaper bag for Chyna. Rob reportedly didn’t invite any of his sisters. He did, however, make a point of inviting their exes. Scott Disick and French Montana were in attendance, which probably had more to do with Rob issuing a giant eff you to his sisters than with his fondness for Scott or French. Naturally, the whole thing was filmed for Rob and Blac’s reality show. There was a time when it looked like Rob’s reclusive ways would threaten the series, as he reportedly failed to show up for several planned filming sessions. So every time Rob comes out of his hole for the next few weeks, it should go without saying that there’s a camera in his face. Kris Jenner is not about to let her son’s mental illness get in the way of those sweet, sweet E! checks.
