Catwalk Catfight Coming? Naomi Campbell Ready To Catch Fade With Model Co-Star Coco Rocha

Looks like Naomi is at it again! Via Page Six reports : A catfight has erupted behind the scenes of Naomi Campbell’s catwalking-competition show, “The Face.” Sources tell Page Six that Campbell and co-hosts Coco Rocha and Karolina Kurkova are bickering backstage while shooting the upcoming Oxygen series, leaving Nigel Barker as mediator. “Nigel is the only one who gets along with everyone,” said a spy. “He’s been left as the host and the referee. You’ve got three models, all at different stages of their careers and different ages, and they are really not getting along. It’s a competition show, and none of them are used to losing.” Another source says of the infamously tetchy Campbell: “Naomi doesn’t have to have a reason not to like somebody. She just doesn’t like certain people.” The source adds that Rocha’s goody-two-shoes personality and Campbell’s bad-girl swagger clash like oil and water, and that the younger Rocha’s the odd model out in the mix. “There were some issues with Coco being on time and Naomi not being on time and Coco getting annoyed,” a spy said. “Coco’s a Jehovah’s Witness, and she believes in being correct and polite and being on time. She doesn’t drink. She’s super straight-laced. So it’s been a real mess between [Coco and Naomi].” Barker was overheard talking about the squabbling on the show, which debuts in February, at an Edeyo Foundation benefit at Pink Elephant to send holiday gifts to children in Haiti. Barker and Kurkova have both tried to remain neutral, like the show’s “Switzerland,” a spy says, but Campbell’s made it difficult not to pledge allegiance to her. “Karolina knows how to deal with Naomi. She’s known her for a longer time,” the source says. “Coco clearly knows Naomi doesn’t like her. Naomi’s tough. If you are not kissing her a$$, you are dead.” Campbell tweeted ominously yesterday: “I don’t need a certain number of friends, just a number of friends I can be certain of.” A rep for Oxygen declined to comment. You can watch a trailer for the show where Naomi is calling folks “idiot” and such below: Will you be watching? WENN

America’s Next Top Model Shake-Up: Who’s Out?

Hmmm…. upon second thought, perhaps we should change the headline of this post to: America’s Next Top Model Shake-Up: Who is NOT Out? Indeed, Tyra Banks has cleaned house at her long-running reality show, firing three veteran personalities, all of whom have been with the series since its first cycle in 2003: J. Alexander, who served as a runway trainer/mentor to the models. Jay Manuel, the show’s creative director. Nigel Barker, a photographer/panelist. America’s Next Top Model is currently in its 18th season, a cycle dubbed “British Invasion” because it features a handful of international hopefuls. An ANTM insider tells The New York Post that “major changes” are planned for the following season, hence this wholesale changes. “Nigel Barker, Jay Manuel and J. Alexander have been an integral part of the America’s Next Top Model brand and they helped turn this show into the household name it is today,” Executive producer Ken Mok said in a statement. “They have been amazing assets to the show and will always be a part of the Top Model family. We will continue to actively work with each of them on future projects.”
