André Leon Talley is out. Kelly Cutrone will soon be in.
There's been a judging shake-up on America's Next Top Model, all sides confirm, as the fashion publicist who appeared on The Hills will join the panel for cycle 18 next year.
"I am a huge fan of America's Next Top Model and have watched the show for years," says Cutrone, who owns People's Revolution. "Having worked in various aspects of the fashion industry over the course of my career, I am excited for this new opportunity and hope to bring a different perspective to the show."
Talley will exit after four seasons on the show, and with nary a hard feeling, based on the following statement he released this morning:
"I had a great ride and will always consider my experience with Top Model one of the best moments of my life. Tyra is an incredible role model and I learned so much sitting next to her through four cycles."
The show kicked off its first-ever All-Star season a couple weeks ago.
