Tyra Banks has returned to ‘America’s Next Top Model’ and it appears that she’s bringing some major names with her.

Dwindling ratings saw the show brought to an end in 2016 after 22 cycles, but before then the series made headlines when fan favorites Nigel Barker, Miss Jay Alexander, and Jay Manuel were all let go in 2012.

Despite a number of new names being introduced to the mix, viewership continued on a downward trend – eventually bringing about the cancellation announcement.

A revival on VH1 this year saw ‘ANTM’ reimagined with Rita Ora as host and an all new panel of judges.

But with Banks back in the saddle for the next iteration of the show’s return, it appears nostalgia is the name of the game.

For, this week Barker, Alexander, and Manuel took to social media to share shots of them “reunited.” Coincidence? We think not.

Commenting on the pics, Alexander wrote:

“First there was Naomi, Linda, and Christy.? Now this Trio back together catwalking on New York City Streets can only mean one thing hmmmmmmmmmm…? Trouble..!”

Barker, who upon leaving joined Naomi Campbell‘s rival show ‘The Face,’ added:

“Reunited and it feels so… about time we brought the band back together don’t you think?”

Excited? We are.

Sure ‘ANTM’ hasn’t produced another Eva, Yaya, Tocarra, and more in a while, but this particular line-up made for an engaging watch.

We’re all for the throwback. Are you?

Since joining the series in its third season, Phaedra Parks has used her platform on ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta‘ to raise awareness for a number of societal ills.

Praised for her continued efforts to solve the Flint Water Crisis among many other crises while on the show, Parks now finds that she is the one in need of help after unconfirmed reports claimed she had booted from the series.

How its fans has received this news?

Poorly, and they’ve taken to Twitter to lambast the unconfirmed report with hopes it will see the altruistic attorney retain her position.

Cast and crew, from past seasons and present, assembled to turn up – including John Morton and Khandi Alexander (who play Papa and Mama Pope respectively).

News that Phaedra Parks has been fired from ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ has been heightened by a digital move made by the attorney.

Another couple bites the dust and this time it’s Mariah Carey and dancer Bryan Tanaka.

According to TMZ, the couple have gone their separate ways and the climate is far from pleasant.

The reasons, per Mimi sources, centre on alleged jealousy.

Our sources say Bryan had unbridled fury over Mariah’s relationship with ex-hubby Nick Cannon. She’s been chummy with him for sure, mostly for the benefit of their twins. They vacation as a family and go to dinner and parties together, sometimes without the kids. We’re told it drove Bryan insane.

We’re told Bryan would lash back at her by flirting and even coming onto women in plain view of Mariah.

The last straw came at the Kids’ Choice Awards last month, when Nick and Mariah took the twins. We’re told Bryan felt the display “disrespected” him and during the event he demanded she come home.

The report adds that the 47-year-old star also felt Tanaka slid in to her life conveniently following her split from fiance James Packer. She’s also said to have become fed up of funding his lifestyle.

Although, we’re scratching our heads at those claims as she wasn’t forced into anything.

***********

We can’t pretend that we cared much for this showmance. In many ways, like much of Mariah’s antics of late, the whole thing was an embarrassment for all involved. Like, who can forget that catastrophically cringe “scene” on ‘Mariah’s World’?

Hopefully the changes she’s making in her private life roll into her professional endeavours too, because that most certainly needs a number of tweaks.
