Andre Leon Talley Out At 'America's Next Top Model,' Kelly Cutrone In?

With Tyra Banks on screen, "America's Next Top Model" will never lack for outsized personalities. But the modeling show may be losing one of its biggest personalities yet.

Page Six reports that Andre Leon Talley, Vogue editor-at-large and judge on "ANTM," will be leaving after the shoe's seventeen "cycle."

The change would come after four seasons for Talley, who carved out a space on the show with his extravagant muumuus, distinctive lingo ("dreckitude," anyone?) and generally larger-than-life presence (the man is six-foot-seven, after all).

So who could fill those shoes? Why, Kelly Cutrone, of course. The People's Revolution PR maven and reality TV vet is rumored to be Talley's replacement, writes Page Six.

While Cutrone does have plenty of experience dishing out harsh on-camera sound bytes (you don't get starring roles on two MTV reality shows and your own Bravo show without an acid tongue), we wonder if Cutrone's got the right fashion cred to be critiquing high-fashion editorial spreads.

What do you think: would Cutrone be an improvement for "America's Next Top Model" or a step in the wrong direction?

Andre will eventually pop up somewhere with a fabulous new gig. He's an icon pure and simple.

I love Andre, he has a huge heart and seems like such a blast to be around.

I sare your sentiments. To replace Andre, you would have to get someone really dynamic like Diana Ross, Patty LaBelle, fashion queens who strutted before Tyra Banks!

I say put Miss Jay back on the panel. She knows more than any of them and is side splittingly funny doing it.

ALT is the worst dressed figure in fashion. everything he wears looks like a circus tent. i'm also a big boy, and i once asked him for a solution. "Hefty Hideaway," he said, and i thought i'd been insulted. weeks later i discovered it's actually the name of a design label.

ALT is way too classy for the show.  Cutrone is a better fit.  I hope a better opportunity comes around for Mr. Talley.

The only two people associated with this show that I could bear to be around for more than five minutes are Nigel Barker and Jay Alexander.

Indeed. I think it would be a very interesting conversation. There's a lot going on there.

Gosh! That show is STILL ON? How trivial is it when someone loses a contest because they didn't take a good picture?
