Nigel Barker Gets Fired from “Top Model”

Tyra Banks announces yesterday morning that CW will no longer renew the contract of America’s Next Top Model judge Nigel Barker, along with fellow show mainstays J. Alexander and Jay Manuel.

When asked about his recent firing, Barker had some strong words to say:

“Good luck to whoever [replaces me]. I would imagine it’s a tricky thing to replace someone who’s going on their 19th season.”

The show is set to undergo a major revamp after earning a record low ratings in its last two seasons.

The Vampire Diaries Gets a Companion

Looks like fans of The Vampire Diaries is in for an early Christmas gift, as TVD writer – Kevin Williamson – will be a lot busier. Rumors has it that the CW Network is developing a “companion series” for The Vampire Diaries, and Williamson has been tapped as the writer. Furthermore, TVD executive producer, Julie Plec, is also involved in the new project. And though the project is still in its early development stage, some information were already leaked.

The new project will be an one-hour drama about a group of paranormal investigators. This companion project is being considered as a separate series, hence it isn’t likely that the TVD characters would cross over to the new show. It is also unlikely that the new pilot would air as an episode of The Vampire Diaries. Though the talks are still premature, it seems that CW is creating another potential of highly addictive TV series.
