There's an email circulating around town which suggests Jay Manuel and his miraculous hair may be leaving America's Next Top Model. Either that or network executives are offering viewers double the faggy fun.

A source close to the Tyra Banks-hosted beauty contest sent out a memo looking for a Manuel-esque, amiable, "honest" art director. Hmm, could it be that Manuel - who also produced ANTM - has decided to put all of his energies into hosting the show's Canadian counterpart? Or perhaps he's spending more time offering the lonely hearts at Match.com a little love advice?

Of course, Manuel may also just want to spend more time with his boyfriend, who he allegedly once described to Elle Girl as a "rock hard top". Ewwww...

(PS: We have searched high and low for that Elle Girl interview, but to no avail. Gay gold star to the reader who produces the revolting text.)

Watching the Oscar red carpet madness gives us such a headache. We can't keep track of who's who, what they're doing there and why we should care.

The kids over at E! were certainly no help - not only did they not seem to know the answers to those pressing questions, they didn't seem to give two shits. The complete and utter stupidity of Ryan Seacrest, Giuliana Depandi and homo extraordinaire Jay Manuel from America's Next Top Model was only eclipsed by former The View co-host Debbie Manopoulos. When asked how she stays so thin, she said "I don't eat". The duo over at ABC weren't any better and Joan and Melissa Rivers on TV Guide really couldn't hold our attention.

As hard as it may be to believe, the only person we could focus on in the celebrity cluster fuck was Sally Kirkland. Coincidentally enough, her reality defying, rabbi designed dress seems to be made from the rainbow flag. Thus, she's our Oscar patron saint.

So, round of applause for Ms. Kirkland. Crazy's never looked so good. Or so disturbing.

See some more red carpet shots, after the jump...

We know a lot of you out there watch America's Next Top Model, and we apologize for not giving it more coverage. But, to make it up to you, here's the link to an AfterEllen interview with Megan Morris (pictured), the lesbian would-be model given the boot this week.

Megan and the labia loving ladies yak about how producers glossed over her lesbianic tendencies, what makes a good photograph, and what Megan's been up to since leaving the show. Oh, and Megan also calls contestant Michelle out as a lesbian.

One particularly intriguing bit is that the straight ladies in the house seem very intrigued by lesbian sex. Morris remarks:

When I was talking to the other girls ... they were like, "Hmm, you know, I'd probably try it if I wasn’t engaged." It seemed like probably five out of the 13 girls are bi-curious!

• 7th Heaven comes to a close tonight. The least-gay television show ever, which is also the longest-running family TV drama ever, was produced by the gayest and campiest TV producer (Aaron Spelling) ever. Ever. Except those damned re-runs. Why isn't Jessica Biel in more projects? She is flawless and her portrayal of an over-coked society brat in Rules Of Attraction was genius. [Slate]

• Logo and Here! TV are a little happier now: Q Television has finally closed up shop. They haven't paid their employees in months. Why were people still going to work all this time? It's terribly upsetting to think that the four people in America who actually subscribed to Q Television will no longer be able to see The Reichen Show. Thank God we can still watch the "Perfect Body" episode on the internet! I hear Emmy chatter. [BoiFromTroy]

• Are you reading Elyse Sewell's blog? The finalist in Season One of America's Next Top Model is a brilliant writer, and her blog is a must-read. She just moved to Milan, after tearing up the Hong Kong modeling industry; someday when VH1 isn't playing a Top Model marathon, scroll through past entries and see all the snapshots of her work. Who knew that Top Models could be so succesful? And that the Top Models can actually be pleasant people. Granted, she uses LiveJournal, but we all have our flaws. [ ElyseSewell]

• More Mary Cheney on The Malcontent. We just can't get enough of that lesbian. [TheMalcontent]

• Video for tonight's episode of Top Model. We were sure Nnenna was going to win, but she was such a bitch we're glad she's gone. And as much as we love love LOVE Jade, it's all about Joanie. Ever since she said she wants to be a stay-at-home mom for a living, we've been in love. And once Tyra paid to fix those busted teeth, it was pretty clear they were thinking she might go all the way. [TopModel]

• Miu at Socialite Life thinks Heidi Klum and Seal are the best couple ever. We agree. The way Heidi's eyes light up when she talks about her hubby, it's so sweet! Ah, love. [SocialiteLife]

• Ryan Seacrest can spread his legs wider than, well, us. And that's saying a LOT. [Jossip]

• Andy Dick is a complete nightmare. First we reported on his "I steal because I'm so famous!" ways in New Orleans; now he's let loose at Coachella. [Defamer]

What a wild night TWO nights Janice "drinking has always been my problem" Dickinson had at Eastern Bloc (where Wonderbar used to be) in New York's East Village on Sunday and Monday. She apparently had such a great time getting sloshed and rubbing up on all the homos that she was reportedly returning for a third evening of fun last night. No word on that yet, but we of course have our finger on the pulse of Janice's gay-bar-hopping and you will be the first to know if we learn anything.

See some more crazy photos of a drunk, pursed-lips Janice and some gays after the jump.

This man must have balls of steel to let Janice Dickinson wave scissors around his goods like that, or maybe he is one of her newest talents. Janice, the self-proclaimed "world's first" supermodel, has opened her own modeling agency, and they are recruiting via a page on MySpace, which is supposedly maintained by Janice's "casting" team, but we suspect that Janice made it herself and checks it every day (see her busted and out-of-date website here) . So give it a shot if you live in L.A., and want to risk getting your balls chopped off by a crazy woman.

• John Kerry planning a run in 2008, too. As much as we'd love to see his wacko wife Teresa Heinz Kerry again, we'd prefer he just donate his zillions of dollars to charity instead. Note to John: George W Bush beat you. And he SUCKS. Take the hint. [Pam'sHouseBlend]

• Speaking of George: Katherine Harris, who was pretty much responsible for his 2000 victory in Florida, and therefore the entire election, is having a pool party. Who doesn't want to see her in a swimsuit? There must be someone in northeastern Florida who can send us some pictures of that one. [Wonkette]

• The Department Of Defense has been ordered to turn over all TALON espionage documents targeting gay college students. On a related note: is it just us, or do the PageOneQ people always seem to be yelling everything on their blog? They seem very feisty. [PageOneQ]

• ...and finally, Top Model recapped by our good friend Rich. Okay, it has nothing to do with politics. But it's just as important. [FourFour]

You know we love us some Tyra here at Queerty. And of course we don’t mean her dumb ass talk show, we mean America’s Next Top Model. The best part of the show, besides Miss J, is when the model/contestants try and express their ‘thoughts.’ It takes a lot to make Tyra look smart but these girls do it. Check out this video of one of the girl's named Danny. She gives Alessandra Mussolini a run for her money.

“I don't like gay people. I don't like Muslims. I don't like abortions. I don't like anything liberal. But, other than that-I really like to get along with people..."

Now that is good TV. She better thank her lucky stars Janice Dickinson is off or she’d be just a fatless carcass by now. Still, it’s going to be especially good when she has to go up and defend her statement to Miss J. Let’s just say the bitch better know how to walk – fast!

• America’s Next Top Model returns. Rich has the rundown. Our fave: Mollie Sue. [Four Four]

• We’re not down with the hanky code, but apparently Ashton Kutcher is down. [Open All Night]

• The Malin for Congress tee the hooker doesn’t want you to wear. [Custom Ink]

• You too can get shot by Dick Cheney. Bradford did. [I Got Shot By Dick Cheney]

• Do you speak the Queen’s English? We’ve found a dictionary of gay terms. [Aaron’s Gay Info]

Everyone's favorite lesbian from America's Next Top Model, Kim Stolz, chatted recently with Bradford Shellhammer about the show, what's next, and Tyra Banks.

We met at a Cyndi Lauper concert. Who are your favorite performers?
One of the best concerts I've seen this year was a band called "TV on the Radio." They played at Union Pool in Williamsburg. It was a blast. Their energy was really captivating. I also saw a great performance by Robert Smith and the Cure a couple of years ago—that sticks out in my mind. I'm just happy you're not asking me this question in 1998, when my answer would have been, undoubtedly, Ani. Ha!

Now since the show has ended, what have you been doing?
Since the show has ended, I've been trying to figure out how best to start out in both the modeling and acting worlds. I signed with a great manager, and am looking at agencies. I've been attending fabulous events, going to photo shoots, and trying to escape being a reality TV show star forever! Any ideas?

You said you might move to LA. Why?
Well in all honesty, LA is the best place to be if I want to really try to start a career as an actress. The work is there. However, I am going to try to stay in New York as long as possible. I am thinking, however, about moving to Paris sometime...

Which judge was your absolute favorite? Least favorite?
Well, even though perhaps her calm and collected attitude wasn't as good for ratings as Janice's crazy and frightening personality, I really loved getting to know Twiggy. She is one of the most beautiful, modest, helpful, and well-intentioned people I've ever met. I owe it to her I think that I stayed as long as I did. As for least favorite... I didn't really have a least favorite judge. They were all my least favorite when I got eliminated! Ha-ha. However, I was really disappointed at Miss Jay's lack of understanding for my gender expression/confusion. Shouldn't he/she understand!?

Do you read blogs? and if so, which?
I am proud to say that I certainly read Queerty. I also read Gawker, Perez Hilton, Shit Parade, and A Socialite's Life. Girl needs her gossip!

After the jump Kim dishes on the other girls.

Bradford was on Sirius Radio’s Derek & Romaine show last night with Queerty pal Kim Stolz. Topics discussed included cloned vaginas, Janice Dickinson, and who ate the granola bar. Like any good mystery, that still remains unsolved.

Anyways, thanks Sirius. Now we just need to find a way to get on Alexis Stewart and Howard Stern’s shows.
