Category — Make Me A Supermodel

Long time readers of this blog will no I am no prude, however this interview Tyson Beckford gave at the front of the Victoria Secret’s show where his girlfriend Shanina Shaik was walking really goes into the inappropriate/too much information category.

Tyson who is 40 years old to Shanina’s 21 years have been living together in NYC and he shared where they have sex and how. Tyson met Shanina when he was a judge on Make Me A Supermodel. Shanina was runner up on the that show when she was a teenager. On the show Shanina had had a dalliance with Tom in the house, however shortly after the show finished she moved to New York, where Tyson “mentored” her.

Check out the link to FAB and click on the video and tell me if you think Tyson is saying far too much.

Either Justin Hemmes and The X Factor judge Natalie Imbruglia have an open relationship or they are not seeing each other anymore, as apparently the hotel tycoon has been seen with Make Me A Supermodel contestant Courtney Chircop.

According to the Sunday Telegraph Courtney escorted Justin to Janusz Hooker’s wedding last week in Uluru.

Courtney came third I think in Make Me A Supermodel and was involved in a scandal in high school involving her and two other students trying to sell a video of some students and a sex act. Clearly I missed that story when it broke a few years ago.

Make Me A Supermodel winner Rhys Uhlich has hit the papers with news he was given a penalty notice for being drunk in a public place.

The Herald Sun reports Rhys was chased by police after he overturned a wheelie bin full of bottles.

The article states:

Uhlich said he was sorry for his bad behaviour.

“I was just trying to show off to my mates,” said Uhlich, who is staying at his mother’s place for the summer holiday period. “It was like, ‘Who can be the biggest d—head?’ And it was me.

“I wasn’t trying to hurt anyone, but like the police said, there were bottles on the road.”

He added that he didn’t run away from the scene in an attempt to evade police.

“I didn’t know there were cops – I just panicked because I saw a whole lot of bottles,” he said.

“When I found out there were police I was already on the ground because I fell over.

I apologised a million times over.”

Uhlich said he took full responsibility for his actions.

“Sometimes people in the public eye – I guess maybe there’s a bit of pressure and it gets too much for them and obviously they can explode, but I think that’s a poor excuse,” he said. “I’m just not going to let myself drink if I can’t handle that sort of pressure.”

Good on him for taking responsibility, but I had not realised he was still in the public eye. The article does say he is now a former teacher so he must be getting work modelling.

Clearly it is a slow news days, when Make Me A Supermodel winner, Rhys Uhlich makes the news because he nearly got taken by a bull shark.

Maybe I should show more sympathy, because it must have freaked him out, if you are interested in reading about the near miss go to the Daily Telegraph site.

Make Me A Supermodel runner-up Shanina Shaik looks like she is making a modelling career for herself overseas. She has spent the last four months in New York being mentored by Tyson Beckford. Well I hope that was all he is doing….

She appeared in a dozen New York Fashion Week shows, and appeared in an ad for hair brand Matrix. Also the Daily Tele reports a rumour that Victoria’s Secret may being interested in her. Good luck.

Her and Tom are no longer seeing each other, he has moved onto the poorer man’s version of Shanina and is seeing last year’s Australia’s Next Top Model contestant Rebecca Jobson. Previous post on that new hook up here.

There is life after reality TV for Rhys Uhlich the winner of Make Me A Supermodel as he has now got a contract with Lonsdale.

He is not the only one who has been successful since the end of the show. Shanina Shaik will be soon heading to New York to try her luck there. No news on whether Tom Penfold her now boyfriend, (who I presume has a bitter and twisted ex-girlfriend), will be going with her.

One of my readers said that Tom has been signed to Vivian’s, as has another Supermodel talent Hannah McCarthy.
