Top Model Dumps Paulina and Her "Huge Ego"
Tue., May. 12, 2009 6:21 PM PDT by Natalie Finn
Apparently Tyra Banks doesn't want to share the top with Paulina Porizkova anymore.
The '80s-era supermodel revealed Tuesday that she has been booted from her judge's post on America's Next Top Model, which wraps up its 12th cycle on Wednesday.
"Listen, do you know why I am in Los Angeles? Because I am looking for a job," Porizkova informed Craig Ferguson when the Late Late Show host inquired about her latest TV gig. "Because I was fired by America's Next Top Model on my birthday."
That would put the firing—which happened via telephone call, she said—on April 9.
"The reason I was told I was fired was because, it seemed, that America's Next Top Model has gotten too fat and they needed to cut some fat and the fat was me," Porizkova said during her interview, which airs tonight on CBS.
"So I figured it was either that or my gigantic huge ego. Which I wasn't aware of until I was told by the producers that I have an ego problem."
Meow.
Porizkova joined ANTM for cycle 10 after longtime judge Twiggy left due to scheduling conflicts
