Tyra Banks was and vulnerable when she testified in the NYC trial of a man accused of stalking her. A lawyer for Brady Green, 39, claims his client is just an "overzealous fan" and that he's just reaching out to her, the way Banks tells fans on her website. However, a staffer for the Tyra Banks Show didn't appreciate Green's way of reaching out: A producer claims that Green threatened to slit his throat because he refused to give him the address of the studios. Green, who has sent flowers and made numerous calls, managed to find the studios anyway and was arrested when he went into an unsanctioned area. Banks said, "I don't live that kind of sheltered, protected life. I like to walk around my neighborhood...[But now] I fear the safety of my staffers. I fear the safety of my family. I fear the safety of people in my vicinity." FWIW, the courtroom sketch of Banks is amazing—you can just tell she's smiling with her eyes.

Who knew digestionally-challenged spitfires who smile with their eyes could throw such a big fit? Take, for example, the open casting call for America's Next Top Model in Manhattan over the weekend. According to reports, "after an overheated car drove past the queue of aspiring models" on Saturday, prompting one of the mental giants in line to shout, “there’s a bomb!” And then? Thousands of applicants panicked and rushed away from the car, causing this mini stampede.

Thank God. Really, thank you, God. Since it's next to impossible to remove producer and star Tyra Banks from America's Next Top Model -- we understand the difficulty in smiting a soul that clearly sprang forth from ninth circle of hell -- at least you have the mercy to replace the sweetly boring Twiggy with the exotic and more straight-heterosexual-male-friendly Paulina Porizkova.(Yay!) Now that the show has been reduced from a grotesque display of jarring anorexia to that of an inane, feel-good beauty pageant, we hope this move makes a dent in the direction that this show has taken. (Models going green? A cigarette-free Top Model house? Just vile.)

Walking on stage dressed in school boy suits, that would suggest that these five band members are in Harry Potter's entourage, we suddenly knew we were in for something special. The colors of their suits, black and white, did not match with their in-your-face, loud, rock-star sound. Chris Dangerous (Christian Grahn), the drummer, took the stage first. With his face, but mostly his eyes (Tyra Banks would be proud), Dangerous would look at different spots...

After reading her porn-for-women article in O Magazine, a clearly horny Tyra Banks invited former SFist contributor Violet Blue to be a panelist on the Tyra Banks Show (think the Oprah Winfrey Show, but unwatchable) to chat about porn for women. Although a rich and thoughtful tet-a-tet was not to had during filming, thanks to the titular host, Violet did learn what some have already known but dared not to whisper: Tyra Banks is insane.

We were all set to do a follow-up on Barry's Big Nothing but OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL HAS GOTTTEN INTO THE GIANTS? First they rallied from 6-1 to win yesterday and tonight...tonight, well, tonight they put together what Statheads refer to as an "ass whumping," beating the Padres, 9-3. We're talking striking for a rare and always-impressive back-to-back-to-back (and almost another -back) home run barrage, started off by the Barry himself, who hit 722. He was followed in quick succession by the so hot right now Ray Durham and Pedro Feliz. But wait, there's more! Omar Vizquel pulled off a suicide squeeze (scoring Wynn) and the New Kid on the Block, Chad Santos, hit his very first home-run, a two run shot. He also made a few nice plays in the field.

If you're anything like us, watching those Victoria's Secret models strut their stuff last night was not nearly enough T&A to get you through the week. Which is why we're thankful that the world of modeling will once again take over our TV screens tonight with the premiere of a new season of "Project Runway" and the end of this season of America's Next Top Model."

The season isn't what it used to be, and by that we mean the TV season. Once upon a time, shows began in the fall and ended at the beginning of summer. But these days you've got shows beginning in the summer, and even the spring. Some fall shows don't premiere until January, and other fall shows are ending this month. It's enough to drive a couch potato to the great outdoors!
