Tyra Banks hires Katy Perry's stylist for 'ANTM'

WENN

Katy Perry's stylist is set to help supermodel Tyra Banks put "America's Next Top Model" contestants to the test as the new creative consultant on the hit reality TV series.

Host and producer Banks axed photographer Nigel Barker, runway coach J. Alexander and photoshoot director Jay Manuel from her panel of experts last month and has announced Perry's wardrobe adviser Johnny Wujek and male model Rob Evans will take their place on the upcoming season of the program.

Bing: Tyra and Drake dating?

Announcing the news on Twitter.com, the retired runway beauty writes, "Welcome the fab Johnny Wujek & fine Rob Evans to the CW's ANTM! Excited for some cuh-ray-zee [crazy] challenges."

Evans will join Banks and fashion publicist Kelly Cutrone on the judging panel for the upcoming 19th season of the show, which will air in America later this year.

The next series will also be the first to allow fans watching at home to share their opinions and help judges decide on the winner via social media.

Banks explains, "Cycle 19's judging panel will include your votes, comments and video messages. You will have a say in which models stay... and who goes home."

I can honestly say that I am done watching now. I think Kelly Cutrone is a horrible addition to the show. I didn't like her at all. Jay Manuel is one of the biggest reasons I watch the show. Nigel is the next. I cannot imagine it without them. So, I will not be watching... Tyra, your loyalty to those that helped you succeed is HORRIBLE!

I am shocked and disappointed in Trya's decision to rid her the program of its most popular people - J Alexander, Jay Manuel and Nigel Barker.  They  are a large part of why I watch the program.  They are better than the whine and bitche of the contestants.  I'm afraid this spells the end of ATM for me.  These three have been very loyal to Tyra and it makes me sick and shows that Tyra is not as loyal or as kind as she makes people think she is.

Never did care much for Ms. Banks, but the early shows were fun to watch. There were a few times I swear that woman needed glasses when picking the winner of some of those shows. I don't think I'll be watching the show any more, but maybe with a little help from the American votes, they'll pick the ones that deserve it.

 

The show will never be any good without the Jay's and Nigel. And this year, oh, big thumbs down!
