André Leon Talley has already finished filming the fourteenth season of America’s Next Top Model. He replaces J. Alexander on the judging panel. (Miss J will only be returning to fix the contestants’ busted runway walks.)

Tyra Banks first approached Andre Leon Talley to be on “America’s Next Top Model” eight years ago. “At that point,” he told WWD, “I said no because it was the beginning. I was thinking I wanted to see where it goes.” Fast forward to 2010 and cycle 14 of the show, which premieres March 10 on The CW, with Talley on the judging panel:

“I felt maybe I could contribute something to it that had not been on the show. I just felt that it was a way to step out of the box and associate myself with a very important American success story, a very important brand — Tyra Banks.”

He’d never watched the show when he said yes, but he had “no hesitations at all,” and has signed on for three cycles. He also has a show wardrobe of 13 custom-made Chado Ralph Rucci capes, varying only in color or fabric.

He also created a catchphrase for the show: “dreckitude,” from one of his “favorite” words, dreck, and “quackitude.” He explained: “‘Dreckitude’ was whipped out when I thought the challenge was not met or if [the contestants] showed up in perhaps an outfit that I just couldn’t wrap my mind around.”

Even Tyra Banks felt intimidated.

“This is the most clean you will ever see me in the history of ‘Top Model,’” she said. “I am wearing a chignon every single day. I went back to Yves Saint Laurent 1991, honey. I said, ‘This is André Leon Talley! No earrings, no nothing. Just me and the gahhment.’”

I’m hearing that Usher’s new CD “Raymond vs. Raymond” has been pushed back until March 30th because his label refuses to release the disc until he gets new management.

According to the NY Daily News, he and his mom-manager fell out yet again in November over his relationship with current girlfriend Grace Miguel.

“She walked away from the project because Usher had his girlfriend [and former Def Jam executive] Grace Miguel was all in the mix,” says the source. “She felt as though if she didn’t end things when she did, it would permanently affect their personal relationship,” continues the source. Usher had apparently declared that he would manage himself, with the help of Miguel, but the label felt that “there was chaos in the camp.”

I’m thinking Usher’s mama will never like any girl he brings home!

Singer Beyonce appeared in a commercial for Vizio televisions, which aired during the fourth quarter of Super Bowl XLIV last night.

The ad was directed by Wally Pfister, best known as the cinematographer of “Batman Begins” and “The Dark Knight.”

The commercial shows how Vizio is bringing “the best of the internet” to your HDTV, so they made sure to surround Beyonce with some our favorite YouTube sensations and celebrities. She sang and sold that company’s Internet Apps technology, which already includes Twitter, Facebook, and Flickr.

Jay-Z is not one to let an event like Superbowl XLIV pass without leaving his mark, and last night, the MC kicked off CBS’ Super Bowl kickoff show accompanied by the Rutgers Symphony Orchestra for a “Posthumous Zone” version of “Run This Town.”

Rihanna did not make an appearence, but the song began with her recorded vocals. The clip was shot in New York last Tuesday and featured approximately 65 musicians from the Rutgers Symphony Orchestra and the Rutgers Sinfonia.

Maestro Kynan Johns said the school was approached about the job last month, and that the video shoot would help his students to see that “it takes a lot of time to get pop music to that level.”

I just came across this video of Carmen Ortega, Reggie Bush’s jumpoff and get this…she’s giving a tour of his Beverly Hills crib…

Take a look:

I’m thinking it’s a little suspect that this video was released just as Reggie was on his way to winning his first Superbowl!

Take a look at Reggie and girlfriend Kim K below:
