Kim Kardashian and Lauren Conrad to Judge America's Next Top Model

Remember how I told you that Kim Kardashian would appear on Cycle 13 of America's Next Top Model, as a guest judge?

Well, the episode air date has now been revealed. Kim fans, set your DVR for October 21st...when Kim will sit alongside Tyra, Miss Jay Alexander and Nigel Barker.

It has also been leaked that Lauren Conrad will take a turn as a guest judge. Look for her on the September 16th eppy of ANTM. I predict that the elimination challenge will have something to do with LC's clothing line for Kohl's, which hits stores this fall.

Kim Kardashian To Judge America's Next Top Model

I love when my favorite things collide. It's a rare opportunity for me to focus.

Today on her blog, Kim Kardashian revealed that she will be a guest judge on Cycle 13 (the shorties' season) of ANTM.

Recently I was a guest judge on America's Next Top Model for an episode that will air next season! Wow, this cycle is pretty amazing! It's definitely my favorite so far! Can't give away any details but you guys have to tune in for sure!

It was such an honor to be a guest judge! I have watched this show for years and am such a huge Tyra Banks fan! She is such a smart business woman and such a role model! Love ya Tyra!

By the looks of Miss Jay's ensemble, I'm guessing that this is the episode where there are seven models left in the competition.

Tyra Looking For Some Shorties For America's Next Top Model, Cycle 13

The number 13 may be considered unlucky to some...but for aspiring short models, it may just be a blessing.

For the first time in America’s Next Top Model history, Tyra Banks announces that girls must be 5'7" and under to qualify for cycle 13 of the hit reality show.

Typically, ANTM requires that contestants meet a minimum height requirement of 5’7” – matching the industry standard. But next time around, Tyra is searching for shorties, ages 18 to 27, of diverse backgrounds, shapes and sizes.

"There have been top supermodels in the past that weren’t as tall as the industry demands, like fashion icon Kate Moss," said Tyra. "So we are changing up Top Model for cycle 13 and making it a year for the shorter model!”

Why Is Clay Aiken Judging America's Next Top Model?

According to Usmagazine.com, Clay Aiken will appear on America's Next Top Model Cycle 12. And get this...he's going to be a judge!

Clay will work with the aspiring models in an acting challenge, then will critique their performances during the panel session when one of the models is eliminated.

Clay judging an acting challenge? Tyra, you so crazy! Wouldn't it be more apropos if Clay taught the contestants how to apply pancake makeup?

The new season of ANTM premieres February 25th.

Thank You For Believing In Me, Tyra
