Mr. Jay is a one busy, talented guy. Not only is he Tyra's right hand man as the resident America's Next Top Model photo shoot director and the host of Canada's Next Top Model, but he's also a fashion designer. This week, Manuel, a native Canadian, debuted his Fall 2011 collection for Sears, "Attitude," in his hometown during Toronto Fashion Week.

Antm alums Dani Evans, Aminat Ayinde, and McKey Sullivan joined some of Jay's Cntm stars to walk the collection on the runway, sporting a range of dark, tailored pantsuits and blazers as well as more vibrant and feminine coats, scarves and dresses.

Check out the whole collection here. Below, see Dani, Aminat and McKey strutting for Mr. Jay. (Photos by Jenna Marie Wakani.) I love their dramatic makeup and hair, too.

After spinning the entire original concept of 'Wrong Turn' right out of the woods and slap-bang into the crazy house it seems the new Declan O'Brien ('Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead', 'Sharktopus') helmed follow-up 'Wrong Turn 4' is kicking off it's casting. The shoot will start up soon in Winnipeg, Canada and it appears that a bunch of new actors, including a couple of local actors have been signed up. Winnipeg actors Scott Johnson and Jennifer Pudavick - below ('Wishmaster 3: Beyond the Gates of Hell') are on board whilst they are joined by Sean Skene, Daniel Skene and 'Canada's Next Top Model' star Tenika Davis ('Saw VI').

On Tuesday night's episode of Canada's Next Top Model, the contestants were put through the ringer in faux tabloid-esque interviews. They were asked questions about rumors relating to coke habits, baby bumps on the beach and other fashion world atrocities such as not recognizing Karl Lagerfeld. Several AfterEllen.com readers let us know that Rebeccah, the 18-year-old blond tomboy from Cambridge, Ontario, was asked about a recent campaign in which she posed topless with another girl.

The "interviewer" asked her how she handled the "close quarters, girl-on-girl vibe" and she replied surprisingly truthful for a fake interview, saying: "I'm not uncomfortable with that at all, because I, myself, am a lesbian."

The interviewers didn't seem surprised, but said she gave a perfect answer and liked that she was so honest. (Like that wasn't totally planned on their part.)

One of the fellow contestants said they were all taken aback, not because Rebeccah was gay,...

The CW's "America's Next Top Model" cycle 11 finally gets its winner. On its November 19 final episode, the hit modeling competition show crowned boxing enthusiast, Brittany 'McKey' Sullivan, as the next America's Top Model.

After the winning announcement, 19-year-old McKey shares her grateful feeling, saying "I'm so proud of myself right now, this was the last thing for me, I was going to try out and this was going to be it." She adds, "Now I'm America's Next Top Model and from here this isn't the end. I'm going to keep going and keep rising, it's just like a dream come true."

The former tomboy from Lake Forrest, Illinios, McKey, wins a contract with Elite model management, a spread and cover for Seventeen magazine, and a $100,000 contract with covergirl. She defeats her rival Samantha Potter after strutting along one unique runway, a giant hot pink hill, and striking memorable poses.

TORONTO -- The Canadian Broadcasting Corp. on Thursday announced it will take on rival CTV's popular Canadian Idol series with a Canadian version of ABC's The One: Making a Music Star. Canada's public broadcaster said it will air The Canadian One, acquired as a format from Endemol USA, after it simulcasts ABC's version of the music competition series this summer. Rival CTV similarly simulcasts Fox's American Idol before airing its popular Canadian Idol series after the finale of the U.S. show, while Chum Ltd., another private Canadian broadcaster, follows up its airing of Paramount's America's Next Top Model with its own version, Canada's Next Top Model.
