Well, this is a special Thursday treat! While not as amazing as an afternoon of manis and pedis with the Queen of the Runway, it is pretty awesome when Naomi Campbell takes a moment to chat with us. Read on to learn what she's working on, her TV addictions and what she thinks the stars will be wearing this Sunday at the Academy Awards.
Turns out Nigel running into Bravo's Andy Cohen on "The Face" premiere party yellow carpet was a happy foreshadowing to his appearance on "Watch What Happens Live" last night. Nigel was the guest, along with "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" hot mess Taylor Armstrong. Nigel had his moment when Andy asked about "The Face" host's infamous firing off "America's Next Top Model" by Tyra Banks. You have to watch to hear the full awesomeness, but here's a teaser quote: "Watch out, Tyra!" Remember to watch "The Face" season premiere, tonight, Tue. Feb. 12 at 9/8c. There's a new host in town. SNAP.
The "Real Housewives" Reunions are almost the best part of the season: Dramatic walk offs, bad lipstick application (eh hem, Ramona), heated altercations and, of course, the insanely patient Andy Cohen moderating the hot irresistible mess. So when I caught up with the Bravo exec at "The Face" premiere party, I had to ask. If there was a "The Face" reunion special—I'm imagining Naomi, Coco, Karolina and Nigel sitting on a tricked out runway in the Lincoln Center Fashion Week tents—how would that go down?
While you were busy watching "The Fight to Make the Final 12" elimination special tonight, Naomi Campbell, Coco Rocha, Karolina Kurkova and Nigel Barker were mixing and mingling with their bold name friends and groovin' to the sounds of a live choir belting out a 90s classic (more on that in a bit) at the "The Face" launch party in New York City. Early bird Nigel was the first to hit the red yellow carpet and the host happily walked the press line despite the freezing 20 degree temps outside.
Nigel Barker returned to his judging duties last night for the Miss Universe 2012 pageant in Las Vegas. He hit the red carpet looking quite pleased to be wearing a fancy tuxedo. Think he was hiding some stripey socks under those tux trousers? Let's check out who else joined Nigel at the decision making table, after the jump.
