Heads up, Top Model fans! There's a new judge in town and he's bringing his high fashion knowledge to the table. Vogue editor, André Leon Talley, has signed on to judge three cycles of ANTM with the blessing of Vogue queen Anna Wintour, Mr. Talley tells WWD. He'll be replacing Miss Jay on the panel since he will be solely coaching the girls' runway walks from now on. Other guest judges this season? Whitney Port, Rachel Roy and Sally Hershberger. "A lot of people can speak about fashion, but it doesn't necessarily translate to strong television," Tyra tells the mag. "But André speaks about fashion and he has such a passion, and the words -- the adverbs, the adjectives -- he uses! I know it's going to make the viewer at home go, 'Wowww.'" We know what we'll really be "wow-ing" over -- André's 13 custom-made designer cloaks that he'll be wearing every episode. What do you think of the new addition?
