America's Next Top Model picks New Judges

 

We are still in shock over Tyra Banks' release of our fav judges Nigel Barker, Jay Manuel and Jay Alexander.  We've been wondering who the replacements will be and if they will keep us tuning in.

 

Well Tyra just announced her new judges!  Their names are not recognizable but neither were the other judges when ANTM hit our tv screens.

 

 The new judges are,  Kelly Cutrone a fashion publicist-turned-reality star, male model Rob Evans and stylist Johnny Wujek who is best known for styling Katy Perry.

 

Cycle 19 will be a "College Edition" and viewers will be able to vote online for their favorites. The online results will be factored in by the judges come elimination time.

 Also "ANTM" will air on Friday nights at 8pm.

 

What do you think of all these changes?

How to Get Your Sketchers Refund

 

 

If you purchased Skechers "toning" shoes hoping to lose weight or to get Kim Kardashian and Brook Burke's curves, you may be eligible for a refund for at least part of your shoes' cost.

 

Skechers was ordered by the Federal Trade Commission to provide $40 million in refunds to  customers for deceptive ads.   Skechers made "unproved founded claims that Shape-ups would help people lose weight, and strengthen and tone their buttocks, legs and abdominal muscles," says the FTC press release.

 

Claims in Skechers' print and TV ads included statements such as:

• "Get in shape without ever setting foot in a gym."
• "Shape up while you walk."
• "The newest move in fitness is tying your shoelaces."

Plus, that 2011 Super Bowl ad in which Kardashian says the famous quote "Bye-bye, trainer. Hello, Shape-ups."

 

What's covered in the settlement?

The agreement covers shoes purchased since Aug. 1, 2008, according to the Skechers Settlement website, and includes Shape-ups rocker-bottom shoes, Resistance Runner, Shape-ups Toners/Trainers and Tone-ups shoes.  The shoes retailed from $60 to $100 per pair.

 

The Skechers Settlement website says refunds will range from $20 to $80, and has a chart with more details. 

 

What you can do

So you've got a pair of Skechers toning shoes. Now what? For more information:

• Visit the FTC's Skechers Refunds page.
• Check the Skechers Settlement page.
• Or call the FTC's Skechers hotline at (866) 325-4186.

You can apply for a refund by submitting an online claim submission form. To apply by mail, call the FTC hotline and ask to have a printed form mailed to you once the court approves the settlement.

Sarah Hyland is Seventeen Mag's June/July 2012 Cover Girl!

 

Modern Family star Sarah Hyland lands the cover of Seventeen June/July 2012.

 

The 21-year-old actress just recently had a kidney transplant in April and tells the mag about the great support she received.  

 

“You know that family is always going to be there for you—no matter what. My dad gave me a freakin’ kidney! But its also the families that you create outside of your family. And you really find out what kind of people you’re friends with. It was just amazing, and it really opened my eyes to see who’s there for me and who’s not.”

 

She also talks about the support of her boyfriend, Matt Prokop, “He helps me with my medication and takes me to doctor appointments and all the stuff that I need to do to take care of myself. Any other 21-year-old guy would not be there, I guarantee it. I am one of the luckiest people in the world to have him be there for me.”

40% of Teens Video Chat with Friends

 

More teens are using video chats to interact and communicate with friends through apps such as Skype, Googletalk and iChat.

 

Teens of various ages are equally likely to use web chat services. About 34% of online 12 to 13 year olds use video chat, while 39% of 14 to 17 year olds do the same. Teens who are more active online, text frequently and use social media often are, not surprisingly, more likely to video chat.

 

The study also looked at how teens create videos for the web. About 27% of teens who use the Internet say they actively record and upload video online. However, girls are just as likely as boys to upload clips.

 

About 77% of all teens between the ages of 12 and 17 use Facebook, while just 16% use Twitter. Teens who use Facebook and Twitter are more likely to use video chat, with 41% of Facebook users web chatting (compared with 25% of non-users) and 60% of Twitter users using video chat, compared with 33% of non-Twitter users.

 

The study also found that 77% of all teens have cell phones, 75% of which can send and receive texts.
