The empty judges' seat has been filled for Cycle 14 of America's Next Top Model and this time around it’s not a top model from the "real world."

In the past we’ve seen a few famed runway models on the judges’ panel. But TV Guide has confirmed that the new ANTM power monger…uh…judge…is one André Leon Talley, Vogue magazine’s editor-at-large. A front-row regular at fashion shows all around the globe, André could make the perfect judge. He mentors models and fashion designers and in 2008 even advised the future first family on fashion.

Yes, but can he cha-cha like Paulina Poriskova? That remains to be seen, though we do look forward to what André will bring to the judges' table. And we especially look forward to how he and Miss J Alexander will interact. Should be entertaining!

There was initially a rumor swirling that André would replace Miss J but Buddy TV put an end to that ridiculousness. As if anyone could replace Miss J! Our Buddy also squelched a rumor that Kimora Lee Simmons would be a guest judge during Cycle 14—which is good because we really want to keep watching the show.
