America’s Next Top Model spawns its first spinoff

Tyra Banks‘ hit reality competition show, America’s Next Top Model will be giving birth to its first spinoff on the CW. The show, Operation Fabulous, will feature ANTM stars J. Alexander and Jay Manuel, as they tour the country, turning ordinary women into “model” citizens. Get it? “Model citizens”? It’s a play on words…never mind. This is a makeover show, not a competition. The women will get complete overhauls and fashion advise that suits them as individuals.

Anyway, this will be the third fashion-themed reality show on the CW, including their newest, “Stylista”, which debuts on October 22.  All shows are produced by Tyra Banks and Ken Mok.
