While her old "boss" Kelly Cutrone takes over for André Leon Talley on America's Next Top Model, Whitney Port will join the judges on the show's British edition. Alongside returning panelists Julien MacDonald and Elle Macpherson (who also hosts the show), she's a new face for the eighth season of Britain & Ireland's Next Top Model. Male model Tyson Beckford also signed on to judge; perhaps Elle's hoping for some thumb-sucking fun too?
