ANTM News - Anya signed, Jay Manuel sued..

18 July 2008 No Comment

Anya Rozova - Americas Next Top model runner up

Jay Manuel who we like to refer to as “Jay Manual” since all he does is tell the girls what to do. Smile more, smile less, be perkier, be happy, work with your eyes??? Please be more specific , Mr. ANTM Manual.

According to TMZ.com, the seriously pretty Mr. Manual is being sued by Truline Entertainment, a talent Agency.

According to the suit, filed on Tuesday in L.A. County Superior court, Jay began the run by getting $30,000 an episode! Wow!. And it went up to $40k an episode!. How much does Ms. Tyra make??? These guys are laughing all the way to the bank while the girls are left doing “Chilli’s” commercials. Remember Mercedes? She’s the “Welcome to Chili’s girl”

The suit claims Jay earned a total of $405,000 for his “work” on the show but Thruline Entertainment, Inc., got nothing. As his manager, they claim to be entitled to 10%, $40,500.00.

ANYA SIGNED BY ELITE

Yaaay! Finally, some of the girls are working and not at Walgreens.  Anya Rozova, who went by Anya Kop on the last season of America’s Next Top Model, signed with Elite Model Management on Friday. She may have come in second on the show, behind Whitney Thompson, but she’s scored a spot on the agency’s development board. Booker Jose Covarrubias says the agency asked for her after the show ended. And she came to them with her natural shade of brown hair.

What took them so long to sign her? She was obviously the standout in the group but a plus sized model had to win this year. Timing is everything.

Incidentally, Anya’s portfolio on Elite do not contain any of her ANTM images. Strange.
