The fall television season is just around the corner and I just got my first press release from my contact over at UPN CW about the premiere of America's Next Top Model already in its seventh season cycle. Here is just basically a list of the girls, but if you want to know more about the girls check out this week's issue of TV Guide with the Emmy Preview on the front. Also don't forget to watch the repeat of Veronica Mars tonight at 9:00 as it was the episode that was filming when I made my set visit. Be sure to look out for the scene where Veronica is talking to Evil Beaver at the lunch tables as that is the scene we watched. Now for the pres release:

This is the 100th post here at my photo blog. Yippie. But seriously I have nothing to mark the occasion. Coincidentally my sister site the 9th Green turned 500 today too so for even more excitement check that out. It's slightly more exciting than this milestone, but not by much (but there is some "Weird Al" news).
