If you tuned in to catch new ANTM judge Andre Leon Talley, you were probably disappointed since TyTy made it a two part premiere (which BTW, no one even bother to tell Andre he wouldn't be on the first part, nice going Tyrannosaurus.)
But to make up for that, Andre recently sat down to talk about anything and everything including squashing that nasty rumor of him riding an elephant.
Here are some highlights from the Vogue editor at large's interview:
On Anna Wintour watching the show:
Oh no, Anna doesn't look at television. Maybe tennis. Just tennis…I don't think she's a television-watcher. I've been to her home many times and I've never seen her watch the TV.
On fitting in on the judging panel:
No! I love Tyra. It's like coming home.
On whether or not "dreckitude" will become the new 'it' word:
We will see! I don't know. I can't gauge these things. This is all new to me.
On riding the rumors of riding an elephant:
Oh no, no, no, no, no! I love the rumor, but it's not true. I went to see an elephant in a zoo and we bonded. Tyra and I spent an afternoon with an elephant. But we by no means rode the elephant. I love the idea that people think I'm riding elephants on the show. That's cool.
On the lack of diversity on the runway:
Oh, but Diane Von Furstenberg did her duty! Half her show was black models. That was one of the great shows. You know, it's never going to go back to what it was. We will always make them aware. There is always going to be an awareness about that. I don't think that is a fair criticism of that, because in all the shows there was lots of diversity.
One thing's for sure Tyra sure did leave everyone chomping at the bit to see ALT.
Are U excited for ALT's debut???

Somewhere Anna Wintour is smiling.
Anna's counterpart and longtime rival Carine Roitfeld of French Vogue has been banned from the Balenciaga shows.
While the cause of the feud is unknown, Carine admits: "We're blacklisted. It's too bad, it's a beautiful house and it's French. I hope that it's not forever."
On top of not being invited to their runway shows, the label does not advertise or let them use their clothes for editorials.
Wonder what they did to eff that relationship up?

Those Italians sure know how to hold a grudge.
Anna Wintour clones banned together to let the Vogue editor know they're upset over the Milan Fashion Week schedule being rearranged just for her.
The protesters gathered in Milan's Piazza Oberdan before the Gucci runway show complete with Anna bobs, oversized sunglasses and shirts that said "I Will Only Stay 3 Days".
While it's a nice attempt to get attention, we doubt the devil gives a flying focaccia about your wants and needs.
Anna Wintour has now been immortalized in an oil painting to be hung in the National Portrait Gallery.
The Vogue HBIC sat for 2 hours while artist Alex Katz did his work. The artist requested Anna not wear her sunglasses because he saw she had lovely eyes in The September Issue.
Anna says of her experience "I couldn't think of a nicer way to spend the afternoon. We talked for two hours while he worked, and I was pleased to see that he used a lot of colour, which I adore."
We think he did a pretty good job, especially her bob. Not a hair out of place.
These Italians won't let anything go, will they?
After having to rearrange the entire schedule for Milan Fashion Week to accomodate Anna Wintour's 3 day visit.
But Milan Mayor Letizia Moratti is making sure this will never happen again, saying "Nobody, not even if her name is Anna Wintour, can take the liberty to do and undo our fashion schedule. For this reason, we must all work united."
Uh huh, whatever you say.
