Tonight, Tyra Banks will crown another beauty America’s Next Top Model. Will you be watching? (I’ll wait to be sucked into the complete marathon whenever that airs.) That said, I definitely watched Cycle 7, when bubbly blonde CariDee English took home the top prize.

Let me tell you, she is one friendly, down-to-earth model. At least that’s my impression after casually chatting with her for a few minutes at Friday’s opening bash at new late-night hot spot, Crescendo (To get more info on the club, check my New on the Scene column.) CariDee was dancing with her friends, chatting, and was happy to pose photos while joking, "I have to approve the picture first."

She kicked off a fashion show at the "ultra lounge" in a striking red dress from Giambattista Valli’s fall collection. The Top Model and other Elite beauties also wore the designs of Oscar de la Renta, Jill Sander and others.

So, if you are watching ANTM, do you think hometown hottie Jaslene has what it takes?
