Twiggy replaced by Paulina Porizkova as "America's Next Top Model" judge

Cheerio, Twiggy. The "fashion icon" and former model will be replaced as a judge on the next season of "America's Next Top Model." Taking over for Twiggy in season 10 is Paulina Porizkova, a model, actress and writer. She most recently made headlines as a contestant on "Dancing with the Stars."

ANTM's Executive Producer Ken Mok said, "We are thrilled to have Paulina as a part of this cycle's judging panel. The show and participants will benefit a great deal from her vast modeling knowledge and expertise."

Twiggy was allegedly replaced because of scheduling conflicts. Mok said of her departure, "We would like to thank Twiggy for her great contributions to the show. Having an icon like Twiggy lend us her considerable expertise has elevated our show to a whole new level. We wish her well in her endeavors and hope to collaborate with her in future cycles of ANTM as well as other projects."

J. Alexander and Nigel Barker will remain judges for season 10.
