![Model Jessica White New TV Show]()
Move over Tyra Banks -- or at least make some room. Model Jessica White, known for getting herself into tabloid headlines through public mayhem, has made a major foray into the fashion-related reality TV field. The intense beauty has just finalized a deal with the Oxygen network for her own show, which will allow her to capitalize on her ability to grab attention. White's show will bring viewers into the real world of modeling, with just the right touch of insider naughtiness -- a perfect complement to Tyra's offering. More from the
New York Post:
Sometimes getting into trouble does pay. Model Jessica White -- arrested in October after a catfight outside a Chelsea club -- has landed a reality show on the Oxygen Network. Cameras will start filming the beauty, who split with Sean Penn last year, as early as Friday and through Fashion Week.Her lawyer, Mark Jay Heller,said, "The show is based on her life and some of her colorful friends, almost like 'Entourage.' " Oxygen didn't get back to us, but sources said White's arrest hasn't hurt her modeling career -- "in fact, she seems to be getting more work," one said. White claims she's not guilty and was provoked.

America's Next Top Mo Where Are They Now?
Yes, that's what all dangerously sexy women say. And it's the doubly smart ones that profit from it. Similar to the antics of
Roxie Hart in "Chicago," Jessica White is turning her little bit of infamy into a major stepping stone for her career.
It's wonderful to see more black models making money in areas other than the fashion business, which is notorious for giving leggy goddesses of African descent
fewer job opportunities. Like Tyra before her, Jessica has bravely taken matters into her own hands, ensuring that her professional life is not limited to the constraints of modeling -- which will also come in handy as she gets older. White could also learn a lesson from Iman, who has expanded her brand to include
cosmetics and
clothing, in addition to
a popular show. But there will be time for all that, if Jessica continues to make the right moves.
It's great to see all these black women really shining! Now if there was only a way for
Naomi to turn controversy into cash. She'd be a billionaire.
