Janice Dickinson

Supermodel--author--TV personality Janice Dickinson has been called "damaged," "driven," "self-destructive," and worse--far worse. But as we recently told her, we just think she's super-fierce. Her reply: "That's because I'm a gay man in a supermodel's body. I've been called a 'fag' in my life, and I'm very proud of my title."

Who's the best kisser you've ever had?

My current boyfriend, Thomas Fry. He necks like the Apollo moon rocket.

Is he better than fallen supermodel Gia Carangi, who you hooked up with back in the day?

Oh, no. You have to give Gia props. She's dead and gone. And there's nothing like a hot lesbian kiss.

You're on the fifth season of The Surreal Life [premiering July 10 on VH1]. How did that happen?

I turned down The Surreal Life the last four years because I didn't think it was worthy of [speaking in a French accent] La Janice, being the world's first supermodel. But I've learned that it has an enormous audience. I didn't want to work with midgets, [or] ugly, trashed-out has-beens, and I was guaranteed that the cast would be off-the-hook. So I said, "Are there going to be any available men?" And they said, "Oh, yeah!" So I was like, "All right!"

Omarosa from The Apprentice is in the cast.

I thought [she] was Rick James when I first saw her. I thought Rick had risen from the dead.

I heard a rumor that you walked out in the middle of filming. Is that true?

You know I can't answer that! But I can give you an interview the day after that episode airs.

So we can expect some drama?

Are you kidding me? I live for drama!

Oh, my God, you're gonna get better than Lana Turner, better than Ava Gardner, better than anyone smashing vases into the walls.

What's up with your leaving America's Next Top Model next season? Because I don't know if I want to hear Twiggy's critiques,

No, neither do I. But I'm back on the show. I got a call yesterday, and I'm coming back in another capacity.

How about leaving us with some Janice philosophy?

Treat your brother and sister the way you want to be treated. Play hard, fuck hard, drink hard, and have a blast. Don't forget to go to bed with your high heels on. And get down on your knees and thank the good Lord for another fucking day, because guess what: It goes fast.
