America's Next Top Model will live to smize again — except Tyra Banks won't be there to see it.

The TV show, which began its life on UPN before moving to The CW in 2006, has just been picked up by VH1. The twist: Its next incarnation will feature a brand new host.

Yes, smizers: No Tyra.

Instead, Banks will merely maintain her role as an executive producer on the show.

VH1 said that the series' "re-imagined cast of host and judges" will be announced at a later date.

The new season will feature 14 new episodes and does not yet have a premiere date.

The move, of course, makes sense, since VH1 was the first network pick up the show in syndication and continues to host ANTM repeats.

"After creating an incredible, global brand, I am beyond excited to have the show reborn," Banks said in a statement via VH1."I will continue as Executive Producer, but must turn my attention to new business endeavors, so I want to find a new host. I'm pumped to identify that person and bring back the show. Top Model fans, you demanded that the show come back, and VH1 answered the call. Get ready for a fierce-a-fied rebirth!"

That bad boy comes complete with a triple rear camera setup (each of which are 12-megapixels) and a telephoto lens. Your pictures have never looked better.  But even though Apple has upped the ante in terms of hardware, it's highly unlikely you'll upload a picture to social media without slightly altering at least some part of it.  Luckily, there are some great alternatives to settling for those basic Instagram filters or sticking to the built-in camera tools. Because every single one of us needs all the "likes" we can get. And because #nofilter is no longer a thing.  Here are six of the best iPhone photo-editing apps to d

Despite Trump’s claims, Google isn’t building the coronavirus screening site — and it’s not ready

  In a press conference at the White House, President Trump today announced that 1,700 Google engineers were working on a coronavirus screening site. That site was supposedly the first step in a new screening process that would lead people from figuring out if their symptoms warranted more testing to the location of new “drive through” testing stations. But Trump was wrong. This screening site isn’t being developed by Google . Instead, it’s being built by Verily , Alphabet’s life science division — and it’s not ready to launch yet either. While both share the same parent company in Alphabet, these are two very different companies. In addition, as Verily noted in a statement it provided almost three hours after Trump made the announcement, this site isn’t quite ready yet. “Verily is developing a tool to help triage individuals for COVID-19 testing. We are in the early stages of development, and planning to roll testing out in the Bay Area, with the hope of expanding more
