The do over auditions in New York for "America's Next Top Model" today have gone off without a hitch ... and all it took was one violent, bloody riot of hungry models to teach the organizers a lesson.
The would-be models were all greeted by actual police officers and efficient checkpoint stations set up for today's event, instead of smoking cars, trampled bodies and broken high heels. The whole operation was designed to keep the crowd calm.
Unfortunately, not everything was so perfect -- a huge rainstorm hit early this morning, soaking all the wannabe models. Which, actually isn't a bad visual.

All hell broke loose at a "Toni Braxton" concert in the Repubic of Suriname over the weekend, when the loyal TB fans realized the person on stage was a Toni Braxton imposter!
The faux-Toni, Trina Johnson, claims her contract specifically stated she was to do an "imitation act" -- and she has no idea why people thought the "real" Toni would be there.
Nevertheless, people were pissed when they found out the Braxton they thought they were gonna see wasn't really Braxton at all. According to several local reports, fans went nuts, throwing bottles on stage and even looting some of the bars at the venue.
Police have begun an investigation, but according to Caribbean Net News, the concert promoters have conveniently disappeared.
The "real" Toni Braxton's rep tells us: "Toni Braxton is aware of what happened and is obviously displeased with what happened. She regrets that both she and her fans have been victimized by this hoax. Ms. Braxton's attorneys are exploring the legal ramifications."

Before Paris Hilton was released from Lynwood this morning, her lawyer, Rich Hutton, slipped Harvey Levin a personalized sketch and note from the heiress herself.
The drawing, a self-portrait of Hilton at a pay phone inside the jail, features Paris in her jail issue with an incredibly accurate depiction of our fearless leader hosting "Larry King Live" on television in the background.
Sorry folks, you ain't gonna see this one on eBay.
Paris: Better Without Makeup?
The world press was awaiting her exit -- she only had time to change her clothes in a public bathroom, pinch her cheeks and put on a little lipstick -- and she looked, well, hot!
TMZ has prepared a side-by-side comparison; here's red carpet
weavetabulous Paris, and post-jail Heidi Paris.
Which is better? Vote!
Paris To Make a Run for the Border
Drop the Chalupa! TMZ has learned Paris Hilton wants
Taco Bell in the worst way, now that she's out of jail.
Paris' family has said the ex-jailbird is craving a Fourth Meal. While we have not confirmed if her choice will be Nachos BellGrande or a Taco Supreme, cameras have caught Hilton at Taco Bell in the past. Now she will return to the scene of the crime.
Andale!
Chaos Ensues as Paris Exits Jail
About an hour after being released from jail, Paris Hilton arrived at her parents' Beverly Hills home -- which is, of course, substantially larger than the cell she called home for the past three weeks.
Hilton sat in the back of the SUV that took her home as the driver waited for the road to clear of the paparazzi crush. Despite the
blinding flurry of flashes, a relatively makeup-free Paris has never looked so happy to have her picture taken -- certainly more so than
the last time we saw her.
Whether or not Paris is at her folks' place for the night is still unknown.
Paris Pigs Out at Chez Lynwood
Forced to go 23 days without takeout from Mr.Chow, Paris Hilton spent her time in the clink ordering up a
smorgasboard from the prison canteen.
Bon appetit!
Paris ordered from the same menu available to all prisoners. TMZ has obtained a record of what the ex-con/heiress consumed during a single week of her jailhouse stay -- and let's just say it wasn't exactly a light lunch at the Ivy.
Beside the standard three meals a day, Paris devoured such delectables as instant chicken noodle soup, blueberry muffins, toffee peanuts, packs of coffee, soy sauce, Cheerios, fruit punch mix and mustard. Seems like she had nothing to do but eat!
And the scales of justice are in -- and TMZ has learned that, despite her feeding frenzy, Paris actually
lost seven lbs (not ten as previously reported). Who needs Atkins when you got chicken broth and instant coffee!
And don't think Paris let her beauty regimen slide just because she was locked up with hundreds of her favorite fellow female inmates! To get herself prison gorgeous, Paris ordered skin cream, eyebrow pencils, an emery board and cotton swabs. Pretty in orange!
In total, Paris spent $145.32 on her purchases for a week. Cheaper than drinks at Hyde!

Paris might be a wild child, but it took the newly out-and-about Britney Spears to really get her in hot water.
Police were called to Hilton's Hollywood home after the heiress and new pal Britney Spears allegedly blasted music a little too loud for folks on the block.
The neighbors were already on edge after word leaked to paparazzi that the two blondes were planning on kickin' it at Paris' place after the American Music Awards. As the ladies arrived, a swarm of paparazzi unleashed a blinding flashbulb frenzy that lit up the whole neighborhood.
The police incident comes just days after Paris and a pantsless Britney were photographed in Vegas during a crazy girls night out.

Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and their gang of kiddos arrived back in Pune, India after spending a peaceful weekend by the beautiful beaches of Goa.
It comes as a true shock that the superstars were even allowed back to Pune to continue filming the upcoming movie "A Mighty Heart," after the incredible amount of chaos the pair has caused there recently.
The couple created widespread panic last week in the streets when they decided to take a rickshaw ride with Maddox. Days later Brangelina's bodyguard went on the attack and choked out a paparazzo who got a little too close to the über-celebs. And if those two incidents weren't enough to put the citizens of India on their toes, the car Angelina was riding in struck a 19-year-old on a motor bike as the actress' driver tried to avoid a group of swarming paparazzi.

Could a horror movie have saved Natalee Holloway's life?
The creators of the brutal film "Chaos" make the bold statement that yes, their film could have. Though "Chaos" is not inspired by Holloway's disappearance, the movie is being promoted as an unsettling warning to young women and their parents -- and that stance is causing some controversy.
"The movie is so terrifying and horrific to a young girl, we don't think any young girls who see the movie would leave a bar with two strangers," says producer Steven Jay Bernheim. The movie follows two young women who venture to a rave in the woods. They leave the party with a drug dealer to score some ecstasy, and quickly become the pawns in a psychotic gang's sick game. The two suffer through torture, rape and murder and, as some reviews have noted, not in that particular order.
