Where's America's first Top Model Adrianne now?

adrianne_curry_1I've been wondering what's happened to America's Next Top Model winner Adrianne Curry since she won the show, I've done some snooping and discovered all sorts of juicy goss including the fact that she's bi-sexual.

This first season of the show premiered in the US in May 2003 which means there's been loads of time for her to get up to Top Model sorts of things in between then and now.

From the looks of things she's been involved in various modelling shenanigans including fashion shows for various clothing brands and shops - including Macy's - as well as shoots for People, Stuff, Maxim and Playboy. This latter's what made her the mega cash she was after 'cos she was paid a million bucks to appear on the cover and as a nude centre spread.

Once America's Top Model finished she had loads to say about Tyra Banks and the fact that she never received the Revlon modelling contract as she was told it was gonna be. According to Adrianne all the contestants were under the impression that they were winning a big modelling contract with Revlon but when the show ended all it involved was modelling at conventions for which she never got paid.

I never had one clue what exactly they were winning from Revlon but them all thinking they were getting much more than they were during the show isn't surprising Reality TV news.

It couldn't have affected Adrianne too deeply because early last year she agreed to put herself through it again when she appeared in VH1's show The Surreal Life which is a Big Brother type show that puts the spotlight on has-been celebrities.

Also in this show was actor Christopher Knight who's claim to fame is being kid Peter Brady in the '70's series The Brady Bunch. He and Adrianne - who's 25 years younger than him - started a romance on The Surreal Life and moved in together once the show was over.

Chris and Adrianne
At the end of 2005 VH1 broadcast a show called My Fair Brady about Chris and Adrianne's life together, at the end of the season he proposed to her and the second season of the show has just started airing in the US this month.

The shows puts Adrianne and Chris in the same league as Trista and Ryan and Rob and Amber as Reality TV contestants who really go through with getting married.

Chris and Adrianne got married on 27 May in a gothic themed wedding and the show's about the preparations leading up it, as well as the actual deed. Adrianne was paid $250 000 for her appearance in The Surreal Life which means after two seasons of My Fair Brady her and her Brady must be pulling in way more.

When she was announced winner Tyra told her her life was going to change in big ways and Adrianne said she'd never need to wait tables again so even though she hasn't gone on to become a Top American Supermodel the way the series promised - these two things have come true.

Despite her marrying a guy, she's said that she definitely swings both ways and has had relationships with various women in the past - which isn't surprising considering the size of the crush her and Elyse had on each other.

Adrianne's also said that she previously had a heroin and cocain habit - which explains her slurry speech - and that she had treatment before appearing on America's Next Top Model.

As for what's what with the second season of the show - e.tv has confirmed that we'll being seeing it but don't have dates as to exactly when.
