Inside the "America's Next Top Model Obsessed" party

Oxygen has a new show premiering on Sunday called America's Next Top Model Obsessed that, as you can probably tell from the title, is far too high-concept for me to explain here. I checked out the party last night and while it was fun to see a dozen or so cycles' worth of aspiring top models milling about, the most shocking moment of the night was when I saw Gossip Girl's Connor Paolo (who plays gay teen Eric Van Der Woodsen) ... with short, jet-black hair!

No idea if this makeover has anything to do with Paolo's decision not to sign up as a series regular (or maybe Eric's just going through a "phase"?) but it was interesting to see the change. (And thumbs-up on the new look, IMHO!)

After the jump you can see some pics of the ladies and gents of ANTM, as well as out Broadway hunk Nick Adams and a rather mortifying shot of myself with adorable Cycle 8 winner, Jaslene. And for more scoop, check out our pal John Polly's red carpet coverage over at NewNowNext!
