AGE 30
MUSTWORTHINESS A declawer with decolletage to die for,
this mother hen makes UPN's ''America's Next Top Model'' more
delectable than any show about dueling waifs has a right to be.
PHYSICAL PERFECTION IS ''Halle Berry's waist, Jessica Simpson's
bone structure, Cindy Crawford's mole, Niki Taylor's smile,
Jennifer Lopez's skin, [Victoria's Secret model] Adriana Lima's
eyes, Heidi Klum's personality...and my big-ass forehead.''
CAREER
HIGH ''As a model, being the first black woman on the cover of the
Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue and on the cover of the
Victoria's Secret catalog; as a producer, creating 'America's Next
Top Model' and making UPN a force to be reckoned with.''
FALL INTO
THE GAP ''In high school I auditioned -- wait, not auditioned, look
how screwed up my life is -- I applied to the Gap, but I never got
a response.''
NEXT Two more seasons of ''Top Model'' and a host of
other TV projects, including a ''Model'' spin-off. Banks is also
recording a solo album, which she hopes to have out by early
2005.
