Model/Actor Tyson Beckford says that he doesn’t want to model for magazine covers anymore.

WHY? BECAUSE THAT’S AN IDIOT MOVE…

IT TAKES JOBS AWAY FROM MODELS.”
“You have to do a lot of tweaking and airbrushing to get the same from a celebrity that you would get from a model. A lot of celebrities—I’m gonna tell you right now—they’re not 5’11″; they’re not a size 2 to fit into these designer dresses, but the designers want exposure so they’re willing to make the specific dress for that actor or actress to get them to look good on the cover.”

CELEBRITY MAGAZINE COVERS WILL BE ‘OUT’ SOMEDAY
“It’ll all come back around. One day some designer will wake up and say, `You know what? I don’t want to use Gwyneth Paltrow. I want to use Adriana Lima or Gisele. I want to go back to the high fashion.’ I think slowly but surely you’ll see that start happening.”

DEAR TYSON,
THE REASON WHY ACTORS AND MUSICIANS ARE ON MAGAZINE COVERS IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE TALENT BEHIND THEIR FACE. THEIR NOT ‘JUST A FACE.’ DUH
