Former supermodel and ex-judge of America's Next Top Model, Janice Dickinson, 52, has been banned from fashion week. Dickinson, who now has her own show, The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency, was banned from all IMG models events after several disturbances at Ed Hardy's fashion show last Monday at L.A. Fashion Week. First, she refused to take her assigned seat, taking one in the front row reserved for fashion week organizer Fern Mallis. That wasn't enough diva behaviour, however. Dickinson stuck her feet into an ice bucket meant for beverages because of an alleged broken toe. This isn't the first time that Janice Dickinson has been banned from an event due to her flare for drama and star-treatment demands.
