So let us get this straight. While millions of fans and hoards of papparazzi around the world are going bat-poop crazy trying to gain access to Hollywood's No. 1 "It" man, a petite little artist who was so shy she used to eat her lunch alone in a bathroom stall just—whoopsie!—bumped smack into him?

'Tis true. Oh yeah, and she also just so happend to win America's Next Top Model.

You know the drill: Along with the title, Nicole Fox receives a $100,000 contract with cosmetics giant CoverGirl, management by Wilhelmina Models cover and a Seventeen magazine cover.

But now apparently there is a new prize: a backstage rendezvous with Robert Pattinson.

We spoke with Nicole this morning, and in addition to dishing the deets on her ANTM victory, she revealed her surprise run-in with the world's most celebrated vampire earlier today...

Oops. Did we speak too soon? The identity of the newest Top Model won't be announced publicly until next week's finale, but based on what we've learned from our eliminee interrogations, we have all but certified the sure thing.

Ever since the premiere of this season of America's Next Top Model, every sign has pointed to a Nicole victory—and when we spoke to eliminated model Jennifer this morning, she tacitly confirmed that Bloody Eyeball will be the show's 13th winner.

Read on to find out what Jen and fellow eliminee Erin dished about the odds-on favorite...

Whew—Bloody Eyeball lives!

Based on the reality-show ratio of camera time to elimination, Nicole's departure seemed certain in last night's America's Next Top Model. The Gollum look-alike let her crazy flag fly (even more than usual), terrifying even choreographer Benny Ninja.

In the end, though, Nicole's "stoner" voice, disappointing photo shoot and horror-show dance routine didn't even land her in the bottom two. Going home instead was, ironically, a professional dance instructor—and the girl Tyra Banks discovered in her studio audience, whom we just chatted up today for scoop...

"Is Bianca the verb and not the noun?"

This is the question noted ANTM fashion photographer Tyra Banks asked during her fabricated photo shoot. In other words, Bianca can model but is not a model.

So despite learning to soften her expression by thinking of her savior—"Jesus brings the softness into the mix," explained Jay Manuel—the judges ruled that Bianca still forgets her face. Nigel was an even harsher critic: "I'm sort of fed up," he said about the bald beauty.

Before sending Bianca home, however, the girls demonstrated all kinds of nasty. Who was "playing dirty" and confusing a little contest with a physical "football" game? And who shocked Tyra by "getting a little horny" during the photo shoot? Read on...
