Paulina Porizkova has been fired from the popular show America's Next Top Model as she revealed to Craig Ferguson on 'The Late Late Show' on Tuesday night.

She claims she was fired on her birthday and that the reason she was in Los Angeles was that she was looking for a job.

Porizkova had been a judge for two years on the show, but last night's finale was her last appearance. She was apparently fired over the phone.

"Just to be fair here, the reason I was told I was fired was because ... it seemed that `America's Next Top Model' had gotten too fat and they needed to cut some fat — and the fat was me," she explained to Ferguson.

She had been a judge along with J. Alexander, Nigel Barker and Tyra Banks.

Show representatives declined to comment on the matter, but Paulina had this to say to Craig Ferguson:

"I really believe that they just felt like they didn't need me, which, of course, they don't."

I just think it so downright rude to fire someone on the phone. A spineless act. At least face the woman and look her in the eye.
