Did reality tv execs have a conference call on repairing their image and decide that, hey, altruism couldn’t hurt? On ANTM the models pose as homeless girls to promote a non-profit. Their knit berets, fingerless gloves and smokey eyes suggest that street kids are styled by H&M. Celebs fired on The Apprentice are blue because their breast cancer foundations lose out.

What’s happened to the genre that launched Paris Hilton?
