How to Be Like Janice Dickinson

She's bold. She's brash. She's the world's first supermodel (maybe). She's Janice Dickinson. If you're just dying to be like her, read on to find out how you can.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Tons of plastic surgery

1. 
   America's first supermodel?

   Whether it's true or not, proclaim yourself to be the world's first supermodel. She did during her stint as a judge on "America's Next Top Model." Whether that's true is still up to debate. (Still, don't tell Janice that the day of the big-money modeling contracts came after her 15 minutes of fame were over).

2. 
   Just another day in Janice's life

   Get yourself photographed exposing various parts of your body. We may never know whether she does it for the publicity, because she's drunk or just for the fun of it. But one thing is certain: if Janice shows up for an event, a body part will be exposed.

3. 
   Not TOO much plastic surgery, ya think?

   Get so much plastic surgery that you become virtually unrecognizable. Back in the day, Janice was an amazingly beautiful woman. But that day was about 20 years ago. In a sad effort to recapture that youthful look, Janice has had more than her share of plastic surgery (and then some). But to her credit however, she doesn't hide that fact even going so far as to call one of her books, "Everything About Me is Fake...And I'm Perfect." At least she is honest.

4. 
   Janice with Sly and Gianni Versace

   Have sex with 3 different men in the same week (Sly Stallone being one of them) and when you become pregnant decide that Sly is the baby's daddy (and even sue him for paternity). Find out later that it's the other guy's baby! Yes, this did happen to Janice. During the week that Janice's 13-year old daughter Savannah was conceived, Janice slept with 3 different men, including Sly. While she was pregnant, Janice told Sly he was the father so Sly being the gentleman(?) that he was, stayed with Janice during her pregnancy. Several months after Savannah was born, however, Sly decided to have a paternity test, which revealed that he was not the father.
   
   Oh well, it was good while it lasted.

5. 
   Janice's first book

   Write several tell all books spilling the names of all the men (and women) you've slept with. Janice includes Mick Jagger, Jon Lovitz, Prince Albert II, Warren Beatty, John Cusack, Grace Jones, Kelly LeBrock, Dolph Lundgren, Liam Neeson, Jack Nicholson, Bruce Willis and Frank Zappa. Janice also claims that she's slept with 1,000 men! When did she find time to model?

6. 
   Janice and Omarosa on

   Try to resurrect your dying career by appearing on as many cheesy reality shows as possible, including "The Surreal Life" and "I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Outta Here!"

7. 
   Janice and her models

   Star in your own reality show as the owner of a "modeling agency" and antagonize all your clients and employees.
   
   The name of the show/agency is "The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency." Every week viewers are treated to watching Janice as she signs new models then scares them away, acquires new clients then scares them away, gets her models jobs but then loses them the jobs as she oversteps her boundaries and scares them away.

8. 
   Janice stating her opinion on

   Insult your former boss by calling her fat on the "Today" show. When Janice and Al Roker were talking about the photo of Jennifer Love Hewitt in a bikini and how some people thought she looked fat, Janice nicely defended Jennifer. Janice said that Jennifer wasn't fat but was healthy looking. But Janice being Janice couldn't leave well enough alone. She ruined the rest of the interview when she said, "you want to see someone who's fat, I'm sorry, Tyra. Tyra Banks is fat." After she was confronted by Al Roker about the remark, Janice sort of backed off, but it's still unclear if she was being genuine.

9. 
   Janice and her jewels

   Borrow expensive jewelery and then never return it. Jeweler-to-the-stars Neil Lane is claiming Janice made off with thousands of dollars of borrowed baubles worn in an August 2002 photo shoot. Neil Lane Inc. filed a breach-of-contract suit in Los Angeles Superior Court seeking compensatory damages of at least $88,000. According to the suit, the former cover girl was loaned several pieces of jewelry for use in the photo shoot, including a pair of diamond earrings worth $52,000; a turquoise, pearl and gold necklace worth $14,000; a coral and gold necklace priced at $17,500 and turquoise and pearl earrings valued at $4,500. Despite numerous requests Dickinson has failed to return the jewelry. For her part, Janice claims that the sparkly trinkets were either lost or stolen from her home back in 2002 as she has been unable to find them--a message she relayed to Neil Lane's insurance company.

10. 
    Janice at LA Fashion Week

    Get yourself banned from fashion shows by refusing to sit in the seat assigned to you, claiming you're not close enough to the media. After causing a commotion at the Ed Hardy fashion show during Los Angeles Fashion Week last year, Janice has been told to stay away from all events staged by model talent agency IMG.
    
    According to various newspapers, Dickinson refused to take her assigned seat at the event claiming that she wasn't close enough to the press. And true to Dickinson's diva form, she instead insisted on taking the seat along the edge of the runway belonging to Fashion Week organizer Fern Mallis. After Smashbox co-creator Davis Factor reportedly "personally reprimanded her," Dickinson finally agreed to move.
    
    But the drama didn't end there. Dickinson reportedly claimed she'd broken her toe, and after the show she could be seen backstage inserting her foot into a large tub of ice reserved for sponsored beverages.

Tips & Warnings

• Janice is not shy talking about her past. That includes her drinking and drug taking past. She was eventually able to kick her habits. If you find yourself imbibing too much, stop and get professional help immediately.
• Janice has also claimed that her father sexually abused her for a number of years. If you or someone you love is being abused, look for help and speak to a professional or someone you trust. There IS help out there.
• While there is a lot to make fun of in Janice's life, you do have to give her credit for escaping an abusive childhood and making something out of her life. So if you are somewhere in your own life that you don't want to be, think about Janice and realize that if she can make it, so can you!
• If you do drink occasionally, never drink and drive. Either take public transportation or choose a designated driver.
