"Tyra Banks has praised new America&amp;#039;s Next Top Model judge Andr\u00E9 Leon Talley, branding him a &amp;quot;larger-than-life personality&amp;quot;.  The Vogue editor-in-large will join Banks, Nigel Barker and Jay Manuel for the 14th cycle of the CW show, replacing Miss J Alexander.  Speaking to E! Online, creator and host Banks said that the models &amp;quot;loved&amp;quot; Talley because he displayed his &amp;quot;soft side&amp;quot; with them.  &amp;quot;In the first episode, one of the girls breaks down crying and Andr\u00E9 was actually the softest with her and, from behind a desk, figuratively hugged her and supported her when she was feeling extremely insecure,&amp;quot; she explained. &amp;quot;I didn&amp;#039;t know that we were going to get that from him. You get this fashionista but you also get this, like, dad character.&amp;quot; Talley added: &amp;quot;I can be nice and harsh. Hard is not the word I would use. Harsh, nice, but not the hardest, no.&amp;quot; America&amp;#039;s Next Top Model premieres March 10 on The CW. &amp;gt; In Pictures: &amp;#039;America&amp;#039;s Next Top Model&amp;#039; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
