Janice Dickinson Insists On Hiring Models With High School Diplomas

Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - Self-proclaimed first supermodel Janice Dickinson wants wannabe models applying at her agency to show their high school diplomas as she didn't want to work with inexperienced kids.

Dickinson, 53, insists that "bony-assed skinny" kids don't know anything at all like Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell.

Contactmusic.com has quoted her as saying, "Kate Moss wasn't all that. She was this bony-assed skinny 14-year-old when I met her. Naomi Campbell was a 12-year-old little girl."

"I have a 14-year-old myself and I would never turn her out in the modeling industry today. On 'The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency' I make sure they give me their high school graduation certificate and then they can go on."

Dickinson says her efforts could save the fashion world from another high-tantrum diva like Campbell.

She continues, "The model who has been in the most trouble has been Miss Naomi Campbell, with her anger issues. I was right there when her mother just turned her out when she was 12. You don't let a little girl out in the world at 12 and 13 because they simply don't know anything."

"It's the same thing with Kate Moss - always having problems with illicit devices; a pure case of being turned out in an industry far too soon."

She adds, "Tyra Banks and Cindy Crawford have made it because they graduated high school and they entered the field with a parent around them."

Dickinson's modeling agency has been filmed into a reality series since 2006 on Oxygen Network.
