Matthew McConaughey’s baby mama seems like a nice enough girl, but what exactly are her qualifications for anything other than “model”? Bravo seems to think Camila Alves has something, though. They’ve just hired Camila to be the new host of Shear Genius, the reality show/contest to pick the next great hair stylist. Shear Genius is preparing for its third season, and they’ve just kicked out Jaclyn Smith. Camila’s pretty, but she’s no Jaclyn Smith. My mom’s going to be so upset Jaclyn got the ax.
Get your scissors sharpened and brush up on your layering techniques, Shear Genius fans, Season 3 is on its way with new host Camila Alves.
The Bravo show, which pits wannabe hair stylists against each other in the salon for a $100,000 prize, was hosted by Jaclyn Smith in the past.
Camila will take on her new hosting duties in the upcoming season, and will be assisted by judges Kim Vo and reality show veteran Jonathan Antin. Jonathan starred on his own show, Blow Out, which revolved around daily life in his salons in L.A. He’s also the brother of Pussycat Dolls’ founder Robin Antin.
Maybe Levi’s daddy Matthew McConaughey will stop by with that mane of golden curls for a touch-up! Tune in this season to find out!
[From OK! Magazine]
That would be funny if Matthew McConaughey guest starred on Shear Genius. He probably wouldn’t let the contestants get anywhere near his hair though - if he comes on, it will be a guest judge, that’s my guess.
So, back to the original question: What are Camila’s qualifications? Or does her resume just read “Matthew McConaughey’s baby mama”? Jaclyn Smith was and is a goddess - more than a pretty face, she’s a smart businesswoman who knows a lot about Hollywood, fashion and styling. I’ll miss her.
Here are Camila and Matthew with adorable baby Levi at Ron Meyer’s annual Easter celebration in Malibu on Sunday. Images thanks to Fame Pictures .

Thank you Katie Holmes and Jen Garner.
Now other gold- diggers might think that it’s enough to get pregnant after dating a man- and there- you got a career advancement.
It’s lovely to see that women are moving backwards in Hollywood and their status and opportunities is being determined by who they bo!nk rather than their own ability and talent.
-
Jaclyn is beautiful, timeless, gracious and elegant…a true lady. She’s too good for this stupid show anyway. Bravo, you made a HUGE mistake! (The one they should have got rid of, is that swarmy Rene guy!)
-
ok, I never understood why she was hosting this show anyways, what does she have to do with hair anyways and her delivery, oy vey, you could see her reading the cue cards…fresh meat, it’ll do wonders for the show…
-
Bravo is really good at these missteps. The current host of Make Me A Supermodel, is some random model chick. She replaced Niki Taylor, who was always gracious and was a nice balance to Tyson Beckwith, and Niki is a Supermodel. I like Jaclyn on that show and she is a Hollywood legend which adds to a show like this. Now they have hired another random chick to host another of their shows. If they are hiring random people to host shows on Bravo, I am available. And please, for the love of God, get rid of the Eurogay! I can’t understand a damn thing she says.
-
Someone must have offered Jaclyn something much better so good for her for leaving. I bet Camilla will do nicely, the job is easy anyhow.
-
Jen Garner had a damn successful career before she met Ben. She isn’t a gold digger by any means. And neither is Camila. She was an internationally acclaimed model before she & Matt ever met.
It should go without saying, but it obviously doesn’t: Not every woman who is with a famous guy is a gold digger.
Anyway, best of luck to her. She & Matt sure made a pretty baby!
-
Camila is gorgeous…I would watch the show just to see her.
-
Jen Garner got her chance and was interduced to the creator of that TV show by dating and marrying an actor who already had a job and he was the one who helped her, got her a small role and introduced her to the director (as well as other people).
Then she continues to move up by the same method- and the only reason we are now talking about her after all her “movies” failed is because she is using Ben and his daughter to get some attention.
Camila was barely known. Another working model as other tons of models walk around and you don’t even know their names.
They both used their uterus to ensure their status and forced fatherhood on men that made it on their own.
Piggybacking on a man who is successful on his own right, is the oldest lowest thing a woman can do.
I thought be are past that point in history and that it’s no longer a “legitimate” practice in our society.
-
Shear Genius always felt forced and awkward to me. Hopefully with some fresh blood, it can be a better show. I think Smith is timelessly gorgeous and is very sweet but she didn’t bring much to the table here. There’s nothing cutting edge or even slightly risky about her, so she was a bit boring. They really needed someone younger anyhow.
-
Sorry, but its still bullshit. I don’t care how cynical you are, but women are capable of loving a man for more than just his money.
Saying things like They both used their uterus to ensure their status and forced fatherhood on men that made it on their own. is just plain offensive
-
bodhi,
you have to realize, this is ned youre dealing with here. he’s a complete misogynist about every story. he hates all women performers. havent you seen his rants on angelina? there is nothing anyone can say logically to him whilst he is hating on all women on this site and making comments about their anatomy, their trashiness etc. he hates them all.on another note, i dont really understand this swap. smith was an icon of an era, with a haircut to match. alves is like 23 y.o., and doesnt even have a real haircut, so all her commentary is going to have to be taken with a grain of salt.
-
I know, I know, its not worth the effort but still… A little tilting at windmills is ok here & there
I never thought about it, but Camilla really doesn’t have an actual haircut. I guess Matt helped her embrace her inner hippie!
-
Bros: totally agree about the lack of haircut thing. Hadn’t thought of that. Why not Agnes Deyne? Now there’s a very stylish young woman who’s not afraid of changing hairstyles. Or Linda Evangelista. ( I know nothing of these women’s personalities.)
-
Trillion, I *heart* you just for mentioning Linda Evangelista’s name.
I have no probs with Camilla, but I think that’s because she’s never been known to talk much. Now that this show will be her mouthpiece, that might change. Once they start talking and startto become known other than so and so’s girlfriend, its usually down hill with these couples. Ask any of George Clooney’s former flavors.
-
camila’s hair always looks like crap. why is she hosting a hair reality show? wtf bravo?
-
Hey Ned, so I suppose Tom Cruise or Ben Affleck didn’t know how to put on a condom?
-
This reminds me of Bravo replacing that food critic (magazine editor?) lady from Top Chef with Padma Lakshmi. They seem to have a never ending supply of random models to take over hosting duties for shows.
No one really listens to Padma’s opinion either, so I suspect the hairstylists won’t be paying attention to Camila’s opinions either.
-
“women are capable of loving a man for more than just his money.”
I didn’t say anything about money. I talked about status, career opportunities and fame.
Yes, Jen Garner used her private life to climb higher and get more fame and opportunities and when those were explored, she moved on to the next guy.
Katie Holmes loves Tom? She is such a bad actress that even when she is given an easy script (”It was like, AMAZING!”) she doesn’t sound convincing.
Do you honestly believe Camila would have been given that opportunity had she not trap the Matthew?
-
“Hey Ned, so I suppose Tom Cruise or Ben Affleck didn’t know how to put on a condom?”
Tom Cruise doesn’t need a condom (unless it’s against STDs).
He never needed it. Not with his past 2 wives and other girlfriends.
Ben Affleck sure knows how to put on a condom, but then he had this huge mistake called TRUSTING JEN GARNER.
And I certainly don’t think all women are as low as those fame and gold diggers.
Don’t lower all women to the level of Jen Garner and Camila Alves.
-
Ned, Ned ned, what did your mother do to you?
Camilla does not seem to have any personality at all. Maybe I am prejudiced but she just seems so dull.
-
I would never do that Ned. I wouldn’t want to take that away from you
-
I don’t think Ned is a man. I think some (ahem) gold-digging harlot stole Ned’s man. And I get the distinct feeling that Ned is none too happy about it….Ned is on a mission to defrock all the gold-diggers and whores and skanky opportunists. That’s when ‘he’s’ not obsessing over the welfare of the poor, misfortunate, mistreated children of a pair of complete strangers.
-
if he was that easy to trap(with a baby)someone would have managed that long before now. Let’s face it, someone who looks like her has options.
-
She is a gold digger just like the rest of the Brasilians and Spanish speaking countries in South America. I know for a fact, I’m Portuguese/American in NY and have dated a Brasilian chick and a Spanish chick from South America(don’t remember what country) and that’s how they are. Very sneaky and manipulative. Never again!
-
I’m sitting here watching sheer genius and am very disappointed this year. Aiden I can’t stand and the model has no personality. At least Jaclyn has class and heart.
-
I am bummed why did they get rid of Jacqueline Smith!
-
I am watching Camila on Shear Genius and she is beautiful, yes. Hostess, energy, personality (that comes through on TV) = NO. Awkward fit, weird, everyone else outshines her and it’s obvious she is reading her lines rather than running/hosting the show. The voice is odd, not even sexy Brazilian/Portuguese accent. Heidi Klum and Padma Lakshmi are also gorgeous models but sparkle more & fit more (even thought Padma is a skinny foodie TV host, lol). Bad casting, so bad, so bad, eww…
-
Camila is an awful host! Why did they ever get rid of Jaclyn Smith, she was perfect on the show.
-
How sad to replace someone as classy as Jacklyn Smith with someone who has no personality. I use to love Shear Genius, but last night it was so dull I couldn’t watch. Bravo does it again fixes something that was not broken.
-
I hope Bravo rethinks Camila. I am not a fan of the show but stumbled upon it yesterday. She was AWFUL…probably the worst I have EVER seen on TV. She is flat, reading her lines, boring, no personality, doesn’t “fit” in the role, and you can’t understand a word she says. Bad choice Bravo - can we get a do over?
-
No Jackie!!!
Why else would I watch this show? As usual BRAVO sucks!!!
-
You know what I really think is crazy! That in this day and age BRAVO would replace a woman who is an icon. Ms. Smith has run a million dollar business for over 20 years. They didn’t replace her with another woman of her stature instead they replace her with a model. A woman who is more well known for having a child out of wedlock with a celebrity than her modeling career. What does that say about BRAVO? What does that say about how BRAVO values the skills of women? What it says to me is BRAVO is something I am going to avoid. In fact I am going to talk to my friends about boycotting the products featured on the show.
-
The new host is dreadful! No personality, flat monotone voice, & at the end of the 1st show, came off as hateful. She’s irritating to the point that I may not watch this season, but if I do, I will ff any time she is on. Really bad choice Bravo! But, that’s what happens when someone is chosen on looks alone, & when qualifications, personality & brains mean nothing. Bring back Jaclyn Smith!
-
I have seen this a couple of times basically because I went to the same High School as Orlando Pita and figured it’d be cool to see what he looks like now. Note: …he seemed a bit out of sorts but I wish him well.
Now as for that dreadful hairy Brazilian woman: her accent makes Rene Fris sound like he’s a right proper British aristocrat. She is not only incredibly difficult to understand she is so unlikeable that you just don’t feel like making an attempt to decipher what she is saying. She is as dull as the linoleum in a homeless shelter foyer.
I’m reading all these postings about how attractive she is… but… what about her is attractive? Her hair? Compared to her, Teresa from Real Housewives of New Jersey looks like she’s suffering from alopecia. I’ve always said if God had intended me to like women, he would have made them hairier… I take it all back now. This woman proved me wrong.
Bring Jay Leno back..err.. I mean Jacklyn Smith.
-
I have never watched Shear Genius but, like another poster stumbled upon it and thought “wow! what does Matthew M see in her?” Oh, yeah, she is beautiful. But she sure comes across as dumb, dull and no personality. So I guess looks ARE everything. I thought MM was cerebral, though. Guess not.

Not only that, I’ve always heard Smith was a true lady in the Southern style. Too bad for her.
