Former 'America's Next Top Model' contestant Toccara Jones never ceases to entertain.
The plus-size beauty shed pounds on VH1's 'Celebrity Fit Club,' appeared as a spokesperson for Ashley Stewart, interviewed a who's who of entertainers as a correspondent for the now-defunct BET show 'The Black Carpet' and even nailed more pages in the much-buzzed-about all-black issue of Vogue Italia magazine than her mentor Tyra Banks (14, to be exact).
These days, she's not opposed to striking a pose, but Toccara is on the hunt for a man and ready to let America in on the action.
TV One announced a few months ago that she'd be replacing Omarosa on the second season of 'Donald Trump Presents the Ultimate Merger' -- something she's beyond excited about.
"Right now, I am in La La Land because I'm fantasizing and think everyone is going to be 6'3. I feel like I am doing a dating show and I want to broaden my horizons so I told them, [I'm open to] any nationality, but I do like height," she gushed to BlackVoices.com in the midst of hosting an event in Atlanta recently.
"As women we always think, 'I want this. I want that.' I don't have a checklist. You all know me. You all know my personality. I'm like, 'Come on, Trump. Come on TV One. Find me somebody,' " she laughed. 
Taping will start later this month, with the show set to premiere this fall, but, don't expect the show to be too similar to last season's competition.
"I think it's just different personalities, period," the Dayton, Ohio native said. "She's Omarosa and Toccara is Toccara. I think Omarosa's season was absolutely amazing, and that's one of the reasons why I signed up for this. I think I'm fun, outgoing, loud and spontaneous," she said. "I think these guys are going to court me and love me, and I just can't wait. That's my fantasy."
Toccara's last boyfriend was Atlantic Records President of Black Music Michael Kyser, who as of late has been rumored to be dating gossip blogger Necole Bitchie.
"Is he with Necole Bitchie?" Toccara mused. "I don't think he's with her, but he just told me that on the blogs they said that he bought Necole Bitchie some breasts. Does she have fake breasts? I don't even know. These people be making up these rumors."

Regardless of his relationship status, the buxom beauty still has a great deal of love and respect for Kyser.
"I think Kyser is absolutely amazing. Our relationship is and was absolutely amazing. He supports me in everything I do. Even with me doing this show now, he's very supportive to me as a friend, and I really value his advice," she revealed.
"He's my best friend. We talk about things. Even things that we don't want to talk about. We just have a really good relationship, and I think that's why I don't have any securities or anything. There's no need to. I'm single. He's single. He can date whoever he wants to date. I can date whoever I want to date."
When probed about whether she'd consider getting back with him if she doesn't find Mr. Right on television, she added, "I haven't ruled it out."
In her personal life, Toccara still manages to keep up with Banks "as much as I can" and a few of her 'Top Model' pals.
"Tyra is so much about her business and is so focused on her brand and everything, but she gives me great advice and is a great mentor. She never leaves me hanging. I love Tyra," she shared.

But she had no clue Tyra was currently enrolled at Harvard Business School.
"She's going to Harvard right now? She's smart, duh? She knows what she's doing," she joked.
"I think that 'America's Next Top Model' was such an amazing platform and opportunity for all the girls. I think we've all turned five minutes into an hour full of fame and have been very successful. Yaya [DaCosta] is doing her thing. She was just at my birthday in New York City and Eva [Marcille] is in L.A. and me and her still stay in touch, and she's wonderful," she said.
"But I think coming from where we're from, and of all the girls who have participated in 'America's Next Top Model,' and for you to be able to say YaYa, Eva and Toccara to stand apart from the pack is just absolutely amazing."

Now is you all don't know what sad is this person right here. Mrbluesay
He said black women is coping white women. Now aint that a joke for ya' when I read and see his comments I just about pee in my pants with laughter.
By the way where is that Bo Derek. The white women who copy our hair style corn roles. Oh I forgot about Jennifer Lopez the one who had surgery on her azz to make it bigger. Tina Maire who wanted to black song like a black woman. The G Vanderbilt woman with the jeans who dated the deep voices black man who did the 7up commerical. When he dumped her azz she stated public for all the black women to return her jeans because they were not made for them. And when they did she loss her sales big time. Poor baby. Its mighty funny how so many white women that dates our black men. Now tell me who more trying to be like who. We don't get long wigs or weaves to look white Mrbluesays. We do it because we know we can look anyway we wants and still out do white women any day at anytime. Your problem is you wants a black woman but no black woman wants you. I am a very very fair skinned black woman and pray when I was young to have dark skin. Why because black is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!! Always has been and always will be. Get it Right man. Oh there are many more whites trying to be black than blacks trying to be white. And that is a known fact

Wow!!! you seen to be a very jealous person. You are sad. That is one beautiful woman. Maybe you can't see it because you must me crossed eyed . Whats gets me is so many of you always comments on how some of these stars make their money. If its not coming out of your pocket so what. And if Donald Trump is making money off them (and by the way I don't care for him) so what, they are making money also. Dang! people stop hating. What not hate on those that need it. Not the ones who don't.

I am attracted to Tocccara Jones, and would love to correspond with her. I am single just as she, and wants to start something with a serious woman.
I hope BV will allow her to contact me this way we can start talking. I am very interested in getting acquainted with her. This could be the opportunity she's wishing to have to meet an undiscovered treasure.
