"Listen, do you know why I am in Los Angeles?... Because I am looking for a job," Paulina told Craig.

Paulina claims she was axed by The CW reality show.

"I was fired by 'America's Next Top Model' on my birthday," she said.

Paulina's birthday is April 9.

The supermodel, who has two sons with husband Ric Ocasek, formerly of The Cars, said she was let go from the show to lessen the load.

"The reason I was told I was fired was because, it seemed that 'America's Next Top Model' has gotten too fat and they needed to cut some fat and the fat was me," she said.

"So I figured it was either that or my gigantic huge ego, which I wasn't aware of until I was told by the producers that I have an ego problem," she later added.

When contacted by Access Hollywood and asked if Paulina had been fired from the show, a rep for The CW would not confirm she was fired. The rep did reveal Paulina is "no longer" with "America's Next Top Model."

    I've read some of the comments below and I feel a huge need to reply to them. I'm shocked that some of you wrote: Tyra should be kicked. I couldn't a IMAGINE a show without Tyra. Though she has issues she's a great role model to girls across the U.S. I look up to her! It's sort of a tradition to get new model's every few season's. Well I ha

    Tyra has the same stupid "deer in the headlights" look on her face that she tells all her up and coming models to have. She thinks she's so damn special but she's not. Her "fierce" look is the same in EVERY photos she takes. She's just jealous of these girls because she's put on too much weight to be a mainstream model now and
