Tyra Tries To Condescend Professional Dominatrix Into Submission [Tyra(nt)]
newVideoPlayer("/domtyra_jez_512K.flv", 506, 423,""); If there's one thing that pisses me off about Tyra Banks, it's her attitude about the sex industry and women's sexuality in general. They seem to make her uncomfortable, so she wants people to behave in a way that doesn't make her uncomfortable — because, after all, this is Tyra's world and we're just living in it. My problem with this is that by setting rules of acceptable behavior, Tyra is reinforcing the antiquated notion that women are supposed to

The Star Report: If Ted Nugent were president — guns, war, more guns; plus, Madonna, Britney Spears, Tyra Banks
As the election season draws to a close, it's good to finally have some words of wisdom — or of unbridled craziness, depending on your political leanings — from Ted "Where's My Gun?" Nugent. He's written a book called "Ted, White and Blue" that outlines what his platform would look like if he ever ran for president, which he won't.
