Such a Tyra Thing To Do
Tyra Banks popped by Miley Cyrus' controversial Disneyland birthday party earlier this week to give the tween a friendly shout out and to pass on a b-day present. So what did Miley get for her sweet sixteen? Why a framed photo of Tyra at the same age, of course! Welcome to reason 298,784,856 that I love her so much. It's impressive that Tyra is capable of being so egotistical yet so oblivious at the same time. Quite an accomplishment. I just love that in Tyra's world, a framed photo is something that Mile

Kim Stolz Gets Bitchy with Tyra Banks
My Lord, did anything better come out of ANTM than Kim Stolz? (Answer: Yes, totally.) I just adore this girl. So you’ll all recall back at the Fiercee Awards where Kim was working the red carpet for MTV News and did a less-than-friendly interview with TyTy: So I guess last night’s episode of ANTM involved an awards-show themed photo shoot (inspired by the Fiercee Awards!), and one of the girls — who bears an uncanny resemblance to Kim — was given the task of being the “Interviewer with an Attit

Tyra's Minions Have No New Ideas
America's Next Top Model's Miss J (Alexander) and Mister Jay (Manuel) are getting their own show, far, far away from that crazy monster known as Tyra Banks. The problem? The new show's premise has already been done before. Many, many times. Here's the description of the new Operation Fabulous: 'Jay and J' (as Manuel and Alexander are called on Top Model) will travel the country giving women makeovers. In various towns, the duo will select five participants and give them Top M

Tyra Spins Off Top Model
Tyra Banks is looking to do for the entire country what she's done for the model wannabes on her reality show—minus the cramped quarters, petty arguments and questionable eating habits. The CW has given the greenlight to Operation Fabulous, the first spinoff series for the fiercest show in prime time, set to be produced by Banks herself. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the new pilot will essentially expand on one of the most popular elements of Top Model—the model makeover episode—a

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. Among other endeavors, he'd defund health care for smokers and obese people, implement the death penalty for first-time drug dealing offenses and send chronically ou

Nikki Blonsky Denies Kicking Model’s Mother In The Vagina
Nikki Blonsky’s long-awaited take on the violent brouhaha between her family and that of America’s Next Top Model contestant Bianca Golden in Turks Ciacos last August is unsurprisingly different than Golden’s, which she calls “absolute lies.” Will we ever know the truth? Golden claimed on Tyra Banks that things got physical when Blonsky’s father Carl (pictured right) hit Golden’s mother, with the rest of the Hairspray star’s family joining in on the fun. R

Janet Jackson’s shoe game is almost as tight as my reader’s
Thanks to Fresh for sending over this pic of Janet Jackson wearing the same Christian Louboutin Tsunami platform sandals as my loyal reader Pilar’s friend (pictured below). Janet was photographed wearing the shoes while taping a segment of The Tyra Banks Show which aired yesterday. The segment was taped before Janet’s mystery illness caused her to cancel a string of shows. Janet’s shoe game is still not as tight as Pilar’s friend though. I hear the friend flies to NY or Beverly

Janet Jackson Clearly Hates Tyra
Janet Jackson obviously didn't learn her lesson the first time she went on the Tyra Banks Show, because she's back for more — and this time she invited the top model/fat suit extraordinaire out on tour with her. The "good" (and we use that term loosely) stuff starts around the 2:15 mark, where Tyra decides to get in bed with Janet and fulfill the fantasies of men across America. Um, who are these men who fantasize about Tyra and how can we get them committed? Even Janet is uncomfor

Be Still My Heart
Tyra Banks should be ashamed. If you’re going to unleash these creatures upon society after anointing them famous, Tyra, at least hire stylists for them. Someone needs to wake you from your slumber one night with a phone call and say, “Ty-Ty, I have some bad news. Are you sitting down? Do you have someone there with you in case you can’t hold up the phone after I tell you this? Okay. Because Caridee is wearing knee-high socks and Jaslene is wearing a wrap made from the fur of an animal tha
