Tyra Banks’ show to go on for another season

19

December

Tyra Banks’ show will continue on air for another season i.e the 2008-09 season.”Tyra lovely-banks-smile.jpgBanks Show” got a major vote of confidence from Fox-owned TV stations in 22 markets.

The show’s household rating is down 6% season to date to a 1.5, but Warner Bros. lost some of the double runs to get its rookie syndie series “The Keith Ablow Show” cleared on Fox stations.

And even though the show’s down 8% year to year in the women 18-34 demographic to a 1.2, “Tyra” is still the fourth highest-rated series in that category among all 13 syndie talkshows, so the company gets a premium from Madison Avenue for the seven 30-second spots it sells within each hour.

Banks is a co-exec producer of “Tyra” with Alex Duda, John Redmann and Benny Medina. They tape the show in L.A. Ken Werner, president of Warner Bros. Domestic TV, and Fox TV Stations CEO Jack Abernethy engineered the “Tyra” deal.

Way to go Tyra!

TYRA BANKS : ‘ ABSOLUTELY EVERYBODY’ !!!

October

Multi- faceted and Multi-talented have been a completely new meaning by Tyra Banks. I was just going through her career and life details and I must say I was left totally zapped ……! I mean there is nothing that this woman hasn’t done .. Modelling … Movies … Business … Music …T.V Shows… you name it she’s done it !

Although Tyra hasn’t had avery successful career in music and movies I must say that she is one of those women who nevergive up……I mean those ‘ there is nothing wrong in trying’ type!I even got some intersting facts about her career like :

  • tyra_banks_6.jpeg Tyra Banks was named as one of the world’s 100 most influential people in TIME magazine .
  • Banks has had minor roles in a few movies over the years. Her debut in movies came in 1995 when she co-starred in the critically acclaimed drama Higher Learning.
  • In 2004, she recorded her first and, only single, Shake Ya Body . In total, she has recorded three songs.
  • Banks’ television career began on the fourth season of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, in which she played Jackie, Will’s ex-girlfriend. She also appeared on Felicity. As well as her role as executive producer, host and head judge of the hit TV show America’s Next Top Model, she currently hosts The Tyra Banks Show, a daytime talk show which premiered in the United States on September 12, 2005
  • Tyra’s career took off when she made the move from high-fashion to a commercial market. She was the first African-American to be featured on the covers of GQ and the Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issue, but is most noted for her work as a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, Victoria’s Secret model, and talk-show hostess.
  • In 1997 she won the prestigious Michael Award for “Supermodel of the Year
  • Tyra retired from modeling in 2005. She made her final walk down the runway at the 2005 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
  • Last year the media mogul, now worth an estimated $140 million, made about $18 million. She owns 25 percent of the reality show “America’s Next Top Model” and a majority stake in her syndicated talk show.

And I could just go on……….. I guess that Tyra ain’t one of those who try to ape a succesful celeb………she is just…..” absolutely everybody ” !


TYRA BANKS : I’M A REBEL ! ;)

October

tyra_banks_5.jpegTyra Banks the name is sure to ring a bell and along with that it brings a long linegue of contribution to the world of modelling.Tyra the creater and host of ‘America’s Next Top Supermodel’ claims that she is taking more interest in her looks post her career as a model than during her modelling days!

Tyra Banks an ex-model and creator/host of “America’s next top supermodel” says:When I was a model, I didn’t work out, I ate whatever I wanted - I didn’t care.

Tyra..A rebel..sounds quite good..actually the rebel term seems to be fitting you perefct.And looking at you know we wonder what would have been the result had you done all these things during your modelling days! ;)


TYRA BANKS SHUTS THE DOOR ON “ANOREXIA”

12

October

tyra_banks_4.jpegSo when is the last time you let out a huge sigh and shoved your plate of food away on seeing those ultra-skinny and assumed “hot” models walking down the ramp?Or when was the last time you looked into the mirror and tried to compare yourself with those models ..saying Iwish I could be like them .If you have been undergoing such feelings a bit too regularly ,then my piece of advice is…….CUT IT OUT!Anorexia …………a problem that seems to have spread to a great extent amongst todays youth especially young girls.

Perhaps this is what prompted tv.show host Tyra Banks to invite a 14yr old girl Anorexic on her show. At just 5 years old, JUSTINE GALLAGHER was so afraid of gaining weight, she began skipping meals and eating paper instead. And she says the TV show, “America’s Next Top Model,” didn’t help her self image!

Justine recalled “I would eat a little bit of breakfast, a bite or two at lunch and a bite of each thing that my mom gave me at dinner and then the rest was paper,” “I had a little baby fat on me and I saw other kids being teased, and figured if I didn’t put on weight then I wouldn’t be made fun of.”Her nervous habit soon escalated into full-blown anorexia, and her weight dropped to a shocking 32 pounds. She began seeing a counselor, but when she tuned in to the reality competition show, “America’s Next Top Model,” several years ago, Justine says the images of all the young, thin girls on it sent her spiraling backwards.”I was kind of thinking that if that was the definition of the model, beautiful and skinny, then maybe I should be beautiful and skinny,” she said.

So Tyra Banks the face behind ” America’s next top model” invited Justine over . Well it does appear that it did have a great effect as

Justine said : “I watch it (America’s….) all the time and I see that they encourage the girls to eat, and I see that she’s trying really hard to encourage a good body image,” Justine says. “There were times I might think, ‘Maybe I won’t fit in now because I’m a certain weight.’ But I’d rather not fit in than be somebody who’s miserable and fits in!”

Well that is so true ….Tyra what should I say you amaze me everytime. And to all those girls.”the next time you shove your plate of food away just remember you could also become another Justine ……and perhaps you wont be as lucky as her !


TYRA TAKES ON BEYONCE ! ;)

October

tyra_banks_3.jpegBEYONCE KNOWLES……..A stunner for sure ..but this time around someone else managed to stun her…. actually something else to be more precise.And I must tell you the impact was so great that it left Beyonce rolling in laughter. Now your confused right…..relax ..I’ll tell you what’s the hurry.

Now it happened one day that America’s next supermodel’s Superhost and ex-model decided to give Pal Beyonce the Last laugh !It was during the shooting of Tyra Bank’s show in which Beyonce who was the guest that night got a little suprise from Tyra which left Beyonce in Hysterics! she filmed herself shopping in L.A as the former Destiny’s Child diva !

After explaining about how she is often mistaken as Beyonce, Banks hit public restrooms and stores in a blonde wig, mimicking the pop star’s moves and recreating the singer’s Deja Vu video on the street. Tyra employed some shoppers at mall ‘The Grove’ where she shot the segment, to hold up a cut-out of Knowles’ boyfriend Jay-Z, who appears in the video. Banks also wore replicas of the outfits Beyonce donned for the provocative video :)

Beyonce ,it is being said was just laughing throughout the segment and even declared that it was “really hillarious” ! Must say Tyra is really one multi talented women ………… Must say on hearing this piece of news I must say she also has an amazing sense of humour too ! :)

tyra_banks_2.jpgIs it a Bird…….Is it a plane…….No it’s SUPERWOMAN….Well the modern day superwoman atleast .Who is she?………. well the supertalented tv show host and ex model……. Tyra Banks . Tyra has once again shown us one thing that where there is a will there is a way.

Tyra had recently in the company of another superduper women,actress Reese Witherspoon designed dresses that were auctioned for charity. Now as they say that Charity begins at home ……….Tyra decided to do just that by helping a film fraternity member retain his home.

She bought $3,000 worth of T-shirts to help save his house. Diamond, who played school geek Screech in the 1990s teen show, is selling autographed T-shirts in a bid to keep his home. The 29-year-old needs to raise $250,000 to save his Milwaukee, Wisconsin, house from a foreclosure order. The shirts have a photo of the actor as character Screech Powers holding a sign that says, “Save My House.” The back of the shirt reads, “I paid $15.00 to save Screech’s house. The t-shirts were later distributed within the audience …….

Must say that this was a great piece of work by Tyra ………… with women like you one this is for sure that there is no one stopping her ….so guy’s side please coz right now it’s the time to say..WOMEN ON THE TOP!
