Supermodel Tyra Banks hosted an episode for her show TYRA where she spent a day as a man and that too, as one of Chingy’s male background rappers!

She says, “I wanted to see what it felt like to be, like, part of an entourage of a rapper…My name was UNCLE D.” But the alter-ego confession on yesterday’s. ELLEN wasn’t as much of a surprise for DeGeneres as what came after, when Banks recalled kissing a girl as Uncle D.

Banks said,

“We came downstairs from the hotel and there were all these girls outside waiting for Chingy and I was like, ‘Yo, you gotta get through me to get to Chingy,’ and this one girl kisses me… to get to Chingy.”

Lesbian DeGeneres squirmed as Banks continued,

“For a second I was like, ‘Ah, it’s a girl…’” The host said, “That was weird, I bet,” prompting red-faced Banks to hold her head in her hands.

Britney Spears and Kevin Federline have admitted to be huge fans of Tyra Banks and her show America’s Next Top Model.

Kevin Federline admitted that some of his wife’s favorite TV shows are rubbing off on him - like reality TV show America’s Next Top Model.

Speaking to the show’s host Tyra Banks on her daily talk show, Kevin Federline adds, “I’m a huge sucker for the show. My wife, she really likes to watch it, so I’ll always catch myself sitting there and she’ll turn it on and that’s it, we’re glued to the TV.

Looks like Tyra Banks wants to add a new feather to her already crowded cap. The former model and TV show hostess is branching out into making kids movies after inking a deal with Nickelodeon Films.

She’s keeping quiet about the project, but has hinted that she might appear in the movie.

“I do want to act sometimes,” she says.

Tyra has also revealed that she hasn’t looked back since ditching her modelling career last year to focus on her chat show and reality show America’s Next Top Model.

“I haven’t missed modelling at all. Toward the end of my career, it was something that I did, but I didn’t get a lot of pleasure out of it,” she says.

Former Supermodel Tyra Banks who hosts “America’s Next Top Model” and “The Tyra Banks Show” is accused of packing pounds.

Since the last few episodes, svelte banks seems to be looking a little plump. The producers of the show are worried if her weight gain would effect the ratings of the show, so they have asked her to ‘do something about her weight’.

A producer was quoted saying, “Tyra still looks good, but she’s put on close to 50 pounds since starting her talk show…things are really getting out of control. I mean, she doesn’t have the greatest personality, so if she starts getting too heavy, it could be a real problem for the show.”

Not just this, Tyra’s weight has become such an issue with “Top Model” bosses that they have insisted that promotional pictures of the former model for the current season of the show be photoshopped, says a source. But this decision of the producers seems to clash with Bank’s recent declaration that she would not alter her photographs anymore.

Now whatever…Banks seems to be in deep shit. She will have to make a wise decision because an insider has revealed that “if Banks does not manage to get back to her old figure, she could be replaced for the next season.”

Former supermodel Tyra Banks has asked acclaimed poet and writer Dr Maya Angelou to help her out in finding a suitable lover, after admitting on the author’s radio show she wants romance in her life to spice it up.

During a recent appearance on Angelou’s Oprah + Friends satellite radio program, the former catwalk star told her host that she’s eager to add love to her dull and busy life.

“I know you know somebody that’s a nice, upstanding young gentleman that you can hook me up with,” a source quoted Banks, 32, who’s convinced Angelou would be the perfect person to help her find her companion, as saying.

In her reply, Angelou advised Banks to slow her life down a little and pen a poem about her perfect man.

Former model Tyra Banks has advised her porn-star look alike to leave the business and get a more respectable job.

A source reveals, the warning did not seem to have any effect because the porn actress Tyra Banxxx has just made a new hard-core video that parodies Banks’ show ‘America’s Next Top Porn Model’. In this video women compete by performing sex acts.

Banxxx says: ‘I love this business and I’m not going to leave it, and I’m not going to change my name.’

Perhaps Tyra Banks should try to become Banxxx as Banxxx tries to become Banks. So then Banxxx would no longer be able to bank on her surname Banxxx coz she might turn into Banks while being Banxxx, and Banks could really get rid of Banxxx as Banxxx learns a good lesson from Banks.

Alright…now thats giving me a headache. 8-I

The Tyra Banks show apart from the presence of the mult taleneted Tyra Banks will also be home to the very inspirational Paula White who is all out to play Life couch on the show .
