Oh, my. No, your eyes do not deceive you: That is Tyra Banks feeling up Rosie O’Donnell on The View. Please disregard my stunned silence as I collect my thoughts.

Right, so, first things first, this of course isn’t the first time Tyra Banks has given another woman’s breasts the “real or Memorex” test. Remember when she caught the McPheever? Then, Tyra gave Katharine McPhee a few polite squeezes. But when Rosie confessed yesterday on The View that her cleavage was also au naturel, Tyra went in for some serious groping. Like, “keep kneading that bread, the kids want sandwiches” sort of kneading. Even Rosie, who you would think wouldn’t necessarily be opposed to a former supermodel showing interest in her bosom, seems put off by the extended touch-me-feel-me session. Seriously, girlfriend, ease up — that’s no way to squeeze the Charmin. Since Tyra thinks of herself as the new Oprah, perhaps we should start calling her the new Groprah instead.

‘America’s Next Top Model’ presenter Tyra Banks has paid a restaurant bill after “dine and dash” reports accused her of not paying for her lunch.According to Hollywood.com, Banks was dining with music mogul Russell Simmons and his two daughters in Brooklyn Diner when the mix-up happened.

Banks left the restaurant without paying because she thought that Simmons had already settled the bill but the next day a report in the Daily News caused her embarrassment.

The model later paid the $100 bill and reportedly offered her waiter a $100 tip.

Banks and a correspondent for her show Danielle Fishel also inspired hundreds of women to join in a “Belly Brigade” march through the streets of Los Angeles. They donned red tube tops with their bellies showing.

“My doctor had told me that the stretch marks that I had gotten were probably the worst case that she has ever seen,” Fishel said. “And no I don’t feel comfortable in a two-piece bathing suit. But you know what, so what.”

Banks showed a life-size cardboard cutout of a runway model on her show. The emaciated model’s stats said she was 5 feet, 11 inches and a size 2. She was estimated to weigh 90 pounds.

Though she was a top model, Banks was always heavier than many other models.

“At one point in my career I was 128, which is 32 pounds less than I weigh now,” she said, “and my modeling agencies and designers still told me that I needed to lose weight.”

She said today that her weight fluctuated between 150 and 161, and that she’d work to lose weight for certain occasions and appearances.

Looks like Tyra has finally rolled up her sleeves against all those who accuse her of packing pounds and looking terribly bulky.

So what is Tyra doing about it… well… two months ago her audience members all wore red bathing suits with their respective body weights labeled on them… trying to make a statement that they are comfortable with their bodies no matter what.

When Tabloids recently showed an unflattering photo of her in a swimsuit and questioned her weight gain Banks launched her “So what” campaign in response to encourage other women to resist succumbing to negative views of their bodies.

Now Tyra’s has sixth-grade student from Leawood Middle School, who is hoping to spread a message to kids across the nation.

She says, “I think that a lot of kids my age are always pressured by the media to be skinny, to look a certain way.”

Whatever that is supposed to be but it surely saves Tyra’s fat ass from receiving anymore flak for being overweight heheheh

Once upon a time, looking at Tyra Bank’s silhouette figure, women went green in envy and men went red with lust… sadly things arent the same anymore… neither were they years ago when Tyra was a teenager.

She confesses, “I was too thin. People would look at me like I was ill, because I was stick thin and alienesque. It was just my natural weight but I was unhappy, trying to gain weight. I would come home from school and my brother would make me peanut butter and chocolate shakes. We didn’t know about protein, we were just trying to put as much fat in me as possible.”

She added: “When a girl came up to me on my first day of high school and said I should be a model I found it a little odd because I’d never thought of myself as beautiful.

“I’ve never thought men thought I was beautiful because when you’re thin and look like an alien and someone’s saying you should be a model, that’s not men saying you’re attractive, that’s just doing high-fashion modelling!”

God bless that girl who made Tyra realize that she WAS beautiful

Terrence Howard has confessed his longtime crush on retired model Tyra Banks on national TV.

He said, “I still have a crush on you, everybody has a crush on Tyra.” And, as a disbelieving Banks tried to hide her blushes, Howard added, “You remember when I saw you a year ago… I said, `I really wanna get your number,’ and you were like, `As long as you’re not trying to date me.’

“I wasn’t; I just wanted to know you because you are really the top of everything for me… Every man would want a woman that has your qualities - the beauty, the tenacity, the endurance, the strength and the kindness. It’s beautiful.”

Red-faced Banks remembered the party encounter, admitting she was astonished when Howard kept reminding her of the number she gave him.

She recalled, “I said it really really really fast and two hours later he comes over, and I’m not gonna say the real number, but he was like, `329-55520.’”

Howard revealed, “It’s still in my phone.”

See there she goes… she has all the talented men falling for her and she says she is too successful for men…what crap!

Tyra Banks’ now has a new justification for her ‘unlucky in love’ status.

She says she would have loved getting  married and starting a family but fears that her fame scares men off.
Ehem Ehem… hello ma’am… there are a lot of ’successful’ women in the industry and most of them are happily married… so get your fat ass to work and drop some pounds for guys to be interested in you…OkThigh-ra?
