Check out Hillary Clinton on Tyra.

Tyra Banks takes … er … a fashion risk at the BET Awards.

It looks like a peacock ate her.

Trying to cover up our middle much, Tyra?

“I’d go to work and women would be crying in my arms on the talk show. But then I’d go home and put my key in my door and … nothing: no friends, no husband, no children. I feel so full when I’m at work but so empty when I come home.”

Tyra Banks, in the new issue of Essence.

This showed up in my inbox this morning from a well-known PR agency:

Following find Tyra Banks’ statement today regarding recent reports of her speaking about Britney Spears in a negative manner:

“Britney is a friend and we correspond with each other. These alleged statements are completely false.”

What the hell did Tyra supposedly say about Britney? How did I miss this?

And they correspond??? What the hell do Tyra and Britney have to say to each other? “Just a little note 2 say that u r not fat. xoxoxooxoxo.”

OMG.

Too funny.

What?

You tell me she doesn’t look like a damn birthday present.

Nah, I kind of dig this dress, and I think she looks gorgeous in it, and I kind of hate myself for that. I want to be meaner about it, because, come on, that’s a huge fucking bow, but I have to admit that, sometimes, even my evil little heart warms a little for Tyra.

At the CNN Heroes Tribute in NYC.

Check out Kim Kardashian’s interview with Tyra today, where she talks about her sex tape.

Part II is inside.

She’s got a talk show. She’s got ANTM. She’s got modeling gigs. And now it looks like Warner Bros wants to expand their relationship with Tyra, signing her to executive produce a series of direct-to-DVD films based on the popular young adult Clique novels.

“I’ve been a mean girl and I’ve been teased, so I identify with both sides of it,” Banks told Daily Variety. “This is very much my brand, especially as teenage girls are dedicated to watching both my shows.”

Variety also says:

The “America’s Next Top Model” producer-host has also carved out a series development deal with the CW, which is half-owned by Warners. Agreement covers both scripted and nonscripted projects.

Hyphenate is set to continue on “Top Model” and as host of her syndie gabber, which is produced via Warner’s Telepictures unit. “Top Model” has just begun lensing in Gotham on its 10th cycle.

I’m gonna translate from Variety-ese to English:

Tyra is also on the hook to develop one or more television series to air on the CW. These may be reality TV shows, or they may be standard sitcoms. Let’s all just pray they’re not dramas. Tyra continues to host ANTM and her talk show. ANTM has just begun filming its 10th cycle in NYC.

So basically:

Tyra Power!
