Tyra Banks thinks way too highly of herself. From her self-serving America’s Next Top Model program, to her low class talk show, she pretty much thinks the world revolves around her. And when another judge started stepping on her territory at ANTM, she fired back, literally. While she blames budget cuts for the release of Paulina Porizkova, everyone knows that her ego was being hurt having someone more beautiful, intelligent and talented than she was on the panel.

“The current state of the economy has forced shows to make major budget cuts industry wide,” said Banks and Mok in a joint statement obtained by People. “America’s Next Top Model is not immune to these financially challenging times. We’ve had to make significant cuts in every area of the production and, unfortunately, Paulina was a casualty of these cuts.”

Riiiight. There are other places to make cuts… How about cutting back on some of the exotic shoots, or expensive outfits, or high-end living quarters? Or why not get rid of “Miss Jay” who is more of a joke than a judge? Paulina actually gave that show a hint of credibility, but I guess that was too much for Tyra.

I am so not a fan. Can you tell?
