Wow.  I would have never ever guessed that!  According to Forbes , Tyra Banks is the highest paid female on prime time television!  The America’s Next Top Model judge AND creator raked in a lot of dough this past year.  Just how much you ask?  How about $30 million?! Yep. That is a ton on money for Miss Tyra.

Katherine Heigl came in 2nd place with just $18 million.  That’s a huge difference.  It looks like Tyra Banks has spanked her competition. Sharing you ‘real hair’ has it benefits I guess!

Do you think Tyra Banks is work $30 million a year? Sound off below…

Tyra Banks and Kate Moss have been waxed.  Yes, there amazing likenesses have been unveiled at Madame Tussauds in London today (Sept 15th).

I like the whole setup with the two of them together.  But, I have to say that Kate doesn’t look half as real as Tyra.  Seriously, I would start talking to Tyra’s figure if you didn’t tell me it was wax.  It’ looks exactly like her!   Kate’s….not so much.

What do you think?  Who looks more real to you?

Tyra Banks will be showing the world her REAL hair tomorrow (Sept 8th) as she has declared it, National Real Hair Day.  Tyra will come out with her natural, wet, unstyled hair on stage and then let everyone watch as it gets styled.

“This is fake hair,” Tyra explained to ET. “I’ve shown myself with no makeup, cellulite on my butt, untouched photos, but I haven’t shown my hair. It’s a mystery. People are, ‘Does she have any hair?’”

Tyra hopes to encourage many young women who constantly say they want to look like her. ”So, I want to show them what I really look like,” she says. “I think [my hair] looks like what they really look like. You know? My hair is not all down here and flowing. It’s just pretty normal.” She has worn weaves and wigs since she started modeling and her hair would always end up getting hacked off.

Yes folks, we will be seeing Tyra Banks in all of her ‘natural’ glory tomorrow on her show.  This is great hype to throw in the day before the premiere of America’s Next Top Model, isn’t it?  I am glad that she is showing us the real her.  I think it will help a lot of young ladies out their…..

I will add her ‘before’ pictures after the show tomorrow…..

She may be smokin’ hot, but Kim Kardashian knows nothing about the modeling industry. Oh well, that won’t stop Tyra Banks from exploiting her popularity by bringing her on America’s Next Top Model as a guest judge.

Here’s what Kim had to say about her time filming the show:

Recently I was a guest judge on America’s Next Top Model for an episode that will air next season! Wow, this cycle is pretty amazing! It’s definitely my favorite so far! Can’t give away any details but you guys have to tune in for sure! It was such an honor to be a guest judge! I have watched this show for years and am such a huge Tyra Banks fan! She is such a smart business woman and such a role model! Love ya Tyra!

I guess this is her favorite season because it’s for short girls of all shapes and sizes. Kind of gives normal American women hope… but then it smashes it when we realize you can’t make it in the modeling world if you’re short and curvy. Sorry.

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?

She may have a ridiculously cheesy talk show and be the creative force behind the completely illegitimate America’s Next Top Model, but washed up former model Tyra Banks still has a crazy stalker in Brady Green. Yesterday she testified against him in court after an incident that left her fearing for her safety. Here’s what the fashionista had to say:

The staff wouldn’t allow Banks to exit her dressing room. “‘Stop! No! You can’t leave,’” she claimed they said. “I know I have fans, but I’ve never in my entire career had my staff act in this way.”

Prosecutors say Brady Green even threatened to slash a Tyra Banks employee’s throat when the person refused to give up the studio address. “I don’t fear for my life - I fear the safety of my staff,” Banks explained. “I fear the safety of my family. I fear the safety of people in my vicinity.”

She admitted that since Green’s phone calls, love notes and appearance, she has heightened her security, even when she goes for a run.

The maximum time Green can serve is 90 days. Not much of a punishment or a deterrent, but I do hope he pays for his crime. Crazy people scare me… But at least he’s not as weird as Shawn Johnson’s lunatic stalker!

Totally fierce Tyra Banks received the Excellence In Media award at the GLAAD Media Awards on Saturday night.

GLAAD is, of course, the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.  The award was presented to her by the totally not so fierce Clay Aiken.  The Excellence in Media award is

presented to individuals who, through their work, have increased the visibility and understanding of the LGBT community in the media.

Also honored Saturday night were Keith Olberman and Suze Orman.

Tyra is such a tranny, it makes total sense to me that she got an award from GLAAD!  Just kidding!  Well, I do think she looks like a tranny, but brava to her for doing good for the gay community.

Though she’s looking more like a tranny and less like a model these days, Tyra Banks is still producing new seasons of America’s Next Top Model. And after the New York audition chaos, new casting call rules have been announced.

Auditioners will only be allowed to begin lining up at the Dallas site at 6AM, and instead of remaining in line all day until their audition turn arrives, the casting call organizers will hand out color-coded wristbands beginning at 7AM.  After receiving their wristband, the auditioners will be encouraged to leave the casting call site, with the color of the wristband they receive indicating the specific time that they should return for their audition opportunity.  The wristband procedure will also be utilized at the show’s other remaining casting calls in Chicago and Los Angeles.

In addition, the network also plans to restrict who will be allowed to wait in line during the casting calls. Only women applying for the show will be permitted to wait in line unless the auditioner is under 18 years of age, in which case a single guardian will be allowed to stand with her.

These rules would have probably been good to implement in the first place, but at least they finally got wise. Just sucks for those injured during that model stampede!

Tyra Banks is speaking out about the mass chaos that erupted at the New York auditions for the next cycle of America’s Next Top Model…

“To all the `Top Model’ hopefuls who were affected by the New York casting, we are doing everything we can to make sure that ALL the girls who weren’t seen, get an opportunity to audition — we’ll update you on our plans very soon,” Banks said in a statement issued Monday by the CW network.

I don’t know about you, but I kind of expected an apology? Great, they are rescheduling the madness… What about the people who were injured and hospitalized? Geesh, Mrs. Domestic Violence spokesperson!

Isis King became the first-ever contestant on America’s Next Top Model to have been born male. During her time in the competition, she still had all male “parts” and had trouble with swimsuit and tight clothing shoots. Host and executive producer Tyra Banks (who’s looking a little tranny herself these days) surprised Isis with the news that she’s arranged�free�sex reassignment surgery for “her”.

“This is not happening!” King when Banks surprised her with the news, according to Us. “[I feel] like I’m about to wake up.”

The 22-year-old program assistant from Prince George’s County, MD — who was born Darrell Walls — had yet to have the surgery because she was unable to afford the $20,000 to $35,000 price tag.

The surgery will be performed and paid for by Dr. Marci Bowers, a gender reassignment surgeon who has experienced the surgery herself, Us reported.

Catch all this and more on today’s episode of The Tyra Banks Show.

Two down in two weeks! The “European” duo on America’s Next Top Model had it’s first casualty last week when Athiest and arrogant Elina was sent packing. Her even more annoying and awkward friend Marjorie was finally dumped last night. The chick took some good pictures, but her personality, nerves and boring demeanor is what sent her packing. But that wasn’t until she got drunk, hooked up with her boat driver in the bathtub, and complained about her Dutch shoes all the way through her photo shoot. She’s a winner.

ABC has announced that True Beauty, America’s Next Top Model producer Tyra Banks and Beauty and the Geek producer Ashton Kutcher’s new twist on beauty pageant competitions, will premiere on Monday, January 5 at 10PM ET/PT.

True Beauty will feature six women and four men living together in a Los Angeles mansion under the impression that they are competing in a beauty pageant-like reality competition series in which they�will be�judged solely on their physical beauty.

However, unbeknownst to them, the contestants will also be getting judged on their “inner beauty” and will be put through scenarios that will make them reveal different aspects of their inner character.

True Beauty will be�hosted by former TRL host Vanessa Minnillo, who will also serve as a judge along with former model Cheryl Tiegs and former Top Model judge Nole Marin. Each episode will feature the judges monitoring the contestants, critiquing their behaviors, and ultimately eliminating one contestant. The contestants will�only�be told the truth about the competition as they watch a montage of their show behavior after their eliminations.

The contestant who shows that they are the most beautiful contestant — on both the inside and out — will be crowned the winner and receive an undisclosed�cash prize as well as a spot in People magazine’s 2009 “100 Most Beautiful People” issue.

The show will premiere right after the two hour season premiere of The Bachelor with Jason Mesnick.

After weeks of being told she looked cheap, trashy, and hoochie, Sheena finally got the ax on America’s Next Top Model. Athiest, aggressive, prostitution-loving Elina was in the bottom yet again, but somehow managed to claw her way out. Analeigh, Marjorie and Elina continued their weird activities, bathing together and talking about how much better Europe is. Maybe they should all just move there.

After being booted from America’s Next Top Model, Isis King had some things she wanted to say. Here are some of them:

“I have a lot of personality people!” the 22-year-old from Prince George’s County, MD proclaimed to reporters during a Thursday media conference call that followed her elimination on Wednesday night’s broadcast. “I have a really big personality,” Isis told reporters. “I am a really humble person… but I’m goofy. I like to have fun. That part of me [the show wasn't] really showing. It showed more of my struggle, which I do have also.”

“I think [it] started to drain me so much to be constantly on the cameras 24-hours-a-day and not have any time for privacy at all to get myself back together to talk to somebody,” she told reporters. “On the show I didn’t really have a problem with anybody. I see the comments that some individuals make but on the show I pretty much got along with everybody,” she added later.

Isis said she had never wanted to enter the show labeled as a “transgendered model” and had wanted to be judged “on the same level as anybody else.”

Since being announced as a contestant on the show, Isis said that she had received an outpouring of positive feedback from the gay, lesbian, and transgendered community, and even told reporters that she had been asked to be honored by a Maryland civil rights group. “I thought that was very wonderful. Like, why would you want to present me with an award?” she told reporters sheepishly.

“I learned first, for me [to actually say] ‘you know I’m gonna go for it, and no matter what people think about me and see my flaws I’m gonna give it my all because I never know what could come from [that] opportunity,” she told reporters.

She added that she had still to complete her gender reassignment, but hoped to finance it in the next year through modeling and fashion design jobs she hoped to get as a result of her participation from the show. “I’m a model and fashion designer, that’s my biggest passion, I’m an artist first,” she told reporters. “Hopefully I can be on runways and get campaigns.”

“It goes to show you that no matter what people say or think about you, or no matter where you come from, you can achieve whatever you want,” she told reporters later. “It’s cliche, but it’s true because I’m not where I wanna be yet. But even me getting this far, and from where I’ve started I’ve struggled a lot and will still continue to struggle, but I know that I’m moving in a positive light, so I’m happy.”

Good luck with all that, sister!

Move over, Janice Dickinson! The real model show is invading your territory! Tyra Banks‘ show America’s Next Top Model has been bought by Oxygen Media (home of The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency).

Oxygen has acquired the exclusive cable rights to the reality competition series �America�s Next Top Model.� The announcement was made last week by Jason Klarman, General Manager, Oxygen Media.

The network will bring viewers all the �Top Model� fashion challenges, photo shoots and model mayhem as the full library of the hit series joins Oxygen in January, 2009.

In an agreement with CBS Television Distribution, Oxygen will retain exclusive cable rights to all episodes including the 11th cycle currently airing on the CW, the show�s 12th cycle now in production and repeat airings of any future cycles beyond.

Created and hosted by world-renowned supermodel Tyra Banks, �America�s Next Top Model� premiered in 2003 and became a phenomenal television success, especially among young women, �Generation O,� Oxygen�s target audience.

The �Top Model� genre of programming and the show�s personalities have already proven successful on Oxygen, with �The Tyra Banks Show� airing daily on the network and former �Top Model� judge Janice Dickinson�s series �The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency� now in its fourth season.

�The acquisition of this franchise will be a great fit for Oxygen�s slate of original programming and introduce the show to an untapped demographically desirable cable audience,� said Scott Koondel, Executive Vice President of Off-Network, Cable and Interactive Media for CBS Television Distribution.

I wonder if Janice and Tyra will ever reunite for an all-too-trashy joint episode?
