Tyra Banks considers leaving ‘America’s Next Top Model’

Tyra Banks is leaving America’s Next Top Model for her own talk show

Ok! magazine is reporting that Tyra has had enough of her reality show ‘America’s Next Top Model’ and just wants to focus on her talk show for now.  Apparently, most our speculating that it’s related to the fact that she is not getting along with Jay Manuel.

A source said, “It’s gotten so bad that Tyra and Jay aren’t speaking. Tyra barely interacts with the contestants and only wants to show up on judging day.”

Tyra Banks, who is not commenting on the rumors, might be looking for a new supermodel to helm ANTM. “She’s really throwing all her weight behind her talk show,” according to a source familiar with “The Tyra Banks Show.” “She’s putting lots of pressure on her staff to keep her show on the map. She had Barack Obama on, she had Hilary Clinton on — she got a taste of playing with the big boys and now ‘Top Model’ seems to detract from her big plans.”

Well if Tyra is looking for another supermodel to fill her spot on ANTM, I think it should be none other than the fabulously bitchy Naomi Campbell.

Tyra Bank’s “America’s Next Top Model” destroyed their $6 million loft

Posted on 12 March 2008 by Syndeee

ANTM

All 14 of the wannabe models from America’s Next Top Model recently moved out of the TriBeCa loft the show had leased for their 10 week shoot, but they left it in complete destruction. Apparently, according to the loft’s owner, the models and the crew have caused about $500,000 in damages to the $6 million loft.

Tyra Banks and Anise Productions, which produces ANTM, have so far declined to comment; but it has been reported that Anise Productions is offering the owner of the loft, Michael Marvisi, a $125,000 settlement….

Hmmmm….somehow that doesn’t seem fair to me–you come in, assure me that my house would see minimal impact from the shooting, completely destroy it, make millions off the show that caused all the destruction & then don’t pay up to fix what you broke–ya, not so fair.

Tyra Banks

It’s being reported that the crew punched hundreds of holes in the ceiling to hang lighting equipment, ruined the expensive Brazillian wood flooring, had food fights that left ketchup and coffee splattered all over the $20,000 white drapes, left lipstick stains on the walls, moved in furniture, made holes along the walls, damaged a $15,000 chandelier, and ruined a bathroom with water damage.

Contestant drinks her own breast milk–ewwww!

Posted on 26 February 2008 by Syndeee

Claire-Aimee Unabia (”Claire”) , a contestant on America’s Next Top Model–Tyra Bank’s popular hit show on CBS–revealed to the world that she has been drinking her own breast milk.

Tyra Banks

This is how it went down: she told Tyra that she wants her breast milk to keep flowing so that she can continue to breastfeed her daughter when the show is over and she is back at home. Sounds normal…..So, naturally, Tyra asked her if she’s been shipping the breast milk home to her baby…her answer:

“Right now I’m actually drinking it. It tastes kind of like light soy milk.”

Claire ANTM

Gross! So disgusting!

Claire went online and answered questions about this from viewers, saying:

“I drank my breast milk only during audition week because I did not want to waste it after putting all my effort into making and extracting it. Dumping milk just seems wrong. A mother’s milk is like liquid gold, so I also wanted the nutritional value back and to keep my immunity up.”

She went on to say that she was drinking two to three glasses of her own breast milk each day.

Hmmm….good thing she’s doing whats best for her baby–what a thoughtful mom–rather than shipping the milk back to the vulnerable, growing babe that needs the “liquid gold,” she keeps it for herself to keep her immunity up–she should’ve said, “Who gives a crap about my baby’s immunity; I needed to think about my future, not hers!” How endearing…

Anyhow, Dr. Myron Peterson, a pediatrician from Cato Research in Boston said, “I’ve never heard of anything like it. Theres no danger to it, but it’s just kind of strange.”

Kinda strange? Ya, to say the least.
