Do you love it or do you hate it?

Tyra walked the red carpet in a figure-hugging purple strapless mermaid-style gown, which featured a pleated bodice and ruching along the torso.

The former supermodel, who seems to have a love for large, show-stopping earrings, accessorized with a pair of  large violet and silver dangle earrings.

A sleek bun, smokey eye makeup, and bright red lips completed Tyra‘s look.

We love how bright Tyra’s dress is—it’s quite refreshing after seeing all the other celebrities dressed in neutral colors. Unfortunately, for some reason, it looks a bit cheap. And to be perfectly honest, we’re not loving her hair and makeup. Tyra’s hair makes her look like she got a botched brow lift or a face lift, and her makeup isn’t working for her either.

Well, no, she isn’t. But it sure looks like one, doesn’t it?

Tyra arrived at the Metropolitan Opera Season’s opening night for “Anna Bolena” in a light pink ruffled strapless gown with a tiered, floor-length skirt and satin piping along the sides.

The “Top Model” star accessorized her dress with a pair of black, shoulder-length tassel earrings, a metallic gold clutch, and a large black and white cocktail ring.

After a parade of leather and neon colored outfits, it’s nice to see Tyra in something classy. The thing is, the design and cut of her dress kind of makes her look like a bride (if only her dress were a few shades lighter and if she had a bouquet and a veil), especially alongside her boyfriend John Utendahl, who was also looking very groom-like in a sleek black tux.

But seriously, the dress is beautiful. We just wish Tyra had gone with different earrings—and she should have ditched the messy wet hair.

What do you think of Tyra’s outfit?

Tyra sported an 80’s inspired one-shoulder, tri-color jumpsuit and nude strappy sandals as she walked the red carpet (which was actually blue) at the 2011 VH1 Do Something Awards, which was held at the Hollywood Palladium. The supermodel-turned-talk show host accentuated her outfit with hot pink fingernails, a bright pink bangle, and gorgeous pinkish-lilac lips.

Although this look is a bit better compared to the inappropriate catwoman-inspired costume Tyra donned at the Teen Choice Awards (which earned her some not-so-flattering reviews on celebrity gossip websites), we’re still not sure we’re feeling it. For one thing, the pants are a little too wrinkly at the crotch and lower leg area, which makes it look like it doesn’t really fit her. Second, the shoulder strap of her jumpsuit has this wannabe sleeve attached to it, which just makes it look weird.

Seriously, the jumpsuit somehow reminds us of an 80’s exercise video. Like, if Tyra was wearing leg warmers and wristbands, she could pass as an extra in one of Jane Fonda’s old videos.

But hey, that’s just our opinion. Her outfit may not be très chic, but Tyra is still undoubtedly gorgeous.

Tyra sported a black leather (or was it pleather?) jumpsuit on the “blue” carpet at the Teen Choice Awards, and she completed the look with an enormous silver cuff, a bronze clutch, and black strappy sandals. The whole look screams dominatrix, but it kind of has a sweet spin on it, thanks to the sweetheart neckline with the gold lining.

Though Tyra looks cute—as always—she kind of looks like she’s going to a Halloween party! Not exactly the right choice of attire for the Teen Choice Awards, don’t you think? She should have worn a nice dress or something, preferably one made of some kind of gauzy material.

Before heading out to the awards show, Tyra tweeted:

“Rockin’ black leather and gold! Kinda like a fierce bumble bee!!!”

Bumblebee? Not really… It really looks like a skintight catsuit! Celebrity gossip websites everywhere are slamming the former supermodel‘s “inappropriate” getup, and we have to admit—we kind of agree!

Banks enrolled in Loyola Marymount University after graduating high school, but made the tough decision to drop out when she was “discovered” at 17, which she says was one of the “most difficult decisions of her life.”

“It’s pretty exclusive,” she told CBS News. ”In order for my company to grow and be the best, and to reach these women, and to serve them, I needed the best. So I went to the best…it’s like why is a model going to Harvard? But that’s actually a good thing, because when people have low expectations, you’re just constantly going, ‘Ta-da!’ And they’re like ‘Wow.’ It doesn’t take a lot to wow them.”

Good luck, Tyra! I guess this means our favorite Fierce Eyes isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

According to public records obtained by Reuters, Beverly McClendon, a licensed social worker said her daughter answered an open call placed on Banks’ website last October. The show’s producers contacted the girl and invited her to appear as a guest.

A month later, the teen allegedly flew unaccompanied to New York, where she was put up in a hotel in advance of her paid appearance on “Tyra,” which ceased production in May. McClendon said she had no idea about her daughter’s television debut until it was too late.

McClendon seeks $3 million in damages, McClendon’s complaint asserts the teen’s right to privacy was violated. She seeks an injunction against any future airings of the program, which still appears in repeats on the CW network. She believes that “This show was undoubtedly watched by sexual deviants, perverts and pedophiles alike.”

Tyra told fans on her website:

“It’s for all the girls and guys who want a lot more FANTASY in their lives … and some fierceness and magic, romance and mystery, crazy and wild adventures, and yeah, some danger too. It’s my novel called ‘Modelland’ (pronounced “Model Land”) that takes you to a fantastical place you’ve never seen, or heard about, or read about before … Where dreams come true and life can change in the blink of a smoky eye.”

The lead heroines are aptly called “Intoxibellas” and all live together in an academy while they learn to master their superpowers.

Will you read Tyra‘s “Modelland”?

The news that The Tyra Show is ending is particularly surprising due to the show’s overwhelming success. The talk show enjoyed five season, two of which Tyra won a Daytime Emmy for her work. America’s Next Top Model will continue to air — this time in its 14th season. 14 seasons!

Tyra wrote on her site (via People.com):

“There’s a lot cooking right now and a lot of fire burning in my heart. And I salute you my amazing family of viewers; without you there never would have been a Tyra Show. I really love you all.”

Apparently, Williams was born with two vaginas and everything that comes along with the lady flower. So, yes, this means two uteruses, two periods and the ability to be pregnant with two babies conceived months apart at once. Sounds fun! (via celebitchy.com)

“…my periods generally last about 21 days…When I was a teenager I had really heavy periods…I would have to change pads every hour.” Tyra also questions Williams on her ability to have children and was amazed by her answer.Lauren Williams: “The doctor in England said pregnancy wise, it should be okay…if I do get pregnant it should push the other uterus over to one side and keep it out of the way. Me and my partner would need to plan on using condoms just in case I got pregnant in the other one.”

Tyra Banks : “You’re the only pregnant woman that can get pregnant while pregnant.”

The show airs tomorrow. You may want to tune to see if there’s show and tell and little mini-Professor Tyra Banks anatomy lesson.

Tyra said: “I feel more comfortable when I’m lighter – I sleep better, I snore less, I have more endurance when I work out, my arms look better.

Banks, the America’s Next Top Model’s host and ex-Victoria’s Secret model, who was criticized when she was photographed looking heavier than usual in an unflattering swimsuit in 2007 insists her weight has never affected how she feels about her body.

Tyra revealed her weight has fluctuated from 148lb to 162lb since she quit modelling.

“When I told the world to kiss my fat a*s, I remained that size for two years. I maintained it with my ice cream and my salad with ranch and dressing and croutons and bacon bits.” But, I’ve made millions of dollars with the body I have, so where’s the pain in that?If I was in pain, I would have dieted. The pain is not there – the pain is someone printing a picture of me and saying those horrible things. - via Female First

Feel good about yourself, that’s most important. Right on Tyra, you look amazing, you always have!

Back in early February 2007, tabloids had some photos of Tyra in a bathing suit that were not so complimenting – wrong angle perhaps. And boy didn’t all hell broke loose and critics were calling her fat; we had headlines “Tyra porkchop…” . So Tyra had this to say to her critics: “Kiss my fat a##”

Bravo girl! Yes, her weight has fluctuated up and down after quitting modelling. Big deal! She’s never for a moment looked bad, Tyra is a class.

Tyra rocks! You look amazing!

More pictures of Kim and Lauren after the line…

Tyra hosts the show where someone is chosen to enter the modeling world with a big contract. Lauren has her fingers in fashion – or so we’re told. Kim does a lot of modeling. Perfect matches. From MTV:

Just when you thought Lauren Conrad was done with reality TV — and on hiatus from her fashion career, for that matter — she’s making her way back to both arenas as a guest judge on “America’s Next Top Model.”

In addition to Conrad, Kim Kardashian — star of her own reality show, “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” — will also be making a cameo for the 13th cycle of the show, E! Online reports. Both LC and Kardashian are signed on for one episode each.

They might actually have some good input for the aspiring models. Kim and Lauren seem to have their heads screwed on the best of anyone in the reality world. Good luck with the show!

It seems like celebrity stalkers such ar Tyra’s are getting more popular – meaning getting more in number – than there ever was. According to Popeater:

Brady Green, 39, won’t spend any time in jail for his crime – the Dublin, GA native has been sentenced to a year’s probation and ordered to complete a treatment program for stalkers.
Green has been ordered by Manhattan Criminal Court Judge James Burke to stay away from the TV host and former supermodel for the next two years under an order of protection. The judge warned Green that he would face up to 90 days in jail if he fails to comply with the court’s orders.

At least he got probation and a warning that if he goes near Tyra again, it’s time in the slammer. Do you think he was stalking her or was it blown out of proportion?

In response, according to the AP, Green told the judge he was attempting to get tickets to the show, and his enthusiasm was misconstrued.

His sentencing will take place on June 18th, and he could spend 90 days in jail. This was Tyra‘s first experience with a stalker. She told the courtroom that she “didn’t know what to do” as she had “never experienced anything like this before.”

Controversy over Kardashian’s photo shoot also started when Complex published an un-airbrushed photo of Kim on their website. Uh oh. Then hours later replaced it with the photoshopped one.

“A size 2 is not fat! Nor will it ever be. And being a size 0 doesn’t make you beautiful.” – Jennifer Love Hewitt

Photographs of Hewitt’s cellulite-riddled body were published while she was with then ex- fiance, Scott McCall in Hawaii in December 2007 celebrating their engagement.

Tyra and producers were inside of Park Central New York Hotel and thousands of model wannabe’s waited outside.   You know how a crowd gets while they wait…tired, cranky, hungry, irritable and well, bored of waiting with other people who might get their spot in the limelight.  A car overheated nearby and some people yelled fire.  People farther up in line yelled bomb and then someone else yelled he’s got a gun.  All the makings for a disaster when thousands of people are around.  From Yahoo! News:

“It was pretty scary,” Jessica Paravati told WNYW-TV. She said she was caught up in a stampede after waiting on line overnight, hoping for a shot at stardom on the reality show.

Two women and a man were arrested on disorderly conduct charges, police said. Authorities also shut down the audition, saying it wasn’t properly organized.

Four injured people declined treatment, while two others were taken to a hospital, the fire department said. Their conditions weren’t immediately available.

Tyra has expressed worry over the violence surrounding her auditions.  Hmmm.  I wonder what will happen next….hopefully, more security and orderly auditions!

According to UsWeekly the challenge that week will be “acting” (whatever the hell that means on “America’s Next Top Model”). Singer Ciara will also appear on that episode. The 12th season of ANTM starts on February 25th. Honestly, can’t believe there have been 12 season—are any of the models even successful now? Is anyone getting career success of that show other than Ty Ty?

Banks is filming a commercial for her “Tyra Banks Show”, doesn’t she look pretty hot? The former model might be rich, smart, gorgeous and a great TV host but definitely too far from being fat, agree?
