After five seasons, two Daytime Emmy awards and too many girl-power episodes to count, Tyra Banks is announcing the end of The Tyra Show.
“This will be the last season of The Tyra Show,” Banks tells PEOPLE exclusively. “I’ve been loving having fun, coming into your living rooms, bedrooms, hair salons for the past 5 years.”
Wrapping at the end of its fifth season in the spring of 2010, it will be lights out for the show that brought viewers memorable weave-exposing, cellulite-revealing and tear-jerking moments.
Banks will focus on the launch of Bankable Studios, a N.Y.-based film production company currently reviewing possible projects. Sticking to her mission, Banks aims to bring “positive images of women to the big screen,” says an industry insider.
“My next huge steps will allow me to reach more women and young girls to help us all feel as fierce as we truly are,” Banks says.
Adds the insider: “Tyra is sad because she’ll be missing so much of the daily connection to her viewers, but excited at the same time to be taking on a new challenge.”

With encouragement from filmmaker Tyler Perry and longtime mentor Oprah Winfrey, Banks is “redefining beauty for women in film,” adds the source. “With Oprah’s big announcement this year, I think that gave Tyra the confidence to get out there and follow her longtime dream of film producing.”
But fashion fiends worry not. America’s Next Top Model is slated to return for its 15th season in February along with Banks’s ABC show True Beauty.
“There’s a lot cooking right now and a lot of fire burning in my heart,” Banks writes in an open letter on her Web site. “And I salute you my amazing family of viewers; without you there never would have been a Tyra Show. I really love you all.” –Amy Elisa Keith

                             50 Cent Moving To The ATL??

Two years ago while I was working at V-103 Greg Street did an interview with 50 where he talked about all the new things that he had coming up.In the interview 50 told Greg Street he was moving to the ATL. Now I’ve heard that he might already have bought a 2 million dollar condo and is looking at homes in Decatur. I really don’t know…. I was on my boy site Gyantunplugged.com and they say this story and knew I had to post it… LOL 


Mothers lock your kids up because I’ve just got some disturbing word.

A well placed source just just alerted me that 50 Cent is looking at real estate in Atlanta and plans to move here. Apparently their is no denying the “on and poppin” Atlanta music scene, and I hear ole Curtis Jackon wants to be apart of it.

But there’s just one problem. One Mr. Rick Ross.

Many may not know but Ross frequents ATL so much that my people tell me that he actually lives here.

Listen, no word yet on when Fiddy plans to make his move, but don’t say that you haven’t been warned.

 

 

                   Accused Tyra Banks Stalker Convicted

A man accused of stalking TV personality Tyra Banks was convicted on three counts Thursday, including trespass and harassment. Brady Green was arrested in March for allegedly showing up at the studio where the former supermodel tapes her self-titled daily talk show. Thirty-nine-year-old Green was also accused of threatening to kill Tyra’s assistant. Green is slated to be sentenced on June 18th. While he could face up to 90 days in jail, he did not get any. Judge James Burke said Green will more than likely get only psychiatric help. That is crazy cause just last week I faced the same issue and was told the same thing… I really think they need to rethink these laws, this man could come back and kill her… She said that this stalking incident has changed the way she uses security. “I love to walk by myself.  I dont want all that security.”

Upcoming “America’s Next Top Model” To Feature Short Models

Thursday February 26th 2009

Leave A Comment

Tyra Banks is opening new doors for shorter models on “America’s Next Top Model.” Cycle 12 is on its way in March, but Banks says Cycle 13 will only accept wannabe models five-feet-seven-inches and shorter. TVGuide.com quotes Banks who says Cycle 13 is all about catering to the shorter model. She adds, quote, “There have been top supermodels in the past that weren’t as tall as the industry demands, like fashion icon Kate Moss.” She adds that Cycle 13 is all about catering to the shorter model. This isn’t the first time Banks has raised eyebrows with the format of her show. In Cycle 11, she allowed the first ever transgendered contestant to enter the competition. Although the 22-year-old was eliminated from the competition, Banks later surprised her with a 35-thousand-dollar gender reassignment surgery. The two-hour premiere of “America’s Next Top Model’s” Cycle 12 kicks off Wednesday, March 4th on the CW.
