Tyra Banks is holding what’s being toted as the world’s first “Plus-Size Teen Model Search.” Teens between the ages of 13 and 19 are invited to “Smile With Their Eyes” as the daytime diva and host of America’s Next Top Model goes on the hunt for curvy wannabe catwalk mavens.
Tyra may be shutting up, but her employees sure aren’t: Just a few days after Tyra Banks announced her Emmy Award-winning daytime talk show would end its five year run at the end of the current season, same of the fashionistas employees are stepping forward to reveal that working the diva was nothing to smize about.
Tyra Banks is ending her Emmy-winning daytime talk show after five seasons.
Tyra will close the curtains on the show that taught young women how to smile with their eyes in the Spring of 2010. She says she’ll focus on the launch of Bankable Studios, a N.Y.-based film production company with the mission of bringing “positive images of women to the big screen.”
“This will be the last season of The Tyra Show,” the former supermodel announced on Monday. “I’ve been loving having fun, coming into your living rooms, bedrooms, hair salons for the past 5 years,” she continued.“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.”
Oprah may not be giving away any of her “Favorite Things” this holiday season — but Tyra sure is!
