tyra

From People.com:

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.

    She need to quit with this BS. Helping women and young girls feel fierce..She’s annoying getting on that talk show telling everyone to be happy with who they are and then step on America’s next top model and allow a panel of predominately GAY/LESBIAN judges to tell some of those young girls that their 34 inch hips are too big, their eyes are too wide, their arms are too ‘thick’ OR they have the teeniest tiniest stretch mark! I dont even allow my daughters to watch either one of her shows because she sends a tedious MIXED message…

    Now I sit back and wait for all the Tyra lovers to attack!

    Her show is lame….bout time she called it quits!

    I HEAR you@CaliFemme! Tyra has run out of STUPID, self defeating, self defecating things/topics to talk about! It was a STUPID show and I’m sure people got tired of seeing YOUNG, STUCK ON STUPID panelist who hadn’t a CLUE about either themselves or our HISTORY get on national t.v and make complete FOOLS out of themselves! She finally realized that O is not and has NEVER been a ONE-TRICK-PONY and should not be messed with or competed against! Models should stick to just looking pretty and walking down catwalks and let the REAL journalists do what they do best…interview INTERESTING people on REAL talk shows! Why do all these actresses and models THINK that doing Oprah is easy??? LOL!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/blksxylady46/ blksxylady46

    P.S–I think the powers at be told her the SHOW WAS OVER but allowed her to publicly announce it–as IF it was HER idea! LOL! Now, let’s sit back and SEE just how many MOVIES her *company* is gonna make and how many *projects* she has to complete! Yeah, right…she ain’t got nothing else going on…

    well good for her I don’t watch women shows anyway

    I feel like Tyra’s show did have many good episodes. I personally don’t care to see Wendy Williams’s ugly mug on TV. Wendy talks bad about people and doesn’t even care. Tyra’s show is coo’ with me and I guess she wanted to do something else.

    I personally did not care for her show, especially when she had the episode about the people not liking the color of their skin and the show where the little kids did not like their hair. Another pointless show is Wendy Williams, “How you doing?” wtf???? My mom thinks she a man, lmao

    I wasn’t a fan but I always like to see my people do positive things. Good luck in the future.

    i agree the was very positive, but i never took it that seriously… looks like she on to bigger things anyway.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Lamonte_H/ Lamonte_H

    I’m happy for her and hope things work out. ( maybe now, Star Jones can make a come-back, lol )We will be lookin forward 2 Tyra’s “next project” because a brown-sugar-diva, like her, can’t do wrong….O.k. I’m joking around; Let’s hope Tyra finds what she’s REALLY wants in 2k10: a man in her life, LOL. What do you think us men on Blackplanet are here for? Tyra, we just a email away, so quit playin!

    I guess she didn’t get more control to the syndication rights to her show, like Oprah did back when her show started. Its ironic that she would quit the same year Oprah vacated her spot, you would think that would mean a bigger slice of audience or maybe she can move into more mature subject matter.

    sum of u females on here is a bunch of haters who need 2 go back 2 ur 9 to 5 jobs or jus get off ur ass n make as much money as tyra cuz u r not doing s**t w/ ur life. tyra keep it going we need more women like u cuz most females like these haters on here don’t have s**t 2 do but put other women down n that’s y they r not women. just GIRLS!

    funny this is happening

    A few weeks after Tyra was encouraging black girls to wear their natural hair

    and that she was talking about doing it, and in fact HAD done it

    i remember thinking,

    uh-oh, baby girl, they’re not going to let you get away with that

    just like there’s a reason there are NO NATURAL HAIR CARE PRODUCTS FOR BW’S HAIR BEING ADVERTISED ON TV

    I mean, once you wake up, and stop imitating ME

    my power over you (and your self-image and self-esteem)

    is damn near gone

    of course, maybe it was just a coincidence…

    Tyra has 4 letters in her name and somehow someone managed to mis-spell it. Trya?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/wreepeet2/ wreepeet2

    I agree with the most of you about her show she had some good shows , i didn’t really watch her except some shows that was really interesting but for the most part i think her shows was all garbage. its about time she got off the air.I mean seems like all she ever talked about was how you look, her ass or some other parts of the body.Shaking and wiggleing around on the stage.with only a few fake subjects she covered.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Bria450/ Bria450

    I would rather watch Tyras show then Wendy Williams

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/lovely_chick23/ lovely_chick23

    All good things must come to an end.. I will miss Tyra’s social experiments, but she’s moving on to bigger and better things..

    Whatever Tyra does next, it will be great!

    @CaliFemme23 and @blksxyldy46…are y’all fuccing kidding me? i’m not a “Tyra lover” and i didn’t care too much for her show, but damn…this is hating at it’s best. so a model can’t aspire to do anything else but model? FYI, on ANTM Tyra actually emphasized how peculiar facial features could work to your advantage in the modeling industry (e.g. her forehead). she also was the one who advocated for the full-figure models, defending them whenever Janice Dickinson would try to bring them down. oh, and dare i forget Tyra created a show for the short girls too (which i didn’t agree with but whatev). so idk what show you were watching, but i was watching Tyra help young women achieve their dreams of becoming high-fashion models, no matter what their physical “flaws” were.

    tip: focus on getting your own life together instead of worrying about Tyra’s life. no wonder haters are usually single…lmao

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/chictatious1/ chictatious1

    i like tyra, but she is trying to hard to be like oprah and the oprah show is suppose to end in ’10 or ’11…i sense a conspiracy.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/dottie_03/ dottie_03

    nooooo..i rather for wendy williams to cancel and tyra stay on …honestly..wendy is koo but theres enough gossip shows out there for everyone to go around. i like tyra she actually talks about stuff. i prefer tyra over wendy anyday.

    thank goodness! but does that really mean less bs from the media?

    NOPE so

    YAWN

    Awww man….. I really liked her show =(, oh well, atleast she was able to have a show for a while.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ittybittydiva07/ ittybittydiva07

    I am going to REALLY miss the Tyra Banks Show. I love this show. Tyra really keeps it real. But I do wish her much success and happiness in her future endeavors.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CaliFemme23/ CaliFemme23

    Kris_87…OK first of all im quite SICK of the word ‘hater’..anytime anyone disagrees these days or voices a mere opinion they are labeled a ‘hater’ as opposed to someone who JUST has a difference of opinion. The article did not say “ONLY THOSE THAT LIKE TYRA CAN POST” so People need to get over that one. I never said she didnt do anything positive or whatever, and im glad shes black and doing her thing. I just think she sends mixed messages from one show to the next. While she says ‘love yourself and dont change’..she wears more weave,eyelashes,fake nails, and color contact lenses. My daughter even asked me..”If tyra is big on loving yourself just the way you are, why does she wear so much FAKE stuff?”.

    Its AMAZING how someone who DOES NOT KNOW ME can tell me to ‘get my life together’, like you saw me standing on the corner hookin or smokin a pipe! JUST because Im not feelin Tyra doesnt mean I dont have my own life together. I’m educated, college grad, I work, take care of business just like most other people so stop the judgements because im not on the big screen for EVERYBODY to criticize LIKE TYRA IS! And what the hell does me having an opinion have to do with being single? So EVERYBODY that posts in these forums are single because we might disagree with one another?

    TIP: Nyggaz need to stop saying stupid shyt and focus on THEIR bidness instead of worrying about who’s single which has NOTHING to do with this damn article.

    Yippee! The Tyra Show focused on vacuous topics, and the topics that had substance were not showcased properly because of Tyra’s lack of interviewing prowess. Her incessant insistence on hypocritical promotion of self-love was so transparent. How can you preach self-love while donning 10 tons of fake hair, a gallon of make-up, and the most technological advanced body shapers known to mankind. This is the also the same woman who told the world to “Kiss her big, fat, black behind”, and espousing her ardent love for her curves; and yet, the minute the opportunity arose for her to lose the excessive weight, she jumped on it, losing 35 pounds to regain her modelesque figure. What a phony baloney! Although I have never watched the Wendy Williams Show, and I have no intentions of watching it, the scuttlebutt is that when Wendy Williams came to FOX, Tyra’s demise was written on the wall. Hasta La Vista, Baby!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Nightowl358/ Nightowl358

    She’s better than Wendy Williams wig wearin’ ass.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CaliFemme23/ CaliFemme23

    Nefertiti313..THANK YOU!!! Nefertiti you spoke on it! One season Tyra was frontin a freakin TAG on her chest that said ’165lbs’…next thing you know she back down to that 130lbs and she’ll turn right around and put on a ‘fat’ suit so she can ‘feel the big persons pain’. MIXED MESSAGE! The chick is as fake as a hoe in a church house. And I hope Wendy Williams manish azz takes the hint and follows with her low class, idiotic, MESSY self!

    Ah damn! I did it again! Just cant seen to stop being a HATER! lol
