Tyra Banks Says You Can Kiss Her Fit Behind
Remember in 2007 when Tyra Banks gained some weight and the tabloids went crazy, calling her "Tyra Porkchop" and referred to her show as "America Next Top Waddle"? Well, Tyra's changed her diet and lost 30 pounds after struggling with stomach problems.
"I would get major attacks," Banks, 35, says. "I would be in bed for days, it was so painful.
"I switched up my unhealthy eating habits for healthier eating habits, and I haven't had a tummy attack since December '08," she says.
Yet Tyra says she still loves her curves.
"I feel good about my curves and my imperfections – my booty, my boobs, my thighs – I embrace it all," she says. "Now I really can say … kiss my fat – and still fat – a**."
Tyra will reveal all on her talk show, 'The Tyra Show,' tomorrow. Although, I must say, I don't think Tyra is fat. She may be heavy compared to your average model, but compared to your average woman? Nah.

Eddie Murphy To Appear On 'America's Next Top Model' Finale
Of all the people to appear on Tyra Banks' show, 'America's Next Top Model,' I would never have thought of Eddie Murphy. But it won't be for the typical reason celebrities appear on the show, to be a guest judge. Eddie's appearance will be for purely personal reasons.
[H]e will be there to cheer on his daughter, Bria Murphy, who will appear with the Top Model finalists in the show.
Awww... he'll be a proud daddy :) Who do you think will win this season?

Tyra Banks Dressing Up Like Kim Kardashian For Halloween
I never thought of Kim Kardashian as a Halloween costume. What do you think about Tyra Banks getting dressed up as Kim for today's episode? Rumor has it she will make three costume changes. Can't wait to see who else she decides to transform into. I am sure Kate Gosselin is on the list.
Tomorrow Kelly Ripa is going to dress up as Lady Gaga and one of the Real Housewives. It's going to be a really fun weekend for photos.

Lil Mama Defends Jumping Up On Stage During Jay Z's VMA Performance
Tyra Banks caught up with rapper Lil Mama and asked her about her controversial stage crashing incident at this year's MTV Video Music Awards. Lil Mama, who jumped on stage during Jay-Z and Alicia Keys "Empire State of Mind" performance, discussed being overwhelmed with emotion during the performance and revealed she has unsuccessfully reached out to both performers.
”I don’t think it was as serious as everyone was trying to make it out to be....When I was sitting in the stands I was very excited and I felt the connection, being from New York, being in Hip Hop...Alicia Keys being from Harlem and Jay Z being from Brooklyn and I was just so emotional. I was really feeling it....I felt like I was being embraced at the time, Jay-Z was bouncing back and I’m feeling like this whole moment is happening but I’m not planning it to be a moment, it just happened.”
Tyra: Didn’t he tap your leg though, like get back?
“But I didn’t feel it....I actually saw the tap tap later and I was embarrassed, I was like ‘Whoa, Jay-Z.’”
How did you know to do pose at end?
L'il Mama: “I’m a dancer, and I definitely felt it. I wasn’t there to ruin the performance, I wasn’t there to bring anyone down or anything down. In that moment I kind of felt it coming so I just went with the flow.”
Have you spoken to them since?
L'il Mama: “No, I haven’t, I have tried, I got management to reach out. I would like to speak to Jay-Z one-on-one, just to see how he felt. I would just love to apologize...It was never my intent to be disrespectful to anyone. I’ve always been a respectful young woman in this industry, people know me for that.”
Tyra: Do you have a message for Alicia?
L'il Mama: “You can tell her that I apologize and I definitely plan to work with both of them in the future and I hope this didn’t rock the boat.”
I have to be honest - I can't believe this is still news. Are you surprised that Tyra Banks dedicated a show to the issue?

LOL! Kathy Griffin spent some time dishing with Tyra Banks on 'The Tyra Show'. The appearance, which will air on Monday, September 21st, is part of Kathy's press rounds to promote her upcoming memoir 'Official Book Club Selection'.
The comedian came out on stage wearing one of Tyra's trademark weaves. The funny lady admitted she ran backstage and stole it from Tyra's dressing room when the model wasn't in there.
During the interview, Griffin brings up her divorce, claiming her ex-husband stole $72,000 from her during their marriage! YIKES! Kathy also opens up a bit about and the strife her family suffered over her now deceased brother, who she believes was a pedophile.
