Is Tyra ready to exit ‘Top Model’ ? Reality On TV Update
The latest advertising campaign for ‘America’s Next Top Model’ has Tyra Banks, host of the show, holding a whip and looking quite mean. If the media reports are true, there little chance the advertising department could have known how meaningful that image may have been.
MSNBC, OK Magazine and others are reporting that tensions are brewing between Diva Tyra and Diva Jay Manuel, the photo shoot creative director and host of the ‘Top Model’ running in Canada.
A show insider tells OK Magazine, “the hostess with the mostest, Tyra Banks, and photographer Jay Manuel are this-close to having a catfight on the catwalk. Tyra Banks is not getting along with Jay Manuel. She thinks he has become a diva and is ungrateful to her for making him a star. The way she sees it, it’s thanks to her that he now has a makeup line, a show on Style Network and hosts Canada’s version of Top Model.”
The same insider is reported as saying, “Tyra barely interacts with the contestants and only wants to show up on judging day.”
For fans of the show, the most shocking revelation came when the insider was quoted as saying, “She wants another supermodel to replace her for cycle 13 so she can focus on her other projects.”
In recent weeks, Tyra’s been on the cover of Entertainment Weekly and was quoted as saying, ”Oprah Winfrey is a mogul. Martha Stewart is a mogul. I’m probably a mogul in the making. I’m almost there.” I guess Oprah and Martha should be on the lookout - Remember, Tyra’s got a whip - and I’m sure she knows how to use it.
Since Janice Dickinson, supermodel diva in her own right, already has a show who could/would take over the show? Jay perhaps? Would we even watch? Is anyone watching now?
I’m just waiting for the catfight on the catwalk between diva Jay and diva Tyra…
