Tyra Banks: Why models are paid to WALK and not TALK
I can always go for a good Tyra bit.. because she makes it so damn easy. Last night Tyra Banks took a seat in front of suspender-whore Larry King for the first time since she lost her sh*t over an unflattering beach pic. When King brought it up, the socially liberated model turned talk show host completely contradicted whatever she was trying to prove in the first place!Thankfully, CNN posted a transcript up on their site:
King: The last time you were on you were dealing with the "F" word, meaning fat. You were fighting back. There [was] a nonflattering tabloid photo of you -- remember? In the swimsuit?I couldn't help but be drawn to a particular part of the interview, when King sparked a conversation about Banks' natural hair:
Banks: Yes.
King: You lost weight since then.
Banks: Yes.
King: Do you still feel an image pressure? Do you think -- you think like a fat person?
Banks: I don't actually. You know...When I told the world to kiss my fat ass, I remained that size for two years. I maintained it with my ice cream and my salad with ranch and dressing and croutons and bacon bits. Like I -- I didn't look at myself even on television and think that I was too big or -- I don't know. I didn't -- it didn't connect. But since then I have lost a lot of weight"
King: All right. You kicked off season five of your talk show by revealing your real hair.
Banks: Let's talk about my hair right now. I know it's been a big mystery. And I was like it was an unsolved mystery, and I felt like I needed to solve this mystery. Like I've worn weaves and wigs and pieces and clip-ons and clip-outs and clip-downs and around since I was 17, 18, and I wanted to show the real me. I wanted to show the raw me, and I just got out of the shower -- beat the face first of course, you all -- and then came out of here -- on this stage, and this is me, you all. This is me.
King: How did that feel?
Banks: Oh my God, it felt so liberating. It felt so liberating. I have worn fake hair since I was 17 years old.
King: This -- is this real?
Banks: Yes. This is me. You want to feel my scalp?
King: Yes.
Banks: Yes? It's a little kinky in the scalp. That's like real black girl hair. But -- go -- go in there. Yes. That's -- yes. It's kinky. Exactly. My natural hair texture is very kinky. You felt my real hair texture. This is straightened. This part is straightened. This part is not, inside. But, I mean, hair for black women, we spend $9 billion a year on hair products -- black women do. So growing up as a young girl and seeing images in the media where they're saying that a certain type of hair is beautiful and yours isn't is very difficult for a black woman -- for black women and it's a -- it's a long, political thing that we can do a whole show about. But I felt it was my responsibility to show as much of my real hair as possible.

Pink Funhouse Tour makes Britney look like a clown
It seems like all pop music celebrities these days are using a circus theme as inspiration for their tours. Christina did it first, shortly followed by Britney - who was much more successful thanks to the help of a strong marketing team over at Jive. Now, we have even more celebs jumping out of the circus clown car, including the spunky pop diva with harder abs and smaller tits than both previously mentioned acts - the one and only Pink.16.9.09

really Kanye?

Today his blog reads :"I feel like Ben Stiller in "Meet the Parents" when he messed up everything and Robert De Niro asked him to leave... That was Taylor's moment and I had no right in any way to take it from her. I am truly sorry. "
