Sex Addict's Mom Wants to Protect Her . . . From Sex Addicts

Mandy Harris — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 12:40:50 PDT

Who's smizing now? A McDonough, GA, woman is suing Tyra Banks for $3 million, after the woman's then-15-year-old daughter appeared on an episode of Tyra in 2009 to talk about her experience as a teen sex addict.

The sex addict part apparently isn't the problem; the issue is that the teen allegedly made the trip to New York and appeared on the show without mom's permission. Talk about picking your battles! The woman, who's a social worker herself, worries that the Tyra episode "was undoubtedly watched by sexual deviants, perverts and pedophiles alike."

Probably true - most sexual deviants never miss an episode of Tyra! But it does make me wonder if that concern would've been more useful before her daughter flew alone to New York, stayed in a hotel, and filmed the show? In any case, don't hold your breath for a chance to judge the episode in question for yourself; she's seeking an injunction against any future repeats of the show.

Will You Miss Tyra's Talk Show?

BuzzSugar — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 08:15:29 PST

Oprah Winfrey's not the only one leaving daytime television in the dust - Tyra Banks has announced that her talk show will end its run in Spring 2010. She said, "I’ve been loving having fun, coming into your living rooms, bedrooms, hair salons for the past 5 years." Tyra will be focusing her energy on Bankable Studios, her film production company.

While Tyra's empire pales in comparision to Oprah's, she still had some memorable moments (remember when she posed as a homeless person?) and won two Daytime Emmys. So here's my question: will you miss Tyra's talk show?

Kyle Schuneman Redesigns the Tyra Banks Show Office

CasaSugar — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 12:00:00 PDT

The Tyra Banks Show recently called upon one of my Designer Spotlights, Kyle Schuneman, to transform its drab and boring office into a fabulous workspace. Kyle started by painting the walls a serene blue with eco-friendly, zero-VOC paint. Then, he anchored the room with a Room and Board Parsons Desk and brought in a file cabinet with classic lines for storage. Nature-inspired curtains from Lotus Bleu added some pattern and chimed in on the earthy blue of the walls, while the Palladian Urn Crystal Lamp from Restoration Hardware gave the space polish.

I love how he mixed an Eames task chair knock-off with a Louis XIV side chair at the desk, flawlessly blending different eras and styles. Off to the side of the office, Kyle brought in the Urban Outfitters Antoinette Fainting Sofa, which countered the hard lines of the desk with feminine curves, and created a glamorous space to relax in with a mirrored table at its side. As for artwork, he displayed antique wallpaper in baroque frames from Ikea. Easy, instant, beautiful! See before and after photos and a widget of some of the products used when you

Funny enough, the space was shot by one of my Photographers to Watch, Joe Schmelzer! Check out the photos and tell me what you think. Do you like this makeover? Would you like to re-create this look in your home office?

Tyra Banks Is Out of Her Ever-Lovin' Mind

GiggleSugar — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 16:00:00 PDT

Joel McHale from The Soup didn't even need to make jokes about this recent Tyra Banks taking a bath story. It pretty much makes the commentary on its own. Step away from the crazy, Tyra.

Happy Birthday, Tyra Banks - See Her Style Evolution!

Hannah Weil — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 05:00:39 PST

As the first black model to grace the covers of GQ and Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue, Tyra Banks solidified her legacy early on. With countless runways, print campaigns (remember that sexy milk mustache for Got Milk?), commercials, and a turn as one of Victoria's Secret's ultra-sexy angels under her belt, there's no arguing the fact that Tyra's supermodel status is well deserved. Now, we know her best as Top Model-turned-talk show host and author - and of course, the woman who taught us all how to "smize" like a pro. In honor of the utterly fierce Miss Banks's birthday, we're celebrating with her stylish evolution. Click through for 50 of her most memorable fashion moments, and join us in wishing Tyra a very happy birthday.
