Tyra Banks to Discuss 'What's Up Down There'

From People -



In what is likely a first for TV, Tyra Banks on Monday will devote her entire hour-long talk show to discussing the vagina.

"I have wanted to do this show for two years," says Banks, 33. "I know for a lot of women talking about what is going on in our bodies is extremely difficult, but it is incredibly important. We should be able to talk to our daughters, sisters, mothers and friends about our bodies and not be embarrassed. I hope after this show women will not be ashamed about what's up down there."

Banks gives her audience an anatomy quiz, welcomes two gynecologist to the show, and shows a segment in which she takes a 28-year-old Plano, Texas, woman to her very first gynecological appointment – all in an effort to educate women about what can be an uncomfortable topic.

I'm Tyrannoyed

From It's A Consumer's World, Baby blog -

'Some people over do self-love'
I am an avid watcher of ANTM and have known [not personally] Tyra Banks way before that. Tyra Banks has done a lot for herself and has accomplished a lot more than people of her age. She’s hardworking, beautiful, and she doesn’t want to fit in with “stick-skinny” models. She created America’s Next Top Model which has resulted not only as a successful TV show but also an international phenomenon with numerous countries following her.

So why can’t I stand her?
Because she’s deeply in love with her self. The Oprah “replacement” maybe went through too many successes. I know her intentions are good but she always ends up making things about herself. ANTM, “I did this in Milan”, “If you can’t do this like me, then you can’t make it”, “I remember when I was eighteen…..” Do you ever remember what you say? WE KNOW, OKAY? And to end her feud with Naomi Campbell? That is not an “Oprah would do this”. That’s a publicity stunt for her own benefit. She did this because Naomi Campbell tried to end her career and of the emotional pain piled up all these years.

Meanwhile on ANTM, she tells the girls that modeling is a tough world. People try to bring you down but it’s not “Top Model” for nothing. All the girls listen, all the judges listen, heck, the world listens. But this little truth applies to everyone except Tyra. So why are you biting Naomi’s butt trying to get her to apologize.

You could tell that inside Naomi’s mind, she was like, ‘you insecure idiot, I’m remembered as Supermodel/Superangry Naomi Campbell not someone who sits there and listens to all that complaining [Now where’s a telephone I could use?]’. Uh Oh Tyra, looks like someone’s more ‘fierce’ than you.
