Rumour has it that Tyra Banks wants out from her reality show, America’s Next Top Model.

The catwalk queen is reportedly searching for a supermodel replacement to host the hit show, after her long-running feud with creative director and co-judge Jay Manuel has reached an all-time high.ÂÂ

“It’s gotten so bad that Tyra and Jay aren’t speaking,” an insider revealed.

However, bad blood between the two judges isn’t the only thing holding Tyra back from the show. The source added that the model is so engrossed in her self-titled talk show that she barely has any time for the contestants on Top Model, and only performs the “minimum duties” required of her.

“She’s really throwing all her weight behind [The Tyra Banks Show],” the insider explained. “She’s putting lots of pressure on her staff to keep her show on the map. She had Barack Obama on, she had Hilary Clinton on – she got a taste of playing with the big boys and now Top Model seems to detract from her big plans.”

At this point, Tyra has refused to comment on any of the rumours regarding the reality show.

According to Paper magazine blogger, Fabian Basabe, supermodel Tyra Banks “messed herself” during Fashion Week in New York.

Basabe claims he was conducting an interview in the W suite at the tents, when he was bustled out by Ms. Banks and her entourage, because she needed to change her clothes. He says the model-turned-television-host “soiled” herself and needed an immediate wardrobe change.

Tyra’s people were apparently already on hand with a completely new outfit, which led Basabe to believe that this wasn’t the first time such an “unfortunate accident” had happened to the star.

This is, of course, complete speculation, but I thought I’d post it anyway and see what you all thought: absolute b/s, or perhaps putridly on the money?? ;p

During an appearance on The Today Show this morning, 52-year-old Janice told host Al Roker that Love Hewitt was “a healthy, not emaciated woman.” ÂÂ

She then went on to call fellow model Tyra Banks fat. “These are unflattering camera angles on [Jennifer]. You want to see someone who’s fat? I’m sorry, Tyra. Tyra Banks is fat. This girl is not fat.”

Of course, when Roker picked on what she’d just said and defended the America’s Next Top Model host, Dickinson retracked her words rather quickly, saying, “I’m kidding because I love Miss Banks.”

Riiiiight. And I’m the Tooth Fairy.

Supermodel Tyra Banks might be one of the better looking gals on the catwalk, but it doesn’t help her get any in bed, as she’s too scared that her wig will fall off to invite any men back to her pad.

According to a pal, Ms. Banks is so “insecure” about her hair that she will not spend the night with any man, as she doesn’t want them to see her without her hair on!

“Tyra is a confident woman for the most part, but she is really insecure about her hair,” a source revealed. “She doesn’t want any guy to see her without her wigs or hair extensions.

“Tyra feels like guys are with her for her image that they see on TV and in magazines. If one wakes up without her glamorous hair, she’s worried he may not call back!”

So I guess the solution is to ignore them so they don’t call at all…

Three of the biggest egos in show business, Tyra Banks, Beyonce Knowles and Kimora Lee (in no particular order, mind you), spent a girls’ night out, courtside, at a recent Knick’s game.

Tyra, Beyonce and Kimmy hugged, screamed, kissed and drank their way through the basketball game, shocking on-lookers, who were more surprised to see so many big heads fit on one front row seat, then they were to actually see the celebs!

Oh, and Jay-Z came, too.

More images after the jump.

Some of you may have noticed that Tyra Banks has put on a little weight of late…30lbs to be exact…

She’s been slammed in the press, with headlines screaming “America’s Next Top Waddle” and “Tyra Porkchop,” but what does Tyra think about her new fuller figure??

“I still feel hot, but every day is different. It’s when I put on the jeans that used to fit a year ago and don’t fit now and give me the muffin top, that’s when I say, ‘Damn!’” Tyra told People Magazine recently.

“I feel more comfortable when I’m lighter – I sleep better, I snore less, I have more endurance when I work out, my arms look better.”

Tyra says she’s angry with the media for calling her new body “disgusting,” because she’s a role model for young girls.

“I get so much mail from young girls who say, ‘I look up to you, you’re not as skinny as everyone else, I think you’re beautiful.’ So when they say that my body is ‘ugly’ and ‘disgusting,’ what does that make those girls feel like?”

If there’s one thing Tyra could change about her new body, other than “the fat roll” she now claims to have on her back, it’s her DD breasts.

“I would love for them to be a size and a half smaller.”

Tyra Banks the egotistical aging model has an issue with her younger lookalike.

Feeling that her namesake is tainting her image, she has advised her porn-star lookalike, Tyra Banxxx, to quit the business and find a more respectable job.

Her advise doesn’t seem to have worked, with Banxxx just completing filming of a new hard-core video called “America’s Next Top Porn Model”.

In the movie women compete by performing sex acts.

Sounds pretty similar to a lot of the behind the scenes action that goes on in the entertainment world.

Banxxx says, “I love this business and I’m not going to leave it, and I’m not going to change my name.” [Source]

Oh yeah, the porn star is on the left.
