Feb 21 2007Tyra Banks recreates Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover, loves herself
Can you tell which of the above is the original and which is the redo? Bet you can't!
Tyra Banks was the first African American to ever be on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue so to celebrate Black History month she decided to re-do the famous shoot. And by "celebrate Black History month" I mean "celebrate herself." Five years ago I was in love with this woman, and now all I want to do is punch her in the throat. That's an awful lot of Photoshop for someone who supposedly embraces their body and preaches that appearance doesn't matter. Christ, it's like somebody drew her on using the original cover as a reference. The only way it could look any more processed is if they replaced her with a picture of Garfield.
Some videos of Tyra Banks talking about how great she is and preparing for the photo shoot after the jump.

That doesn't look photoshopped at all.
2. kb1908 - February 21, 2007 9:10 AM
I thinks she looks great! Better than Beyonce! and finally it doesn't THAT photoshopped you can see she has gained weight, and she is still sexy!
3. judge and jury - February 21, 2007 9:10 AM
yeah...i feel much better about myself now!!
Thanks Tyra.

I can paint a more photorealistic portrayal of Tyra Banks than whoever did that photoshop job.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA just give it up fat ass.
WORST. PHOTOSHOP. JOB. EVER.

I look forward to Tyra's firm but fair leadership for the whole human race.
8. Erin - February 21, 2007 9:15 AM
Top 10 yes I think so ;)
9. serial snarkalec - February 21, 2007 9:16 AM
Looks exactly the same except for the big dick now in her pants.
10. peanutbuttercrotch - February 21, 2007 9:16 AM
her body looks like a damn cartoon!
11. 86 - February 21, 2007 9:16 AM
Where are the rolls??? The ROLLS??!!
Cuz you know she gots more rolls than a bakery.
12. Vanessa - February 21, 2007 9:17 AM
I think we should be pointing fingers at Sports Illus. for not "embracing her body". They're the ones who photoshopped her so ridiculously.
13. Kfed - February 21, 2007 9:17 AM
Her belly button in the first photo is an outy, but note the second photo... hmm completely different.
14. lustpockets - February 21, 2007 9:18 AM
I think it was just a matter of time before the n**ger in her over took everything else.
She is now what she truly is, a fat black bitch with attitude. Fo Shizzle.
15. 86 - February 21, 2007 9:21 AM
Word.
16. velveethra - February 21, 2007 9:23 AM
They even made her hands smaller. Why oh why didn't they fix that forehead?
17. NicotineEyePatch - February 21, 2007 9:27 AM
They should have just used the original cover and photoshopped a 2007 calendar next to her on the sand. Cheaper and more realistic.
18. misanthrope - February 21, 2007 9:28 AM
Good gravy. That's a whole lot of Photoshop. Embarrassing. But, it's nice to know that I could be a SI swimsuit model too. Heck, with just a little more Photoshop... Rosie frickin O'Donnell could be an SI cover girl!
19. UNWASHEDMASSES - February 21, 2007 9:29 AM
Love how Tyra has that whole show about how she's fat and proud ("Kiss my fat ass!"), then goes out of the way to duplicate her famous cover of ten years ago to show us she's really not that fat (which she isn't). Tyra, your insecurities are showing big time. And is it just me, or does it look like Tyra's had a little rhinoplasty? Her old nose looks a little thicker, particularly along the ridge. Watch her do a whole show now on how she hasn't had a nose job. Do you think if we start a rumor about her having vaginaplasty, aka a cunt tuck, she will show us her cooter on TV? Maybe have her OB-GYN appear with speculum to give expert testimony. All to uproarious applause by her zombies - I mean, audience.
20. BarbadoSlim - February 21, 2007 9:29 AM
This is what makes this woman a true piece of shit. Wasn't sh just gonna "keep it real," why all the computer touch up. SHE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THAT. I would have had some(not much) respect if she had gone sans photoshop.
And I don't need to read all her apologists blah blah blahing how all magazines do it blah blah. SHE LIED and she's full of shit and she's using overweight people.
21. shakeitout - February 21, 2007 9:30 AM
she really isn't fat, and not just in this incredibly over-photoshopped picture.
she does, however, look close to a zombie in the second photo.
22. bigponie - February 21, 2007 9:30 AM
I can't find any differences between her and spongebob squarpants, they look identical.
23. lambman - February 21, 2007 9:35 AM
um, what the heck is going on with her bellybutton in the second pic? seriously, that doesn't look right.
24. Stuey75 - February 21, 2007 9:36 AM
she also said on her show that she still had the same bikini and its supposed to be the point, that she can still fit in it.
ummmm thats not the same bikini, dots are different. sorry tyra i dont by the photoshoppe dimage, i mean shes hot and all but dont lie. let it allll hang out, beef curtains and all
25. Kate - February 21, 2007 9:37 AM
WTF did they use MS Paint for retouching? Even I could do a better job than that!
26. ScarletDove - February 21, 2007 9:38 AM
Doesn't anyone remember her on Oprah when that SI came out? She sat on Oprah's stage, looked back at the image on the screens, and said, those aren't my hips! She admitted they were photoshopped then!!!
27. Italian Stallion - February 21, 2007 9:38 AM
She may have gained a little weight, and these pictures were most likely photoshopped a little, but I would still love to lick the chocolate out of that pudding........
28. gossipmonger - February 21, 2007 9:38 AM
Recently there was some interview on TV with her, regarding this covershot and the bikini. She claimed that it was the same bikini but they had to add a bit of fabric to the sides of the top, as she had in fact grown somewhat since. Now look carefully at both pics... Its NOT the same bikini, the spots are all in different locations on both top and bottom... She's SO full of it and this is SO photoshopped, it's laughable..
29. Shan - February 21, 2007 9:39 AM
What I think is crap is that she even admitted that she had to have extra material shown into her original swimsuit so that it would fit! I don't consider that she is back in the same thing..it isn't the same size!
30. BarbadoSlim - February 21, 2007 9:39 AM
@19...woo, not only did she get the "LaToya" nose option it also looks as if she has worked on her cheeks and lips. Proud black woman my ass, girlfriend's just some white girl with a tan.
31. Populist - February 21, 2007 9:43 AM
Saw her video rant on Jimmy Kimmel's show. This chick seriously believes she struck a blow for the civil rights movement by posing for the SI cover. Time to throw MLK in the dustbin of history...Tyra posed in a bikini ten years ago! And that second cover is about a real as a Playboy photo.
32. mztry - February 21, 2007 9:47 AM
How beautiful she is!
THANK YOU TYRA for fighting the attitude that is displayed here.
WOMEN be ashamed of yourselves if you are making fun of this woman.
MEN... you will never get close to a woman this beautiful... inside and out!
33. TheLegend68 - February 21, 2007 9:48 AM
IS THIS A GORILLA OR A BABOON OR AN ORANGUTAN??? THAT THINK LOOKS HIDEOUS. WHAT A FAT FAKE BAG OF BUFFALO SHIT. LOOKS LIKE A COCONUT WITH DONKEY HAIR ATTACHED. NASTY. WHORE.
34. shameshame - February 21, 2007 9:51 AM
#33 ahahahahahaaaaaaa!!!!!
holy shit, i knew she didn't look like that naturally, she's always looked like a dolphin head transvestite. AND that is the most obvious rhinoplasty i have ever seen.
35. Italian Stallion - February 21, 2007 9:54 AM
I see the Wisemen is now The Legend......
36. jrzmommy - February 21, 2007 9:54 AM
I can understand photoshopping to make her look thinner, but why make her darker than the first one? It's supposed to be about progress!
37. BoardBetty - February 21, 2007 9:56 AM
28 - so right on! It's not even the same suit. The dots are in completely difference places and taking into consideration that they might have "added" extra fabric the like she stated wouldn't account for the different spots around the edges and seams.
Clearly, she's also had some plastic surgery. If she's gained weight so much how come her cheekbones are actually more pronounced now? I'm gonna bet that she's at least had her chin, cheeks and nose (for sure) done.
I will give her this - when she first started to hit it big I saw her on some late night show and I remember thinking, "Great googly moogly! She's dumber than a cup of dirt!" She was so inarticulate. Now, I'm not saying she's any more articulate these days, but she has certainly done well for herself.
Where are the brave women like Jamie Lee Curtis who will show the world how they look without being photoshopped?
38. BarbadoSlim - February 21, 2007 9:58 AM
@35....hehehe holy shit, what tipped you off?
39. LooptyLoo - February 21, 2007 9:59 AM
She says that she needs to add material to the sides of the top and the bottoms made a little bigger. Looking at the before and after the polka dots don't match up at all. It's an entirely new suit.
Air brushing out the belly, smooth out the skin and sides to make a nice hourglass...
Her thighs aren't touching. She's a fraud.
40. itspat - February 21, 2007 10:00 AM
do NOT mention those Jamie Lee Curtis pictures! every guy who was unlucky enough to look at them was unable to have an erection for a week. what her husband has to tolerate, somehow, while he retch-fucks her is his problem, not ours.
41. jrzmommy - February 21, 2007 10:00 AM
I thought Tyra was all about I'm liberated! I don't have to look super skinny no more! I'm a woman! So what's her point? Ugh--once a mirror kisser, always a mirror kisser.
Trolls...can't live with them, can't cut off their eyelids and tie them to stakes in the burning desert sun...........
42. Spindoc - February 21, 2007 10:01 AM
Pam Anderson did her anti-fur nude PETA poster when she was like 7 months pregnant and they were able to airbrush out the bulgin stomach.
This picture is such bullshit, why, if she weighs about 40lbs MORE now than she did in the origional cover (Which she has admitted to) is the space between her thighs even larger?!?!? NO Woman can gain 40 pounds and have NONE of it go to her thighs. this picture is a load of Crap.
43. RichPort - February 21, 2007 10:04 AM
#1 - Apparently all of your lame comments are photoshopped. How does it feel to lose each and every fucking time?
As for Tyra, I'd fuck the fat right off of her.
44. nicholelibra - February 21, 2007 10:07 AM
Speaking as someone who's had plenty of practice with photoshop in HS for yearbook, I can say without a doubt that this picture has been photoshopped to hell. All of the blemishes that are naturally present in skin are gone. the biggest giveaway would have to be the fact that the shadows between her legs are so dark, and that most of her skin is one solid shade. Look at the first picture, there's a varation of shadows, in all different shades, but the second picture only has about 2 variations.
Not to mention that there are several bulges missing. And I don't mean that in a synical way. Based on the clothes that you wear and daily activity there should be a bump or crease here or there, but yet it's smooth from top to bottom.
Also, if she had fabric added to the bikini, then why are ALL of the spots in different positions?
45. RichPort - February 21, 2007 10:08 AM
You can tell it's the real RichPort because I'm FUNNY!!!
46. BarbadoSlim - February 21, 2007 10:09 AM
The picture on the top, at least looks, realistic in how the light is reflecting on her wet skin. The bottom one just looks like a computer generated image. Anyone remember that computer animated toon Re-boot? That is what this is, the computer animated chic was hotter though.
47. Me No Know - February 21, 2007 10:12 AM
#33: No, Foxy Brown is a baboon. Tyra is clearly an alien. It would explain the strange orange glow radiating from her skin. Perhaps the effects of the sun's UV rays filtering through earth's atmosphere?
48. Kait - February 21, 2007 10:13 AM
IF you scroll up so that you don't see the head and only see the body, it looks like a computer model from Dead or Alive Beach Volleyball XD
49. ch474 - February 21, 2007 10:13 AM
I bet when she gets out of the ocean she has to pour out a cup of water and several small fish from her belly button.
50. ch474 - February 21, 2007 10:20 AM
Dumb twit. Check the last video where she tries on the bikini before alterations. She looked fine, and would have made a much better shot than without her hips and tummy Photoshopped to hell. So she's got stripper boobs! Flaunt it!
51. miss_anthropic - February 21, 2007 10:21 AM
ET PHONE HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
52. ponk - February 21, 2007 10:22 AM
bwahaha, i love how in the 1st picture her hair doesn't come down across her cleavage any more. Would have a been a bitch photoshopping those larger tits onto her and keeping the hair looking right.
53. DrunkBlogger - February 21, 2007 10:22 AM
All I know is that I'd Bangor, Maine.
54. polypam - February 21, 2007 10:28 AM
#12... Sports Illustrated had nothing to do with the cover recreation. Tyra did this all on her own, to prove that she still looks good. I watched the episode and while I can understand where she is coming from with the whole anti-superskinny thing, using Black History Month as an excuse to try to prove your point just came off as lame and vane. I'd rather watch those Dove "love your body" commercials for an hour than sit through her crappy talk show.
55. Camarilla - February 21, 2007 10:31 AM
Tyra is completely full of shit, especially about the plastic surgery denials. I remember watching her do a guest spot/interview on MTV's house of style in the early 90's (post Cindy Crawford as a host, it was either when Amber Valetta or Rebecca Romajin took over the roll)in which she admitted that her breasts were fake. The conversation was about how she wore really tight t-shirts, because baggy ones would hang off her chest and make her look chunkier, she then said something like "I paid for these, I might as well flaunt them." Obviously, it's been over a decade, so my memory might be off, but I'd love to find that clip.

58. LL - February 21, 2007 10:34 AM
What I love is how much trouble she's going to to prove to everybody how she thinks she looks great now and doesn't care what anybody else says. The way to demonstrate that, Tyra, is to ignore people who say shit about you and just go about your business (those crappy TV shows you do), rather than trying to recreate a magazine cover from a decade ago. Let's face it, both covers were probably Photoshopped thoroughly, the more recent one probably more extensively, but neither one of them are 100% "natural." Whatever "natural" means in the world of modeling. Tyra needs to STFU about her weight. Either lose the weight or keep the weight, but shut up already. Damn.
59. TheLegend68 - February 21, 2007 10:34 AM
I actually like animals, so I am a bastard for insulting the baboon, the gorilla and the orangutang. BUT THAT HIDEOUS SLUT STILL IS PROPER UGLY!!!

Methinks she's gorgeous - _despite_ the lousy Photoshop job!
61. TheLegend68 - February 21, 2007 10:37 AM
#34..........Dont insult dolphins. Insult Tyra Banks. She looks like buffalo and hippo shit mixed together.
62. polypam - February 21, 2007 10:37 AM
That's "vain". Oy.
And #32...Mztry (dang, I thought you'd gone forever!), maybe if you read all the other posts on here you'd see that most of them not making fun of how Tyra looks but picking on her for being a hypocrite.
63. F-Sucker - February 21, 2007 10:37 AM
Photoshopped as hell.
I'd still bang her silly.
64. D'oh Eyes - February 21, 2007 10:48 AM
I believe that filter is called "diffuse glow", used very liberally in the production of 1-hour portrait studios that cater to cholas, their chicas and baby daddies.

She may have gained 30lbs (30 not 40!) but she still looks damn good. i watch her show, and she does NOT look huge (even though you can tell this is TOTALLY photoshopped, i thought it would have been better to be more like the first one, but i could see it now if she DIDNT have it photoshopped everyone would be saying OMG PHOTOSHOP THAT SHIT)
67. Jnicole28 - February 21, 2007 10:54 AM
that IS a horrible photoshop job, i will admit, i dont think ive seen one that bad in a while! but shes still beautiful

It looks like she'e been rolling around in a big vat of blur. Totally stupid.
72. tits_on_snack - February 21, 2007 11:39 AM
I try to like Tyra. Try. I donno. She pissed me off on ANTM when she gave that Indian girl shit for wearing blue coloured contact lenses, and not being proud of her heritage and "trying to conform to be white"... Meanwhile she's sporting white chick hair. Where's the afro, T-banks?
73. dystopia - February 21, 2007 11:47 AM
That thing is so photoshopped. Nobody's skin looks that soft.
And whoever said that about the dots not being the same places is so right on.
74. Jacquelantern - February 21, 2007 11:51 AM
Did she go to Glamour Shots for this photo shoot?

76. WD-40 - February 21, 2007 12:07 PM
I don't know.....
The original cover shot looks like she is a ravenous vixen arising from the surf ready to ravage me.....
The new cover shot just looks like an insecure fat chick.
77. Sandrahrah - February 21, 2007 12:08 PM
Did anyone of you ever walk in a Victorias Secret show? Did anyone of you ever grace the cover of sports illustrated? Is anyone of you having his/her own TV Show? I don't think so.... So why don't you just go back to your candy closet, stuff yourself full with junk and then go to the toilet and puke it out again just like you always do....
78. Defcon - February 21, 2007 12:16 PM
So what.
She's beautiful and she weighs more.
It's not the end of the world.
79. Camarilla - February 21, 2007 12:24 PM
#77- It has nothing to do with jealousy and everything to do with a dislike of hypocrisy and lies. She's a beautiful woman, definately, but most the criticisms here are based on her personality, not her looks.

81. whitegold - February 21, 2007 12:31 PM
Say what you want about photoshopping and stuff, but she looked damn good in that first photo and still looks good in the second photo! So whether it's Tyra Banks or photoshop, one of those two deserves credit for making these damn fine photos!!!
82. cymbaline777 - February 21, 2007 12:33 PM
Although she looks great the one thing that stands out to me the most is that she definitely has had a nose job judging between the differences of the two pictures.
83. Thedude - February 21, 2007 12:49 PM
What overwhelms me is just how black she is. Shes blacker than an eight ball dipped in dark chocolate. At midnight.
84. greeneyedcat - February 21, 2007 12:52 PM
hahaha the dots ARE different, that's so funny
85. Defcon - February 21, 2007 12:52 PM
#80. Yepyep. If you think she's fat then you're just gonna have to deal. Tyra is on the cover of si, if those women criticizing her looks thinks she's a fat tranny then I can't wait to see them do better.
86. BarbadoSlim - February 21, 2007 1:05 PM
@85...that's the problem hoss, we don't know if that IS in fact "T-banks" (hehehe nice) on that cover. Looks like the just grafted that white girl's head on Jessica Rabbit's cartoon body.
Her first photo was real and awesome.
87. Yodie - February 21, 2007 1:10 PM
OK OK I know Tyra’s got a big mouth and everyone tired of hearing from here but in my own opinion (for what it matters) she one hot chick. Then again I’m a black dude, into thick chicks, ect.. ect.. (add your stereotype here)
88. FYIAD - February 21, 2007 1:17 PM
I can understand the first photo being Photoshopped - it was a magazine cover after all, and that's just how fashion works. But Photoshopping the second one is just hypocritical. So much for Miss T "It doesn't matter how much I weigh" Banks...
89. BoardBetty - February 21, 2007 1:24 PM
I know there are people on this site that receive VS catalogs. Anyone ever hang on to a catalog for a little while then receive another one in the mail? Anyone ever notice how sometimes they change the color of the lingerie on the model, but not the actual lingerie? Anyone ever notice that sometimes the models' heads will change bodies?
I mean, my gawd! These models are TALENTED!
90. Defcon - February 21, 2007 1:25 PM
#86 Well c'mon, we all know the photoshop is crap and it makes her look like she's radioactive. Not my point. I agree with everyone on that. It's the people who're giving her crap about her weight that's silly.
91. JadeJewel - February 21, 2007 1:34 PM
I think this is funny because that is obviously photoshoped. I used to like her show but it really seems like she is just into herself. Her show would be amazing if she actually focused on the things that mattered - OTHER people. We get it: she was a model, she was beautiful - Gosh beauty doesn't last forever. She should be happy that she had an amazing career before and now she should embrace post modeling by helping others!
92. JadeJewel - February 21, 2007 1:36 PM
Oh yeah - that was the WORST photoshop job ever!
93. woodhorse - February 21, 2007 1:59 PM

94. tipotropical - February 21, 2007 2:03 PM
Her belly button looks like a bottomless pit
95. RichPort - February 21, 2007 2:03 PM
90. Nope, it's the fact that she is simultaneously unapologetically fat, a model, and a fraud that makes her ripe for criticism.
"Look at me, I'm a model! I'm not fat ( and I'll use Photoshop to prove it ), not that there's anything wrong with being a huge, steaming hunk of fat hog!"
96. licklick - February 21, 2007 2:22 PM

It is not the fat. There are plenty of fat people in the world. It is not the airbrushing. That is done all the time. It is not the ghetto ranting. We've all heard her people talk on Maury. It is the lightbulb shaped head that makes her so fascinating. I've never seen anything like it in my life. Too bad the bulb never turns on.
103. Spindoc - February 21, 2007 2:45 PM
Maybe she got hungry and ate most of her fat while she was waiting for them to take the picture.......just a thought.
104. Jay from the Bay - February 21, 2007 3:03 PM
I am so sick of this fat ass. I'd love to see her and that tranny Miss J have a battle royale over the last twinkie.
105. Amy3000 - February 21, 2007 3:03 PM
What is wrong with her belly-button in the bottom pic? She's got an innie in the top pic, but the in the bottom pic it just looks like a black hole o.O. As for the polka dots not being in the same places though, Tyra freely admittied that the bikini had been "slightly modified"... whatever the hell that means.

Holy shit, the Cardinal knows some Guatemalan cave divers who could go spelunking in her damn naval cavity. Yes, those Guat's, as your Eminence Cardinal Juan Guadalupe Jesus Alazondo Ximenez calls them... they were all jeezy weezy with the Honduran stinky, it blew my fuckin mind. They'd light up a blunt that killed several thousand cave bats. True story. Amen.
And Yo... Take Tyra to the zoo!
To the L.A. zoo, take these niggaz to the L.A. zoo
108. RunningWithCarsAndBoysWithScissors - February 21, 2007 3:39 PM
do they have a newbie running photoshop? wtf?
109. meee - February 21, 2007 4:03 PM
dude, there is NO way her thighs don't touch when mine do. seriously.
110. Nikky Raney - February 21, 2007 4:12 PM
i loveee tyra bbankssss
but that photoshopping is terribly obvious :\
111. Nikky Raney - February 21, 2007 4:19 PM
i feel so bad. i love tyra banks so much; she is amazing; and anyone who doesnt give her credit is lame.. she was a super model. and now shes a really motivational person who helps people she went from model to oprah-like. and shes really sweet and successful. i love her, but that is so airbrushed.. like.. too obvious. it looks like something my 10 year old cousin did on photo shop!
112. sexybitch - February 21, 2007 4:38 PM
111 Do you mean motivational as in, I stuffed my face for months and it's the public's fault if they don't like how I look and I'm really proud to look like this but I'm photoshopping everything because I'm a big fat hypocrite? Like that?
113. HollyJ - February 21, 2007 5:06 PM
What's it with this girl's mound? Every picture of her looks like she has a dick tucked in there. That thing is like a mesa. Tyra Mesa
Isn't there surgery for that? Can't the photoshop a smaller penis on her?
114. sexybitch - February 21, 2007 5:24 PM
#113 Cisco Adler's hired all the good photoshop people to work on his balls. Tyra's gonna have to stand in line.
115. BarbadoSlim - February 21, 2007 5:26 PM
@111...Tyra Banks might be a glorified pantie model but she was never a REAL supermodel. That term gets thrown around waaaaaay too much.
116. lovescontroversy1 - February 21, 2007 5:47 PM
she's not serious. this bitch host's ANTM... where 20 starved white girls compete for a worthless modeling contract while tyra beats them like dogs and devours their self-esteem along the way.
HYPOCRITE maybe
117. diamondprynzez - February 21, 2007 5:51 PM
This is even worse than that Katie Couric photoshop job.
Her thighs look so damn fake.
118. Tarl - February 21, 2007 5:58 PM
I'd be ALL OVER Tyra Banks!! She was a babe then, and still a babe. She is still hot in my book.

120. marme - February 21, 2007 8:20 PM
yeah shes fu***ng annoying forsure but she looks good.
121. Hollywoodchick - February 21, 2007 8:26 PM
I am a retoucher and i've never seen such obvious outrageous rebuilding of someone's body. actually, i'm not even sure if they used her body at all. it is the fakest peice of shit i've EVER seen (just like Tyra!)
122. mimi_bleet - February 21, 2007 8:41 PM
They shouldn't have even bothered, because when you put them side-by-side it just makes the second one look so stupid.
The first photograph looks so natural. You can see all the light shining on her skin.
The second, in contrast, has no natural light reflecting on her skin because her stomach/arms/legs are airbrushed to a ridiculous degree.
123. grits2005 - February 21, 2007 8:55 PM
exactly what are you peopel looking at here lmao. photoshopped or not thsi woman is not fat in any sense of the word. If this is what society calls fat then all of us women have a hell of a road to go. I agree shes annoying but fat she is not.
124. PongGod - February 21, 2007 9:14 PM
I'd do a Photoshopped Tyra Banks any day.
125. carpemundus - February 21, 2007 9:36 PM
she photoshopped all to hell. is that a manaquin?

Boring.
So here's my salute to Black history month.
Lorne Greene says to Fiddler, in Roots: "Mind your tone, fiddler. Mind it, and mind it well."
Goodnight!
127. LEATHERFACE45 - February 21, 2007 10:11 PM
gimme a weak with this bitch.
waht ya gotta do is tie her down with leater cuffs (and maybe a ballgag, to cut down on the noise) and run a train on it, after i'm done i hand off to my man Scotch and so 4th.
one week of that and you don't need photoshop.
know what i'm sayinnnnnn.
128. LEATHERFACE45 - February 21, 2007 10:12 PM
maybe blast some of the rock gods know as linkin park, limp bizkit, staind.
just to get pumped.
129. neo_maxie_zoom_dweebie - February 21, 2007 11:13 PM
#123 Of course "thsi woman is not fat in any sense of the word" - that's BECAUSE she's been photoshopped, you moron! Try to keep up, for chrissakes.
130. Lowlands - February 22, 2007 12:09 AM
They took a window-dummy and photoshopped her face on the dummy.Is it me or is her laziness getting worse day by day?
131. hellcat1983 - February 22, 2007 12:46 AM
OH my god that HAS to be SO embarrassing for her. And if she's not embarrassed by the fact she's overly photoshopped, then she sure as hell should be! My god, that is the WORST photoshop job I've ever seen!
132. LEATHERFACE45 - February 22, 2007 12:51 AM
for the record, tyra is still super cute to me. but she has that bad vibe that she likes it kinky and that shed be ok with things like handcuffs and digging holes out in the middle of nowhere to keep bad secrets.
i like her but i don't like the messages she sends you know?
133. hellup - February 22, 2007 12:52 AM
was gonna comment earlier, but i fell into the gaping hole that is her bellybutton in the second pic... there's no way a 'skinny' person could have so much shadow there. poor photoshop indeed...
134. Lowlands - February 22, 2007 1:05 AM
On the first photo her bellybutton looks more like a gaping asshole with a haemorrhoid.
135. LEATHERFACE45 - February 22, 2007 1:29 AM
lowlands don't tell me you wouldn't keep that bellybutton in a barbed wire cage all to yourself, so that you could plunge into anytime without repurcussions
136. LEATHERFACE45 - February 22, 2007 1:30 AM
i would keep it in the cage and let my wife join in.
137. TheLegend666 - February 22, 2007 2:20 AM
SHE IS A FUCKING HIDEOUS CREATURE FROM THE CONGO SWAMP.
138. Lowlands - February 22, 2007 2:37 AM
#136)I'll bet you got a healthy sexlife,like most of the posters here (cough,cough).
139. Lowlands - February 22, 2007 2:44 AM
I think the surgeon who took care of her boobs couldn't find the right shaped silicons for her.That's why he probably used coconuts instead of silicons.
140. Lambency - February 22, 2007 3:41 AM
I wish I could turn into a video game character. :(
141. BritishBitch - February 22, 2007 5:12 AM
I don't believe its the same bikini. Why would multi millionairess Tyra Banks hold onto the same bikini for a decade? Doesn't make sense...
142. Lowlands - February 22, 2007 7:04 AM
She want us to believe it's the same bikini as well?Yeah right,we're all cookook.
143. BellaNY - February 22, 2007 7:06 AM
You GO girl!!
144. nidge - February 22, 2007 2:06 PM
Both pictures are extremely Photoshopped, but at least Tyra is allowed to look somewhat black in the more recent photo. The Sports Illustrated original has her looking more Vaguely-Mediterranean than African-American.
145. Truthseeker013 - February 22, 2007 3:34 PM
Re; #2- what he said. Now, if you'll excuse me...
146. dharma - February 22, 2007 6:30 PM
this is so funny... i love how she talks about it with such passion like it changed the world for black american women ,No bitch its just another picture of a girl with a nice stomach and big titts for guys to jerk off 2 its not that seriouse and in the second video she comments on how shes going to the beach to do it yeah right tyra your fake as hell ,very appropriate for black history month looser
147. grits2005 - February 22, 2007 7:37 PM
129 im not a moron u retard, i said photoshopped or not shes not fat and tahts what i meant to say. we all see her on tv all teh time and if tahst what you call fat then you must be anorexic as hell
148. melons - February 23, 2007 4:08 PM
This was dumb. In the first one she looks effing hot, its that curve of the hip. In the second one she is just standing there like a douche. I am pretty sure she would give someone shit on ANTM if they came up with a picture like that. Dumbass.
149. kinah - February 23, 2007 10:52 PM
Okay, anyone remember MAD TV's parody of Celine Dion loving herself in some show of her own?
The first Tyra video is SO MUCH like that parody, it's not even funny.
150. freakNpink - February 24, 2007 12:15 AM
I must admit I love Tyra and her talk show.
I feel shes one of the few REAL woman in the entertainment industry today. But really whoever did this cover screwed up.
151. theproject - February 24, 2007 12:07 PM
#150, did you just call her "real"? Please, she's so full of it.
152. Mrs_PriMeViL - February 28, 2007 9:09 PM
Anyone who thinks that DOESN'T looked photoshopped needs to get their eyes checked ASAP!
153. MisterBater - March 6, 2007 6:56 AM
She can come up to the big house any time!
154. HollywoodSnark - March 24, 2007 8:16 AM
she's so goddamned self-righteous...
155. epopgh - May 5, 2007 2:18 PM
u idiotic fools need to realize the only reason, why u insult her with with your rude unreasonable and yes rascist statements is because ur intimidated because shes a beautiful African American Woman. Little insecure punks like you have been just looking for one reason, no matter how little, to degrade this her, and now that youve found one your exploiting it to the fullest. And im sure she doesnt give a damn about what your sayin, shes probably on her way to the bank, laughing at you poor pathetic, losers who r so ugly u seek to degrade othrs, to boost your self esteem. Too bad it didnt work this time lol; you all are still ugly and shes still beautiful and rich. And by the way , you dumbass anorexic hos and limpdicks, shes not fat!! So keep watching your soap operas, starving ur ugly bony asses, sitting on the couch lazy, because the way youll spend the rest of ur life. Get use to it! :)

How did posing for SI do ANYTHING to impact black women when she looks WHITE?
