Feb 1 2007Tyra Banks stands up for fatties

On today's episode of The Tyra Banks Show, Tyra Banks puts on the bathing suit everybody's been calling her fat over. Then she goes ape shit and starts raging on anybody who's ever ridiculed somebody over their weight. In an attempt to fish for some viewers, the clip cuts off at the end of her rant telling the viewer to tune in to find out what she says. And not that you couldn't have guessed, but the part that was cut off was: "Kiss my fat ass."

The worst part of the clip is when she tries to hit her "sexy" poses. I'm pretty sure nobody is "used to seeing her like that." You don't get used to seeing horror. You could spend everyday with Brian Peppers and everytime you ran into him it'd still be: "Ahh! Jesus, Brian, put the bag back on."

Giant forehead girls activate!

She still looks like a weeble.

I CANNOT STAND TYRA!!!!

can we please stop talking about her? PLEASE

Seems to me the Fish guy has been reading the Brian Peppers comments here...

Gooooooooooooooo Tyra!

She's only saying that because she's the fattie now.

Unbe-weavable. Where did she buy that hair??

She's not fat. I am so pissed that people are calling her fat! She's average now!!! FFS!!!! You should all be fucking ashamed for thinking she is fat!!! She looks like a real woman, and that's great. I have ZERO respect for guys who say they could only love size ZERO girls. GO TYRA!!!

...What the Hell happened to her hair? Someone confussed her head for the ashtray?!

I LOVE TYRA!!! She may be crazy sometimes, but hello women are NOT perfect, Hollywood is a bunch of FAKE ROBOTS, and I appreciate women standing up to the numerous haters and stupid ass men who complain when women are curvy!
Those men should die!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

And by fattie, I mean normal, but with big thighs and a huge forehead. And an annoying personality. And insincerity.

I love the fact that she is BRAVE enough to gain weight and be so out there about it in Hollywood with all the freaking sticks. It's more than most of us would do. She's so cool.

She looks normal...above the knees. It's like someone took anorexic legs and grafted them onto Tyra's fat thighs.

Oh, and I have it on good authority that she is still hot. :P

Bullshit. Lazy slob. No excuses when you are rich.

How is she fat? She looks just like any other bitch you'd see on any given BET video dancing on a car or something. The way people are talking about her fivehead ass you'd think she looked like Star Jones pre-surgery...errr..."diet."

Weird. The fatties defending this fatty type in fat letters (caps). Maybe it's all due to a very serious vision problem?

Danner

HAHAHA! Shape of.....elastic!

This woman is such an attention hungry drama queen and has anyone told her yet how shittly
tacky that bathing suit is? She talks about being so strong that she isn't affected by all this yet at the end of the video she's whimpering lookin like a big ol' Chocolate Labrador Retrievers.

#18 I knew someone would see the reference. :)

Good for her. She has a completely average body type and - whatever her weight - she wears it well.

Beauty standards, and corresponding weight standards, have always varied depending on the time and place. Approximately 99.9% of the reasons guys like pin-thin girls is so their penis will look bigger, their muscles will look bigger, and THEY can FEEL bigger. (That's an official statistic from the Bureau of I-Just-Pulled-It-Out-of-my-Ass.) The girl's weight is just a tool to help them assert their own masculinity.

I'm telling ya, it's like what mothers always say about playground bullies: "They make fun of you to feel better about themselves!" Hence why racist people tend to be stupid, homophobes tend to be closet homos, and guys who think weighing over 100 pounds makes a girl fat... have wee weewees that can only look powerful if it's railing a Barbie doll.

(Irony alert: I just wrote a blog entry that makes it sound like I hate fat people. I guess I'm just an enigma!)

Um, the deal is, she's sticking up for fatties. She *knows* she's not anywhere near actual fat people. So, in a sense she's sticking up for no one. She's throwing pity out there for her 'viewers'. She's trying to say that she's one of them. I guarantee she'll lose weight in a few months and then be called 'brave', again.

holy crap nice muscle atrophy in her calves. how can she even stand up!

who is she trying to convince ? the fanatic crowd or herself ?

i hate when women yell "IM NOT FAT" . its something people should see, not something you decide and force others to beleive.

Boy, for someone who insists she's so strong, she was getting awfully emotional towards the end there.

I wouldn't want to get Tyra pissed off at me. The woman can really rant!

The bathing suit is just really unflattering. I mean, you can tell that she has put on weight, but she doesn't look bad.
I don't like her hair though.

I agree with 24 and 25... It's like saying "I'm pretty!!!!"

I'll repeat my what I've already said: She's a big ol' ghetto fat ass under all that Maybellene.

bring it on douchebags!

All you f-ing asshole MEN who call this woman names... may you find yourselves forever single and die alone and lonely.

TYRA IS BEAUTIFUL! And she CARES enough to take on the issues and support other women.

YOU GO TYRA!


Insiders are saying her next reality show will feature full-sized real people.
The tentative name of the new show is " America's Next Top Waddle"

a poor hoes oprah

Stating that she's a "normal" woman does not automatically mean she's not fat. Normal women are fat.

That doesn't mean she's not attractive or sexy or that she is. It just means she's fat. So scream "I'm not fat" all you want. You're still wrong.

And in that clip, she's not too bad, but in the photo that originally caused her to get all upset, she's a cow. Everybody stickin' up for fat chicks out there needs to relax a bit. Fat is fat no matter what euphemism you try to give it.

7 Bwahahahah!

Brian Peppers would look so hot in that bikini...but kind of fat.

I am really sick of people trying to get attention!!!!!!!! Its like the only way to get anyone to watch your crappy shows anymore is to act a fool. Take Miss America for instance, same shit. No one gives a damn so you gotta create a stir. These people are soulless. I don't know who to blame, The Real World or Jerry Springer.

wow! The wonderful world of Cover Girl will LOVE this! maybe she and Queen Latifah can do a commercial together on make-up...wait, Tyra's better off supporting other "big" women in Lany Bryant commercials..speaking of fat women period...where is Tyra's so-called "idol" Oprah to lose another 50 or so pounds when u need her? i saw her show a couple days ago. she's big as a house and no one's talking about her!

~N@ughty

BLAME FLAVA OF LOVE!

Tyra,

If you're reading this -- you're hot, and the more curves you gain, the hotter you'll become. Shake what your momma gave ya.

Sincerely,
Your new boyfriend, Krom

speaking of fat women...where's Oprah, Rosie and Kirstie Alley? Aren't they getting all the Jenny Craig they can get or something? or are they still somewhere chomping down burgers and pizzas and other fast food? hey! maybe they're all out together eating doughnuts. go check the Krispy Kremes on 59th and N.
~N@ughty

@35... That's what I'm sayin. Fat or not, she's not being sincere, never has been. She is beyond fake. She tries to be like the regular gals. First of all, it's laughable and second of all, why would you want to be a regular gal?! She's giving out a backhanded compliment.

And just to set the record straight, Tyra is not defending fat women..if she were, she would say YES I'M GAINING WEIGHT AND I LOVE IT! What this Chocolate Lab is doing is clearing herself of being called fat because she doesn't like it! So in other words, what she's really saying is, "HELL NO I'M NOT FAT AND WILL NEVER BE...YUK."

But is she for real or is she just cynically jumping on the PC bandwagon? She probably got fat deliberately so she could rant about it.

People complain that Nicole Ritchie is skinny, ppl complain that Tyra is fat, ppl complain too much I find. To my taste and the taste of many people LIKE NUMBER 8, go for the curves...

41
that's it! she's not fat. she's curvy. we've seen worse than that....

@43 - We're not complaining about Tyra being fat. We're complaining about her denying that she's fat and then she asks us to leave the fatties alone anyway. And just because I wouldn't fuck her with your dick, doesn't mean there aren't guys out there that like fatties.

@45... word.

Give all fat models a show on TV.

@47 - both of them?

why does she think she is a diva?
and why does she think people care what she says?
i cannot stand tyra banks...
she thinks she is doing things to change the world (wearing a "fat" suit, being homeless person)....wow, really newsbreaking stuff---how
many times have we seen specials with reporters going undercover?
thanks for being so innovative, tyra.
and its a little hard to stand up for all the "fat and ugly" people when you used to be a model....if i was severly overweight and unattractive, id be pissed that tyra thinks she knows what im going through...

and who told her that her hair looked good that way? her momma?

45
I don't have a dick of my own...but I don't find her pretty either...she just doesn't look that bad and maybe better than a lot of skinny skanks.. if you would stop yelling and dressing up that way!

The thing that bothers me most about this whole Tyra thing isn't that she gained weight and looks 'bad' ... I agree that she looks like any other curvy woman you'd see and women should be proud of their curves. What bugs me is that she gets so pissed off at the mere mention that she gained weight. For someone jumping to the defense of girls who have some extra meat on their bones, she sure as hell has a hard time taking it when people are pointing it out to HER. She's freaking out screaming "I'm SEXY! I made MILLIONS with this body!" Well good for you Tyra, then what the fuck are you complaining about??? Additionally it's not like she put on 10, 15 pounds like women tend to do and then workout to lose it - the girl put on a whole 30+ pounds! That's a pretty hefty significant increase, unless you just had a baby or something.

@50 - you don't have a dick of your own? So you had the complete surgery then? Congrats!

Now, she doesn't need to disguise herself with a fat suit(she actually DID this) to use fat folks as freak amusement for her show. Now she can drag her fat ass self to the streets and see how people react to her.

Have you ever seen the bitch eat? She was on Punk'd once and she chews like a cow with 3 sets of teeth. NASTY.

I wear a size 0 dress and a size 2 jeans. I think Tyra looks awesome. She might weigh 50 lbs more than me... but heck... she's 50x sexier (and 4 inches taller).

52-about 50

I meant "if SHE would stop yelling and dressing up that way...." sorry!

#55 you need to pick up that self esteem girl.


GOD! could this bitch just go away??!! She is such a damn fake. I can't stand her on that crappy show of hers America's Next Top Never was Never Will Be Model. She is a pretentitious, talentless media whore.

She thinks this will maker her the next Ophra by getting all the fat-ass American women to feel like she is one of THEM and is standing up for all women. ugh

40 I know I can't even watch her

She's a beastly lardass, but she looks clean.

I'd still hit it.

55
were you just looking for an opportunity to describe yourself??? if not, read #57.

Sorry, gaining weight doesn't transform her into Jesus... er, make that the Buddha. She's still a crazy, annoying, attention-seeker.

@62 - nice comeback. Almost as good as "I'm rubber, you're glue..."

I bet on the show she'll pull someone out of the audience and say, "Now, *She's FAT*! Do I look like that? Noooo!" She'll turn to the gal and say, "So, how does it feel to be fat and picked on?"

She reminds me of the black girl from real world season 3. "That wasn't...NOT...FUNNY!"

Okay so now you're a chubby girl Tyra. Who cares? So you aren't going to be really great looking again, no big deal, stop crying for goodness sake.

Can you imagine having to listen to some chick in your bedroom go on like this? Time to kick her out and trade up for a younger, less "affected" version.

Chubby Tyra, thou doth protest too much.

I think she looks nice. And despite what others say a woman who looks "normal" is not "fat", that's just retarded.

Fat and thin are comparative adjectives, if someone is fat they are "fatter than normal". Well duh. Then normal isn't fat.

Normal is fatter than waif-thin, but then most of those waif-thin anorexic girls with big fake boobies look positively gross to me. And besides, a woman shouldn't have to kill herself to fit society's current preoccupation with what is essentially a fantasy body type.

Tyra may be an attention whore, but she's not fat. She looks good. Curves are nice, and it wasn't long ago that the body type Tyra has was considered the preferred body type.

I'd do her.

If I retired from a career that required me to step on a scale every fifteen fucking minutes and subsist on lettuce, water, and the occasional compliment, I would be on a cheeseburger freight train myself. It's her feeling the need to refuse to apologize that I think makes her a big fat phony.

BTW - I take negative six jeans, negative eight dress - and my measurements are 28-16-28! Take a number, boys! Arf! Arf!

Hey, superficial writer person, maybe you should post a picture of yourself and allow the commenters on this site to subject you to the same scrutiny under which you place the people on this site. Tyra Banks is the healthiest person on this site today and her stand on weight is applaudable. What I like about this blog is that it usually seems to criticize celebrities who are too thin and "superficial." Tyra Banks is not. I would think you would support her. I know you need to be funny, but it wouldn't hurt to support someone with a healthy image every now and then.

50. Well it's not much to look at, but you can have mine if you want. I've got no use for it.

I am fairly certain, although I try not to watch the show ever, that last season she actually put a fat suit on and walked around the streets of (where is she? LA?) getting mocked, ridiculed and discriminated against by everyone. Then she took the fat suit off and cried because she "really understood the pain". HAHA! Moooooooooooo. I don't really care what size she is to tell you the truth, the woman's a nutjob. A loud mouthed, condescending, thinks her shit doesn't stink cunt. Speaking of which.....Hi Juila! How are you today sweetie? ~hugs~

@68...nice try fattie (or are you fatter than normal fat?)

now put down that Ho-Ho, YEAH! THAT ONE, the one you are holding now, and join your nearest health club.

#68 I was reading what you wrote all the way up to the 11th line and for some strange reason you had me thinking you were a female. Then I read the last 3 words and I suddenly felt confused.

RE being sick of Tyra: I'm really pretty grateful she's knocked ugly-ass Trump and Rosie off the Internets, so props to her there. Since Lohan has apparently dropped off the face of the earth and Paris isn't doing anything unique, this is what we've got for entertainment now. Deal with it.

I've said something like this before in other threads: people who are fucking 6 ft. tall (like Tyra) are bigger than people who aren't 6 ft. tall. She's supposed to weigh more (not sure why the actual number is important, it's not like anyone cares). She doesn't look as slender as she did when she was rockin' the VS catalogs and the runway because she's not getting paid to look like that, and if she's cool with it, good for her. If she wants to say she's not fat, well, that's fine, too, though she's got to know that in this country, many, many people are going to disagree. That's that whole fame thing. You can't control it. People are gonna say shit about you you don't like. Get over it, Tyra. Throwing a shit fit is not gonna help.

Also, as someone in another thread pointed out, she got paid millions to perpetuate the skinny model look (or the somewhat skinny model, she was always more bodacious than, say, Kate Moss), so she doesn't really have the right to bitch about it now that it's going against her. Live by the unrealistic body image, die by the unrealistic body image.

Having said all that, the swimsuit is not flattering and her hair looks crappy, too. Stop bleaching it, girl. And let it go curly. The hair she's got now makes her look like a drag queen. She could almost be Ru Paul's twin.

And last, props to: The tentative name of the new show is " America's Next Top Waddle" That's some funny shit.

Yeah, that 'America's next top waddle' comment was just as funny earlier this week on all the ads for Tyra's show.

64- say what?

71-let me see what you got....

50--"I don't have a dick of my own".....ahhhh....so that's your problem! You ain't gettin' none. That explains why you're such a raging douchebag.

And Yall think Fergie looks like a TRANNY?

She looks more like a man cuz of the thinning hair and giant forehead thing.

BTW Tyra, get the fuck over it. If you were once a super model, and now your looking all lumpy and you refuse to change that awful hair style, you need to expect some insults. Seriously is this like the first time she has ever heard someone calling her something other than beautiful? Roll with it and if you actually care skip a few meals...not like its gonna hurt ya.

Fat Ass

why did she die her hair the color of Bea Arthur's wig?

oops "dye"
omfg, i shouldnt even be near a computer right now.

#80

HA!!!!!
I actually loled at that.

tyra seems emotionally unstable.

I wrote #68, and I am male. Stands to reason that someone too stupid to be able to tell the difference between "fat" and "normal" would automatically assume that someone who thinks normal looking women are attractive must automatically be a girl, and a fat girl at that.

Pull your brain out of your shorts #73.

78- all I can read when you type is "i'm a sad individual who understands likes to project my own problems on other people" If you need some nice "ones" call me, I know a few!!!! They would probably require you to wear a paper bag but it's better than nothing!

@84
ROCK ON....Teenagers like more the skinny type. But mature and outgoing ppl, they don't look at that.

farty's back!!
she does look like some kind of freak. she maintains a partial anorexic frame under the blubber. it's like you can still see the skinny girl but now she has thunder-thighs of blubber. she is not exactly fat but, she can't proclaim she is in shape either.

She's sad to look at...can't wait for the next post superfish.;

I would respond but I honestly can't understand a word Ghoulia wrote. So far we're up to three languages that you manage to butcher whenever you attempt to communicate. Try Braille-I think we would have a better chance of understanding you if you wrote to us in Braille.

how do you know if I butcher french....you don't even speak it dope head!

# 84 Wrote:"Pull your brain out of your shorts #73"

He can't afford to. It's the only thing that makes it look like he actually has something down there.

dope head.

dope head

the beauty standard in hollywood (bones, size zero...) are made by gay and women... real men don't love to fuck bones! Its a lot more funny to fuck a curvy woman! By curvy i don't mean big! Curvy? Well tyra now looks curvy...its more sensual and attractive.

Hahahahaha you totally burned me #91, you are truly a comedy genius.

Guess what part of my brain I'm holding now.

how do you say dope head in Frrrronch?

Le' dope head!

jrzmommy

and don't forget to sneer when you say "Le"

How do you say poopy head in french? Oh, wait, let me guess...."magickal"...ahhahahahaha, sheer brilliance. Julia, you slay me with your wit.

Very good! See, you didn't have to get abrasive or destroy centruies old languages or show us your big swollen gums to do that. It was short and to the point. See how easy that was Ghoulia!

um, fuck the tyra video. brian peppers is fucking terrifying!!

hahahahaha you people crack me up!!!

#12 How is she BRAVE enough to gain weight? As in "Cover me, there's a dangerous corndog I need to defuse?" Thanks for taking on those chili fries mano a mano, Tyra.

Till my great delight i just see Tyra Banks knows how to arch her back quite good.But the problem is when she does that her belly is also suddenly prominent present.what you gonna do on that Tyra?

jrz, she's still 1 for 739.

Now, Sexy--you are on to a whole new way of thinking. A whole new marketing of America and our weight problem. No longer shall the likes of Ghoulia snort Obese Americans at our chubby countrymen when they visit the whorehouses of Quebec!......the world will call them BRAVE AMERICANS!

centruies???

got my sickness??

oh give me a break, tyra looks 10 times better than the average women EVEN with a little more weight... and honestly, she's spent the last 15 years trying to eat as little and as healthy as possible to stay in her "super model" figure... who cares if she wants to eat more normally now? and all things considered being 5'10 and 160 pounds is actually not "fat" at all. it's a perfectly normal and healthy weight... she's probably a womens size 10 or 12 by now. it just LOOKS worse because she was a 4 for most of her life.

you guys are 70% fat anyways... you all eat junk and that, the world knows it!!! Ever watched supersize me?????? Pretty good picture hein!!!

The first time I watched it, she annoyed me, and I thought she was loudmouthed, full of shit.
The second time I watched it, I feel like she may have made a point. It's not even about her being fat, or fatness itself, just in general it's about how women's bodies are always being scrutinized. No one ever does this to men, because believe me there are alot of men in hollywood who have gone way down hill, and a lot of men in real life who were never hot or even remotely good looking to begin with.

actually, it's more like 30% are obese, Ghoulia. So you better watch it or else we're gonna send them all north of the border for a Nacho and Bean Burrito convention.

#110 Ghoulia, just scarf down another poutine, why dontcha? Hein?

Heiny!!

why don't you roll them up here while you're at it.

I mean,Tyra Banks is complaining and whining about people calling her fat...That would be the same like i was complaining about my own handsome looks...Do you see now how ridiculous this is?

Nope, we're gonna drop them outta big B-52s onto your village. INCOMING!!!!!!!

wwwwwoooooooooowwwwwwwwwww. the war is on the other side of the planet....actually,you should know, it's controlled by your president!!!

@110....prove that statistic, prove it right now or you're full of shit.

#115 Another deathless response...that makes no sense. You'll be thrilled to know that Taco Bell just opened in Montreal. Chow down, babe.

From the Montreal Mirror: "In highly secretive fashion, the first-ever Taco Bell crossed the border to our belle province on December 18, 2006. Finally, the days of disrupting one’s bowel movements solely on poutine are over."

the last thing you'll see will be a 400 pound, purple polyester-encased, American buttock of a lady named Phyllis from Cincinnati falling out of the sky.

#119 Slim, 70% chance you're right. Oh, hell, 100%.

sounds freaking scary jrzmommy.... you win, I surrender!!!

You're goddammed right the war is over there and not on this continent. you wait, Canada's got their hands full up there--you wait for jet to fly into the CN Tower.

#123 Fuck, you ARE French!!!

And I'm gonna drop her after she's eaten a bunch of greezy American McDonalds.......Ker-splat.

crash this shitty building down plz. and the olympic stadium too. this way we'll have new shit.

Voila.

Why on earth would you want a plane to crash into a building over Toronto? didn't you see what happend in NYC when that happened? duh.

when the hell did you become all serious?

# 104. It's Hollywood. It would be very hard for anybody in the public eye to gain weight and still feel good about stepping infront of those cameras, being scrutinized. It is brave to go up and do that, and show your flaws so openly. Would you do that? Funny comment though.
Look at Keira, she's obviously lost weight. Yes, she's always been thin, but after making it big in Hollywood it seems she dropped yet another size to live up to some ideal.

Good on all you guys who find curves sexy!

Zero respect for size zero lovers!

NO MORE SLIPPING IN BRIAN PEPPERS LINKS! ARG! I HAD A FLASHBACK AND PUKED ON MY KEYBOARD. LAST TIME I READ ABOUT THAT GUY, I WAS SICK TO MY STOMACH FOR WEEKS. as an aside, is he dead yet? because surely for the love of god someone will just end it because that's not obviously human or belongs at all on this planet. ((shudder deeply...wipes up puked...))

You know, I really used to like Tyra. But now I think that she is a narcissistic and self-righteous brat. I for one am disgusted by this manipulative move. She made all of her millions by being skinny and beautiful, but now that she has finished living it up and is too lazy and self-indulgent to go to the gym and burn off that 8 pack of twinkies, she's tugging on the heart strings of overweight women in America. Her frame is clearly meant for a thin person. She is just letting herself go and is trying to cover her ass by acting as if she is representing overweight women. Disgusting.

#76 That's good. Unfortunately I get all my hard news from this site. I was kinda hoping we don't get Tyra's show up here - but it might be on the Comedy Channel.
(And good luck with the addictions)

Check the stats for 1999-2002. Not 70% overall but very close to it. We're a bunch of fat fucking pigs.

Vous voulez du vrai français? Je peux savoir pourquoi, durant une discussion sur Tyra Banks il y a des frustrés ici qui on envie d'appliquer leur problèmes de malbouffe au reste de la planète?

Et en passant, au Québec, on a peut-être de la poutine mais nous au moins ça ne constitue pas 99% de notre alimentation.

135- LOL

136-137
BRILLANT. je commençais à être à cour d'arguments avec ces crétins là!!! Étonnes-toi pas s'ils pensent que toi et moi, on est la même personne... aussitôt qu'ils savent que tu viens du Québec, té faite ma fille!!!

On appelle ça de l'Américanocentrisme ou plutôt de l'États-uniennocentrisme, car ça me fait crissement chier qu'il se croit être les seuls vrais Américains alors je préfère les appeler États-Uniens.

Oups, Ils se croient... au pluriel..

She's not fat for normal people standards, but she is fat by actress or model standards. But since she is no longer a model (she retired from modeling, remember?) who cares if she no longer has a model body? Her body is just fine - a litle chunky in the thighs, but fine - for working as a talk-show host. After all those years of starving, I can understand her wanting to relax a little. Her job just doesn't require the same type of body her old job did.

lol
t'as ben raison. ils pensent tout savoir, tout connaître et s'imaginent que parce qu'on est pas en guerre, on est des lâches...

YOU HEAR ME, YOU'RE A BUNCH OF CARPET MUNCHER! ALL YOU DO IS HIDE BEHIND YOUR FLAG...TAKE IT AWAY AND YOU'RE BUTT NAKED!!!

#131 N'Arianne, thanks.
Your point: It is Hollywood, but be honest, it's also a payoff - you trade being able to stuff yourself with whatever you want at IHOP for being paid to be a public figure with a public image.
Be average size all you want - and at her height, she's just about 10 lbs over. (And if her calves weren't so scrawny, her thighs might look smaller...)
But networks don't pay out the bucks she's getting for an average size, or chubbier figure, to host Top Model, so choose: the fries or the dough. And don't whine because you can't have both, you know?

I didn't realise this but people here really hate canada because we don't want to fight??

I mean, you already do enough evil and stupidity for a thousand years, you really expect other countries to be that silly and selfish?

@135....FUCK! well played, fucking freedom of information, damn this democratic system that allows us access to information such as this!!!

@145
Sad isn't it???

135 Tabernac ! C'est tres 'chubby'
mais...I suppose I should be working...

#145 Mia, do you really want your buildings under terrorist attack, like your compatriot in #127? Because you came late, you might want to check out what she's been spewing ever since the Angie thread before you start in.
Julia, again, don't make it all about Canada. It's you a lot of us hate.

Yes, really sad. I don't hate them, i feel a lot of pity now. It's amazing to see how they are insecure. They will put their shame on others before they admit their mistakes. Stop thinking that you are the center of the universe. Stop thinking that all your decisions a good. And start questionning your government. You're ignorant and you like it.

# 151 That's a little harsh - and it's not even Happy Hour.

#152 That's OK - she's ignorant and she likes it.

This must really piss off fat people -- Tyra pretending like she's one of them. She's barely thick at all ... hardly as fat as she pretends she sees herself as. Look at her face, calves, arms and ass. They're still relatively firm and thin. All she has is a bit of a belly. Big whoop.

It's like a dude with a bandaid on his wrist lamenting how tough it is to be a cripple ... in front of an audience of lepers. Ridiculous.

If you hate her, and I really don't know why, why do you put it on her nationality? You started this. If you don't want all Canadians to reply, then don't insult other posters on their nationality, because you will be insulted to.
And by the way, stop complaining about those ''terrorists'' attacks. It happens 5 years ago. You are not the first one to experiment a tragedy, but you are the one who seemed to be proud of it...

MIA
It's about fucking time you log on!!! They need to be put back in place. You're gonna get it from them but hey, we both know we're fucking right on this!!! Tell them whatever you want, they'll turn it against you. Especially that ignorant SEXYBITCH...she thinks she knows it all and she understands squats...dick fuck all!!! THINK BIG STI!

Et c'est très facile de répliquer en utilisant les propres paroles de l'autre. Si tu veux avoir l'air intelligente, et je dis bien avoir l'air, trouve quelque chose de plus convainquant.

H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E

After all the nasty shit she said about the little model wannabes on America's Next Top Model, she dares get upset when people call her Miss Tub Tub McFatty-Lard?

Yeah, she would have one plus size model every season (read: Tyra's weight now) and then the poor thing would never win because Thigh-ra didn't believe that fat girls can sell clothes. This was had bubble-y eyes, that one had a giant mouth, another one was chinny, one actually had her hips measured on camera by a major designer. HOW DID SHE THINK THEY FELT? OH WAIT, ONLY THIGH-RA HAS FEELINGS!

I think she should show clips of her being a total bitch to other people on her own show and then she can get righteous and lecture herself.

Fatty.

MIA
She says that because they treathened me to come and crash the CN tower by dropping a "400 pound, purple polyester-encased, American buttock of a lady named Phyllis from Cincinnati falling out of the sky" and I said bring it on!!!

Fish, could you add a scoreboard feature so the rest of us could weigh in on the SF internecine warfares, without having to add fuel to its wayward fire? Insert a little objectivity into the oneupsmanship.

PS. While I happen to adore the French (but only been to Quebec once) b/c they make me feel like an upbeat nothing-could-go-wrong person, unlike the Eyeore woe-is-me charred glasses type I am by comparison to my peers in America, the "I speak another language so I'm better than you" comment has to be one of the dumbest fucking lines of reasoning ever posted on the SF. Congratulations.

Hehe Mets-en, thing big sti!

At least, I can speak an other language, I don't stay home and mastubate on an english dictionnary...

@150
Ho stop it. You're gonna make me fucking cry now...

And if you haven't understand already, you ask for this french speaking shit. Goodbye. Bonne chance Juliabella.

Jealousy....I can sens it a country away....we are a billingual country so, get over it loser!!! she's right, we could come and work in the States if we want (not that we do but..) YOU CAN'T COME HERE...NOT EDUCATED ENOUGH!"

After reading the other comments I have to change what I said before. If she was okay with her weight she would not be making such a big deal about it. She would say, "Yes I am fat. So what?"
Even though I think she still looks fine, I think her being so offended by the comments means she has something against fat people.

166
De quoi tu parles?

(Actually I don't speak French either and manage to still get by.)

@164 now that's kinky, well, it depends, if it's an unabridged version.

Oh and before I forget, I wasn't doing a patriotic speech. I don't put my country on a pedestal, we have our problem here, but at least we keep it here. I'm not in love with my flag, I just despise yours.

Je leur dis que c'est eux qui voulaient que toi et moi on parle Français ici, ils l'ont demandé en nous insultant. Je dois partir et je te souhaitais bonne chance vu que tu te bats seul maintenant. Je reviendrai un autre jour!

I agree with #104. ? your reasoning #12. If she is so brave then Thunder Thighs John Travolta ought to be able to go take out Afghanistan single-handedly and let our troops come home. And then Travolta could go to India where his kind are protected for religious reasons.

172-173
Well said!
Ciao bella pis à la prochaine! Si j'te vois dans l'métro, j'te donnes un gros calin!!!

#144. Well, from what I understand her network actually feel that "ordinary" women can relate more to her new size...so I guess she'd still be getting a fair amount of (cookie?)dough.
It's true that you trade somethings in to get some fame out...good point.
She's making a bit too much of an issue out of this. Then again, I wouldn't like being called fat by the media either, you know?

At least we can all come together on two points, putting aside the well justified nationalist hatreds and deep seated resentment and revenge ethnic cleansing fantasies.

1. Tyra is a fat ass.

2. the metric system sucks

177
finally someone that has humor in here...

but she's not fat. just well packaged!!

This whole thing is very funny.

i think it's great that this post has generated such spirited and lengthy defenses of tyra, womanhood, and curves. typing burns calories.

@180
lol
so as having sex and laughing!!! I'm laughing now, guess what I'll be doing tonight!!

Pourquoi?

Type American, dammit!

Or we will send Donald Trump up there... you don't want that.

Even worse, we'll send Rosie to make fun of your language and steal away all your women...

@182
?????????????????????????????????????????????

Sigh. Millions of Americans are bilingual; like Canada, the US is a land of immigrants. Some add to their languages, some don't. Me, I've got five, and was raised in a bilingual home.

I wish someone would exploid a landmine on this thread.

*explode* I mean- I see that I am becoming a idiot as well. At least I am an American Idiot though.

And that still doesn't make my comments worth reading. :)

181
Hey, is the answer blowing every infected homeless bum you can find? DSid I win?

De eso es de lo que no se han dado cuenta. Saber dos idiomas no es gran cosa hoy dia.

see, no big deal, I bet many here know two languages, now tell me you know japanese or chinese and I'll be impressed, them's money makin' languages.

Though I'm not among the group of assholes calling Tyra fat, I'd be honored to be first in line to kiss her fat ass. YOWWW!!!

189
You're right, there is no big deal on speaking two language. But I don't see anybody here laughing on english, japanese, spanish or whatever. I see people laughing at french and Quebec and I see that Americans seemed to be mad at us because we don't go to war. I think this is stupid. You want you're fucking oil, you want to kill everything that pray to the East, that is you're fucking choice. But don't blame those who doesn't agree with you. Don't blame those who are not enough selfish to forget that before being a citizen of their country they are human beings. You can laugh a the big fat ass of anybody a don't care, a big fat ass can be change, but your nationality can't be and you should not laugh at what is different than you. Ever since I've been reading comments on this site I see racists comments. You're proud because you are a land of Immigrants? Than act so. You're country is a contradiction. You are one of the most multiethnic country and one of the most racist. You have Hollywood and you have the creationist theory. You chose you're president by the strength of is faith and you agree with a war that kills millions of human beings. You are proud of you're fucking country? Than be proud and stop trying to insult everybody around you. That only show your insecurity of being a United Statian.

You WIN!

Is that good enough for you, princess?


can we move on?

How OLD are you lametwats? 6? Trying to act superior because you speak SurrenderMonkey, oops, I mean French? If you're trying to impress everyone, you're dismally failing and I'm laughing at you.

@191
"agree with a war that kills millions of human beings"???? WTF? I don't even want to go there. You're useless and hopeless.

If you really want to move on, stop provoking me by adding you're little opinion, princesa.

Mia, I've got no problem with you, except that I didn't pick Bush, although I have to live with him. I've got a problem with Julia - you got to admit she's probably not that smart, even in French. But I'm bored and procrastinating, and that's my bad.

Sorry 194, I have to move on, so I can't tell you that if you're are not smart enough to understand that if you don't agree with this war, my comment wasn't for you, then I just can't speak with you, you are useless and hopeless.

196
I don't understand why you have to tell me that. If you didn't chose Bush, then you're my friend. But don't come like this sexybitch or this futurama boy who insult you're country by making a bad reprensentation of you're opinion. I know that it is not every american that love bush or is a fanatic Christian. But I came here to laugh at celebrities and a read comments that insult my province. So i'm just defending myself. And for Julia, I don't know her. I won't judge here because she didn't say something I dislike. So I don't dislike her. Not because she's from Quebec, but because she's not mean.

Oh you silly fucking canadians. Do you two have to comment about every other persons comments? And French? That was so 10th grade. Have you two reached that pinnacle juncture yet? Word from the wise, puberty is a motherfucker.

Signed,
Useless and hopeless (in America bitches)

# 198
I agree about the racist comments.
But everyone seems to get insulted on this site.
Don't take it so seriously. Read the disclaimer.

And by the way D'Oh Eyes, I'm 25 and if you don't want to go there, why do you call french surrendermonkey? Why do you laugh at french. Do you know that there are a lot of common word between french and english? I didn't laugh at your langage, jrzmommy laugh at mine and she did it the first. So it's just self defense.

Yes, but with all those comments I see now, I understand that I'm not the only one who think that being insulted on our nationality is not funny.

202 (yes i've read the disclaimer)

Meh. I've got mixed feelings. On the one hand, she's not "fat" by any common sense meaning of the word.

On the other hand, she's made her living by exploiting her body and conforming to the most unreasonable standards of "sexiness" possible - literally raising an impossible bar for anyone to achieve (even herself).

Let the "fatty" lie in the bed she's made for herself, I say.

Word from the wise : insult is the weak's weapon

JULIABELLA ichRa otGay a ickDay orFay ouYay. othingNay aySay oodGay orningMay heTay renchFay ayWay ikeLay umCay upCay akeCay.

206, and you think that putting the first letter of every word with ay at the end makes you a bilingual?

Woo Hoo ! Pig Latin is the new Esperanto !!

Well that was a great discussion. And i've proved my point : insult a nationality for a total pointless reason is stupid and both canadian and united-statian hate that. So, Goodbye, Auf Wiedersehen, Sayonara, Ha det bra, Chalo, Adiós, Paalom, Au revoir.

she is fat. shes going nuts apparently. and her hair is turning gray.
i fail to see a good reason to give her a tv show and even keep her alive.
hm.

Tyra talks a whole lot about being 'real' and 'proud of who you are' for someone with fake hair.

She should set an example for all the battered women and little girls out there and go out without her weave once or twice.

@201
I'm not laughing at the French language, I'm laughing at you. I have nothing against the language, just ridiculous people like you who think we're going to be impressed that you can speak it. Woopty freakin' do.

P.S.
Your reading comprehension, grammar and spelling sucks.

Fact #1: TYRA IS FAT.

Fact #2: TYRA HAS THE UGLIEST PAIR OF LEGS I'VE EVER SEEN.

Fact #3: ONLY FATTIES DEFEND THIS FAT COW.

By the way, am I really the ONLY one who realizes that Juila and Mia are the same person?

Julia just created her little Quebecan French-speaking puppet in order for her to have SOMEONE to agree with her. The giveaways are the laughably bad spelling in BOTH languages and the slavish affection they both lavish on each other.

So if I see one more person politely explaining to sock-Mia why Julia is a douche, I'm going to give them an Engvall "Stupid Sign". ;)

What the hell is a United Statian? Is that on FM or AM?

Betcha that mia isn't really gone. Betcha she comes back on in a minute. Classic technique. Don't disappoint, mia!

Okay...let's get back to the topic at hand. Tyra Banks is not fat by any means. But if she is so supportive of "fat girls" then why is she so insulted at being called fat? If I were her, I'd laugh it off and say "yeah, I'm fat. Is that a problem?", instead of acting as if it was the worst thing to happen to her. People go through a lot more than being called fat, and if that is the worst of your problems (being called "fat) then you shouldn't be complaining. Now, to address the heated comments between our two Canadian Posters and the rest of us "idiot" Americans: I was born in India (I'm not indian myself, my dad's Irish-British and my mum's Arabic), and moved to this scountry when I was 13. I speak English, French, Hindi, and Urdu fluently, speak a little spanish, and can read and write in Arabic (not fluently however). I'm democratic, and pride myself in the fact that I did not vote for Bush, and even though I don't support the war, I support our troops as they are only doing their jobs and many of my friends are in the armed forces. I absolutely detest people making fun of the French and Canadians for their stand on the war, but that doesn't mean I will stand by and not say anything when my country that I am proud of is insulted. Yes, there are other countries that have been victims of terrorism, but that doesn't lessen the impact of the events that took place here. Innocent people lost their lives there too, and that should still mean something even though five years have since passed. So let's stop this childish bullshit about "my country's better" "no, mine is...". We should all be proud of where we come from, but that doesn't have to mean we have to insult other people to feel pride. I am not defending anyone's comments here, just adding my own opinion. Besides, I thought we were all here to make fun of celebrities, not each other... oh, and I hate Tyra Banks. Dunno if I said that earlier...

Oh, and I'm laughing my ass of at the Japanese and Chinese being the money languages comment...that was hilarious!

*off...he he...my spelling sux...lol

214, there are not only 2 quebecois in quebec. And I thought that you were smart enough to understand me despite my bad spelling. I don't pretend to be biligual. When a speak english I have a really bad accent. But at least, being a french speaker I have, unlike a lot here, a good reason to look like a retarded when I speak english. But If you want to discuss french linguistic with me, i'm all yours.
And by the way, Julia seems to live in Montreal, because she talks about the subway. I live in Quebec city, near Charlesbourg, which is far from Montreal... But, being in canada and not in United-State (united-statian... you understand now 215) you probably don't care. So pretend I'm not here, in fact, i'm supposed to be gone right now.

aaaaaaaaaand she comes through!

And also apparently has her humor chip permanently corrupted. Sucks to be you!

And by the way, everybody who feel bad because a said 10th grade things, superficial things or puberty things or everything that you said I said, mayby you are just a little sensitive... Read the disclamer...

Heh. I'll bite. I'm bored enough.

Mia/Julia, when you go on at length about how "hated" you are by Americans because your country is more educated, more cultured, and more all-around-snotty, then it usually helps one's case to not write like a four year old on crack. Not only is your spelling terrible in both French and English, but you also frequently use entirely the wrong word, in a failed attempt to sound "edumacated".

And, darlin', I DO appreciate how Mia/Julia pretends to be strangers one moment and, the next moment, you know where each other live. And, of course!, I believe you when you tell me which provence you reside in. Incidentally, I'm in South Australia right now....

....or AM I?

(By the way, another "sock" quality that marks you - you've declared 5 times now that you're "leaving" but you just can't help but keep posting. Heh.)

People from the United States are called Americans..I'm pretty sure 'United-Statian' isn't a real word o_O

Don't bother, EJ, she's not the brightest Crayon in the box. That's fuckstick in French, btw.

Ren, I've heard USAian, too. I'm partial to that one myself - short and to the point, and I don't get a country music singer in my head bawling about how he's "Proud to be an American!!!!!!".

But that's just me.

"United Statian" is just plain 'ol stupid.

lol I read that as 'USAsian' and I was like erm..alright =P

Just a tip to the Mia chick..if you're going to make up words and try to get away with it, don't make them sound goofy.

You're breaking my heart, Mia darling...My sensitivity is causing me to bawl right now...ha ha, what a joke. I wasn't addressing just you when I said let's stop the childish bullshit, but since you decided to respond (so much for being "gone"...) I say fuck it. Let's all insult each other's moms while we're at it. We'll make a fieldtrip out of it...ha ha. Where are everyone's senses of humor? In miami, anticipating the bears stomping the colts and winning the superbwol? ha ha, I'm so clever! GO BEARS!!!!!!!!

#70, I like it.

I wonder if we'd all even be talking about it if she didn't have a show in which people judge skinny girls.... and yeah, the video is hypocritical. Well, maybe just irritating.

I wonder about the guys that call her fat... are they all sleeping with the like 3 skinny girls, or do they call their wives and girlfriends fat too?

And I suppose that will cause people to call me fat.... I could be. I could also be skinny or average. It doesn't really matter.

Maybe people wouldn't think her thighs were big if her calves weren't so small.

As for some of you, I don't see the point of all the nationalistic arguing on here. America is nice, Canada is nice, the French are fun, etc. As for the Canadian-hating, I live in Seattle part of the year, and LA the rest of the year, and I never hear anyone say anything against Canadians. It's definitely a practice of the minority of this country.

And I guess you can say something against me, but I honestly am unlikely to click back on this as I'm done with Tyra, so it would be rather pointless.

@223, bingo!!!!!! and USAian? Really? Is it that hard to say American? I would think saying USAian takes more effort. And how do you pronounce that???

@EJ* I meant my question in a "did someone actually say that?" way...

lol I saw an icon the other day that said:
"Silly Canadians! They pay for things with skittles!"
xDD
I'm not bashing Canadians or anything, I wuv Canada, but that made me laugh pretty hard.

drewmansgirl,

First of all, love your posts.

Second: You are, of course, correct that USAian is a mouthful. I only meant that I use it online sometimes in place of "American". It's faster to type, you see, and it doesn't carry the same Bush-Patriot-CrooningCountrySinger connotation. Or rather, I USED to use it, but I've noticed that some people find it offensive, so I've decided to resign myself to the country singer in my head.

And, let us all remember as we sling the monkey poo, as the proudly bilingual Mia/Julia points out, we're not the first ones to "experiment a tragedy". (Giggle)

In a related note, if I had a left nut I'd give it for one of those Aqua Teen Mooninite signs CN placed all over Boston and scared the crap out of everyone with.
It'd look fantastic in my dorm room.

Ah, I reread my post and saw that I said I've "heard" USAian, so I see the source of the confusion.

I suppose I should say that I've "seen" USAian. Not quite the same thing. D'oh! :p

Yeah, she tells larger women to be proud of their bodies, but it looks as if she's lost quite a bit of weight since that photo was taken.

"If I had lower self esteem, I would probably be starving myself right. now."

She looks like that's exactly what she's been doing. She can't say one thing, say that she's proud of her womanly figure, when she quite obviously has had a negative reaction to the comments about that swimsuit and her body.

I guess, anything to help make real females and their fuller figures more acceptable is a good thing. Anorexia is an ugly, ugly disease, and I'd rather be over than underweight.

She still looks like E.T.

What exactly did Tyra say about Perez Hilton on her show?
I didn't see the broadcast..BestWeekEver said she referenced Perez but didn't say his name..what DID she say?

Did anyone notice that she's wearing tights with her bathing suit? And heels? Her tights probably have a control top. And she also has breast implants (and a weave), which makes her look smaller on the bottom. If you took that all away and actually looked at her or weighed her, you would see that she does have some fat on her.

And please don't talk about her being at a "healthy" weight. She shit she puts into her body is nowhere near healthy.

*The shit

U ppl r so messed up! dat girl is not fat! she is HEALTHY! not all of Hollywood girls (which should be HOLLOWWOOD instead!) need to be a walking effing stick. She looks great and best of all she is a confidant woman and successful at that! so why dont you all go eat a burger or something! bunch of Nicole Richie wannabes. hahahahaha U NASTY!

#238 Good call - and about the only good thing that can be said about her is that at least she kept on the one-piece. I still have the image of Kirstie Alley wearing a bikini with ultra strength bodyhose burned into my retinas.

#176 The media existed prior to this - they called her all sorts of things then, but they were complimentary and she didn't seeem to have any problems with the media then. She's made her living from her looks and being in the camera's eye - and she understood the industry long ago. When she got too voluptuous for couture runway work, she went the SI swimsuit route and then made a name at VS. So she's made a really damn good living by selling her image of face and body, not for any other reason. Does she really seem to be a woman who has serious self-esteem issues? If she's tired of being known for her body, if she wants to pork out at IHOP, more power to her, that's her choice. But to now be shocked - SHOCKED! - that people reject her current image in favor of the one she's pushed in various forms since she was 16 - is the grossest form of hypocrisy.

@173-

FUCK YOU. How DARE you bash the US like that? You KNOW you wish you could come here and live, but we wouldn't HAVE YOU, because we have standards (well, we did til we started letting in all the illegals). I'm going to go out and piss on a Canadian flag and then set it on fire in honor of you. Oh, and your English SUCKS. You sound like a retarded 3-year old, so please don't try to act like you're so superior to anyone who doesn't speak 2 or more languages....Ich spreche Deutsches, also gehen Bumsen sich. Essen Sie Scheiße und Würfel, dummes Weibchen. Die Franzosen sind für Käse Auslieferungaffen essend, ist Deutscher die Sprache des Vorlagenrennens, also schließen Sie das Bumsen. Weibchen.

Ich denke, daß ich gerechtes Gehen bin auf, Deutsch....will jedermann bekanntzugeben zu beginnen, zurück zu mir zu schreiben??


Как о русском? Хотя я не слишком хорош на русском... огорченном.

Wow, popular thread. Could someone kindly point me toward the funny posts? I'm not being sarcastic, I'm just lazy.

She's still hot. Mmm, boobies.

She is not fat at all. Anyone who thinks she's fat is insane, or just has never actually seen a fat person. It's ridiculous to have these standards for women. Get a clue: Almost all women look like that. If you see a woman who's super skinny, chances are, she has an eating disorder. Tyra is doing the right thing.

242

Ich spreche Deutsch auch. Die Franzosich denken sie sind die beste leute in der welt... doch sie sollen sheiss essen.

Tyra's a fat, lying asshole. At 5'11" she's not 161 lbs in that picture that exposed her cellulite. I'd guess she's topping 2 bills easily. A chunky monkey.

What kinda squigs me out is that she's obviously never had to work out as her calves are nonexistent. I've noticed this on a lot of Black women. The problem is, many of these Black women don't do a lick of physical activity other than maybe fuck their no-job loser baby daddy. They don't hike, bike, run, skate, play tennis [except for those 2 famous tranny tennis sisters - who look just like men wearing bad weaves]. Black women are allergic to sports unless a mattress is involved. I was walking my dogs as usual in my usual park; there are paved paths and then rocky hiking trails. Once in a while I'll spot a Black woman all dolled up in her weave of Chinese hair, heavy makeup, fingernails like talons, fugly shiny track-suit [the kind that real athletes or regular exercisers wouldn't be caught dead in]. Walking along - moseying along is more like it - yakking on the cell phone. They call that "exercise".

Tyra's never exercised her flabby ass or walked farther than from her chair to the bathroom to apply more make-up or check on that weave. Hence she has toothpick calves.

The only thing she exercises is her right to be a total revolting arrogant bitch in public who likes to run her flapping cakehole as if she had an original thought.

#241 Precisely, good analysis. Tyra & Oprah have the same attitude towards media - when it's kissing them all over like a new lover they lap it up. When the spotlight is a bit too intense or gets a touch too close to a personal hot button, they whine and cry about the evil media. Recall if you will Oprah's loving all the worship over her alleged good deeds [more like PR stunts], then her self-righteous indignation over Rosie's jab that she and her BFF Gayle may be big old lesbos.

Celebrities always want it one way: love me me me. Don't tell me anything unpleasant or real. Keep the lies of love flowing. Tyra's sold herself and image for a decade and a half now, she shouldn't be surprised when many of us find her new image less than gorgeous.

Next thing for Tyra: buying a village of orphans in Africa somewhere, starting a modelling school and posing for some photos wearing authentic native prints, with a lot of smilling, illiterate natives clutched to her ample bust.

This thing's still going?

Well Tyra is still a fat ass so I guess it's still relevant.

No, for an average woman Tyra would not be considered as too fat, that is at her current weight. But Tyra is getting too fat by the standards she set for herself in the past as a supermodel and by the standards she now sets for others on America’s Top Model. She has definitely retired from the runway but through America’s Top Model she remains connected to the world of fashion and being judged by outward appearances. Were she truly retired and not judging others there would be far less interest in her putting on weight.

Tyra no longer seems to have the incentive or discipline to watch what she eats and her visible lack of muscle tone now that she is in her 30's, more pronounced since her recent retirement indicates she does not have any passion for exercise. It seems apparent now that she probably dieted and exercised much more during her runway years than she let on at the time. Her decision to make 2005 her final appearance on the Victoria’s Secret special was made in the nick of time as the changes in her body were starting to become obvious.

Even though Tyra still looks good, especially when compared to the non-supermodels of the world, I am afraid that her habits, genetics and the passage time are revealing the more rotund Tyra of years to come. One need only look at her mother, an attractive but obviously full figured woman, in the current issue of People to see Tyra’s future natural form. Without a disciplined regime of diet and exercise an average weight gain of only 5 pounds a year would put her well over 200 lbs by the time she is in her early 40's. This is a conservative estimate, if we are to believe that she has only gained 30 pounds since 2005, since she averaging a gain of 15 pounds a year. Tyra’s famously large and natural breasts, which along with her height have served her well in the past to distract from her lower body weight, are another indication of her natural propensity to store fat. The rest of Tyra's body is now simply catching up to her very ample bosom, providing a natural belly cushion of support as her well-flaunted endowments succumb to the effects of gravity.

Perhaps the current attention will inspire Tyra to push away the plates of comfort food and hit the gym, but I doubt she will go that route as her interests now lie elsewhere. Besides her current audience is no longer made up of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition fans or those who attend the fashion shows in Paris and Milan. Her current fan base watches daytime television and they are more than happy to see Tyra progress towards the plus sizes that many of them wear. You can hear them shouting “go girl!“ on the Internet and declaring that Tyra will only become more beautiful in the future as her ever growing curves obscure any memory of the what many of them view as the oppressively thin and taut Tyra of the past. Tyra may still be ahead of the fashion curve the girth of the population increases and the thin models of the world face scorn and even unemployment if they fail reach the new Body Mass standards that are being imposed in some countries. Tyra may even be in demand someday to help overly skinny models gain weight. With her height and bone structure Tyra could weigh 260 or more with little effort and before we know it the hostess of Americas Top Model could be a contestant on The Biggest Loser. Now that would be must see TV.

MIA is so fucking stupid I have been LMAO since last night. D'OH Eyes - do you think if we spoke broken french to mia the way she slaughters english, that she would let is slide?? She calls herself bilingual and then keeps referring to a disclaimer -WTF?Is she a Canadian Lawyer?? Yes, (besides Pig Latin which I used in Honor of the PIG TYRA) I do speak other languages - but, unlike MIA or JULIABELLA, I use them to COMMUNICATE, not like they who try to prove they are "Special" and BTW, they must be really fat to try and pull out the big guns like that.
