She's Our Role Model

Filed under: TV News > Reality Television

Tyra Banks continues to build on her brand and make more and more money!!!

Well on her way to being her generation's Oprah, the talk show and Top Model host has just inked a deal with the CW to produce a new reality show for them.

No, it's not a show on wigmaking, though Tyra should look into that.

The show is being described as The Devil Wears Prada meets The Assistant.
The series has received an eight-episode commitment and begins production in April for a launch in late spring or summer.

It's being eyed as a potential companion piece for Top Model.

"It is a competition show about aspiring assistants looking to become assistant editors at a fashion magazine," co-executive producer Ken Mok. "At the same time they're trying to prove themselves as aspiring fashionistas, that they have a sense of style and savvyness, all the things to make it in the fashion world."

No word yet on what magazine will be hosting contestants.

Hey, Teen Vogue is available!

    Please explain to me this. How can Tyra tell H. Clinton her platform is young girls body image and then still host top model. I know Tyra is uneducated, but doesn't she see the how that is crazy?

  38. datesun says – reply to this

    We don't need another Oprah!!! I seriously hope she disappears and fails miserably with this show. We don't need another "Ugly Betty" show.

    OH PLEASE! THIS BITCH IS THE FAKEST TRAMP OF THEM ALL!
    SHE PRETENDS TO CARE ABOUT EVERYONE OUT THERE WITH AN ISSUE.
    BUT THEN TOOK OFFENSE WHEN TABLOIDS CALLED HER FAT!
    IF YOU'RE FAT, WELL THEN YOU ARE FAT……BUT DON'T FREAK OUT OVER IT WHEN YOU HAVE SHOWS THAT ARE BASED AROUND TELLING WOMEN IT'S O.K.
    TO LOVE YOUR BODY THE WAY IT IS!
    TYRA BANKS IS AN OLD TIRED OUT HAG SO GET OVER YOURSELF ALREADY!
    IF SHE ASKED ME TODAY WHY I DISLIKE HER SO MUCH I WOULD SAY BECAUSE YOOU ARE FAKE AND SELF CENTERED AND IT'S ALL AN ACT YOU WANT PEOPLE TO PERCIEVE YOU ARE MISS PERFECT. GET OVER YOURSELF AND BE REAL FOR ONCE!

    there IS already a show that sounds identical to this one.

    but, two reality shows that are ridiculously similar airing? nooo, that's neeever happened before…

  52. Aubrey says – reply to this

    Her show (Tyra Banks Show) is very weird IMO. Tyra should've just stuck to modeling. And do away with the lace-front wigs. Is it just me or does she always tell women "be strong, don't let anyone make you complex," then in the next breath, she's telling magazines how she wouldn't ever want a man to see her w/o her wig…? This has me lost. IDK about this new show, sounds like it will consist of a bunch of drama llamas.

    Wasn't there already a reality show like that called "The fashionista diaries" or something like that.

    It sounds horrid. Last season's ANTM sucked big ol' hairy ones. Tyra has no magazine experience; the one thing she is able to bring to ANTM is her penchant for torture and ability to hype drama to fever-pitch. I just don't think the show will fly. And she does NOT need to be the sole "picker" for contestants in future cycles!

    . . . becoming the next Orprah (and I don't even LIKE Oprah) is laughable–and sad. At least Oprah is articulate. If Tyra is the current generation's Oprah, the lives of today's teens and 20-somethings (because who else would have the gag-reflex to even watch her show) have really gone down hill–not to mention their level of intelligence.

    Puh-leez, Tyra Banks the "Oprah of her generation!" Never. More like the Oprah wannabe of her generation. Her show sux in comparison to Oprah, and she tries to hard to be ghetto and normal to fit in with the audience and guests and is so phony at it it's just more annoying than anything. I mean she is an ex model but tries to whine all the time about how outcasted she felt, and how hard it was to be skinny, and how she grew up in rough times, waah waah. Oprah embraces her intelligence, her class and her status, and you can see it in how she carries herself on her show. Her topics are smart, her guests are interesting and have new a thoughtful views to share with people. Tyra fits in the same category with Montel. I'm so sick of her, she needs to give it a rest, and get out of our face!

  76. Cee Cee says – reply to this

    PLEASE NO! I can not stand her! She is NOT her generations Oprah she DOES NOT empower women. Everything that comes out of her mouth is over the top. So over the top she sounds fake & stupid. UGH! Get her off of TV. "There are 5 girls before me, but only 4 pictures in my hand. The girl who I don't call must immediately go back to the house & pack her bags…" DUH!!
