CW Threatens to Can Tyra if she doesn't slim down
September 21. Talk show host Tyra Banks has consistently said that she wants be the next Oprah Winfrey. And that has the CW Network nervous. MediaTakeOut.com has learned that executives at the new CW Network are worried that Tyra is putting on too much weight.
A producer for the CW network told MediaTakeOut.com that Tyra has been instructed to lose weight immediately. According to our source, "Tyra still looks good, but she's put on close to 50 pounds since starting her talk show ... things are really getting out of control." Our source continued, "I mean, she doesn't have the greatest personality, so if she starts getting too heavy, it could be a real problem for the show."
But the bigger problem, tells our source, is with Tyra and America's Next Top Model. The producer tells MediaTakeOut.com that if Tyra doesn't lose weight, she may not return next season. Our tipster explains, producers were not happy with the way Tyra looked this season. Adding, "when you see [Tyra] next to the girls on the show, you realize how much weight she's put on ... it's almost ridiculous."
And the pressure by her network bosses has already caused Tyra to back down on a pledge she made to fans. MediaTakeOut.com has discovered that promo photos for ANTM were photoshopped in order to make Tyra look slimmer. This goes directly against the supermodel's promise not to have photos of her digitally enhanced. When she announced the promise, Tyra told reporters, "Modeling is an unreal business, but I wants to make it more real."
Representatives for Tyra were not available for comment.

Re: CW Threatens to Can Tyra if she doesn't slim down
I don't even know where to begin with this...
First of all, I highly doubt that she's put on 50 pounds.
And second: who gives a crap how much she weighs????

Not sure how credible the "story" is...but I couldn't agree more with this quote:

And 3rd if she wants to be the next Oprah-why do you think Oprah has a cult following? because she is REAL! She struggles with her weight like most other women. These azzholes

Well, I did think to myself "she looks heavier than usual" when I was watching America's Next Top Model last night, but she certainly didn't look 50 lbs heavier. I wonder if I can find a pic...

I agree w/ the fact that TELLING her she HAS TO lose weight is disgusting -
HOWEVER, let's be realistic, for as much as I do like Tyra, she is first and foremost......a MODEL - I personally think she is very relatable and 'real' despite the fact that she's drop dead freak of nature gorgeous That being said, let's be honest, she's not curing cancer or splitting the atom -
So, if she's looking to be the next coming of Oprah - she might want to boost the intelligence factor and credibility a bit before she puts on 'Oprah' weight

Re: CW Threatens to Can Tyra if she doesn't slim down
I could really care less what she looks like, but the funny thing is, when i was watching ANTM last night, I DID notice that she had gained some weight! Weird.
