Tyra Banks Causes Controversy Over Black Face

Tyra Banks is always trying to do something over the top on her show America’s Next Top Model, especially now since the ratings are low.  On the most recent episode of the show Tyra painted the girls so that they would appear biracial, and some people were not to happy about it.  This episode comes only a few weeks after French Vogue was criticized for painting model Lara Stone in black face for the October issue.  Personally, I don’t find either of these displays of black face offensive considering they are not mocking biracial and African American people in a negative way.  Also if I recall correctly this is not the first time Tyra has done this on the show, but I could be wrong.

Tyra Banks and New BFF Clay Aiken

'We Just Clicked'Clay was delighted to help, given he's such good friends with Tyra Banks, 35. "I love her to death," he says. "For some reason we just clicked when we first met, and we try to stay in touch and see each other whenever we're in town." Of the supermodel mogul, Aiken says: "She's such a real person, and I think that's something people didn't know about her until her talk show. She doesn't try to be something she's not. She'll be as nerdy as she needs to be, or whatever she needs to be. I think that's why people are attracted to her, and I think that's why we became friends."

America's Next Top Model: Surprise for Next Season

America's Next Top Model (ANTM) has a new twist for next season: a transgendered model will be a contestant.

Isis, a 22-year old, describes herself as "a woman born physically male."

According to Zap2It.com:

Isis, who shares a name with the ancient Egyptian goddess, doesn't necessarily see herself as a role model for transgender people though.

"I like to help people, but I'm here to follow my dreams," she says.

Hailing from Prince George's County, Maryland, the former receptionist currently lives in New York City and works as a program assistant at a non-profit organization.

ANTM returns to the CW on Septemer 3, 2008 for a 2-hour season premiere.
