Is Tyra Banks Your Woman Of The Year?

Despite the fact that she headlines a questionable, self-indulgent talk show and a questionable, self-indulgent (but ultimately addictive) modeling competition, Tyra Banks has been named OK! magazine's woman of the year. And as much as I would like to shake some of ridiculousness out of this woman most of the time, you can't really deny that she does big things.

Of course, she discusses her controversial curvaceousness in the OK! story.

“I love my curves," Tyra tells OK!. "I’ve made millions of dollars with this body.”

And Tyra says that the media is responsible for the body-image issues facing women today. "An average American woman is size 12 or 14," she explains to OK!. "So if I look like a 10 or 12 in a picture and someone says I look disgusting, are they saying the majority of America is disgusting? That made me really upset, and that’s why I decided to fight back."

It sounds like she gave this interview before Janice Dickinson went on her "Tyra is fat, but not in a bad way" tour.

I'd pick Elmo as woman of the year before I'd choose Tyra.
