It's been a mixed bag for Tyra Banks and her talk show this year. On the one hand, she got to interview the guy who will possibly be the next president of the United States, plus the two Democratic runners-up and, uh, Mike Huckabee.
On the other hand, she sexually assaulted Janet Jackson, got caught lying about her Oprah envy, filmed a show while driving around in a car, introduced us to vulva puppets, and humilated herself in front of Bow Wow, of all people. In this blogger's humble opinion, the ridiculous definitely outweighed the good. But then again, this blogger doesn't vote for the Daytime Emmy Awards. Yes, they gave Tyra Banks an Emmy for best "informative talk show." She went blond for the occasion and had this to say: "I want to thank Oprah Winfrey for her inspiration. She is the queen. She will always be the queen." Duh. She also said, in pure Tyra form, "When you have a dream, there are going to be so many people out there who tell you you cannot do it, that you are not good enough. And I want you to tell them to kiss your dimply, flat, juicy, bootylicious, skinny, jiggly, saggy, fat ass!" She's obsessed with her ass.
Other winners at the Sherri-Shepherd hosted ceremony: Ellen DeGeneres, Rachael Ray, General Hospital, and Regis Philbin, for lifetime achievement.

No comment.
Neicy and Eva the Diva looks fab.
Did Portia and Ellen get married already? Meh. Portia just seems like such a killjoy as of late.
She forgot cottage-cheesed (Thanks Paris!)
Yeah, Tyra, keep talking about of your ass about preaching Black Beauty while looking as white as possible with blonde hair.
Dumb hypocrite.
@DFP: that's no different than Beyonce and Mary J Blige. Well, Tyra at least openly talks about her weave and wigs.
I think there waOn one of those shows with self hating folk, there was a woman who wanted her butt and breast reduced plus rhinoplasty so she'd look less black. Tyra got all in her face about it (though the woman was a trip, I must add). How's that different? We all have rules for others with exceptions that we want. My only issue with Tyra's weave is that it looks bad.
Informative? whaaaat! The only thing I learned from Tyra is how to be embarrassed.
Tyra Banks makes very obvious effort to come off as white. Her look is very phony. Phony hair, phony teeth, and gobs and gobs of thick greasy make up. Just about anyone could glue themselves together and look like a maniquin if they so chose.
Tyra's teeth aren't fake.
She can't help being light skinned or having lights eyes. Althought, that tired blond wig needs to go, it does not compliment her beauty at all.
I second Daria, they are the same teeth from 92.
