Reality Roll Call’s WTF of the Day: Tyra Interviews a Woman With Two Vaginas

Last week Tyra Banks interviewed a woman with two vaginas on her self-titled talk show.

My favorite part of this clip, aside from Ty-Ty’s melodramatic introduction, is when Tyra says, “It’s already tough enough having one vagina, and you have two.” What is going on with Tyra’s body that she has been struggling with having a vagina?

FYI: The plural of vagina is actually vaginae. I didn’t write because who in the world says it in normal conversation?

(thanks to Mediaite for the clip)

Man charged with stalking Tyra has his day in court

Filed under America's Next Top Model, Reality TV

Comments Off

The man accused of stalking America’s Next Top Model host Tyra Banks last year will go on trial today in New York City.

Brady Green of Dublin, GA  spent much of his spare time last winter phoning Tyra’s studio, sending her letters, flowers and following her from coast to coast. On March 18, 2008 he was arrested in Manhattan for showing up at the studio where her daytime talk show, The Tyra Banks Show is taped. 

The 36 year old Green has entered a plea of not guilty of stalking and harassment. He was just working his crazy-creep mojo that drives the ladies wild.

If convicted he could face 90 days in prison.

Pretty Wicked gives divas a does of reality on Oxygen

Do you use your looks to get ahead, get out of a traffic ticket, get a job, land a boyfriend or cut through the line at a trendy club? Ten divas from Oxygen’s newest competition reality series ‘Pretty Wicked‘ answer yes to all of the above. Pretty Wicked puts looks aside and has these prima donnas compete to see who is the most beautiful on the inside for a grand prize of $50,000.

Upon their arrival in the house, the rules of the game change when they find out that in THIS competition their looks are meaningless. During the eight one-hour episodes, the girls are challenged to confront their mean spirited ways in a series of challenges designed to “beautify” their insides to match their outside. These rude ladies are in for a rude awakening when they find themselves in situations they would never have imagined from being ‘made under’ so they appear years older to making that perfect first impression on a bunch of hot guys who could care less about physical beauty because they are blind!

The twists and turns in this social experiment continue while the girls find themselves without the everyday luxuries they are accustomed to mirrors, cell phones and, most importantly, privacy. Over their time together, emotions flare and tempers soar when these mean girls must tap their inner beauty to win their way to the top. The ‘pretty’ girl who shows the greatest transformation by series’ end wins the grand prize.

CariDee English, winner of the seventh season of Americas Next Top Model, serves as host alongside three celebrity judges plus-sized model and published author Mia Tyler, Beverly Hills psychotherapist and radio talk show host Dr. Jenn Berman and comedian/author Kyle Cease (Not Another Teen Movie). Together, the judges are tasked with eliminating one of the ladies, based on the weekly challenges and the transformation witnessed that week.

“‘Pretty Wicked’ truly is the ultimate inner-makeover competition show,” said Amy Introcaso-Davis. ” Viewers will see these spirited, independent women transform into more self-aware and ultimately, nicer girls.”

Pretty Wicked premieres Tuesday, March 31 at 10 pm ET/PT.

McKey Wins ANTM

November 20, 2008 by Lakiya Emerson  
Filed under America's Next Top Model

McKey has taken the top slot in Cycle 11 of America’s Next Top Model. Though her celebration was certainly not as memorable as Danielle’s when she won cycle 6, McKey did still manage the Olympian feat of picking Tyra up.  Tyra did her best to make it look fierce. McKey beat out Analeigh and Samantha, neither of whom were able to convey the complete high fashion and commercial package as well as the winner. Where McKey managed to look high fashion in person and on paper, Analeigh was always too sweet looking for high fashion (though she had a fabulous body) and Samantha looked too commercial in person(though she managed to look high fashion on paper).

Their first challenge when the show opened was to do a Covergirl commercial for some new lipgloss.  They had to memorize their lines and at the end, kiss a guy. McKey managed to give the best of a series of mediocre to bad performances. Analiegh’s nerves got the best of her. Where in the last Covergirl commercial challenge, she was easy and breezy, in the final episode she forgot all her lines and Mr. Jay had to feed them to her. Samantha was stiff, and almost looked like a Cindy Mccainbot. It wasn’t pretty. They had to give their best commerial headshot in the Covergirl photoshoot that folllowed. The photographer said Analiegh had a great body, but a not so great face. Mind you, Analeigh is gorgeous, and if she is considered unphotogenic, well. I’ll never take another picture of myself again. Tyra told Samantha that her smile was not modelesque. I guess that meant she doesn’t do commecial well. Everyone loved McKey’s very sweet gamine-like shot and Analiegh was sent home while McKey and Samantha prepared for a walk-off.

Before the fashion show that would determine their fate, the two girls did a photoshoot with Seventeen magazine where the director said this cycle’s winner would be a hard decision to make. Indeed as the girls posed away, and later when they walked the longest runway in ANTM history during the fashion show, it was not clear who would win. Mr. Jay outdid himself in creating this cycle’s confectionary pink runway, which he called his Willie Wonka design. With hills, and steps and winding ways, it reminded me of something out of The Cat In the Hat.

The first hill was so high that the models had to run up it to get to the top. it was interesting to watch. During their turns on the runway, McKey was all cool girl attitude while Samantha was all glamourous grace. It was a battle between dark and light, and in the panel as the judges reviewed the two models’ bodies of work, you could all see them trying to figure out who was better. Based off photos alone it was a tough sell, and for some reason I imagined them doing Paper, Rock, Scissors to determine the winner. But in the end, Samantha, who apparently took a lot of imaginiation to sell in person lost out to McKey’s immediate shining qualities.

Onward to cycle 12.
