Man, I cannot STAND Tyra Banks.  She makes me cringe.

Supermodel-turned-talk show host Tyra Banks is planning to adopt a child. The 34-year-old wants to follow in the footsteps of celebrities including Madonna, Sharon Stone, and Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt by opening her home to a child in need.

She says, “I’ve wanted to adopt since I was nine. I have a connection with children and they don’t have to come from my womb for me to have that connection.”

Talk-show host and former Victoria’s Secret model, Tyra Banks is saying that she never bashed Britney Spears. According to some gossip sites and reports, at a recent private party, Ms. Banks was overheard saying:

“Britney Spears should just go ahead and kill herself after the album and go out like Marilyn [Monroe], very grand. She should have done it after the last album.”

Of course, Tyra is saying that she would never say something like that and she issued the following statement:
“Britney Spears is a friend and we correspond with each other. These alleged statements attributed to me are completely false.”

It is harsh if she did say that!

The supermodel is said to be very “insecure” about her hair and refuses to spend the night with men because she doesn’t want to remove her long fake locks in bed.

A source said: “Tyra is a confident woman for the most part, but she is really insecure about her hair. She doesn’t want any guy to see her without her wigs or hair extensions.

“Tyra feels like guys are with her for her image that they see on TV and in magazines. If one wakes up without her glamorous hair, she’s worried he may not call back!”

Meanwhile, the 33-year-old star has confessed she doesn’t like wine - but orders it in public just to look sexy.

Tyra said: “Every now and then I’ll order some wine at the table. I’ll only take two sips, but I’ll keep holding the glass cause it makes me feel sexy, but I still don’t drink it because it still tastes kind of nasty to me.”

The chat show host believes she is lucky as her dislike for alcohol means she won’t end up in rehab like other stars.

She said: “I feel like I’ve been very lucky because I don’t really have an addictive personality. I’m not really an ‘alcohol girl’ and I’m definitely not a ‘drug girl’.”

I don’t like her…she bugs the crap out of me…

Former supermodel Tyra Banks credits her sudden popularity with younger men to her new curvy figure. The retired catwalk star and talk show host insists she’s been inundated with attention from younger men ever since she gained a more voluptuous figure.

The 33-year-old star of The Tyra Banks Show explains, “Twenty-three-year-old guys ask me out all the time. Some of them are even celebrities who come on to my show. One guy even went for my muffin top (midsection fat).

“I was like, ‘You’re 10 years younger than me. You need to date Hilary Duff. Don’t date me. I have a roll around my middle.”

However, she insists she is now less popular with men her age, adding, “I make a good living, so men my age get a little intimidated.”
