Have to hand it to Tyra Banks, she knows how to grab a headline. The America's Next Top Model host, former supermodel and daytime talker appears in Harper's Bazaar as possible First Lady, Michelle Obama. The photoshoot includes at least six photos of Tyra in various First Ladyesque poses.
Leave it to Tyra to land yet another prize on the path towards building her Darth Oprah Empire. That's right folks, Madame Tussauds' has bestowed a life size wax Barbie doll replica of the talk and contestant show host on the aspiring Oprah clone.
This statuette appears to be a much better likeness of Tyra than the one of Susan Lucci.

New York Times Magazine has basically annointed supermodel-turned-supermogul Tyra Banks as the heiress apparent to Oprah Winfrey and Martha Stewart. And while I don't know if Tyra has the crossover appeal to become as big of a branding giant as Martha or The Mighty O, I definitely give her major props for channeling her modeling career into a thriving future as a television host/producer (The Tyra Banks Show, America's Next Top Model).
Next season Banks will bring a reality competition that pits aspiring glamour professionals against one another called Stylistas to The CW (Check back Monday for an exclusive interview with Andrew from SOAPnet's The Fashionista Diaries where he discusses the similarities between the two shows). So what do you think, is Tyra the next Oprah or Martha?
Page Six is reporting that kitchen queen Rachael Ray's syndicated talk show isn't likely to be renewed once the show's contract is up in 2010. According to Page Six, Rachael Ray averaged 2.2 in the Nielsens during the 2007 TV season. That's down .3 points from the show's premiere at 2.5 which resulted in the show being heralded "the biggest syndicated debut since Dr. Phil". The show also reached a series low 2.0 this season. Ray insiders are crying foul, pointing out that fellow daytime talkers Live With Regis and Kelly, The Tyra Banks Show, The Martha Stewart Show and even the Mighty Oprah herself were experienced similar ratings dips-of about 15 percent.
