Hottie of the Week: Tyra Banks
There’s something about Tyra that’s just so loveable, isn’t there? The talk-show host and head judge on America’s Next Top Model is undeniably a goofball. She’s unbelievably awkward. And none of that seems to matter. She turned the modeling industry on its ear when she debuted on the catwalks of Paris, and then turned Will Smith on his ear with her role on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. In the years since, she’s managed to parlay her charm and skills into making herself a ubiquitous media presence, and with Top Model, she sparked the fire that gave us a legion of imitators. Sure, there were some mistakes along the way — we remember her ill-fated singing career vividly, and we still haven’t been able get Halloween: Resurrection
out of our heads — but the good has outweighed the bad. (Sidebar: One of our favorite moments of the year came from The Tyra Banks Show, wherein our intrepid host took Nicole Richie shopping — first at Kitson, which is where Nicole shops, then to the 99-cent Store, which Tyra is presumably more familiar with. That, folks, was amazing TV.) As Top Model’s current season winds down, we thought it only fitting to feature her. After all, how many beautiful funny ladies can you name?
