Tyra Banks To Rule Magazine Biz, World
Only one of us can be America’s Next Top Media Mogul, and Tyra Banks is determined to win that title. The model-turned-dream-crusher-turned-Oprah-wannabe has begun working on her latest TV venture, a reality competition about the magazine business, of which she knows nothing about. Sure she’s been in a billion magazines, but you know, I’ve been in a lot of skyscrapers, yet you don’t see me trying to build one. “It is a competition show about aspiring assistants looking to become assistant editors at a fashion magazine,” says Tyra BFF/executive producer Ken Mok. “At the same time they’re trying to prove themselves as aspiring fashionistas, that they have a sense of style and savvy - all the things to make it in the fashion world.”
Hurray! More skinny girls crying and fighting over who ate whose food. Riveting, surely. Next thing we know Tyra will go from making a show about the biz, to naming a magazine after herself. There’s no stopping the genius (or the ego) of Tyra Banks. [Reuters]

I think its great to see Trya living and doing what so many of us wish we could do and thats take our experience and turn it into something new. I understand that se will be producing the show alongside those who help coordinate “Project Runway” so I’m certain that this will be sucessful. Of all the celebrities you read about she to me is one of the most genuine and resilent of them all….I will look forward to this show anything else she has her hands on!!!
