Ty-rah.


When a friend told me Tyra Banks was going to be on Oprah tomorrow, my head exploded. Which might also happen to Tyra when she shares the spotlight with the woman she. would. like. to. be. It also might have the same effect on Oprah: who knows how she'll react when faced with a drag queen impersonator of herself?!

Watching this might get a little confusing for the viewers at home: which one is Oprah? Tyra's been working on her Oprah impression for the past couple of years and has the strange. halting. way. of. speaking. and the ability to take a topic, any topic, and make it all about her, down pat.

Evidently, Tyty Baby is going on to talk about some sort of "personal" experience with the subject of dating violence. This better not mean that Tyra donned a bruise suit for one day and now thinks she knows what the hell she's talking about when it comes to domestic abuse. She's already trivialized the trials of the overweight and homeless with her previous "undercover" let's-don-a-fat-suit or pretend-to-be-homeless FOR A DAY endeavors: please, spare us this and concentrate on doing what you do best, Tyra: humiliating model wannabes on national TV.
