The Tyra Banks Show celebrated the first all black model issue of Vogue Italia in NY today. Veteran model Beverly Johnson was on hand for the festivities. Selita Ebanks was looking bangin’ x 12. We definitely give Tyra props on continuing to make headway in the model industry for black women. Will Tyra ever reach Oprah status?

Tyra has the capabilities to reach Oprah’s status, maybe when Ms O decides to retire…

Ain’t happening. Thats a great goal for her but i cant see it happening. when oprah retires, her money will still be making money.

I dont know about all that Oprah satus stuff……..On the real, hell Naaaaawwwwwww. Not to down Tyra but Oprah is not only accepted but she has something that no other black person has ever had from white people and no other black will ever get from white folks………..And thats trust. She is the only black person to get their trust. She is the only person Black or white that would even dare to attack Wacko Jacko one on one, and she did it on camera. She straight trick f^c#ed Mike. He thought he was safe with her, and she blasted his pasty @$$. That was almost as bad as the “Just let me put the head in trick” Any body who falls for that is getting F^c#ed.
What’s Sad Is, a woman got me with that same ish before. I was playing hard to get and she said “come on Baby, just put the head in” I did it like a dummy and ended up being a victim of date rape. I never reported her because I was embarrased and I knew it was my fault for putting us in that position. But with counseling I have been able to cope better. I no longer have to hear a woman say “come on Baby, just put the head in” for me to get there, if you know what I mean!!! Im normal now.

I doubt Tyra will ever reach Oprah status meaning the money (2.5billion), the power, or the influence (One of the most influential women in the world). Like Hollywood stans for Oprah. Their is no bigger celebrity than her and she’s banking way more than ever celebrity there is including Will Smith, Tom Cruise, Brad and Angelina, and im running out of names lol. So no don’t think she will reach that. She will make a lot of money but Oprah status doesn’t happen everyday. Radio, Movies, O Magazine, and Harpo she’s as MO put it a real “cash cow”.

LOL @ 2020VIZN! In response to your question MO. Hell no she will never reach Oprah’s status. Like Lai’Lani said Oprah has accomplished too much and as 2020VIZN said she has the respect and adoration of white people which in the business world is equivalent to graduating with a MBA from Harvard or Stanford.
She won’t amass the fortune (2.5 billion?) and her brand is not as strong. Oprah is stanned for by white people, black people, asian people, aliens lol and everyone else. When this woman says anything or shouts any brand out it’s an instantaneous hit, and that my people is real power!
I will say that Jay-Z possesses that same kind of power on a much lower scale being that he has influenced and started so many fashion trends along with the slang he introduces and he is sought out by white people.

lmao@2020. just put the head in huh? u fell for that? one time this guy tried to get me with just let me do 5 pumps and that’s it. i actually fell for it. and thats the story of my oldest daughter. lol
Udamnright said
Wow good morning everyone. Let me start off by saying my morning is already beginning on an hilarious note. Just seen a lady down in our company cafeteria go to the bathroom (pissed on herself) on herself infront of hundreds LOL. I feel bad for her because that’s the type of stuff that can embarrass a person to the point of committing suicide but since she was actually my former supervisor whom i detested (the Footlong even despised her) i wish i would have snapped a pic on my cell and sent it to you MO for yall to put up LMAO!!!.
Anyway to the question at hand. Tyra will NEVER EVER EVER not even under the one on one tutoring of investment guru Warren Buffet attain Oprah’s money, status, celebrity ranking, or overall respect from the masses. She’s doing her own thang and we should just let her do that because to compare her to Oprah isn’t fair and we all know it won’t happen, just as we know Kobe Bryant (as he proved against Boston) is no Michael Jordan and will never be as great as Mike is. Period!

lol at 1coolazzchic

I agree with everyone else on this post…Tyra has no chance of reaching Oprah’s status.

@ 1coolazzchic: Now I dont feel so bad. I felt like a dummy. But I know you are smart and now I dont feel so stupud.
But on the real, I thought about your situation I sort of went into a daze. Because any woman that has something so good that makes you catch a drain in 5 pumps is pure cryptonite. I almost got turned on. I think I might have a crush on you. =}
1coolazzchic said
nah 2020 no kryptonite. that was bad for superman. im like milk, does a body good. u know im a southern girl. we are made differently down here.
2020VIZN said
I know the south, born and raised in that bish. Im from the 305, and I love being from the south. I know how we roll baby. So I know how southern honeys roll. But I have love for all my sisters no matter the demographic. Sisters are untouchable as far as Im concerned. I ask “what could be better”
Smurfette said
@2020, I just had to tell you I was lmao at you saying you had couseling! OMG!

LOL
Sweetthang05 said
well, I can say one thing, Tyra sure got the lace front look on LOCK, even with the slicked down “baby hairs”
But for real, this is great to say all black models, skinny and plus sized taking over! get em!
DMaxx said
It’s nice to see models with a variety of sizes and shapes featured, from Chanel Iman to Toccara. Perhaps the Vogue Italia Black Issue will be a catalyst for increased diversity on the fashion runway. Fashion models of color video clips
