Tyson Beckford: All These Celebrities Need To Fall Back
Posted by Media Outrage on March 19, 2009
Tyson Beckford is not feeling all of these celebrities infringing on his territory. He says celebrities need to fall back and leave the modeling to actual models.
Via ContactMusic:
Male supermodel TYSON BECKFORD has slammed the media for using celebrities in high fashion campaigns instead of models – insisting actors aren’t beautiful enough to naturally look good in glossy print.
The Make Me A Supermodel host isn’t impressed with the current trend for movie and TV stars to land advertising deals or grace the covers of glossy magazines.
But the hunk believes the fashion industry will come full circle – when they get sick of retouching the images of less-than-perfect stars.
He says, “You have to do a lot of tweaking and airbrushing to get the same from a celebrity that you would get from a model. A lot of celebrities – I’m gonna tell you right now – they’re not 5′11″; they’re not a size two to fit into these designer dresses, but the designers want exposure so they’re willing to make the specific dress for that actor or actress to get them to look good on the cover.”
“It’ll all come back around. One day some designer will wake up and say, ‘You know what? I don’t want to use Gwyneth Paltrow. I want to use Adriana Lima, I want to use Gisele (Bundchen), I want to go back to the high fashion.’ I think slowly but surely you’ll see that start happening.”
Mediaoutrage- The entertainment industry is so interchangeable. Rappers turn into actors and vice versa. Perfect example of B*tchassness.

I like Tyson’s body! I agree, cause there’s a lot of photoshopped photos out there lately. Tyson is definitely an eye candy, more like a Hershey bar! He can get!

Ya’ll know that Tyson doesn’t want his paycheck lessened by using… a regular-looking person needing to be airbrushed.
His ass is so damn vain!!!!

I watch his show and I actually like it better than Tyra’s show!

His lopsided eyes could use some airbrushing to me…but I guess that’s not what people look at when they see him so it may not matter. He’s right about the height thing- I’m sick of the 5′ models, there’s no glamour to that.
On a different issue- does anyone else feel like he got thrown under the bus on Candy Girls? Every episode the white chick has to remind us that Tyson Beckford is her baby daddy. That’s her biggest claim to fame- sucks for him.

What? If the mag r choosing actresses & not Adriana should Adriana be complaning not Tyson?
Also, IM GLAD that we’re seeing ppl under 5′6 and not just a size 2. The whole world aint taller than 5′6” and all size 2.

@#4 sweet Tea:
part1:
What is wrong a a 5′ model? I like variety. The whole world aint all size 2 and tall like an East Afrikan. In fact, isnt the average WW size of a lady size 8?
part 2:
The only thing I watch on that cappy channel E is “Joel McHale Soup” & “Chelsea Lately”. So that is what candy girls is about? Talking about what rich man u had a baby by so u could get a big child support check?

@MO: WTF is “B*tchassness”?
If a company wants a rapper 2 be their endorser or an actor wants 2 rap, let them. Its theor $ wasted.

@ Lilkunta- Bitchassness is a term coined by Diddy for when someone is acting real petty or in street terms like a real beyotch.

@MO: O ok. I do memba seeing Puffy in that shirt & heard he was selling them. Puffy does little relevant stuff so I dont pay him attn. Bad Boy truly did dies with Biggie. Faith left. What happened to 112? to Total? We know Shyne is in jail. Mase in Rev Mase & daddy 2 twins in Atl. I neve felt day26 nor danity were serious anyways. such a shame. Memba the shiny suit ere?

As far as the word, I think its stupid. Y not just call it what it is: petty, childish, immature. ‘bitch” means:
