Boobs, Glorious Boobs

tyrashow9-20-05.jpgBy now, everybody knows that I have a certain affliction for Tyra Banks. This affliction is not so encompassing that I have no control of my mental faculties, and I have therefore not spent any time watching her new show. I think she has what it takes to do her type of show, and if Jenny Jones can last as long as she did, my girl still can do it as well. To tell you the truth, the only reason why I decided to review her daytime show was to remind everybody that Cycle 5 of America's Next Top Model starts tonight at 8PM Eastern on UPN. Don't miss it!

More on the Tyra Show after the jump.

Get the Bitch Or Die Trying?

tyra_vs_naomi

If somebody were to tell you that two supermodels were going to settle their differences on nationally syndicated television, wouldn't you make time to see it? Wouldn't you drop $19.95 for the pay-per-view? Wouldn't you bring the Jell-O, mud, or creamed corn if it would make things more exciting? Well, you don't have to do any of that because our girl Tyra is once again breaking new ground on her talk show. She has taken a live ultrasound of her boob and spent time in a fat suit in order to better understand the plight of the overweight and Eddie Murphy when he needs to buy a new house. For the next step, Tyra is taking on Naomi Campbell for the first time, and you don't even need to have a credit card.

If you are unfamiliar with the situation, Tyra and Naomi are not really the best of friends. In fact, Tyra says that dealing with Naomi Campbell is one of the reasons she has all but left that part of the world of modeling. When Tyra came on the scene, there was an unwritten rule that there can only be one black supermodel, and Naomi wouldn't let go. TVgasm has a similar unwritten rule, and as soon as we find that other half-black guy or girl, we aren't letting any more in. Anyway, Tyra is going to confront Naomi on the Tyra show today, Friday November 18th (check local listings). I meant to post this yesterday to give people some advance notice, but since TVgasm is so popular these days, I had a little trouble. Luckily for all of you who don't check TVgasm before you go to work, school, or day care, Oxygen replays the show several times, so make sure to set your Tivos or VCRs if you won't be able to catch it when it airs in your town.

Tyra's doing all of this because you girls hate on each other so much. She's been feuding for 14 years, but now it's all about sisterhood. And, really, aren't we all for sisterhood, especially when it doesn't involve traveling pants? That's what I thought.

UPDATE: Oh, it will be blogged. It BEGS to be blogged.

Hey! Sister Sister!

tyra11-18-05r

This past Friday, while America was still trying to cope with the awesome power of a prime time Mischa Barton nipple slip, there were some people who realized that there were more important things in the world, like making sure that two supermodels could put aside years of hostility towards each other in hopes that they, along with an entire nation, could get back to healing their wounds. It was enough to make you want to cry knowing how Naomi Campbell and Tyra Banks could take what they have learned over many years of fighting and use it in hopes of preventing other young women from having to face the same things themselves. It was an afternoon of old memories, new apologies, and the seven deadly sins of sisterhood.

BrokeBanks Mountain

tyrabrokeback2-13-06g

I have not yet seen Brokeback Mountain, although by this time, I'll probably wait for it to hit DVD. Still, that doesn't mean that I am not interested in the story, and so when I heard that the Tyra Show was going to bring us the story of Brokeback Mountain using real-life examples, I knew I had to tune in. The experience was very enlightening, and I wanted to share it with those few TVgasm readers who don't Tivo Tyra's show every day like I do.

Everybody Loves Heaton?

heaton_talkshow_2006I was never a big fan of the sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond. It's not that I didn't enjoy Ray Ramano's comedy, and whenever I caught a repeat on the air, I usually had a good laugh. What I did notice was how huge of a bitch Patricia Heaton's character became on the show. Every sitcom about a suburban everyman has to have a nagging wife that bothers him about playing golf and looking at the 20 year-old waitress at the diner, but that doesn't mean she has a right to be a harping banshee. It may not have been Patricia Heaton's fault that her character turned out that way, but I blamed her anyway, and when the show came off the air, I was happy because Patricia Heaton would leave the air with it.

Living in California, I still have to deal with Patricia Heaton in those stupid Albertson's commercials, but The Hollywood Reporter recently announced that Particia Heaton might get her own talk show to go along with a comedy pilot she has waiting for next season. This is all coming on the heels of Will and Grace star Megan Mullaly announcing her own talk show that will launch this fall. I have no clue what I did to deserve this, but I guess it is better than Live with Ryan Cabrera and Constantine Maroulis.

Newsgasm: Is That An Axe in Your Pocket Or Are You Just Happy to See Me?

smokey_days

One of the great things about blogging is that I get to watch lots of embarrassing television and get away with it by saying it's part of the job. This helps when you are trying to explain to people why you have a season pass of Days of Our Lives on the Tivo in your bedroom (don't worry Tyra, I didn't forge about you!). I love Days and although we don't have anybody recapping it (if you want to recap Days or any other show, I hear we are having a contest), I recently received a press release that I had to share. Smokey Robinson will be playing an axe murderer and taking Dr. Marlena Evans hostage! OK, that may not quite be the whole story, but read the details after the jump.
