Tyra Banks likes herself. Like really, really, really likes herself. I once saw an episode of “The Tyra Show” where she was interviewing a 12-year-old girl. “I heard you were really excited to be here. Can you tell everyone why?” The girl just sat there, a little shy. “I heard you were my number one fan,” continued Tyra, putting all kinds of self-congratulatory words in the girl’s mouth. If you haven’t noticed, this is a big theme on both “America’s Next Top Model” and Tyra’s talk show. From incessantly demonstrating how to smile with her eyes to revealing the utter mundanity of her life, Tyra never misses an opportunity to make things all about her. Sure the purported missions of her shows are to “help people,” but if you look closely, everything Tyra does is a platform for her favorite subject … herself. So, in honor of the premiere of “America’s Next Top Model” tonight, here’s a look at her 10 most cringe-worthy, egomaniacal moments, starting with a clip from the last “America’s Next Top Model” premiere. I’m not even making this quote up: “I am the Goddess of Fierce,” says Tyra, surrounded by an entourage of faux Roman soldiers. “I have been the Goddess of Fierce for 2,752.7 years and and I am tired. So I am looking for my successor.”

I think you’re being a bit harsh here Ami. I mean, of course she has an ego, she’s a celebrity! I’m pretty sure it’s somewhat difficult to get that famous by being modest.

I think you guys are being haters…..I think she is doing a wonderful job. Also whats wrong with being confident?? and its a show….I seriously doubt that she thinks she’s literally the goddess of fierce…she is simply saying to be a model no matter your body type, face shape, weight and what have you…you gotta be fierce and it has to translate on camera. Thats it. Dont know her personally but I’d say that she is prolly saying she is an expert at being fierce or potraying fierceness. get over yourself and let the woman be.

What is the difference between ‘fierce’ and a ‘bitch’?

LOL CheeeeEEEEse, they’re synonymous. Ami THANK YOU, because I feel the same way. I feel like everything she does is fake and isn’t genuine…just another way to insert “her story” or something having to DO with her, in. It’s sick. Although I always watch Top Model…can’t stop.

agreed…thank you Ami. Everytime one of the girls on ANTM cries to her about some problem she literally answers with “Well, when i was a young model working in paris..”
EVERY TIME
SHUT UP BITCH

I don’t know which is worse: all of Tyra’s antics or the fact that I’ve seen nine out of 10 of these?

Tyra’s a little self-centered, but there are much worse role models and much more annoying celebrities out there.

She’s so annoying. I don’t understand what that hair stunt was supposed to prove. It’s not even like she revealed what its natural texture was. We still don’t know what it really looks like.
