Tyra is Fiercee

by
Mollie Mullett

Tyra Banks makes me tired. A full weekend for me is when I watch a movie and do a load of laundry but Tyra Banks, our favorite supermodel, turned talent scout/reality show star turned talk show host apparently wasn't busy enough this past Friday so she decided to create her own award show to honor past America's Top Model contestants in the first annual "Fiercee Awards" (yes two Es) which will air on an upcoming episode of The Tyra Banks Show.

Tyra Banks is not only the most successful entrepreneur in the world but she's also a MACHINE!

Tyra's endless efforts to give young women self-esteem exhausts me. Ironically, Tyra makes me feel bad about myself since I can't even move my car on street sweeping day to avoid a parking ticket let alone invent my own award show.

Here are some past ANTM contestants all dressed up for the big event:

Bianca Golden

Camille McDonald

Caridee English

Jade Cole

Saleisha

Also, whatever happened to Tyra's singing and music video career? Below is her 2003 music video "Shake Ya Body" (brilliant and classy title), in which she showcases the models from Cycle 2.


Wait I just realized it's not "Season 2" it's "Cycle 2"! Yes, Tyra, we all women and we all cycle. Women unite!

Hey Tyra, since you squeeze everything else in, I'm having a dinner party tomorrow night. Can you make an antipasto and pick my mother up at the airport? See you at 8pm!

    Lordie, are you sure those photos are not from America's Next Top Skeleton?

    Or are they extras on CSI or Bones?

    The only one that has a semblance of flesh is Caridi English.  Give me a woman with a little meat on her.  If this is the ideal that we are teaching the young women about, then shame shame shame!

    You are not Fiercee.

    Also, Christian Soriano called. He wants his hairstyle back.

    What is up with the haters on this thread? !

    MJ, you must be legally blind at best. Bianca is far from ugly! Although, I have to aggree with the Jade comment. Her hair was way better when she kept it naturally kinky.

    just wanted to fix a small typo. Although the title "Shake Ya Booty" is a "brilliant and classy title"....the name of her song is "Shake ya Body"...not "booty".  But Tyra does manage to shake her "booty" through out the song anyway. haha

    I think Caridee is the best looking one there, she apparently learned a few tips or two. Unlike Jade, omg.. she looks psycho and terrible. A little drag queen ish. Never did like her though.

    I absolutely loved Caridee on Cycle 7! She was always herself and the other girls in the house were so jealous. Plus, she's hot, which is always a plus.

    Old cycles of ANTM are my guilty pleasure. I will watch them all day if a marathon comes on.

    I love Caridee, I'm so happy she's still looking like a human being (a very hot and tall one, but still a human being).

    Is anyone else grossed out that she licked the microphone?

    I immediately forgot anything I was thinking about that music video when I saw that.

    That just seems tacky.

    Oh man, she was great.  Such a nutter, but so tremendously entertaining.

    Bianca looks horribly thin ... her bad posture doesn't help either.

    tyra is awesome about finding things to sell herself. must feed the tyra ego! i love antm because it's so absurd. she tells a contestant to change one week then wonders where their personality went the next. brilliant! :)

    wow, jade has totally turned into a drag queen now. love crazy, "stick-up-your-ass" caridee.

    Now I LOVE me some Tyra Banks, but did you mean to call her "the most successful entrepreneur in the world."  That's ridiculous. She's a lot of really amazing things, but I'm not even sure I'd call her an entrepreneur. That seems like an ignorant statement when you consider how many multi-billionaires there are in the world who devote their lives to business (ever heard of Bill Gates?)...not SHOW business. Not to be a hater or anything...

    Kim Stolz covered the event for MTV News, here's what she was wearing:

     


     

    There's an amusing video of her interviewing a surprised Tyra on the red carpet.

    My favorite picture from the Fiercee Awards, however, might be Tocarra Jones from Cycle 3. I'd post the picture, but I'm not sure her cleavage doesn't qualify as NWS.
