Tyra Banks has finally fulfilled her wish of making Barack Obama's run for the presidency all about her. In the September issue of Harper's Bazaar, TyTy poses as America's First Lady (God help us if that ever becomes a reality) and discusses how Barack's progress affected her.
When Barack won the nomination, I just started bawling. I started calling all these people, and everybody was talking to me like I was crazy. They’re like, ‘Well, he hasn’t won yet,’ but I’m like, ‘Yes, he has, because he’s gotten this far.'
And, because Tyra's the authority on all things presidential, she offered up her inane advice to Michelle Obama (to which Michelle is hopefully like, "No thanks").
I want [Michelle Obama] to not take herself too seriously. She’d need to know how to take a fierce picture, but at the same time be able to eat fried chicken, have grease on her fingers, and be okay with getting photographed like that, too.
Is your town big enough to get basic cable but small enough to alienate all the funny, flamboyant gays who would have made great friends had they not left for the coasts years ago? Well today's your lucky day, hayseed:
In a rare move for a cable network, Lifetime is looking to launch a daytime talk show, handing out a pilot order for a talker hosted by Carson Kressley.
It is part of an effort by the female-centered cable net to add original programming during the day, when it currently airs mostly off-net sitcoms.
Let's hope this one doesn't go the way of the ill-fated Christopher Lowell show.
You know you've made it when Madame Tussauds creates a wax figurine in your liking, which is just what happened to our humble, lovely Tyra Banks yesterday in DC. It's not often that you see a statue made of wax that can smile through the eyes, but the crew at Madame Tussauds knows its stuff.

Christian Siriano appeared on last night's Ugly Betty to save us from Nina Garcia's terrible acting and subject us to the words "fierce" and "hot tranny mess" one more time. Oh Ferocia, how we've missed you. CONTINUED »

Uber-gay Project Runway winner Christian Siriano sat down with Craig Ferguson yesterday. And, while we can’t say for sure, we’d like to think that our pleas helped fuel his disavowal of “fierce,” which threatened to undo our nation.
Not one to be without a catch phrase — or, rather, word — Siriano announced to the world that he’ll now use the word “expired,” as in “fierce is expired.”
Do you have $30 to waste? Here's the perfect opportunity to spend it: A "No Bitchassness" shirt by Diddy. The word, created by Puff himself, is likely his greatest accomplishment — hence the immediate release of these T-shirts that surely nobody will wear in public.
The origin of "bitchassness" after the jump. CONTINUED »
Access Hollywood is giddy to announce they’ve got Project Runway winner Christian Siriano on blast to cover Nickelodeon’s 2008 Kids’ Choice Awards. He’ll be on the red orange carpet handing out Fierce Fashion Awards and says, “I think it’s fabulous that I’ll be on the red carpet checking to see if anyone is a hot tranny mess. Watch out - you know I’ll be fierce with my comments.”
Amy Poehler's genius impression of Christian Siriano on this weekend's Saturday Night Live caught the attention of the Project Runway winner, also known as Ferocia Coutoura:
I thought it was SO FUNNY. Amy [Poehler] looked exactly like me which is kinda scary, but fabulous. The fact that they are even talking about me is so fierce, fabulous and flawless and is such an honor. [Poehler] was hilarious and little. It was so crazy that she looked just like me! The hair was absolutely perfect. I don’t think I could have done it better myself. It was fierce!
… Ferocia needs a new vocab. Stat.
Bravo released extra footage of Project Runway — just in time for tonight's finale — and this clip of Christian Siriano and Tim Gunn having a walk-off makes our heart smile.
