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.

Yes, Tyra Banks was the recipient of an Emmy for Outstanding Talk Show (Informative). To help that little nugget go down, consider this: She was up against Dr. Phil and A Place of Our Own. So, really, it’s hard not to win the Emmy in that category. But let’s be honest: Anyone who tears a loose thread off a fake Chinatown handbag to floss her teeth and guzzles a bottle of olive oil in front of a live audience is deserving of all the praise in the world. After the jump, one of the groundbreaking moments in daytime television history that won that gold statue for Ty Ty. (And to watch her acceptance speech, click here.) CONTINUED »
Apparently it’s Joel McHale Day here at Mollygood, and we’re OK with that because he trumps the Hogans/Spears/Lohans any day. Joel, who says he sometimes feels like he’s “doing the Lord’s work,” gave an awesome interview with The A.V. Club where he provided many, many gems, chief among them this: “On Flavor Of Love, when a woman took a dump on the stairs, I mean, that’s like J.R. being shot on Dallas, or like maybe the last episode of M*A*S*H. It’s a milestone on television that’s covered with chlamydia.”
Seriously, he’s our favorite celebrity ever. Click through for lots more. CONTINUED »
The New York Times Magazine can’t be serious. There’s no way. Why on earth would the mag put Tyra Banks on the same cover as the words “Oprah” and “Martha“? Unless the staff is referring to the ladies’ obvious similarities. Remember that time Martha went undercover as a homeless woman for a few hours to discover the injustices of America? And remember when Oprah took off her jeans on national television? Or how about when Martha ripped a loose thread off a fake Chinatown handbag and proceeded to floss her teeth with it? So many groundbreaking moments of television, so little time …
America’s Next Top Model winner Whitney Thompson truly won the greatest prize of all: She was shot by noted fashion photographer Nigel Barker for a spread in Seventeen magazine. Whitney claims she’s a size 14, but she looks significantly smaller in these pictures — either she’s a liar or Nigel is just that good.
POT, KETTLE, ETC “Janice Dickinson … recently ‘flipped out‘ when she saw a paparazzi photo of [Tyra] Banks in a magazine carrying a copy of Dickinson’s book, ‘No Lifeguard on Duty,’ in which she writes about sex, drug use, incest, celebrity affairs and her near-fatal car wreck some years back. Dickinson showed [Page Six] the torn-out magazine photo with a caption saying Banks was on her way to speak with young girls and offer her advice. ‘And she’s using my book,’ Dickinson fumed. ‘I mean, the thing looks so worn it’s like she’s been reading it on the toilet. It’s pathetic. Where’s her originality? Does she have no shame?’”
CariDee English, the seventh season winner of America’s Next Top Model, first exercised her bad judgment when auditioning for the Tyra Banks-created reality show. Then she admitted to dating a guy who stole $10,000 of her money to spend in Vegas (we never knew she and Kevin Federline were an item).
But the latest bit of idiocy came last night when CariDee announced that she is currently dating fellow model (and ginormous tool) Tyson Beckford. Um, Cari? Perhaps you should get back with that K-Fed-esque guy.

Every week, a bunch of “real” people say really stupid things on reality TV. These are their stories.
10. “Don’t be a vulture, learn your culture.” — Flavor Flav, Flavor of Love 3
Tyra Banks and some of her top models attempted to show off how to smile with your eyes at the CW Network 2008 Upfronts last night in NYC. It’s safe to say Tyra is still the only one who has mastered that concept, but we applaud Anya (second from right) for making a solid attempt. The rest seem to have just given up hope.

When you picture Mother’s Day, you likely imagine flowers and brunch and happy moments with Mom — but thank goodness for Hollywood, which serves as a reminder that this special holiday isn’t always picture perfect.

On yesterday’s episode of The Tyra Banks Show — titled “How Freaky Are We?” — some crazy guy asked a slew of audience members to stand on him. This went on for a good five minutes before Tyra moved on to other important subjects, such as a woman who wears diapers, pees in them and then has her boyfriend change her.
Just a reminder: This show is nominated for an Emmy.
Tyra’s face says it all: Shock! Dismay! Why is this show — this woman! – still on the air week after numbing week? WHY!!!!!!
To each their own, we suppose.
Last night the fake model asked to go back to from whence she came was the one who “looks like a fucking dude,” according to my roommate.

Heidi Montag continues to inspire pure hatred in my soul, and this time she’s doing it on the worst daytime talk show in the history of television: The Tyra Banks Show. She and Spencer Pratt are still talking about the Lauren Conrad sex tape rumor — which is interesting, seeing as how she constantly insists that she’s the bigger person and she’s “praying” for LC. Also: She continues to rewrite history by claiming Lauren gave her an ultimatum simply because she didn’t like Spencer. Um, Heidi? The reason she’s not your friend is because of what you went on this show to talk about in the first place. I can’t decide if she really believes what she spews out of that horse mouth of hers or if this is all part of her genius plan to drive me to insanity.
After the jump: Video of the entire Speidi-Tyra experience. Enter at your own risk. CONTINUED »
Two months too late, Heidi Montag is shedding some fake tears to pimp out her stepbrother’s accidental death to Access Hollywood. Someone get this girl an Oscar. She continuously makes it all about her, mentioning that, during her last conversation with him, he said she made him proud. Oh, and she’s realized there is more to life than feuding with Lauren Conrad — which totally explains why she will appear on The Tyra Banks Show today to keep on spreading that sex tape rumor.
After the jump: The tears, how they flow.
In what will truly be the worst hour in the history of television, Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag are set to appear on Tuesday’s episode of The Tyra Banks Show. And, because they don’t know how to discuss anything else, the topic of conversation is Lauren Conrad.
Spencer offers to take a lie detector test and claims he is “1,000 percent” positive that a sex tape featuring Lauren and ex-boyfriend Jason Wahler exists. Did we suddenly travel back in time to one year ago? Who cares? Of course, neither Spencer nor Heidi has actually seen the tape, because Spencer claims he “would rather throw up.” Oh, please. You know Speidi would be watching that on repeat if, in fact, it did exist. Those two are so obsessed with her it’s pathetic.
Heidi agrees, saying the tape was not a rumor: “From what I have heard from confirmed sources … her ex-boyfriend was going around trying to sell it. … I am not sure she has it anymore, but from what I’ve heard … I am not really allowed to elaborate.” And she wonders why Lauren refuses to give her the time of day.

A Seattle woman was stabbed Wednesday night for talking too loudly during America’s Next Top Model. Yes, you read that correctly.
The victim, 42, was reportedly talking too much throughout the episode, and one of the other viewers became so angry — because what Tyra Banks has to say is deep, people — that she stabbed the woman in the chest. Police arrived to find the victim lying on a couch with blood everywhere and clumps of hair missing. The suspect is still at large.
Hey, Seattle PD: Just check Tyra’s weave.
