Tyra Banks is quitting her talk show to make the move to films. She is saying good bye to her job as cellulite inspecting, baby daddy finding, weave instructing, colonic supporting, Vaseline loving host to run a new production company at the end of it’s 5th season.

Banks will focus on the launch of Bankable Studios, a N.Y.-based film production company currently reviewing possible projects. Sticking to her mission, Banks aims to bring “positive images of women to the big screen,” says an industry insider.

She is sad to leave her digs on the talk show circuit, but promises to keep the fierce-force flowing.

“This will be the last season of The Tyra Show, I’ve been loving having fun, coming into your living rooms, bedrooms, hair salons for the past 5 years. My next huge steps will allow me to reach more women and young girls to help us all feel as fierce as we truly are.”

Poor Joel McHale. My guess is that he is curled up in the fetal position crying at this news.

Quotables:

Dlisted – “The truth is, this is a sad day. What other show will bring us important events like the first ever televised colonic? My bowels depended on Tyra.”

Busy Bee Blogger – “I think girl just ran out of self centered stories. I’m sure that even if Mackenzie Phillips was on her show, Tyra Banks would make it all about her in some way.”

Lindsay Lohan Creates a Job for Herself

The economy is in the crapper and Lindsay Lohan has been living on fake tanner and Red Bull to survive the recession. Oh, alright, ho has been spending her scratch on strap-ons and blow. Either way, she doesn’t have a lot of work heading in her direction so she has taken matters into her own hands.

The straight to basic cable “Labor Pains” star has joined forces with her fashion label partner to create a production company. They have several tv show ideas cooked up which involve ripping off HBO’s “Entourage” and a dating game show.

Via Reuters:

“Lohan and Kristi Kaylor, who runs Lohan’s 6126 brand, named for Marilyn Monroe’s birthday, have created Unforgettable Prods. The duo are developing several projects, including a TV show called “Faux Real,” described as “Entourage” for the fashion world.

There’s also a game show involving dating, tentatively called “That’s What Friends Are For” and a “docu-cause” TV show the pair will produce in conjunction with a charitable organization.”

Sounds like a top notch idea. This walking vaginal vending machine is going to be running her idea for Grand Theft Auto meets the “Price is Right” to a bunch of laughing tv execs who are all betting on whether or not she has underwear on.
