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.”

Steven Tyler Quits Aerosmith

November 9, 2009 By Holly Stafford 2 Comments

There have been multiple rumors recently suggesting that Aerosmith’s frontman Steven Tyler had left the band. And according to guitarist Joe Perry, he is saying something along the same lines, confirming that Tyler is unlikely to perform with the band again.

Per People:

“Steven quit as far as I can tell. I don’t know any more than you do about it,” Perry told the Las Vegas Sun, adding that the singer “has had no contact with me or the other band members”.

Perry’s comments follow those of bandmate Brad Whitford, who last week said that Aerosmith were going to hold ‘crisis talks’ about their future as a band after their relationship with Tyler became strained. Reports say that Tyler told “Classic Rock” magazine, that his next project was unclear, but it would definitely be something “working on the brand myself, Steven Tyler.” Not quite sure what thats supposed to mean, but if Tyler’s appearance in the movie “Be Cool” is anything to go by it will be the very worst thing ever created by a human being in all of mankinds history… Perry claims that Tyler has been cold towards him and he hasn’t heard from him in months, explaining that Tyler has been avoiding the bands phone calls, but they have “learned to live with it.”

“Obviously, he hasn’t been giving 100 percent for a long time,” Perry said. “Frankly, the last few months I’ve been wanting not to rock the boat. I don’t want him cancelling any more gigs. We really wanted to do these last four. We didn’t want to call him out or get him pissed off, for whatever reason. So we just let things lie. I still care for him as a person, or at least the person I used to know,” he said. “But things change. We’ll probably find somebody else, and then we’ll be able to move Aerosmith up a notch.”

But that won’t really be Aerosmith, will it? Sure, it might sound like Sweet Emotion when the new line-up plays it, but if it’s not being wailed out by an old man who looks like a Janice Dickinson mannequin that’s been stitched together out of rejected doll parts and dances like a monkey jacked up on crown and coke, then it’s not going to fool anyone.

Paris Ditches Doug Reinhardt, Hooks Up with Cristiano Ronaldo

June 11, 2009 By Holly Stafford 2 Comments

Come on, who didn’t see this one coming a mile away? Serial dater Paris Hilton has called it quits with her flavor of the month, Doug Reinhardt, after the pair reportedly had a huge blow up at a club, leaving Paris running out to leave in tears.

Per People:

“In response to the inquiry on whether Paris Hilton has split up with Doug Reinhardt, yes, this is true they are no longer together. They remain friends and ask that you please respect their privacy,” a rep for Hilton says. “They remain friends and we ask that you please respect their privacy. Paris will not discuss the relationship further.”

This comes as quite a turn of events, as Paris and Doug were talking just 3 days ago about how much they were looking forward to their anniversary. As recently as April, Hilton also declared that she’d wed Reinhardt. Yeah honey, think its time to put that wedding gown back in the closet until the next guy shows up…. But wait! The next guy HAS shown up!! Not even 24 hours after Paris ended things with Doug, she’s already shacking up with a new man – Soccer star Cristian Ronaldo. Paris and sister Nicky Hilton hit up club MyHouse where Ronaldo was out having a good time with some friends, and proceeded to sit themselves down at their table. Didn’t take long for Hilton and Ronaldo to get comfortable around eachother, as its being reported that the duo couldn’t keep their hands off eachother!

Per X17:

“Cristiano and Paris were all over each other swapping spit the entire night! His table needed every waitress in the building to service the large quantities of alcohol, and he spent an excess of 20 thousand dollars on champagne and drinks.”

After the club, Ronaldo left with the Hilton sisters to head back to Nicky’s place and was caught on camera leaving around 5am. Its no secret Paris has had her eye on the soccer stud for quite some time now, attempting to work her Hilton-Charm on him last July. Apparently then, Ronaldo had no interest in the sex-tape star. Wonder how long this will last….Given the pairs dating history, I give it a week.
