TV presenter Tyra Banks is launching a new competition and wants plus-sized teenagers to take part.

Banks, 36, said on a recent episode of The Tyra Show that she wants girls aged between 13 and 19 to take part.

The star also said to UsMagazine.com that she wants the teenagers to have a dress size of 12 to 20 and also be between 5′9 and 6′1 in height.

She said: “I want young girls to realize that what’s considered plus-sized is the average American woman.

“That woman is healthy, fit and beautiful. Adolescence is such an impressionable time in a young woman’s life, and I hope this contest helps teen girls discover their own beauty from the inside out.”

Supermodel Tyra Banks is ending her US talk show after five years.

The catwalk beauty has announced the next season of The Tyra Show will be the last.

She plans to focus on the launch of her film production company Bankable Studios.

Tyra told fans on her website: “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 five years.”

She added: “Your love and support is always felt by me and it’s given me the courage to take more exciting steps in my life. I thank you for that.”

The show’s most memorable moments have included Tyra revealing her real hair and donning a fat suit.

She revealed her production company’s projects will include movies and told fans: “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.”

Tyra’s announcement comes after talk show queen Oprah Winfrey recent revelation she will end the Oprah Winfrey Show in 2011.

The singer, probably due to lack of attention as is the case in many of these endeavors, has decided to put on a little surprise show for Halloween and start dressing up as reality TV “celebrities”. First on Tyra Banks’ list was Kim Kardishan and afterwards she did make quite a shock by dressing up as Kate Gosselin. The question now remains: who’s the third person? Who’s the third “monster” of the reality TV show industry in whose place Tyra Banks will be placing herself? In all respects given the media attention, it will probably be Jon Gosselin. Just wait and see…

America’s Next Top Model host Tyra Banks will soon face the man accused of stalking her.

Banks, 35, will testify against Brady Green, 38, who is on trial for stalking and harassing her.

He had reportedly been following Banks since January 2008 and was arrested near the building where the star records The Tyra Banks Show in Manhattan.

Green reportedly told police, according to RadarOnline: “I know her. She knows me. We’re good friends.”

He then reportedly said he had come by bus from Los Angeles to see Banks.

Court papers reportedly quote Green as saying: “We had a thing together.”

He reportedly added: “I sent her flowers. I sent her cards. Should I plead no contest? I’ve got satellites watching me and recording us.”

Green is said to have pleaded not guilty to the charges of stalking, harassment and criminal trespass and could face up to 90 days in jail if he is convicted.

Is Tyra Banks getting married?

J. Alexander, judge of America’s Next Top Model, does not think so. And even if wedding bells are in the works Banks would definitely get a nice beating from Miss J if she does get married without inviting Alexander to the wedding. However, Miss J said his head is too busy he can’t start figuring out Banks’ head. He said he is working with Banks but do not really discuss these things with her. He is however sure there will be a big fight if he misses the wedding because no invitation was sent to him. Miss J however said Banks, who is dating investment banker John Untendahl from new York, is already married but to her work.

Banks made it to the 25 Most Stylish New Yorkers list released by Us Weekly. Banks is set to host the event when they get honored in a Big Apple big bash. The others who made it to the list are Kelly Ripa, John Legend, Christian Siriano of Project Runway, designer Patrick Robinson, Becki Newton of Ugly Betty, Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Sean Avery, Jessica Szohr of Gossip Girl, and Tommy Hilfiger among others. The 34-year old Banks, who posed as Michelle Obama with a Barack Obama look-alike in Harper’s Bazaar September issue, said Obama couldn’t have made it without his wife. She said the new President is an inspiration to a lot of people especially the minority.

Tyra Banks is devoting her entire show on Monday to the vagina. Yes, that’s right. The female vagina. It will be an entire hour-long episode about the ins and outs of the mysterious lady part. Dumb bitch, she’s acting like she invented the damn thing. Tyra baby, I talk about my vagina all the time. With pretty much anyone anywhere. I really don’t need your fat ass going on TV telling me how vaginas are ok. What I really want to hear is how it is that your show didn’t get cancelled. Pretty much everyone I know has seen it in passing once and cries “BLUUUUGH!!” when I ask for their opinion about it. Small wonder so many women seem to have an unsatisfactory sex life. Nobody even knows what the hell is down there, what it’s for, or how it works! Maybe the show will do some good and teach people the difference between a vulva and a vagina and show people precisely where a clitoris is!
