Tyra Banks Show canceled by Tyra Banks

Tyra Banks has announced that the fifth season of her show will be the last season of her show.
That means no more episodes of Tyra dressing up in a fat suit. No more episodes where Tyra makes us squirm with discussions of bodily functions and weirdness that we really don't want to think about (let alone yet). And those are just the two episodes that I've seen. I'm sure you have your own memories of things that happened on the show.
Banks says that she will now focus more on her movie production company Bankable Films. She says she will continue to do things that will keep women and girls "fierce." Whatever that means. (Didn't someone on Project Runway say that?) You'll also get to see Banks on other shows, including The CW's America's Next Top Model and ABC's True Beauty.

The show, which earned Banks two Daytime Emmy Awards, will end its run in spring 2010. Over the years, Banks used the show to empower young women and even address her critics. In an infamous episode, Banks appeared in a bathing suit telling her harshest critics, who had criticized her for gaining weight, to "kiss my fat ass." Recently, Banks also took off her hair weave.

Daytime television has just taken another big hit. Just weeks after media mogul Oprah Winfrey announced that she would be ending her wildly successful talk show Oprah, Tyra Banks has announced that she'll be ending The Tyra Show.

Tyra, however, won't be completely absent from television screens. She'll continue to appear in her hit show America's Next Top Model, which will return for its fifteenth season in February 2010. She will also continue to appear on her other show,

· After only five seasons and approximately twelve episodes dedicated to the tricky art of hair weaves, our lady Tyra Banks is retiring her Tyra Show. The America's Next Top Model creator will instead attempt to bring her positive, cellulite-revealing image of women to the big screen, thanks to her new film production company Bankable Studios which is currently reviewing five possible projects. Lest anyone think that Tyra's disappearance from daytime will diminish her fierceness quotient, Banks reassured viewers that her "next huge steps will allow [her] to reach more women and young girls to help [them] all feel as fierce as [they] truly are."

While there are reality shows like The Amazing Race, Survivor, or even Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List garnering praise and Emmys for their quality level or American Idol, America's Next Top Model, or So You Think You Can Dance giving real people with potential to fulfill their dreams, trashy reality shows appear like the black sheep of the family. They are loud, brash, and sleazy. Like a car crash, you can't help but turn and look.
For reality television, 2009 has provided some of the biggest reasons why reality television gets a bad reputation. Four cable channels have become festering points for Trashy Reality in 2009: VH1, E!, MTV, and We.

Struck by recession, the TV world ceased to inflate a full-blown season in 2009. In order to keep the budget slim, many shows reluctantly reduced the number of star appearances and the networks were forced to carefully select those which will gain them profit and ratings. This led to many actor exits as well as mediocre show cancellations. AceShowbiz is taking its readers for a time travel to the year that was particularly hard on entertainment industry, beginning with the first quarter.
January
What started with a big bang, "Prison Break" had to swallow bitter pill when Fox decided to pull the plug after four years in the running. The series starring Wentworth Miller took a sharp plunge in the transition from third (8.2 million) to fourth (5.3 million) season, which prompted the network to order two additional episodes as a mean of conclusion to the whole drama.

'American Idol,' 'Human Target' swap timeslots

Fox has decided against keeping "American Idol" in the 8 o'clock timeslot on Wednesdays this season, which means "Human Target" is getting a new home too.
The network had originally planned to air Wednesday's "Idol" at 8 p.m. Et, followed by "Human Target" at 9, which would presumably feed a big audience into the new action series starring Mark Valley. Now, though, Fox has decided to flip the two shows -- but not before "Human Target" gets one post-"Idol" airing, the network confirms to Zap2it.
"Target" is still set to debut at 8 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 17, following Fox's NFL playoff coverage (which will provide another big lead-in). It will then follow an "American Idol" audition show at 9 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 20, before moving to 8 p.m. Wednesdays starting Jan. 27.
The move from 9 to 8 p.m. will deprive "Human Target" of the "Idol" feeder audience, but it also puts the show in a less competitive timeslot.

Even though Cycle 13 just wrapped up, there's already plenty of excitement surrounding the next one. More so because of the international destination the models are headed for.
Since America's Next Top Model is heading to New Zealand for Cycle 14, it's only apt that Nigel Barker discuss things with the Nz Herald. He talked about being surprised at all the fuss people have made upon hearing they'll be in the country, as well as what we'll see once the new season airs.

RuPaul is inarguably the most famous drag queen in the world, and his resume includes movies, television, modeling, and #1 dance hits. His twenty-year-plus career hit a high this year with "RuPaul's Drag Race," a reality competition on Logo in the vein of "America's Next Top Model," if the contestants were being judged on how well they were "tucking." RuPaul is also releasing his first book in fifteen years, "Workin' It: RuPaul's Guide to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Style". And for the show's second season, RuPaul promises that it's going to be an even bigger "extravaganza."
Cns: We have to talk about that hilarious photo of you spoofing Sarah Palin. What was your inspiration for that?
RuPaul: We were lucky enough last year to come up with the RuBama idea and that ran all of the world. Same thing this time. We wanted to get people's attention

Fashion designer Anand Jon Alexander used to be the toast of New York's fashion scene and a former contestant on "America's Next Top Model". Alexander had some pretty big plans in store for himself, unfortunately, he didn't realize that those plans involved him being behind bars. The 35-year-old fashion designer was sentenced to 59 years to life in prison after being convicted of undressing young girls behind closed doors. Alexander was also found guilty of assault against women that he lured. The women came in hope of landing modeling gigs with their ages ranging from 14 to 21. The designer claimed it was all a conspiracy at one point, but a judge at the time of his trial said “You have not convinced me that there’s a conspiracy, all right? There’s nothing before me right now that substantiates that.” Check out Anand's photo inside!

The first Tiger Woods mistress to come to light -- Rachel Uchitel -- is now making headlines for more than just her alleged affair with the world champion golfer.
Her hot lips, long hair and lean body practically scream Playboy spread. No surprise there are rumors she's going to do one even if her attorney, Gloria Allred, denies that her client is considering it.
And, it turns out that Rachel is very good friends with another full-lipped, press-savvy, brunette beauty, Janice Dickinson.
Janice is known to most of us as the always outspoken former supermodel-turned-reality-show-contestant. If you didn't catch her on "America's Next Top Model," "The Surreal Life" or "The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency" you may have caught her work on "I'm a Celebrity! Get me out of Here?"
How did we find this out? Because Lisa Bloom, La-based CNN and CBS legal analyst Tweeted:
