…

first tricksizz!!!

LOL@ the lil kid under the desk….

THE ONLY THING THAT SHE HAS IN COMMON WITH MICHELLE OBAMA IS THAT THEY ARE BOTH WOMEN…

(((Crickets chriping slowly)))

….this is scary… ;-(

NOT AT ALL

Tyra needs to sit her stupid ass down somewhere.

What was the point? Wasn’t it bad enough when the New York Times took a swipe at Obama?

Now this airhead whose only claim to fame is strutting down a catwalk wants to get in on the action?

Bad taste Tyra!!!

why?????

This is silly. Obama hasn’t been elected yet. They should wait until he’s in before they do stuff like this.

I meant the New Yorker.

hannibal

you are a dumbass!

GO TYRA..dust these damn haters off..girl do you and michelle!

Not impressed at all and she is looking older about the wrinkly eyes. Not impressed at all Tyra. Not at all.

OK SUGAR WALLS

Dust these haters off? Wow.

Then again, yes I am a hater.

Things I hate:

Dumb shyt done by even dumber mutherfukkas *takes look at pic above* like Tyra

sorry, not a good look, tyra.

things I hate:

The fact that the guy standing behind Tyra failed to shove that flag pole up her stank behind.

I don’t care the man portraying Barack either!!! Not at all. He looks way too Uncle Tom-ish!

UNCLE TOM-ISH?

that dude she’s with thats supposed to be OBAMA? he looks like he’s 19 years old….

I’m not feeling this. Come on Tyra….why would you let them make you look like a dumbass?

(sigh) tyra, tyra…. have a seat ma’am.

lol @ mandah

I think this is stupid of her – but I guess she has her own motives. I hope she hasn’t been bamboozled like so many other Black folks get, especially over money. Then later on they are SORRY.

@ Underwood

Yeah…Uncle Tom-ish. A lil off! A little too stick up the azz for my taste.

This photoshoot looks dumb. The guy portraying Obama looks like Tyra’s son. the hair is all wrong and Mrs. Obama does not dress like a stepford wife with big curly hair. smh

oh hell no this is an insult to mrs obama

This is so wack!! next..

THIS IS AN INSULT TO MRS. OBAMA! THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL MICHELLE LOOKS AS GOOD AS TYRA BANKS!

why yall mad? i think this picture sux but not cuz of the connotations…

Tyra hair too big, her dress too big and her man too young and why the dude back there behind (obama) puckerin his lips?

TERRIBLE PIC Bazaar!

I hate Tyra.

Magazines always do fashion shoots to emulate a popular woman. There have been shots immitating the Kennedys, and the one of them in the office most reminds me of the Kennedys, especially with the child under the desk.

There is no way in hell that Tyra will ever be as classy and distinguised as Michelle Obama.

The closest Tyra will ever get to the President is if she tries to pull a Monica Lewinski.

doubt it

Tyra’s a f**cking idiot. And shes annoying to me…

I understand the concept…but she’s so phony on her show (other comedians are known to comment on her, “Oh I would’ve NEVER done that,” statements), it’s hard to take her seriously.

I just like her photoshoots and modeling, thats about it.

I used to idolize Tyra, when i was a girl. Now she is just corny to me.

Tyra is dumb as s*it. She need to shut the h*ll up and just model like Naomi

always question a person who can’t relate to their own age bracket.

Tyra’s best days was when she was an angel. She got all of the attention and took her best pics. I remember her last angel show she murdered that runway.

M. Obama could not look as good as Tyra on her best day. Clean the eyeballs people.

M. Obama could not look as good as Tyra on her best day. Clean the eyeballs people.

Tyra will never gain the same respect as Michelle Obama either.

Tyra seems like she would do anything to get ratings. Another black model could have pull off Ms. Obama because Tyra was never a high fashion model. She has breast implants and was more Victoria Secret and men’s magazine model. So putting her in that look really degrades the real Ms. Obama.

Tyra is a childish grown woman that doesn’t take anything seriously and doesn’t realize nobody takes her seriously. Come on, grow up…

These people (celebs) are making a mockery of Barack Obama’s campaign.

They get involved with, over-expose and corrupt damned near everything. (I can’t even shop at J. Crew no more!)

I’m sure his wife is capable of doing a magazine cover and layout in her own skin…hence we see.

Like he or his wife need anymore attention.

She a dummy, a simpleton, nincompoop, dunce, seller of snake oil, childish, fake, zombie,

I’m glad Tyra’s making that paper, but I’m just not a fan sorry. NEXT!

@ msjlh Agreed. But it is not a insult to Mrs. Obama to be potrayed by Tyra. Hell they could have picked Whoopi to do the shoot, that would be more of a true likeness to Mrs. Obama.

Who cares if Michelle Obama will never look like Tyra?

That was a foolish comment.

Tyra will never look like Tyra…the woman is a character & lame personality at best full of makeup and hair.

*Place Tyra in a room w/Michelle Obama and some of her friends, Tyra or her makeup wouldn’t last 5 minutes and would crawl her dumb under the table then out the door.

You can’t fake savvy and tact.

I don’t like this pic. Tyra takes some nice photo’s but Obama is not in the president seat yet and I think a lot of our people is giving bad impressions of him by trying to make him look and seem like he is already president. Not a good look… at least wait till it do happen then rub it in people faces if he wins.

Ladies need you need to get a grip. Your acting like Tyra dressed as the Virgin Mary or something. It’s a fashion shoot. Cute idea, pulled off well, move on with your day…..

I don’t care who did it: Tyra, Naomi, Liya, Alek…the whole idea was a hit and miss.

Bet none of them would have done it. Just as most of the things Tyra does – it was in bad taste.

The homeless ish, the fat suit, her oblivious/airheaded, comments or race….

Shomondo (DRAMA FREE)(Check me out!)

@ msjlh Agreed. But it is not a insult to Mrs. Obama to be potrayed by Tyra. Hell they could have picked Whoopi to do the shoot, that would be more of a true likeness to Mrs. Obama.

———————————————–

Why did Mrs. Obama have to be portrayed by anyone at all? Tyra “attempting” to look like Mrs. Obama is not necessarily a bad thing but when I look at something like what I see above I fail to see the compliment (if any was intended) and all I see is the lack of common sense.

Tyra dumb? Bet her bank account says different.

“Tyra dumb? Bet her bank account says different.”

I’m sayin!! all these haters up in here calling her stupid classless and talentless probably don’t have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of – but they’re steady doggin Tyra’s skills!!!

Having money or making it doesn’t justify being dumb.

I actually agree with u on this one

@ msjlh I’m sure the real Mr & Mrs. Obama did’nt have the time to do shoot, or maybe they didnt want to. Mag in business to make money, so why not do something like this? Whats the harm? Why lack of common sense? Why everybody so damn protective of the Obamas. Sure they both knew what the deal was when he decided to run for prez. Lighten up people.

@Hannibal

Go Toward the Light!!!

aight babies, its almost 4 and im gone ttyl

bye sugarwalls

just me

just saying

Re

etc etc

p.s. sugar walls, better have that blind item wit the answer tomorrow cot damn!!! jus playin lol

The real Ms. Obama is much, much better looking than the real Tyra. The real Tyra has never admitted to her boob job, has never wore her real hair in public for at least 10 years, doesn’t remember how her original nose and cheeks look and has never been seen without makeup in at least 20 years.

@ Ms. Sugar Walls. Cool glad you agree wid me on this one. Does this mean I get a lil cyber taste of your walls? Be kind. *unfurling cyber tongue*

Tyra’s best days was when she was an angel. She got all of the attention and took her best pics. I remember her last angel show she murdered that runway.

*********************************************

that is just one of the many things that she is/was good at

she recieve a golden globe for her talk show..When these commentators receive on..then maybe they can have the room to talk

Sugar Walls

LOL! more power to you..one of my best friends loves Tyra as well..i feel as though Tyra is phony..she changes her ‘personality’ depending on where she is at and who she is speaking/interviewing..she such a narcissist..it really pains me to listen to her..

@SMDH…

Nah…lol. She just does a lot of senseless things and she’s one of a list of AA that are in the eye of White & Black America.

She’s the “C” word if you ask me. I tried to watch/follow her in the beginning and her antics “She acts Black, he acts White, that’s ghetto, I’ll get ghetto, ya’ll dance like Black people, a study showed that Black girls – yeah that was your staff asking questions on the street…” comments just got out of hand, unthought and unresearched. Trust me…I attempted to support her as a fan.

I’m not going to sugarcoat anything about. Money don’t make you smart – it makes you have money and that’s all she has.

Cents not sense.

And…

@ NYC Gal RUN to eye doc. you need new scrip ASAP.

this is getting way too out of hand

@ Sugarwalls…

While you’re wondering if she’s sleeping w/my man too…nah because evidently she’s laying the pipe to you.

Lol, keep lovin Suga.

There’s nothing wrong with being VERSATILE!! Tyra is an entertainer… She is entertaining.. Ya’ll need ot stop hatin on sistas for doing their thing!!

@Shomondo

If you see Tyra in her natural state you will run to the eye doctor! She is very unattractive without her getup.

While you’re wondering if she’s sleeping w/my man too…nah because evidently she’s laying the pipe to you.

honey, really I didn’t know if you were a man or a woman and I honestly don’t care who is laying pipe in your mouth or asshole..I am just saying that u are hating tough on tyra..were u one of the rejects that didn’t get pass the 13 chicks that are picked..or were u one of the chicks that didn’t make it past the first audition??

@ Mandah

BYE MOMMA! GOOD NIGHT!

Sugar…

Get my name right, LMAO! You and your damned sweets.

Looks likes those walls are crumbling.

Don’t come unglued.

My comments are about Tyra Banks, not you. Call her up and tell her you’re coming to her rescue amongst all of us lowly bloggers. (Sighing)

You didn’t say I was hating on her…you asked if she was fking whomever. You seem obsessed w/sex, you and your walls and all.

Rejects? Cycles? Come on…thats not what the world is all about. A reality show? If that’s what you think it is and that’s what could upset a person… Sad for you and your candy, snacks, sugar or whatever.

And…

Sugar…

Are you a teenager?

(Not joking)

Come on she’s a model. Models take pictures pretending to be all sorts of people. White models have posed as Hillary Clinton, Margaret Thatcher, and Jackie Kennedy. I think the spread in Harper’s Bazaar was beautiful. Tyra has come a long way and made a name for herself. She’s also paved a way for other young girls to be proud of who they are. Everyone takes things so seriously. More people talk on this site about shades of color and ethnicity. How about being proud of the accomplishments of both ladies? They are both positive influences on our society just in different ways.

Damn – the hateration up in here is DEEP!!

You go Tyra!! Do you girl!! Make your haters your motivators!!!

Sad for you and your candy, snacks, sugar or whatever.

———————————————-

that was funny

LOL

@Shomondo

If you see Tyra in her natural state you will run to the eye doctor! She is very unattractive without her getup.

Ahh Yes I dare to dream. If I got to see her without her getup as you say. THAT would mean I got all close and personal with her, which despite what you say I would LOVE to do.

The descriptive nature of this comment is causing me to elevate to a very excited state of arousal. *strolling to office fridge for ice water*

lol im still ryling bout the stuff we posted bout cassie yesterday go bac and read that postand comment if u want a laugh

hers a preview

I swear, if Cassie is allowed to sing the national anthem…I will be down in my pre-made bomb shelter counting down until Jesus comes back. NO lie. Because if this chick even gets the opportunity, the world is surely coming to end. I can imagine it now…as Assie begins to *sing*Oh say can you seeeee… *cats fall out of the sky, water turns to wine, Michael Jackson turns Black…* With that said, the pictures are gorgeous. Hopefully when this next album flops, she’ll realize her true calling…selling ass to make rent.

@Shomondo

I’m sure your dreams(my nightmare) are of a woman with a receding hairline which just extents her forehead, no eye lashes, no eyebrows, dark circles under her eyes, freckles on her face and very pale skin that has not seen sunlight for years. I have seen Michelle Obama without no makeup and she is sooooo much better looking than Tyra without. Tyra needs that getup. It’s for our own eye protection!

@ Sugar…

(Frowning) and ugh!! What in the hell are you talking about? Aimless rambling.

Rejection? Slow hating? Slow? Lol, you are nuts. You sound one of those crazy chicks who read into ish or get mixed signals from a guy…what?

Close your legs and work from the neck up.

I don’t know you, but you sound like one of those ugly women who think her ish the bomb so she’s always talking about it, lol. Sugar Walls my ass. Crab palace.

Hater…how? I don’t know you. I was cracking on your username. You’re the one trying to figure folk out.

Stop banging on your keyboard.

Girl, nobody cares about you and your diabetic snatch.

@ NYC Gal No!! I dont believe it. I have to see that for myself, but when the morning came if she indeed looked that damn bad I would excuse my self and bid her good day. Only after I hit tho she is TYRA after all. *staring at the office ceiling wondering are NYC Gal words true?*

its funny the first thing i thought about was black barbie and ken not obama and michelle

@ Sugar…

Ummm, why do you keep saying I want to be a model? You would want to take your own advice about washing something.

“then y are u hating so tough on tyra?? I think that is what it is about..a washed up want to be model that had to be rejected numerous of times..and now u have to be someone toilet cleaner NOW I am shaking my damn head”

I’m beginning to think you’re somebody just playing on the computer. You’ve taken time out to comment on me and my comments.

Why do you think modeling is so important and that’s what people strive for? You’re sad and the only thing I modeled is cap a gown when I got my degrees.

You sound like somebody that can’t rationalize, I see why all you have going is a suggestive username about your ish.

I said/meant I supported by trying to watch her shows…what didn’t your syphillis infested brain get about that.

Lol, you are hillarious mane.

*Go wash that sugar off your snatch before it starts itching.

@ And…

You r killing sugar balls uh I mean walls…best line yet…”diabetic snatch” ROFLMAO…I can’t stop laughing…looks like you ran her out of here.

@ Shomondo….U must have never watched tyra show…have u seen the show when she took off her makeup? She has said past boyfriends have left her because she doesn’t look like her pictures.

@Shomondo

It better be very dark when you hit it. ‘Cause you gonna get very soft in the light!

@ Me…

Lol, that candyland hooker just starting trying to come at me on some off the cuff, erratic ish.

Tyra’s ass don’t care – she’s getting all worked up in here. Did you read her comments? Lucid.

We’re all in here for colorful commentary and entertainment.

She’s going off the deep end coming at bloggers.

S T O O O O P P P PLEASE. Why are ya’ll ruining it for me?? I didnt see the show where she took off her makeup. Was it really that bad??? N O O O O O O O O O O O O O O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STOP THE LIES STOP THE LIES *covering eyes and repeating in head they lie they lie they lie*

@Shomondo…

Lol, yep it’s that bad.

I wasn’t going to comment on her looks, but your girl is a beast.

Her green eyes actually look scary w/the unwaxed upper lip, chin acne (she told the nastiest story about a puss bump she popped, she said the head looked like a maggot).

She’s vocal about her flaws and said she’s not afraid to get airbrushed or made-up for appeal.

Who isn’t? Lol…

Good thing is she admits it. You must not have read her interview where she states she doesn’t like for the men she dates to see her w/o her wig because they expect her to maintain a certain level from beauty.

Ya girl even said she isn’t confident w/o her weave.

This is not a good depiction of Michelle Obama. When I think of her I think of class not a hollywood photoshop shoot. Sorry Tyra but you did not pull this one off and thats just me being honest.

@ And… Alright, alright it’s all an illusion. Well thats alright I’d love her anyway for her inner beauty and the high six figure bank account. Thinking of all her money would cause my Mr. Stiffy to leap up front and center and report for puddy poundin duty everytime she needed, to earn his keep.

And she looks gorgeous in that picture, I think everyone is reading too deep into the whole concept. And I highly doubt Mrs. Obama will be insulted. It’s a tasteful and classy picture. End of discussion. Haters stop hating. You’re only putting more money in the bank for her.

Tyra wish she was part of a power couple. Hell Tyra wish she was part of a regular couple.

I think she looks very pretty. I thought the whole point was to flatter them by doing this photo shoot. I mean come on ppl, this is in a “Fashion Magazine”. Everyone has been talking about how fashable Michelle is who better to portray her than a fashion model (ex, I mean). I don’t get why everybody so upset.

lmao!!!!!!!!!!! @ da dude smilin

I think the problem is what Tyra represents and Ms. Obama is. Tyra represents the superficial and she CRAZY (that is what has been reported on several occasions). If an unknown model or Thandie Newton, Angela Bassett, or Gabby Union had portray her in pictures, people would have associated them with strength and realness. Y’all know if OJ, Kobe Byrant or TI portray Obama, y’all would be up in arms.

gabby can’t protray michelle..SORRY

that is the hollywood black group trying to catch a baller wh0re…sorry

Maybe Angela and Kerry washington

i mean angela basset is a good guess

…Tyra Banks is asshole extraordinnaire…whoever told her she had ANY talent and/or creativity must have won some sick bet to do that…

.

oh come on!!! how n the fu*ck did they let her get away with this shyte! she looks nothing like michelle ! what a stupid azz idea if ur not gonna pull it off good.

@Dont Like Me wrote, “This is silly. Obama hasn’t been elected yet. They should wait until he’s in before they do stuff like this.”

Looks like they don’t believe he’ll get in, so they’re cashing in on the ‘love’, now. Obama sells papers, he sells magazines, he sells tshirts and cups and just about anything you can name.

I like the purple dress, but she’s not portraying Michelle Obama. Michelle would never allow her man to be made invisible like in the second picture (which has a cute little BLACK kid instead of a cute little crimp-weaved Creole/mixed/half-latin/half-asian kid).

Props to the little BLACK kid for looking BLACK. But that’s about it. And the dude playing Obama is hot in a GQ way. But that’s about it, too. And the dresses are glam. They’re smoking. Ok, I’m ambivalent about this photo shoot.

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ ARE u looking for a classy, attractive man with a good sense of humor here I am. i am a strong man in uniform. I believe on old fashion morals and values. I like to treat everyone with respect. I am looking for a honest,attractive man, with good sense of humor. check out uniformedcupid.c om get me!

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

Well at least Barack doesn’t have to spend a day denoucing Tyra. This was more elegant & a compliment to the Obama’s.

Sometimes imitation is not the best form of flattery. Sometimes imitation, is just born out of the stupidity, of mockery. ARTOFWAR.

Tyra just took a picture! Which is her specialty. I am sure that Michelle Obama was flattered that they chose to use a supermodel, because she is very humble unlike some of the bloggers on this site.

There is a way to disagree without being down grading to other people. But if that is all you know how to do you will never know how to rise to the occasion.

The comments given against Tyra or for Michelle Obama are not in the spirit of either of them. Michelle Obama is classy as her supporters say so what do you think she would do in this situation?

Sometimes the women (men) on this website are just disrespectful, give honor where honor is due. Tyra is and was a business woman and that does not mean you can not like Michelle.

How about this? I think they are both awesome! Different but awesome. Michelle is smart no doubt but do you think she can strike a pose like Tyra??

There does not have to be either/or, love/hate. Why put down 2 black women who are doing the damn thing!

These ignorant black folks continue to tear down and minstrelize Barack even before he gets in the White House. All so-called faux celebrities, whack preachers and civil rights people of old, stop interfering! It’s bad enough that white folks think that once Barack is in, that he will say he’s a Muslim! So shut up and disappear! You’re on the path to destroying the dream!

@Artofwar

I couldn’t agree with you more. Sometimes in mainstream magazines we as black women are all lump together. I wonder if Harper’s Baazar was to portray Jackie O, if they would have choosen someone like Pamela Anderson or Ana Nicole Smith(if she was alive) to portray her. I wonder.

@BeReal

OJ should be able to portray Barack Obama or Mike Tyson. Jesse Jackson is definitely a better choice. Better yet Denis Rodman, Barack was a basketball star. Why not any of these?

@BeReal……. Get real!!!

Tyra Banks made her claim to fame, hawking her rear end, and breasts for a living.

Michelle Obama on the other hand, is the epitome of what an intelligent black, or white woman should inspire to become. This is a woman with a college education, that is also married to an educated man. It is people like yourself that don’t know the difference, that just bewilder me.

And as to putting these two women even in the same sentence, is just pure and simple blasphemy. And is one of the reasons to why this country, finds itself in its current state of moral decay. There is a vast deference between class, and ass. And money is not necessarily adequate to anything, other than the one that has sold the most ass to acquire it. ARTOFWAR.

Fail

SOMEONE MAKE HER STOP , THE TYRA MUST BE CUT.

What a waste of trees and such an insult to my girl, Michelle.

Tyra looks really classy in these pictures.

BTW, Tyra was and forever will be a SUPERMODEL!!! This is what models do…they portray images of different people.

TYRA MY GIRL BUT SOMETIMES SHE CROSS THE LINE!! THIS TIME SHE CROSS THE LINE. I WONDER WHAT MRS. OBAMA THINK OF THIS THOUGH!!!

She looks more like Iman than Michelle, but I think it looks nice and in no way looks offensive as the New Yorker magazine was.

The July issue of Bazaar has Gwyneth Paltrow on the cover. In the first photo for her article she is wearing a white tank top and black skinny jeans.

On the tank top she is wearing a button that says “I have a crush on Obama” with a lipstick print on it.

She talks about Obama and what a great president he’ll be. She is quoted as saying “I just pray to God that he wins.”

This is from a blonde, blue-eyed, Oscar winning actress that is from “a good family” and is considered a fashion icon.

The August issue of Bazzar has Jessica Biel on the cover. Jessica Biel does not talk about the election, but there is an article about Nancy Pelosi in this issue.

Nancy Pelosi, democrat, and Speaker of the House of Represanttives talks about how impressive Obama is and how “It’s almost urgent that we have a Democratic president.” She decribes Obama – “He has a certain grace and dignity and an intelligence that shines.”

The target audience for this magazine is white women, preferably white upscale women who can buy the merchandise in the ads. Because although some of us can afford these items we are still ignored as consumers.

So this concept of the Obamas in the White House using Tyra is to appeal to this audience and their young daughters (& sons) who keep Tyra on the air.

The only black people (outside of the Obamas)in consideration when this piece was done were the Tyra and the black models used.

I really wish she had not glamourized the Obama’s. They need to be taken as seriously as possible.

michelle obama does not wear all of that F’n makeup. Tyra just tries to damn hard!

I am so tired of everyone hating on Tyra. She is a very good role model to young women out there. I think the picture was nice and people are just jealous they didn’t think of it. Everyone needs to stop hating on someone who is trying to do positive things. If it was a pitcure of her boobs and breast out everyone would love it. Get a life you losers.

Well Art of War maybe you think that a college education is the only requirement for being successful. Or perhaps this is the only way black women can be considered successful to some. I on the other hand believe that people (including black females) can be smart without a degree.

I believe in education but it is not the only thing that makes one smart. Being innovate and creative and taking risks is also being smart. Having lots of letters after your name does not. Most actors, models, ahtletes and others in entertainment do not have degrees but they are successful and smart.

I know plenty of people with PHD’s who are not that smart.

If Tyra used what God blessed her with to get money by modeling than so what. She still does not have to be called nasty names because someone disagrees with a picture she took. Michele Obama has several degree and yes she has proven that she is smart not by walking around with her degrees but speaking with intelligence. I don’t always agree with what Tyra does or says but she is not stupid, sometimes she is emotional, so what!

Stop trying to put down someone’s entire career when you know nothing about what it takes to be and stay a model. If it was easy then every beautiful girl would be one. Tyra has 2 TV shows, she produces and writes, when she modeled she was an ICON. Don’t berate her achievements because you don’t like her.

I should’ve started at the bottom of the posted comments because they seem to make more sense. I used to really enjoy Tyra because she seemed to be someone who cared about more than just looks & material things. Today I can say that I don’t enjoy Tyra as much but she still seems to be that person who is not consumed with the world & its things. For that reason, I don’t get the venom. She is a Barack & Michelle supporter. She has expressed a lot of respect for them. Tyra by & large handles herself as a professional & classy woman. I’m so greatful that we have someone like her portrayed in the media. Eventually I hope that we get more like her so that we can somehow balance out the ever so “wonderful” video vixens.

bad timing, poor taste. Just when Michelle is featured on the Ebony cover. Reminds me of when the Senator visited the Tyra show and she asked if she could have a slumber party in Lincoln bedroom. She tried to flirt and he asserted Michelle. SICK!

WTF!!!

@BeReal…… It is to your knowledge, that I can speak on models, actors, singers, and about the entertainment world in general.

Why you say? Because if you had mustered enough energy as to enquirer about my back ground, you would know that I happen to be smack dab, in the middle of the entertainment business.

Entertainers are as good as the people that manage them, including accountants, and financial consultants. All of the aforementioned, with the exception of a few, have college degrees. Some from ivy league schools.

Did you actually believe that these entertainers make it to the top of the mountain, all by themselves. Especially being some of which, have but meager talents, other than sleeping with the right people?

Sorry to have to educate you via broad band, but what makes any entity, cooperation or individual, a financial success is a team effort. Never the individual themselves.

Your beloved Tyra. B, would be selling ass, on any given urban street corner, if it was not for her team, and yes they all have college degrees. And if you had yourself, gone to college, you too would know this. (Nuff said…) The one and only….. ARTOFWAR.
