Posted by Bossip Staff

Tyra Banks attempts to “play the role” of Michelle Obama in Harper’s Bazaar Fall Fashion Issue but she looks more like a effin’ Stepford wife than anything else.

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

    Haviland

    NOT AT ALL

    msjlh:former lurker who has seen the error of her ways

    Tyra needs to sit her stupid ***** 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!!!

    Book Worm

    why?????

    Dont Like Me

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

    msjlh:former lurker who has seen the error of her ways

    I meant the New Yorker.

    hannibal

    you are a dumb*****!

    Hannibal

    msjlh:former lurker who has seen the error of her ways

    Dust these haters off? Wow.

    Then again, yes I am a hater.

    Things I hate:

    dayg715

    sorry, not a good look, tyra.

    msjlh:former lurker who has seen the error of her ways

    things I hate:

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

    I'm Just Me- Bucky Baby's, Hoovy Baby's and Josh Allen's #1 STAN!!!! OH...and Kanye can soooo get it too :)

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

    Where dey do dat at?

    Tyra is annoying

    Lauren

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

    YBNVS

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

    Mandah! u aint said nuthin...

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

    msjlh:former lurker who has seen the error of her ways

    lol @ mandah

    tg

    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.

    I'm Just Me- Bucky Baby's, Hoovy Baby's and Josh Allen's #1 STAN!!!! OH...and Kanye can soooo get it too :)

    @ Underwood

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

    Lady Architect

    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

    hmmm

    oh hell no this is an insult to mrs obama

    Dana Dane

    how the…this motherfu….did she jus……what the hel….*****

    Fancy

    This is so wack!! next..

    bree

    i *****ing loathe Tyra Banks..omg its really turning into a strong hate..please refrain from putting two posts about her in the same day again Bossip

    Hannibal

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

    Ermy Erm

    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 HUMANS

    I hate Tyra.

    WhatsYoursIsMine- Wishing Barack Obama a Happy 47th Birthday!

    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.

    msjlh:former lurker who has seen the error of her ways

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

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

    sorry BREE

    I ♥ u but I love tyra banks..AND i think that everyone is hating on her bad..Y??? I don’t know, but She is a successful black woman that is doing her thing and It isn’t that many people that can p***** for being OBAMA and Michelle..

    When people acted like the presidents in the past..They didn’t look exactly like them and Maybe tyra is trying to slide Michelle some new hair styles…I am not saying that Michelle hair is *****ed up..Because on the cover of ebony she looks nice, but I have seen her sides in dire need of a PERM or hot pressing comb

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

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

    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 so self absorbed…always question a person who can’t relate to their own age bracket.

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

    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.

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

    NYC Gal

    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.

    And...

    Tyra is a childish grown woman that doesn’t take anything seriously and doesn’t realize *****ody 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,

    Aunt Viv

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

    SMDH

    She looks GREAT!! Okay – she is not Michelle Obama but what is the REAL problem here?? The girl hasn’t done anything wrong or distasteful!! Its a very beautiful picture..

    Damn – you haters are *****ing comedy!! Always hatin on the sista!! Now if she were a ghetto ***** gutter niggette, like Khia, you’d STILL be ***** her!! But this girl is doing her own thing – and never had to depend on a *****ing man for anything.. A sista just can’t win!!Damn, leave it alone!!

    Shomondo (DRAMA FREE)

    @ 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.

    And...

    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.

    southern sway

    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.

    “Bossip hates successful light-skinnded women

    Fact”

    Bossip appears to hate successful black women PERIOD!! Especially successful black women who have what they have absent putting up with some mans ***** to get it!! Look how they dog Oprah!!!

    Its a damn shame.. The black male doesn’t want to help the black woman with a dman thing, but he loves to hate on her when she gets it for herself…

    Tiger

    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…..

    And...

    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….

    ———————————————–

    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.

    And...

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

    Ok, so let me get this straight…..Vogue comes out with the “black women” issue and you guys nut all over yourselves and talk about “it’s about time, black is beautiful” etc etc. But now this week Tyra and Michelle Obama cocurrently get some love in Harpers Bazaar and the hating ensues? This site is becoming so *****ing retarded. A big ***** cluster of racism, hipocrisy and green ***** faced envy. Never *****ing pleased.

    @ 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.

    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.

    *****CATDOLL

    In response to John McCain’s controversial celebrity ad, Barack Obama’s campaign released this Heidi Montag endorsed poster today. Insiders claim Senator McCain thought his own campaign was responsible for the poster and after viewing it, proudly informed reporters his campaign is striving to attract younger voters by using “talented actresses” such as Montag. Campaign officials quickly ushered the stuttering McCain away from the microphones and explained that Obama’s camp was responsible for the ad. Witnesses say McCain began pumping his fists as he burst into a fit of Hulk-like fury and berated his cowering employees for not coming up with the idea themselves.

    Republicans are desperately comical!!!

    And...

    @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.

    the topic for her show is truly nonsense

    she be giving the dummest advice that her producer

    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.

    Are you a teenager?

    (Not joking)

    kay

    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.

    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!

    And...

    @ 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 *****. Crab palace.

    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.

    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*

    And...

    @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.

    Ashcakes

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

    kai

    Tyra will be one of “those” women who are successful without a man as their partner.. I dont blame her in some lights. You get tired of playing the game with these *****z laying up under you all the damn time lol. Do your thing Tyra. However, dare to dream on being First Lady lol! SMH

    Ahni

    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 cl*****y 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.

    SexyThangg!

    I wanna slap Tyra fos ths bulls*it! Tyra is no way Michelle Obama she’s not married no kids hell she cant even keep a man!

    juiicebucketttsz

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

    SexyThangg!

    She always trying to bite someone else stlye!

    SexyThangg!

    And i thought she retired from Modeling.

    NYC Gal

    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 B*****ett, or Gabby Union had portray her in pictures, people would have *****ociated 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 b*****et is a good guess

    SexyThangg!

    @Ahni she did have a nose job! Just go look at her nose when she was in the movie Higher Learning or when she was on the Fresh Prince of Bel Air and look at it no then tell me she didnt get a nose job.

    @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.

    toni b.

    The problem with Trya and many of her peers, is they feel being famous gives them the right to have any image desired. Michelle Obama is highly intelligent and is much more that a physical image. Outside of fame and fortune Tyra could never fit Michelle Obama’s shoes.

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

    ARTOFWAR

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

    BeReal

    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 cl*****y 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!

    CriticXtreme::

    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!

    NYC Gal

    @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?

    Ruby

    Lord that ***** is crazy…

    ARTOFWAR

    @BeReal……. Get real!!!

    Tyra Banks made her claim to fame, hawking her rear end, and ***** 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 cl*****, and *****. And money is not necessarily adequate to anything, other than the one that has sold the most ***** to acquire it. ARTOFWAR.

    SOMEONE MAKE HER STOP , THE TYRA MUST BE CUT.

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

    Mock Rock Star

    Tyra looks really cl*****y in these pictures.

    Mock Rock Star

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

    John

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

    Celia

    Leave it to bossip and her minions to take it to a whole other level. It a portrait piece. Tyra is a Model, what are you complaining about? She doesn’t look trashy, she doesn’t look like she is insulting Michelle Obama. People do it all the time with Jackie O, Elenor Roosevelt, Nancy Reagan. But Oh its Michelle Obama and no one can do a portrait piece of HER!!! It’s an insult to all black people. Obama is not Jesus and his wife is not Mary!! They are regular human beings who may be the first black couple in the white house. People make fun, admire, insult, emulate and attack all high profile political families the Obama’s will be no different. Sometimes Bossip acts like an angry black woman with a m*****ive chip on her shoulder. You all need to calm down. SMDH

    princess07

    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.

    so much to say (always late to the game...oh well...)

    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.

    Sarafina

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

    Sarafina

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

    Sarafina

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

    She also would not try to be sexy and expose one shoulder. I swear Tyra makes me so mad sometimes.

    Keia1st

    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 ***** and breast out everyone would love it. Get a life you losers.

    BeReal

    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.

    not that huge a deal

    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 & cl*****y 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.

    Not again

    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 *****erted Michelle. SICK!

    I Hate white pigs!!

    WTF!!!

    sharkmeat

    I think Tyra looks excellent. I think it is a compliment to M. Obama. I think that Tyra is a very positive and accomplish, and unstereotypical depiction of what black models of today have been reduced to (video hoes). As women of any race get older some spread and I don’t think she is fat. She is not the same size as when she was 20 but there are alot of women who put on weight with age… Its called being a human bieng. The picture is not distasteful. I wish the bloggers of Bossip and some of their posters would quit with all the bashing. This site is always filled with hating always. But then again I always wonder is Bossip really for Black people or is it just a place to put down black people?

    Sarafina

    Tara is all about herself she is not thinking about anything but publicity. Michelle Obama turned down the offer for the shoot because it is in POOR taste. Then they called Tyra and “miss opp” did not even blink. Sometimes Tyra is on point but then her ego gets the best of her. Call it hatin if you want but the Obama’s do not need this *****.

    Done.

    ARTOFWAR

    @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 *****, 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.
