Miss J Alexander finally confirms the long-standing rumor that he is a father in his new book Follow the Model. J stopped by The Tyra Banks Show on Tuesday to talk about his book, fatherhood and more.
“I’m a dad,” he told Tyra. J and his ex-boyfriend Alex both acted as sperm donors and both are equally active in the child’s life.
“A French lesbian had asked if we would be sperm donors,” he said. “So we thought, ‘OK, you want me to do you?’ And she was like, ‘Ooooh, I’m not that talented.’ So I said, ‘Okay fine.’ So we did …read more

Tyra Banks dressed up as reality star and recent America’s Next Top Model judge Kim Kardashian for Halloween. The costume is hilarious, as Tyra attached oversized cardboard versions of Khloe and Kourtney to her back and tried to best to talk just like Kim. I’m impressed Tyra.

The Tyra Banks Show partnered with Aerostaple to give away 100,000 coats for charity this past week in Grand Rapids. The coat drive was organized through the non-profit One Warm Coat, an organization whose mission is to ensure all children have coats to keep them warm through the winter.

Several Top Model alumni came out to help give away the coats, including Toccara Jones, Lauren Utter and Aminat Ayinde. The girls took some time to sign autographs for a few star-struck kids receiving the coats! Tyra didn’t make an appearance, but it’s still a great cause for her to support!

In honor of the season five premiere of The Tyra Banks Show, Tyra hosted the show without her weave. She hasn’t been in public with her real hair since she was nineteen!
I’ll admit, I was in for something great – like she’d be bald or have the Mia Farrow cut she loves giving Top Model girls. In the end, her hair was natural and she was beautiful.
Here’s a brief clip from the show:
What do you think of Tyra going weave-free?

This year, Tyra Banks is promising that The Tyra Banks Show will be bigger and better than ever. One thing that won’t be bigger and better during the season premiere? Tyra’s weave!
