Banks Shuns Celebrities For New Talk Show

Sexy supermodel Tyra Banks is shunning the opportunity to interview her fellow celebrities on her upcoming talk show, preferring instead to focus on everyday people.

The curvaceous catwalk beauty recently signed a deal with TELEPICTURES to host her own daytime show, which will be co-produced by Jennifer Lopez's former manager Benny Medina.

And when it debuts in the autumn of next year (05), she promises it won't be a star-studded affair.

She says, "It's not celebrity-driven at all. It's more about human interest and women's issues for the young generation."

Banks adds that the show will focus on such issues as dating, body image, self-esteem, divorce and children.

it's bad enough that I have problems with being overweight,a eating disorder plus mental illness then every once in awhile a slim woman comes along and makes life harder for somebody like me when they want to play around with someone else's life. I don't think that it was cute or funny when you wanted to "see" how it was being overweight.if you really wanted to go there why didn't you just open your mouth and stuff food in it?instead now that you have set the trend there is another woman on a popluar show who is thin also and she just has to see what it feels like to be fat.I am so sick of all of you people with talk shows that uses anybody's problems to boost ratings.
