TYRA BANKS COVERS ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY


Tyra Banks is on the cover of this week's "Entertainment Weekly". The magazine tagged the former supermodel with "Tyra Inc". In the interview, Banks discussed the inevitable Oprah comparisons, her business empire and her future plans.

Tyra on being compared to Oprah Winfrey: ''In the beginning, I used to hate it. I used to cry at night just because of the pressure. And I didn't want her thinking that I was saying it.

It's flattering. [But] if I was white, I don't think they'd be saying it. I think a lot of it has to do with being a black woman.''

Tyra on her multi-media brand: ''It's the attainable fantasy. Girl empowerment — but not preachy. I like it to be surrounded by a little bit of candy so you don't know that you're getting a message.

Tyra on her rising status: There's a fear I have with success in the business world,'' she admits. ''People have this image of women, especially in business — that they have to be ballbusters, and that's so not what I am.

I'm not afraid of wanting money at all. Money will give me more power to do things that are truer to my spirit than what I'm already doing.

I don't think I'll always be on television. I don't know whether it's 10 or 20 years, but I know it won't be when I'm 60.''

Tyra is no where near Lady O. Oprah is on another level. I like Tyra, but 'O' is jus the shit, there is no other Oprah, but O.
