Tyra Banks: Britney Spears Should Kill Herself

UPDATE: Tyra Banks' statement today regarding recent reports of her speaking about Britney Spears in a negative manner:

"Britney is a friend and we correspond with each other. These alleged statements are completely false."




Tyra Banks thinks Britney Spears should "kill herself", it has been reported.

The outspoken talk show host was overheard saying Britney - who recently released her comeback album 'Blackout' - should follow in the footsteps of Marilyn Monroe and end her life by taking a drugs overdose.

A shocked onlooker said: "Tyra was saying, really loudly, 'Britney should just go ahead and kill herself after the album and go out like Marilyn, very grand. She should have done it after the last album.'

"It was terrible, nobody could believe she was saying it, let alone saying it without caring who heard!"

A representative for 'America's Next Top Model' host Tyra denied the claims, saying: "This is absolutely not true."

Meanwhile, Tyra has herself been on the receiving end of some harsh criticism recently, after 'America's Next Top Model' judge Janice Dickinson labeled her "fat" on TV.

Speaking on US show 'TODAY' Janice said: "You want to see someone who's fat? I'm sorry, Tyra. Tyra Banks is fat."

Later on Monday, Janice appeared on evening show Access Hollywood to explain her comments.

She said: "She's large. She admits herself that she has a fat blank, blank, blank, referring to her derriere - she publicly admits it.

"I'm not criticizing Tyra, I was not criticizing her. It's the truth. She publicly claims she loves to get down on a bunch of waffles. Ms Banks is a wonderful lady and this is a big brouhaha over nothing."



Janice supports a Toy Drive for St. Jude Children's Hospital at the David Barton Gym.

Tyra Banks Dumps Manager for Being the Diva

Tyra Banks has sacked her manager for allegedly being a bigger diva than she
is.

The talk show host has parted ways from Benny Medina of Handprint
Entertainment and insiders say her decision came after he "forgot who the
star was".

A source told the New York Daily News newspaper: "His perk list is bigger
than hers. Everything from private jets and votive candles that the staff
has to light before he gets to the set. He forgot who the star was."

Medina had a bitter legal battle with Jennifer Lopez when she fired him as
her manager, but he insists his split from Tyra is amicable.

In a joint statement, Medina said: "Tyra Banks is a highly regarded artist,
entrepreneur and producer, and I respect her vision for developing her own
bankable brand.

"Tyra and Handprint Entertainment look forward to the opportunity to work
together on existing or new ventures. This is a great thing for everyone
involved."

Some have speculated Tyra's latest decision was heavily influenced by her
new boyfriend, investment banker John Utendahl, for whom she recently
uprooted her talk show to New York.

But a source close to the former model denied her lover was involved in the
split, saying: "John had nothing to do with this."
