When the news first started to circulate that Tyra was going to have a talk show I thought "Another cookie cutter show following the likes of Oprah, Dr Phil or even Ricki Lake" I was pleasantly surprised to see her show is refreshing. She really puts herself on the spot by doing show's confronting Naomi Campbell, taking on the issue of interracial couples and dressing up and going undercover as a man. She doesn't just see if the shoe fits she wears them and what seemingly is good enough for the audience to experience is good enough for her too. (One show she stripped her self down to her under- wear not to flaunt but to show young women who fall prey to eating-disorders and image problems her physical flaws). Another original advantage to her show is the guest and audience member's get the chance to "Sashay Shawntae" down the isle with the opportunity to feel like a super model for the day. One of my favorite shows was where she dressed as a man. Managing to look plenty alluring as a man as she does as a woman. Curses!

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Last year, Tyra Banks donned heavy padding to experience the world as a 350-pound woman. Now the talk-show host has gone undercover as a man in a rapper's posse.

Banks, 32, was stripped of her supermodel looks to become a guy for an episode of "The Tyra Banks Show" that is set to air November 13.

"I actually had a suit thing that went over me that made me have pecs and, like, a six-pack," Banks, who underwent five hours of preparation for the transformation, told AP Radio in a recent interview.

"And I was so muscular that it covered all of that breast tissue underneath it. We had to give me like, a heavier brow bone and a man's chin and bone structure."

Though she became manly enough to infiltrate Chingy's entourage, her voice was a giveaway.

"Chingy kept saying that my voice was way too high and I had to fix it, so I would go, like, 'You know, what's up? ... You know, you lookin' kinda good,' " said Banks, speaking in a low, gruff tone.

Banks' get-up fooled a young woman, who gave her a bit of a surprise.

"She kissed me," Banks said. "I was like, 'Oh my gosh, that was really weird.' She ran up and kissed me 'cause she thought that kissing me would get her closer to Chingy." (2007 Celebpeeps)
