'Showbiz
Tonight' host Brooke Anderson
talked to 'CNN Heroes' tribute
presenter
Tyra Banks on Thursday (December
6), where the former supermodel
turned
talk show host said, "I think we
live in a society right now
especially
with youth that are obsessed
with fame. So, if you can see
that if you
help people, you know you can
get highlight. You don`t have to
like be
some starlet in a movie.
Actually, giving can give you
some accolades too.
I think it is a good message. I
don't think that's what the
message is
for you guys, but I'm just
thinking about young people in
their heads.
And I can see them being
encouraged tonight because of
that." Asked who
her hero is, Banks responded, "I
have to say my mother is my
hero. Without
that woman - I mean, she gave up
so much of her life to support
me when
I was a model in the crazy
fashion world. And she's kept me
sane, and a
pretty decent person. So she
definitely is my hero. She is."

she ever purchased pornography?
"To be
honest, my friend and I used to
go to that Hustler store on
Sunset. No
disguise or anything," she
confessed. "We just walked
around and laughed
and pointed to stuff. Like, 'Oh
my! Look how big that is!'" Read

Tyra
Banks sent out a message to fans
on November 2nd about her show
on vaginas.
"OK, ever since the first season
of the Tyra show - I always
pitched my
producers the idea of doing an
entire show on the VAGINA," she
writes.
"I had no problem talking about
it and thought it would be a
really important
show for women's health. I was
lucky my mama was always open
about vaginal
health and told me from an early
age WHAT'S UP DOWN THERE! I can
speak
about it comfortably. But for
some reason - my producers
always said, "No
Tyra. Not Now. It's too
controversial." When I'm told
"No" it makes me
try harder....so FINALLY, in my
third year on the air I finally
pushed
through the show I always wanted
to do. Honestly, I don't know
why women
are so uncomfortable talking
about their vagina. I have women
on my show
who have NEVER gone to the
gynecologist. With std's,
ovarian cancer and
so many health issues involving
your vagina, you've got to take
control
and put your health first." The
show aired Monday (November 5).
