tyra banks really is trying to be the next oprah. the former model announced today that, like winfey, this would be the last year of her eponymous talk show. the thing i don't think tyra understands is that, to be the next oprah, you can't just copy her step-by-step. tyra's show will end its run this may after 5 years. oprah is ending her show in 2011 after 25. that's a bit of a discrepancy, tyra. banks is reportedly stepping away from her emmy award-winning program to begin work on bankable studios, a new film company the star has apparently been very eager to begin. tyra cites tyler perry's films (like the "madea" series) as inspiration for the female empowerment flicks she intends to make. my only question is, why can't tyra do both her talk show and run a production company? i mean, oprah is doing it. it seems rather fishy that banks would leave the airways the same year oprah announces she'll be leaving a gaping hole in the world of daytime. my guess is that banks may have struck a deal with oprah's new oprah winfrey network. the fact that she cites perry, one of oprah's bffs, as an inspiration only adds more fuel to the fire. but, don't worry. even if tyra isn't set to pop up on own, she will still be popping up on your tv screens as she sees no end to america's next top model anytime soon. i would have pulled the plug on that show before the talk show. i understand going out on top, but why with just a 5 year blip on the tv landscape?
