What can’t this diva do?! Super media mogul and model Tyra Banks has defied the “dumb model” stereotype, and has expanded her glamor empire beyond the shiny runways of New York, Milan and Paris.

The daring diva is a producer, talk show host, singer, and now, writer. She’s grabbed a three book partnership with publishing giant Random House, and launched a new division of her media empire called: Bankable Books.

Tyra’s new book is called “Modelland” and is a fantasy story about a make-believe place where gorgeous “intoxibella” models have “special powers.” A young girl and her friends invade this magical land, but they’re not supposed to be there. And, as you can imagine, chaos will probably ensue.

Stay tuned for its release!

Tyra Banks announced that after five years on the air, she’s ending her talkshow, “The Tyra Show,” in 2011. According to the Associated Press, Miss Tyra is refocusing her attention on her perennially successful reality show “America’s Next Top Model,” which is now in it’s fourteenth season.

The announcement comes on the heels of another talkshow queen who made her end-date announcement for 2011, also: Oprah Winfrey.

Don’t worry about Tyra giving up her media mogul crown!

Tyra has alluded to a mysterious “digital project” that is sure to redefine and reframe the role of younger women-of-color in technology, film, and media, including the impact and accessibility of how that demographic is presented.  Here’s how Tyra’s and Oprah’s web ratings compare…!
