Tyra Banks isn't getting fat. She's 'expanding the definition of beauty'

Tyra Banks at the 2011 Teen Choice Awards in Universal City (8/7)

I've heard some bullshit spin before, but this is just ridiculous. "I'm expanding the definition of beauty" is just code for "I love cheeseburgers but don't like exercise." Tyra Banks told Life & Style that she's actually happy that she's getting fat:
"I'm proud of my curves and my butt and my bust and my thicker thighs. I didn't like myself that small [after I lost weight in 2006], so I gained back some weight," she tells Life & Style.

Now she stays active without obsessing and eats what she wants in moderation. In her new book, Modelland, out Sept. 13, Tyra says, "The message is really about expanding the definition of beauty."
This sounds exactly like the last time Tyra put on some weight. She went on and on about how "proud of her curves" she was and how she liked the extra pounds. Then a few months later she reappeared on her show all skinny again saying how unhealthy that extra weight had been. Which is it Tyra? You can't have your cake and eat it too -- that's what got you in this predicament in the first place. Mmmm, having cake and eating it, too . . .

    She HAS gotten fatTER. Does that make her "fat"? I think it depends what you're comparing her to. On a dating site, from the pics Ive seen, I would have to put her on the low end of the "few extra pounds" category or the real upper end of average but thats pushing it. One things for sure, only women get away with talking about their fat as "sexy curves". Fat men all know its just fat.

  • Roisin

    I actually find it disturbing that ANYONE could look at this woman, who's on the SLIM side of HEALTHY, and call her fat. No wonder eating disorders are such a rampant problem these days.

    Most cop ladies don't look as good in that outfit as Tyra does.

  • Falcon

    I don't know if she fights crime, but I think she has played a crime fighter, or maybe she attended a police convention somewhere.

  • James

    She looks good to me. Curves in all the right places.

  • Hawk

    Does she fight crime in that outfit?

  • TZZ

    That outfit, or one like it, is supposed to be a favorit of undercover lady cops.

  • Buffy

    More people die from overeating obesity than from healthy eating.

  • Bob

    @Buffy,

    Only an anorexic would say such pathetic filth... You need mental help for your anorexia before it kills you.

  • Buffy

    She looks like a hippo and is taking food out the mouths of the starving. She is a poor example for the world's women. Well she is an example of greedy overeating.

  • bagladey

    She looks great, she's not fat at all.

  • Joanna

    If that's fat, sign me up for her program. She looks gorgeous!

  • Harry

    Is that a Tranny???

  • MacKenzie Hawkins

    Curves=good. Flat=bad

    Her body is the epitome of "more than a mouthful"!! Would love to get a bite.

  • STD
