Tyra Banks Gets TV Deal Throws Baby Shower
Posted on January 30, 2008 at 1:37 pm (PST)
Tyra Banks just threw a $6,000 worth of presents baby shower for Jessica Alba, and Jessica barely cracked a smile. However, Jessica did reveal her breast cup size went from a 32B to a 34D, so now there’s two more reasons not to look at Jessica’s frown.
Tyra has a million more reasons to keep smiling. She just inked another TV deal. Here’s more:
Tyra Banks has signed a deal with the CW to create a new reality show that’s being described as The Devil Wears Prada meets The Apprentice. “It is a competition show about aspiring assistants looking to become assistant editors at a fashion magazine,” producer Ken Mok said. The show, which is still looking for a high-fashion magazine to host the series, is aiming to hit the airwaves this spring and will most likely act as a companion piece to cycle 11 of America’s Next Top Model.
Each episode will see the Andy Sachs-wannabes creating a page for “The Book” (a mock-up of the magazine’s next issue) with the losing team kicking off a member. The eventual winner will land an as-yet-unnamed job in the fashion industry. Also yet to be seen is how closely the show will adhere to the movie’s plot, but fingers crossed for a makeover challenge, lots of size 6 jokes and trip to Paris Fashion Week, where inevitably the girls will throw their Sidekicks into the nearest fountain just to really drive the point home.
Tyra is like Oprah 2.0, only fewer tears.

Well duh!!! Alba can afford her own stuff and being a first time mom probably wanted to pick out her own things. And if Tyra had half an unscripted brain she would have donated the items to needy moms-to-be on behalf of Alba.
