Is Tyra Banks leaving the hosting position of America’s Next Top Model?

That’s the question being asked this morning in an article by MSNBC citing OK! Magazine.

The article claims that Banks is putting full energy behind her talk show now (which I love!) and that she might be heading to have a new host take the healm of her ANTM.Says MNSBC: “There’s been no shortage of tales about Tyra Banks’ personality conflicts on the set of “America’s Next Top Model,” but the latest might be the most interesting since it could have a lasting impact on the show. OK! magazine reports that Banks isn’t getting along with photo shoot creative director Jay Manuel, and her days on the show could be numbered.” OH MY!

ANTM without Banks hosting?

Says MSNBC: ” “It’s gotten so bad that Tyra and Jay aren’t speaking,” an insider told OK! magazine. The selective silent treatment isn’t limited to Manuel, either. “Tyra barely interacts with the contestants and only wants to show up on judging day,” the source told the magazine. Net result? Banks (who wouldn’t comment on the rumors) might be looking for a new supermodel to helm ANTM. “She’s really throwing all her weight behind her talk show,” according to a source familiar with “The Tyra Banks Show.” “She’s putting lots of pressure on her staff to keep her show on the map.”
