Somebody please tell Tyra Banks that the best way to go undercover and unnoticed in Los Angeles is NOT to dress in head to toe BLACK with a hat and sunglasses – especially on a warm day. Tyra MIGHT have been caught going out to lunch with a new boyfriend (he looks like a sexy TV handyman) and she was hoping to keep it under wraps, but her outfit was a dead giveaway.

We’ve been increasingly suspicious about Tyra Banks’ claims that she recently graduated from Harvard Business School. Since she never got a bachelor’s degree from any college, how did she get into Harvard to pursue an MBA? Turns out, she didn’t. Jezebel exposed her exaggeration. Actually Tyra didn’t get a diploma- she got a certificate of completion for finishing a nine week non-degree EXTENSION business course which has NO requirements for formal education and does not count toward any type of degree. An MBA takes qualification and two years of studying. Tyra IS smart, but she didn’t graduate from Harvard.

Tyra Banks, 38, and rapper Drake, 25, were caught on camera by a sneaky fan at Disneyland where they playfully rode the rollercoaster and ate frozen yogurt together. Tyra split with her wall street mogul boyfriend John Utendahl, 51, in December after nearly four years together. She was SO in love with John that she uprooted her now defunct talk show and moved it to New York to be close to him. Naturally her staffers were distraught. John’s finances took a turn for the worse in 2010, but Tyra prospered with her production company. Now she’s just having some fun.
Tyra Banks hasn’t even moved into the New York apartment she’s renovating and her neighbors are already sick to death of her. Tyra bought four apartments in her building for 10 million dollars and she’s combining them into one large duplex on the 22 and 23rd floors, so it’s a BIG job. The work is 6 months past schedule and neighbors are in despair over the deafening drilling and banging etc. Tyra is eager to move in because she’s ready to start a family. She says she is actively trying to get pregnant with her boyfriend, investment banker John Utendahl. (It was rumored that she moved her talk show from LA to New York to be closer to John) So far no marriage plans, however.

Tyra Banks stopped traffic on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills yesterday where she was filming an episode for “America’s Next Top Model.” It was a dance themed segment so the girls were all over the place. Tyra observed the proceedings in her “Gangsta Girl” high waisted pinstripe pants, necktie, and fedora.
What does David Hasselhoff have in common with Tyra Banks? When they got canned, they both claimed it was THEIR IDEA to leave. Although Tyra’s talk show was CANCELLED, she insisted she quit. And David Hasselhoff’s contract was not renewed on “America’s Got Talent” because of his drunken behavior. Insiders say David was shocked because the show was his main source of income, and he cooked up the alibi of “developing his own show” to cover up the truth. It’s too bad, but this probably won’t push David into giving up drinking either.
Sure, she’d like you to think she’s walking away – but Tyra GOT CANCELLED. On Monday she called her staffers together for a meeting and made the announcement that the show was cancelled. Tyrannical Tyra does NOT treat her employees well like Oprah does- they were the last to know. She’s always given them chintzy Christmas gifts and this year they got pink slips. She told everyone to get their resumes together. An insider told us the show was cancelled simply because it cost too much – it never recovered financially from the move from LA to NY that Tyra insisted on, plus Tyra’s salary was huge.
Two years ago, Tyra Banks was photographed looking hefty in a bathing suit and on her show she defiantly told the world to “kiss my fat ass!” Well, it’s not so fat any more. Chubby fans might not be pleased to know that Tyra has pared off 30 pounds since that dramatic day and she’s very pleased with herself. Tyra is looking very natural in this recent photo of her in the East Village – with no apparent make up and what looks like her own hair.
In this photo taken on the “Gossip Girl” set, Tyra Banks looks more like her figure in the wax museum than herself. Maybe it’s the hair – or the vacant eyes – something about her is unworldly. She’s appearing on the series as an actress who gets into a catfight with Blake Lively’s character Serena at a movie premier. Talk show host Tyra loves to act, and does it whenever she gets the chance.

Like everyone else on New Year’s Day, Tyra Banks had to hunt for a place to eat because most restaurants were closed. She and her boyfriend John Utendahl left their Santa Monica hotel and drove to four or five restaurants before they found a place open: Barney’s Gourmet Hamburgers. By then she was starving, and Tyra reportedly devoured a gourmet burger and curly fries.
