No Banks… Just Call Her “Tyra”

Much like Cher or Madonna, Ms Tyra Banks has decided to drop her last name and go by — Tyra! She made the announcement while on The Ellen DeGeneres Show saying, “Okay, I have officially dropped the Banks from Tyra on theEllen show.” So she wants to be mononymous? You know what, let’s just let her.

This is the woman who made “smiling with your eyes” (on America’s Next Top Model) the most terrifying exercise ever. This is the woman who introduced the bald hotness that isNigel Barker as the “noted fashion photographer” to us. This is the woman who made the world sit up and take notice of Miss J — runway diva extraordinaire. This is the woman who got her boobs felt up on national television because they’re REAL.

But more importantly, this is the woman who got Robert Pattinson to bite her on the neck live in front of a studio audience. It was the most brilliantly embarrassing thing we have ever seen. And we’re jealous. So yeah … if the woman wants to be just “Tyra”, it’s fine by us lady.
