Tyra Banks Has Decided To End Her Talk Show!





Details below:


Tyra Banks is ending her daytime TV talk show.

The supermodel-turned-TV-mogul told People that she will wrap up her talk show at the end of its current season – its fifth — this coming spring.

“This will be the last season of ‘The Tyra Show,’” Tyra told the mag. “I’ve been loving having fun, coming into your living rooms, bedrooms [and] hair salons for the past five years.”

Instead of sitting down to talk to guests on a daily basis, Tyra will shift her focus to Bankable Studios, a film production company based in New York. The mag reported that the company is taking a look at potential projects to produce.

“My next huge steps will allow me to reach more women and young girls to help us all feel as fierce as we truly are,” Tyra said.

Like her television show, Bankable will seek to bring “positive images of women to the big screen,” a source told the mag. And Tyra hopes to have Bankable work on “redefining beauty for women in film,” the source added.

“With Oprah’s big announcement this year, I think that gave Tyra the confidence to get out there and follow her longtime dream of film producing,” the source said, referencing Oprah’s news that she will leave “The Oprah Winfrey Show” in September 2011 to concentrate on OWN, the Oprah Winfrey Network.

Tyra will stay committed, however, to her longtime reality competition, “America’s Next Top Model,” which recently crowned its first petite model winner, Nicole Fox. The show will return in 2010 with its 14th season.
