About magical models.

I shit you not.

There is not a big enough fail tag to put on this thread. And you just KNOW that she's going to compare herself to the greats when she's "done" writing this stupid piece of crap.

Tyra is a narcissistic cancer on the anus of humanity's existence.

Oh for the love of... a fantasy novel about models? Modelland? Intoxibellas? Come on, can't you even make up decent names?

Jaysus Humperdinck Christ, why can't anybody tell these people not to write?

Oh I am so reading this. Tyra's narcissism never fails to entertain me.

It would be hilarious to me if her book turns out to actually be good.

It'll be like Gary Gygax's piece of shit novels.

Wait...a fantasy about models. If there are necromancers involved, I'll sue her for millions.

Please, please let there be necromancers involved.

Tyra whyyyyy
I confess, I do love the train wreck that is Top Model. It's my guilty pleasure! But her talk show was indeed the Tyra Show, as it was always about her... I could not watch it. She talks about herself enough on Top Model, as is. Why does she have to dabble in everything? She had a short stint as a singer, there's a top model video game, now books... Eww.

There's a video game? :wtf:

That quote annoys me to no end. Maybe it's because I already see her as very self-centered, but it just screams the "me me me!" attitude that people already hate her for.

NO.... just.... no.

Pfft.

I think you meant George Romero, mr_thehun.

That annoys me and I've never really seen any of her stuff (top model or whatever).

That "me me me" attitude is pretty much the best way to sum her up. I remember a few years ago she gained weight and suddenly knew how all the poor little fat kids around the world. She was crying on her show about the poor overweight women who get made fun of, now that she was one of them. Bitch gained maybe 10 lb. It was obnoxious and melodramatic and very much HER.

’m so EXCITED!! I said I was going to do it, and here it is! It’s for all the girls and guys who want a lot more FANTASY in their lives… and some fierceness and magic, romance and mystery, crazy and wild adventures, and yeah, some danger too. It’s my novel called Modelland (pronounced “Model Land”)

Thanks for clearin that up there, Tyra.

you wish you could do what she does?

I'd call that "hell" myself.

This'll be about as successful as comics starring and co-written by professional wrestlers.

In other words, not at all.

We can only hope that this book turns into something as hilariously batshit INSANE as the Warrior comic.

Though I HEAVILY doubt it.

The problem is, she was a model and she got rich. She had enough money to have her own shows and spit a book out... Because she can. I admit I wonder what I would try to do if I has the money to get away with it... No matter how good or bad I was at it. But it just burns my ass how much attention she gets when people who ARE better than her go unnoticed.

"If she doesn't deserve attention then why are you talking about her?" Because I'm human and this is an appropriate venue for ranting.

I loved it when she complained that no one rushed to her aid when she pretended she had rabies.

I just hope that the hero of Modelland has the magical ability to throw pagers and cellphones with great force (fierce.)

If you haven't seen Linkara's review of the Warrior comics, stop what you're doing now and go to Channel Awesome.

Well, she is doing a lot of things we wish we could do. Maybe we should spend less time hating her and more time just being better than her.

Done.

Now, back to bitching!

That's how I learned about the existence of these gems. Thanks anyway

I had no idea this woman was... I guess I'd say popular? I mean, I've heard of her in passing here or there, but I never realized this was a celebrity.

On the book thing- egads, what a terrible idea. Awful. No good will come of it, except maybe the dismal sales which may lead to Tyra having a nice cold splash of reality to knock down that Zaphod Beeblebrox level of narcissism.

It's like the BBC is stalking this forum: BBC News - Are celebrity children's books any good?

It's the BBC. I believe they moderate their comments. In addition, the British are just more cultured than we in the US.

(sips tea).

Indubitably, good sir.

If I hear Tyra use the word "fierce" once more... I think my brain will implode...

It didn't over a year ago?

Amazing will power my friend.

It's proabably because I totally ignore her anytime I hear her talking about abything because she always uses the word fierce for EVERYTHING and it pisses me off.

Also, her book idea sounds TERRIBLE!!! WTF is a toxibella? Gak!

Your anger is so fierce Azure.

GARBLEARGLEBLARGLEARRRGGHHHHH!!!!!

Wow... I just laughed real loud at work here and people are staring. That poster sums up my thoughts on this topic perfectly
