Love her or hate her, you’ve got to admit there’s a certain poetry to the way Tyra Banks will do just about anything for ratings — whether it’s going undercover as a homeless person, freaking out over the virtues of Vaseline, or enduring an on-air breast examination (not to check for lumps, of course, but rather to prove that hers are 100% real!). Now, mind you, I didn’t say it was high-quality poetry — as this barely clad sneak-preview of today’s panty-party episode of The Tyra Banks Show pointedly illustrates — but then again, if Tyra can help all of us to better understand what real women are wearing underneath their clothes (and educate us about "the dangers of your underwear"), won’t that make this crazy, messed-up world a better place? No? OK, then, there’s always "Meth Face Makeovers" to look forward to on Thursday. Seriously. Poetry, PopWatchers, poetry.

Tyra strips because she cares. Or something.

I don’t care what people say. Someday I’ll get to say to Tyra, in public, “Hey Tyra, you left your toothbrush over at my place again”.
While we’re at it, I’d also like a pony…
As campy as Tyra can be at times, you gotta give it to this girl, she knows business. I saw clips of her “panty party” and it’s such a rip off of what Oprah would do; but nobody has done it better than Tyra.
Tyra has brought back the ghetto to morning talk shows.
If Tyra really cared she wouldn’t strip. If she really, really cared, she’d just go the hell away.

i hate to say it but i’d probably do the same only i’d try not to be so annoying
I need to start watching this show
she’s probably stripping to prove she’s really not as chunky as she appears on ANTM…is that mean?
They haven’t cancelled this yet?
this is a great guilty pleasure at night…i like that her tears seem sincere unlike a certain media mogul who just seems cold inside.
maybe i’ll have my own panty party in her honor!
I can’t help it, I love Tyra. There’s just something about her that is so incredibly real (and it’s not just the boobs). She makes me smile.
She’s stripping because she cares about me (I can tell). She stripped so that there’d be something in the NY Post next to the article about OJ, which nauseates me, to give me some hope for the world. Thank you, Tyra. Thank you for showing you care.
Thank you Lora for saying exactly what I was thinking as I read this post!!
I thought the same, she is trying to dispel the comments she’s chubbed out lately on ANTM.
Poor Tyra, it must so exhausting to live in her narcistic head all day long.
Maybe it’s just me but…no matter what or how little Tyra wears, girlfriend still looks like a man in drag.
It’s not the extra weight that’s been bothering me lately on ANTM and I doubt it’s bothering her all that much since she’s always been proud of being larger than most models. Besides she’s probably what? A size 8 now? I just wish she’d lose the bouffant wigs and the makeup slathered on with a trowel. And the ugly clothes.
Tyra stripping down to her underwear on TV?
I’m already there– you can Banks on it.
