Tyra Banks is confusing: she was confusing when she was still working as a model a couple of years ago, because she was so unbelievably gorgeous, and she is still confusing now. After stripping to her bra and having a plastic surgeon on the set of her show to prove to the entire world that she did not have implants, Tyra is now willing to take the next logical step: she will strip to her underwear to prove she's not fat.

Last month, a couple of very unflattering photos of the former model turned talk show host surfaced into the media, accompanied by comments that couldn't but make her feel bad. They were later picked up and spread all over the Internet under the heading 'Tyra Banks Is Fat', the biggest lie that ever was, according to her.

Tyra is now willing to strip to her bikini to prove the tabloids that she hasn't gained that much weight because, she says, never in her life had a couple of words hurt her so bad. 'I've made millions of dollars with the body I have, so where's the pain in that? If I was in pain, I would have dieted. The pain is not there - the pain is someone printing a picture of me and saying those [horrible] things', she told 'People' magazine.

Thus she engages in a bitter battle that she can't possibly win. The point is that, even if she goes on with her plan of stripping, the media won't be silenced. Especially as she manages to contradict herself during the same interview: she also told 'People' that she now weighs around 161 pounds, having gained almost 30 pounds in the last year. And, yes, some clothes don't fit her anymore.

'I still feel hot, but every day is different. It's when I put on the jeans that used to fit a year ago and don't fit now and give me the muffin top, that's when I say, "Damn!"', Tyra explained. In other words, don't call Tyra fat (it's not nice and it hurts her feelings), even if she says she is. I say: better yet, let her strip if she really wants to! What is there to lose?
