Tyra told to drop pounds

This story is so unlikely to be true, but I'm posting it because if it is for real, it's beyond shocking. According to media reports, the CW network has told reality and talk show host Tyra Banks to lose weight, citing ratings as their justification. A producer for the network told mediatakeout.com, "Tyra still looks good, but she's put on close to 50 pounds since starting her talk show...things are really getting out of control. I mean, she doesn't have the greatest personality, so if she starts getting too heavy, it could be a real problem for the show. Whey you see [Tyra] next to the girls on the show, you realize how much weight she's put on...it's almost ridiculous."
