Over the weekend, Tyra Banks attended the White House Correspondents dinner and she looked amazing!  At the annual event, the White House Correspondents’ Association presented awards to journalists but it was the humor of Wanda Sykes and the speech from President Barack Obama that has everyone talking. 

Sykes is known for her off-color jokes (no pun intended) but it’s quite another thing when she is poking fun at the president and First Lady.  I was seriously almost in tears laughing.  Watch this video:

There was a huge number of celebrities on hand (many of them gasping and/or laughing through Wanda Sykes’ monologue).  Here are some more pictures:

Rapper, Ludacris, brought talk show host, Tyra Banks, some mistletoe in an effort to warm up his interview.  Tyra is no dummy and set her own rules about how things were going to go down.  It was funny (and even a little awkward).  Watch the moment here:

Tyra Banks and John Utendahl (the two have been rumored to be dating since last year) were spotted grabbing some dinner at BLT Market in the Midtown area of New York City (the menu looked pretty yummy, especially the desserts!).  John is the founder and owner of Utendahl Group which is the “largest African American-owned investment banking organization in the United States.”  Something tells me that he can afford to take her out to dinner which is a good thing since it’s one of those places that doesn’t list the prices on the menu (can you imagine!?).

She looks good, I guess, but I’m not digging her makeup.

Do any of your watch The Biggest Loser?  It’s one of my favorite shows - it’s got drama, tears, controversy, betrayal, alliances but, best of all, it’s about weight loss and adopting a healthy lifestyle.  It’s so inspiring to watch these people go through a transformational journey, not just based on their weight, but also emotionally and interpersonally. 

Every season, they have a "makeover" episode where the contestants get to shed their workout clothes and get into outfits to fit their brand-new bodies!  It’s really exciting!

This year, Tyra Banks, talk show host and creator of America’s Next Top Model, will be on the makeover show along with Project Runway winner, Christian Siriano. 

I will definitely be tuning in for that!

Twilight stars Taylor Lautner (Jacob Black) and Robert Pattinson (Edward Cullen) dropped by the set of the Tyra Banks Show and things got… well… a little frisky! 

Ever the bold one, Tyra asked Rob to do what most Twilight fans would love to - she asked him to bite her neck!  Guess what?  HE DID!!!! 

The episode, which airs on November 28, 2008, will feature the male cast members of Twilight, the female cast of The Clique, and rapper Eve!  Make sure you tune in!!!

Tyra Banks attended the after-party for the 2008 Glamour Awards in New York City and I’m guessing the fans and bystanders were not impressed when the talk show host/supermodel refused to stop to greet the crowd.  One person even yelled "you’re fat" as she walked by!  Can you believe that?

Anyway, what do you think of her look?  I don’t like that dress at all!  It’s so oppressing!  No real neckline or shape - just a lot of black fabric!

Have you seen Tyra Banks on the cover of Ebony?  She looks incredible!!!  She sat down with the magazine to talk about her meteoric rise to fame, not just as a supermodel, but as a businesswoman, producer and talk show host.

While I love reading about success, it’s even better to hear that people are doing well and remembering to take care of those who have helped them (and continue to help) along the way.  Tyra has a reputation for taking good care of her employees: “I gotta take care of my people” she said and I could not agree more.  Nothing is worse to me than a celebrity who treats their assistants or workers poorly.  I’m glad to know that Tyra isn’t like that!

It was an exciting day on the Tyra Banks Show today when she was visited by two of the hottest male celebrities right now!  She sat down with rapper, 50 Cent, who had some interesting things to say!

On his nickname "Fitty:" “Sharon Osbourne, she actually started ‘Fitty.’ She said that on the MTV Awards and it was just my new name.”

On how his weight gain led to the Vitamin Water deal: "I was training for my presentation for The Massacre album. I was traveling and I was eating a lot of fast food so I kind of got a little heavy.  I was trying to find a substitute for soda and I came across it [vitamin water] actually in a gym in Los Angeles…It just worked out…I did pretty good.”

On child support and the custody of his son: "She took bad information to heart. At one point I was providing her a half a million dollars a year with out any court being involved…I’m really only responsible for him and that is what she found out after I was taken to court. Her friend told her in New York state law you’re entitled to 17% but that’s up until $80,000…She looked at the Forbes and goes, ‘You robbing me… My son, he’s so much like me.  I have to be careful with how I express how I feel about that because I’m talking about his mother.”

On being in the spotlight: "I’ve been blessed not to be in a space where I’m overwhelmed with the success.  I think it’s a fair trade in exchange for not worrying about the light bill I have people ask me to sign pieces of paper and it doesn’t bother me very much. When someone wants to take my picture and I don’t want my picture taken it’s fine. I say to myself that there will be a point where no one’s taking my picture and I’ll be upset about it.”

Seann William Scott was also on the show where he revealed he’s a huge fan of America’s Next Top Model.  He said: "Huge fan…I haven’t been caught up on this season but my favorite season is CariDee and Melrose…It’s awesome just because it’s entertaining and the girls are crazy.”

He also explained that he dated models in the past and believes that many of them are very insecure.   I had to laugh when he said “don’t you think models are a little cuckoo for coco puffs?”

On using duct tapes for love scenes on film: "You have to pull like a buffalo bill. Remember, Buffalo Bill tucks his penis between his legs…I use duct tape…It’s part of my craft…I’m a bald eagle now.”
