Is Tyra Banks Engaged?

A recent paparazzi photo of Tyra Banks shows the model sporting a rock so big it should be in a cocktail. She was enjoying a Saturday lunch with boyfriend John Utendahl, wearing a previously-unseen ring on her left ring finger.

The gem could just be a ringer, but it could be the real thing. She’ll probably wait to spring the news on her show.

Tyra Banks Threatens to Sue Cancer Survivor

Posted by Kathleen Kane Categories: Television, Style, Charity, Kind Acts, Legal Issues

Tyra Banks worshippers may be a bit shocked this week to discover that their beloved supermodel-turned-entrepreneur may be suing a stage four cervical cancer survivor.

The mother of two, thirty-nine year-old Jodi Hughes, was both thrilled and surprised to find out that her two sons had won her a makeover spot on Tyra’s “Holiday Girl Party!” episode. Not only was the makeover a real letdown consisting of nothing more than a new dress and hair weave, but Hughes claims that producers would not allow her two sons (one of whom is blind) to enter the building, leaving them with no supervision or care while she received her “makeover.”

Furthermore, Hughes had to have the weave surgically removed due to an infection it caused on her scalp; all of the hair she grew completely gone after having undergone chemotherapy for years.

Hughes has asked nothing more from Banks and her team but an apology—she has not requested any monetary compensation for her mistreatment. However, Tyra showed her love towards Hughes when she threatened a lawsuit for violating her gag-order, which prevents her from talking about the show.

Someone told her that she definitely isn’t the next Oprah, right?
