Tyra Banks is mad at tabloids

Tyra Banks was understandably hurt and surprised by the unflattering photographs of her in a swimming costume that appeared on the internet recently.

"It was such a strange meaness and rejoicing that people had when thinking that was what my body looked like," said the former model, who now presents her own chat show as well as America's Next Top Model and says her weight has fluctuated from between 148lbs (10 stone), and 162lbs (11.5 stone), since retiring from the catwalk.

"I don't want to sit in front of you and be soap-baxy and fake and say, "I love myself, I'm beautiful, it's great," adds the 5ft 10'' star. "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!'"

Admitting that she doesn't have to "live up to that model standard anymore," Banks says she "isn't the healthiest eater" and she can't believe people could be so unkind. "I've made millions of dollars with the body I have, so where's the pain in that," she says. "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 things."
