TYRA BANKS “BLACK HISTORY” PHOTO SHOOT

Old Cover vs. New Cover (photoshop anyone?)
As we posted last week, Tyra Banks has decided to celebrate Black History by re-doing her famous Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover. For those of you who don’t know, Tyra was the first African-American to grace the cover of the magazine.

If you watch the show, you have probably been hearing about this for weeks, since she is steady talking about herself everyDAMNday. Anyway, here are the some of the photos from the shoot, and let’s just say someone was fucking around in photoshop for that new cover. You ain’t got to lie Tyra, you ain’t got to lie!!

  3. I do like TYRA, but she does need to get over the whole “TABLOIDS calling her FAT” thing. Okay, you gained a little WEIGHT boo, we get it. She still looks good, so what the HELL is the BIG deal?

    TYRA, you spent your ENTIRE career living off of RICE CAKES and FIG LEAVES, now your RETIRED. Your FREE!!….BITE the HELL out that PORKCHOP!!

  8. nikko

  9. Lekkar

    What’s up with the grey hair?

  10. kaykay

    Yeah I was #1 bitches (Just playing) lol

    I thought she was going to do the pose exactly the same! wtf

  11. Tyra looks great but I do think they touched up those photos to make her look thinner she should have showed the curves she is blessed with not be ashamed of it.I know her thighs are much thicker than that.She still looks just as good as she did 10 years ago.Go Tyra!

  12. Whats Love

    These photos look like stills from a horror film..Her first shoot was sexy; now she’s trying to be all fierce (she looks POSESSED in all these dahm photos!)

  13. It seems like more people hate on Tyra on this site than anywhere else online. Stop the hate! Yes, Tyra can be annoying as HELL and CRAZY as hell too (that damn Vaseline giveout on her show… WTF?)but DAMN… every single move she make, she get scrutinized for it. She can’t do a photoshoot for Black History Month? I mean she WAS the FIRST black woman to be on the cover of the damn magazine… that IS Black History!

    10 years later and she STILL look sexy. Do ya thing Tyra!

    And LMAO @ Number 4.

  14. Marcus

    Everybody Knows Tyra’s Hot….Plus She Looks Like Ciara In Her Rendition Of Her First Shoot

  15. Bren

    I agree #14 she look like that girl from the ring 2

  16. Whats Love

    POSeSSed, but Gorgeous still!! Now that she can afford to pay someone to intensify the green in her eyes

  17. Whats Love

    lol @ all these photos..Tyra looks Crazy as Hell…like she just got released from the psych ward yesterday…

  18. MiMi

    Can someone help me out…are these photos in the issue with Beyonce? or is this a new issue?

  19. MissEnvied

    TWENTY is My Number!….For her age…She looks great contrary to what the media says! She makes 161 lbs. look GREAT!

  20. MissEnvied

    Darn…thought I had 20 lol

  21. Whats Love

    Sports Illustrated is about bringing the sex appeal and she (more than anyone) knows that..why is she giving them British Vogue poses (aka. looking like you forget to take the meds)

  22. CHILDS

    Can we be honest and admit the fact that Beyonce was trying to be like Tyra in the SI 2007 Issue? I mean really she wore bathing suits that were similar to Tyra’s the whole being on the beach and wearing wet wavy hair…I mean come on..straight up copying Tyra all the way. I’m sorry but hands down to Tyran because no matter what Tyra got that SI photos on lock. Love her…she sometimes annoys me…but i love her…that’s my girl…

  23. Southern Belle

    I’m not hating on Tyra but if she really is proud of her curves, then why did she photoshop the hell out of the recent photos. Sorry, but that doesn’t make sense.

    I mean, she looks damn near identical to the photo 10 years ago, and we all know that’s BS. If she really wants to impower women and all that other crap she was saying on her show, then be real. Show your true self. I’ll respect you more for it.
    Just my opinion…

  24. MadPet

    The first one looks better. The second one just doesn’t look right. It doesn’t even look real. They really need to cut down on some of that photoshopping. It makes the pictures look fake. It steals the realness away from the photos. I don’t think the photographers were photoshopping that much when she took the first pictures. If you take away the shadows, the lines in her body, and some of her real complexion, you got nothing but fake photos.

  25. Lea

    tyra still looks damn good after ten years. not hatin from me.

  26. kaykay

    #25 only person brave enough to say it thank you

    she is not that nice on her show either and have you seen her without her weave and makeup just damn!!!!!

  27. Mizunderstood

    I swear Tyra is always talking about herself … I thougbt I was the only one who noticed that..its like come on tyra.. she is awlays trying to defend her weight..and trying to explain herself.. but I do like her show..i still admire her for all that she has acomplished

  28. Tanisha

    I dont care what ya say Tyra is the shit! I love her and look up to her!

  29. I don’t really care for Tyra, but I have to say that these photos looks good. Yeah,Yeah,Yeah…they might be photoshop, but lets admit that most of these fucking female celebrities’ magazine covers and photos are photoshop…so she is not the only one. I have agree with MELISUS…If you love your curves so much then show him…Be proud of it…Who gives a fuck what people think or what those fucking tabloids are going to say…Fuck them all!! And Tyra does look posessed, but I kinda like it. Its more of a sexy posession look.

  30. TaTa

    She still looks good but she should let it go. If SI wanted to do a 10 year anniversary special than great. But for her to recreate it herself shows she is self-conscious about her size and from the looks of things, she shouldn’t feel that way. I don’t know how much touching up they did, but she’s still beautiful. Hyper but beautiful.

  31. Tyra looks better in the do-over picture that the original – bar none. She is more shapely.

  32. nishab

    Tyra still looks good..only thing I don’t like is the hair color. She’s still representing for the curvy women..Yes her original picture was fierce..but that was 10 YEARS AGO!! Here she is still loving her body, and photoshopped or not, she still had the guts to it.

    Childs..why do you feel the need to bring up Beyonce’s name somewhow? In every other post you absolutely don’t like her, so why even compare her to Tyra when this post clearly is just about Tyra Banks. Noone was talking about her but you…….shows how much she stays on certain ppls minds who don’t like her…

    anyway back on topic……….

  33. She looks good for a narcissist. And from now on. please do not bring up SWSNBN on this post, because the CRAZIES come out the woodwork.

    BTW, what does this have to do with Black History, maybe the fact the she was the first Black female on the swimsuit cover? Tyra, let go baby!!

  34. ^ Anyways, when is the next season of ANTM coming on?

  35. Dave

    DOWNGRADE!! Well the cover anyway. That myrtle beach sand color she has in her head is not nice looking.

  36. RC

    Whoever photoshoped these did a bad job because they look very obvious. But Tyra does looks good. I think Beyonce, JHud and Tyra have opened doors for all of us who aspire to be on the cover of magazines dominated by the man. I love Black History Month!!!!

  37. Coko

    She looks so damn uptight in her now pic

  38. icandi06

    i give her mad props…she still has it for a, what?… 32 year old!!

    give her the credit she deserves. damn! (first african american on the cover..) GO ‘HEAD TYRA!

  39. keisheloca

    Wow i have the same body shape as the 10Year old pic. Anyways………….. Tyra still looks good but she doesn’t need to be all covered up like that if she loves her curves so much as she claims. Im not scared to show my skinny ass.

  40. Only my 2nd time commenting but . . . Come on folks #25 is the “realest” post yet. Now, Tyra herself admitted that in the original SI edition 10 years ago she was 131#. Again, Tyra’s words, that she’s now 161# (which neither weight is fat for her height!). But let’s face it, a 30 pound difference looks a helluva lot more noticable than the two pictures. Trust me! AND when you gain weight (other than by body building with weights) it ALL comes back as fat!!! Ask any dietietian or nutritionist. She must think the public is whack! So don’t even try to convince me that she’s that tight! Tyra needs to choose which doggone side she’s one. She is a damn hypocrite! Time will certainly be the litmus test. People just don’t like liars. What’s so sad is that she does not even have to go there. Sheesh!!! Somebody post that darn paparazzi photo of her in that one piece and see how much the 2nd shot was touched up. Get real.

  41. K

    I say the old pics are Photoshopped too. Photoshop and/or programs like it certainly existed in 1997.

  42. I think I gotta go with the most recent photo’s yall. Give it up he girl has lotta body (good thing) I’m an advocate of the thick chicks!!!

  43. I love Tyra I just wish she would do something about that new hair color. That shit is ugly!!!

  44. # 15 I AGREE…….TYRA IS DOING HER THING AND PPLE GET ON HER 24/7 ……IF YOUR TYRA AND RAVEN THIS SITE IS CLEARLY NOT FOR YOU…..YOU HAVE TO BE BEYONCE TO GET LOVE HERE…

    THATS DEAD WRONG THOUGH BC BLACK PPLE ARE BEAUTIFUL THERE SHOULDNT BE ON PROTO-TYPE OF WHAT BLACK BEAUTY IS….ANYWAYS ILL DO YOU TYRA

    K

  45. moonluv

    Is it just me…or do I see a nose job?

  46. YAWN

    Definitely “Black History” alright. What a fucking idiot

  47. Whats Love

    @50…yeah but she got a good nose job..it looks very natural and fits her face…plus, her eyes are just so distracting

  48. tyra tyra tyra

    She looks great in this picture, but it is PHOTOSHOPPED like a mug, why didnt she take the picture as she looks, her stomach isnt that flat anymore.

    Whoever said tyra eats “fig leaves”, it had me rollin, I was laughing so hard I farted!!

  49. Damn Kitten a hater…

    I notice you hate on every black female celeb on this website…

  50. what a lunatic

    I WATCHED THIS, THE WHOLE FREAKIN FREAKIN HOUR WAS ABOUT TRYA AND THAT FREAKIN BATHING SUIT.

    ALL SHE WAS DOING WAS BRAGGING ABOUT HER TITS.

    “OH IN THIS PICTURE I WAS A C-CUP, NOW IM A DOUBLE D!!

    THE WHOLE HOUR WAS ABOUT HER AND THAT BATHING SUIT, THEN SHE HAD HER MAMA ON THERE, IT WAS UTTERLY STUPID.

    BLACK HISTORY MONTH MY HAIR BUTT CRACK!!

  51. HATED IT!!

    Tyra is so funny, this tramp got a talk show just to talk about herself. She misses modeling, thats the problem, she cant get away from it, she is still trying to do photoshoots, and still trying to be in front of the camera, then she cracks me up when she talks about being curvy and sexy and busty and big bootie and then she goes and photoshoppes all her photos.

    She is one crazy women!!

  52. mama banks

    I dont know about tyra, but mama banks sure is sexy!

  53. for those of u who say she opractically looks the same, that’s not true. she’s definitely wayy thicker in the newer pic. u can even see it in her face.and it’s true it was photoshopped but so was bey’s. everyone’s pics r photoshopped, even regular ppl are photoshopping their ish nowadays.

    and i know why her thighs look so small. she said that to make your thighs look smaller you have to basically stand like you’re knot-kneeded so it creates a space between your thighs. she did that for her first cover too. u can see the space there

  54. BELLY BUTTON

    EVERYTHING LOOKS THE SAME EXCEPT HER BELLY BUTTON, THE FIRST BELLY BUTTON LOOKS FINE, THE SECOND ONE LOOKS LIKE THE WHOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF A DOUGHNUT

    TYRA DID THIS SHOW TO PROVE TO EVERYONE SHE STILL IS FINE, THE WHOLE TIME ON THE SHOW SHE KEPT TALKING ABOUT PAPARAZZI SEEING HER IN HER SWIMSUIT AND BLAH BLAH BLAH.

    THANKS FOR THE BLACK HISTORY MONTH TYRA, I WAS TIRED OF READING ABOUT MAYA ANGELOU AND HARRIET TUBMAN, AND MARTIN LUTHER KING, THANK YOU TYRA!!

  55. Yola

    She still looks good. PS or not.
