Chris Brown and Rihanna's situation isn't just a center of media attention. Highly influential talk show hosts — including Oprah Winfrey, Dr. Phil and Tyra Banks — have dedicated episodes of their shows to address the ugly issue of domestic violence. "Ever since I heard the details of Chris Brown's alleged attack on his girlfriend Rihanna, I've wanted to do this show because the message this story sends to teen girls and boys is disturbing, and it is also dangerous," Oprah said on Thursday's show, appearing alongside talk show host Tyra Banks. "We need to evolve from this moment in their life, and not just be voyeurs in their life and talking about what they should and shouldn't do. We should use this as a moment to allow our society to begin to grow. This show is dedicated to all the Rihannas of the world and to any young men who ever think about hurting a young woman ...

Former America's Next Top Model contestant Bianca Golden is opening up about her July airport brawl with Nikki Blonsky that resulted in various assault charges and a hospitalization for her mother.Golden shared on the Oct. 8 episode of The Tyra Banks Show that her family was visiting her "dying" grandfather in Turks and Caicos, Us Weekly reports. At the airport seating area, Blonsky became "very rude to my aunt," telling her "'You can leave. You can go away,'" Golden said.An argument erupted when Golden came to her aunt's defense, and when the model's mother, Elaine, tried to break the fight, Blonsky's father, Carl, "punched my mom," Golden recalled."He knocked her out. He hit my mom with such force she stumbled back, and when she stumbled back, the whole family got up and attacked my mom," she said, adding that Nikki kicked Elaine in the crotch."That's when my mom fell... completely," Golden said. "Both the families were arguing. It was like a scene out of a movie. Airport security...
On Friday, March 28, Barack Obama will be dishing and discussing the issues on ABC's The View (11 am/ET) in what the show is billing as a "no-holds-barred" interview. The presidential candidate last joined the morning show in November 2004 to promote his book. This time around, Obama will be covering a range of topics — from the personal to the political — including his relationship with his wife and family, his recent remarks on race, the Iraq war and his views on religion and life on the campaign trail, among other things."I am really looking forward to my return visit to sit down with the ladies of The View," he said.Obama's interview will be pre-taped on Thursday, March 27, but airs the next day, in an episode of the program that promises to focus largely on the candidate. Is this going to be Obama's version of Hillary Clinton's Tyra Banks moment? Do you think sitting down with The View hosts will have an impact on the views of voters? — Anna Dimond
While taping an appearance on the Tyra Banks Show, Sen. Hillary Clinton got frank about Bill and what went down when his marital infidelity was revealed, according to a People.com transcript.During the conversation, Sen. Clinton opened up about how she made the decision to stay with her then-president husband through the turmoil, saying she "really had to dig down deep and think hard about what was right for me, what was right for my family." Clinton also emphasized that handling infidelity is a personal decision, and each person's situation is unique. "You have to be true to yourself.... You have to do what is right for you," she added. Big props to Hillary for opening up, but a bigger high-five to Tyra for getting down to some tough talk on relationships with a woman who's seen it all. Banks for president, anyone? — Anna Dimond
Telepictures is having "serious conversations" about relocating Tyra Banks' two-year-old talker, and perhaps subsequently America's Next Top Model, to Manhattan, Variety reports. Sources tell the trade the motive behind the move is to bring a different energy — and guest pool — to Banks' daytime show, which has already been reupped for third and fourth seasons. As for ANTM making camp here, yeah, just what we need, more crazy.
Were America's Next Top Model strictly a modeling competition, Brittany Hatch would certainly have walked away with the title this season — the girl didn't take a single dud photo. Unfortunately for her, ANTM is about a whole lot more than walking in a straight line and making eye contact with a photographer; it's about letting Tyra Banks make a silk purse out of a sow's ear — and preferably crying a whole lot along the way. And while the 21-year-old Georgian was able to turn on the waterworks like nobody's business, she started out with too little room for improvement to suit journeywoman Tyra, so she had to go. As another competitor prepares to catwalk into oblivion tonight (at 8 pm/ET on the CW), TVGuide.com rang up "the Brittany," who's only sli
In Season 2 of IFC's Greg the Bunny: The Film Parodies, debuting Saturday at 9 pm/ET, those getting "felt" up (and sent up) by the puppets include Charlize Theron (in "Wumpus the Monster"), Nicole Kidman (in "Sockville") and Mel Gibson ("Passion of the Easter Bunny")....

Also be sure to check out the Insider Q&As with Top Model runners-up Joanie and Jade. How do I love America's Next Top Model winner Danielle Evans? Let me count the ways. For starters, the 20-year-old was never at a loss for words. (If your attention span is so short that you don't remember how wonderfully witty she is, read on — this interview will remind you.) She fought as long and hard as anyone could've against Tyra Banks' head-scratch
Also be sure to check out the Insider Q&As with Top Model champ Danielle and runner-up Jade. Perhaps no contestant on this season's America's Next Top Model suffered more for her art than Joanie Dodds, the snaggle-toothed 24-year-old who spent a day — literally, a day! — in the dentist's chair getting her smile straightened out. But although the results were stunning, she still finished second. Is she bitter? Angry? Ready to bare her fangs? Hardly. She remains the easygoing Grace Kelly look-alike who charmed the judges with her good humor and dazzling presence. TVGuide.com: In your first meeting
Although America's Next Top Model judge Nigel Barker rightly noted that she resembled E.T. in a wig, Furonda Brasfield made it nine — count 'em, nine — weeks into the CoverGirl competition. How on earth did she outlast witty knockouts like Leslie and Mollie Sue? As her TVGuide.com interview reveals, it certainly wasn't because she exhibited any
How good a morning is Tyra Banks having? Yesterday her longtime rival, Naomi Campbell, was busted by the NYPD after her hospitalized maid told them that the model was the one who put her there. "We believe this is a case of retaliation, because Naomi had fired her housekeeper earlier this morning," said a statement from the catty catwalker's flacks. "I believe this is a case of karma," I can imagine Miss Tyra replying. Campbell has been booked with second-degree assault for pulling a Russell Crowe and clocking her servant with a phone (this time, of the cell variety).

Another round of strutting, pouting, posing — and spatting — is upon us now that UPN's America's Next Top Model (Wednesdays at 8 pm/ET) has returned for a sixth cycle. "What I love about this new group is that no one looks like anyone else," says host Tyra Banks. "They're all so different, and they all photograph strikingly." While Southern-fried Kathy has already been sent home, here's why each of the remaining hopefuls thinks she has what it takes to be a runway success. BROOKE (22, Corpus Christi, Texas)Occupation: Student Secret weapon: "It doesn't normally show, but I'm a fierce individual. That's going to come out on film and on t
Or, I presume, teases us into thinking she will when she channels a stripper named "Chanel" in the March 1 — aka the final day of February sweeps, need you ask — outing of The Tyra Banks Show. Going undercover at a topless club beneath a wig, fake teeth and a prosthetic nose, Tyra Banks aims to explores the question of why men are obsessed with strippers. As she explains, "I wanted to go up onstage and dance [and see what they're] getting out of this." You mean, besides a few dollar bills lighter?
UPN announced on Thursday that the Tyra Banks-fronted America's Next Top Model, which sends Season 6 down the runway in March, has been given the green light for two seasons beyond that. Meaning that by the time the show ends its run (if it ever does), Miss J will be so old, she'll have to change her name to Madam.
On the Nov. 7 installment of her daytime talk show, Tyra Banks will chronicle her daylong stint in a 350-lb. fat suit, where the supermodel experienced firsthand the open discrimination that obese people face. As she tells the Associated Press, "It was one of the most heartbreaking days of my life," ranking right up there with the time her local CVS stopped carrying Dexatrim.
Cute as Sarah Rhoades is, the underdog sex kitten couldn't walk to save her life, much less keep her in the running toward becoming America's Next Top Model (Wednesdays at 8 pm/ET, on UPN). Perhaps to keep her from bruising her pretty face by taking a spill, the judges handed Sarah a nice, soft seat on an airplane home to Boonville, Mo., which sucks for two reasons: 1) Both hot and warm, she was easily the season's most appealing contestant, and 2) now we'll never know how far her relationship with lesbian buddy Kim would have gone had they continued making out in limos and taking midnight swims together. Before she starts telling tales on today's Tyra Banks Show, I can make myself — and maybe you, too — feel a little bit better by letting you in on the not-at-all-dumb blonde's master plan.

Her motto was "Don't get it twisted," but America's Next Top Model contestant Ebony Taylor certainly got her knickers in a knot last week: Although the recent high-school graduate enthusiastically embraced her extreme makeover, during a subsequent shoot in the country she got all tangled up in her new look — braids in her eyes, her mouth, everywhere! As a result, she was given her catwalking papers. Before another wannabe gets shoved off the runway (tonight at 8 pm/ET on UPN), and even before the California girl explains her hair-raising misstep on today's Tyra Banks Show, TVGuide.com rang the kooky teenager to get the scoop. TVGuide.com: It sucks that you got eliminated, but you've got to be excited that you came away from the show with your own catchphrase.Ebony Taylor: I know! I had no idea it would turn i
