America's Next Top Fattie


Get out your Emmy ballots, people: Tyra Banks was actually willing to be unattractive for a whole episode of her talk show on national television today.

America's favorite model/talk-show host donned a fat suit (gasp!) and walked around Hollywood to see what it would be like to be a 350-pound woman.

Banks said she endured taunts as a fat woman and that "it just was heartbreaking because it was so in your face" (yeah, everybody knows fat people like to be made fun of behind their fat backs).

"Just when I put the neck on," Tyra said, tearing up, "I got emotional" (knowing that she was going to be unattractive for at least a few hours, poor thing).

Tyra went on to say that the experience had changed her life forever, or at least until the episode aired later that day during sweeps — whichever came first.

No word on whether it ever occurred to her that people were treating her differently because they didn't know she was a celebrity ...
