Tyra Banks Fights Fat Stories  1/25/07

Former supermodel Tyra Banks is set to disrobe again on her hit US talk show in a bid to quell reports she's getting fat.

Tabloids poked fun at the retired catwalk stunner after unflattering holiday photographs taken of Banks in Sydney, Australia last month (DEC06) appeared in style magazines.

The former Victoria's Secret model, who stripped to her underwear for a "reveal" show last year (06), now plans to wear the same striped bathing suit she wears in the holiday snapshots on her show next week (01FEB07) - to prove that sometimes the camera does lie.

Banks admits she was horrified when tabloids started suggesting she was fat, insisting she has put on 30 pounds since her modeling career began and now weighs a healthy 161 pounds.
