The word on the curb is that Tyra Banks is set to leave America's Next Top Model to concentrate on her popular talk show. Friction with the show's co-host is being cited, by reports, as the reason for Banks' rumored departure:
OK! magazine reports that Banks isn’t getting along with photo shoot creative director Jay Manuel, and her days on the show could be numbered. “It’s gotten so bad that Tyra and Jay aren’t speaking,” an insider told OK! magazine. The selective silent treatment isn’t limited to Manuel, either. “Tyra barely interacts with the contestants and only wants to show up on judging day,” the source told the magazine.
