Tyra Banks lashes out at critics of her weight

Former Model and current TV personality Tyra Banks is addressing people who have made fun of her weight with immature comments like "America's Next Top Waddle". Tyra, who is 5'10 and 161 lbs -- well within a healthy range by the way -- is angry about the effects these comments have on her fans, who value her as a role model because she's not as skinny as most supermodels. Seriously though, who are these people making fun of a gorgeous woman with a healthy weight? Nicole Richie and her fellow anorexics who think that looking like a heroin addict is preferable to having some womanly curves? Get a grip people.

I don't watch much TV and haven't seen Tyra since her stint on the Fresh Prince of Bel-Aire (I'm totally dating myself here) but from recent pictures of her, I think she looks fabulous, and I hope she doesn't succumb to all the Hollywood ridiculousness that goes on concerning weight.
