Media mogul/model/host and Emmy winner Tyra Banks may be heading down the aisle in the near future…

According to Banks’ right hand man on ‘America’s Next Top Model,’ Jay Manuel, Banks appears to be deeply connected with rumored boyfriend John Utendahl.

“I’ve seen Tyra in her current relationship, and I think she’s very much herself,” Manuel told In Touch Weekly. “When you see that real moment, she’s comfortable – and being comfortable is the most important thing.”

When asked if he thought they would tie the knot, Manuel went on to say “I think she definitely will, but does she have plans to get married right now? Not that I know of yet!”

Say What: Upset Tyra Staff Slam Banks ‘Diva’ Antics

Is Miss Tyra really a diva ?

According to ex-staff members Banks is so “brutal” that she didn’t even think about informing her employees (sidebar: the people who make her productions etc. a success) that they would be out of a job !

“When the show moved from LA to New York, several staffers weren’t even directly told about the change,” one of few sources shared with NY Daily News this week. “They heard through the grapevine it was going to move locations. Even so, a lot of those people gave up their lives on the West Coast so they could continue working for the show. Now they’re out of luck (referring to Tyra’s decision to call it quits after Spring 2010).”

Beyond allegations of not being forthcoming about show changes and its ultimate end, sources say Tyra’s show is like a revolving door.

“There had been a high turnover of employees for years,” a source say, adding that it was “pretty difficult to work for Tyra”.

“She and the higher-ups on the production staff could be extremely brutal…She really is a diva.”

Now truth be told there are always two sides to a story — is Tyra simply strong willed and rated a ‘diva’ (for lack of another word) because she is a savvy business woman ?

As previously reported, Tyra Banks is looking forward to bringing “positive images of women to the big screen” through Bankable Productions. She has won two Emmy’s since the launch of the Tyra Show and the hit reality competition ‘America’s Next Top Model’.

Say What: Tyra Banks Show Coming To An End !

With an Emmy on her mantle, Tyra Banks is calling it quits !

According to PEOPLE, Miss Tyra’s lauded talk show ‘The Tyra Show’ will officially end over the spring … just months before Oprah pulls the plug.

Sources say Tyra will instead focus on an as yet revealed project that will expand her reach beyond the talk show circuit… Here’s what she told PEOPLE:

“This will be the last season of The Tyra Show I’ve been loving having fun, coming into your living rooms, bedrooms, hair salons for the past 5 years. My next huge steps will allow me to reach more women and young girls to help us all feel as fierce as we truly are.”

Sad…just sad… recap… the show will air in the spring but after that it’s a wrap!

Tyra Relaxes Stalker Free at Times Sunday

Tyra Banks at 4th annual New York Times Sunday

Tyra Banks looked relaxed and ready to move forward at the 4th Annual New York Times Sunday with the Magazine event in New York this weekend. This of course after she had to testify against her now convicted stalker Brady Green.

Green, 39, was arrested in March after prosecutors say he appeared twice at the Manhattan studio where Banks’ daytime show is taped.

Banks testified against the man, who also sent her flowers and threatened to slit the throat of her assistant just before the guily verdict came down stating: “I feel very vulnerable. I don’t know what could happen”.

Green could serve up to 90 days behind bars however, authorities have suggested that he’ll instead receive psychiatric care.

Keep your head up Tyra.

Tyra Banks Will Testify Against Her Stalker

Top Model’s Tyra Banks is due in court this week to testify against the Georgia man accused of stalking her all over the country.

Sicko Green, from Dublin, Ga., is accused of following Banks from coast to coast since January of last year. He was arrested in a McDonald’s near the Manhattan building where “The Tyra Banks Show” is taped after he tried to see her on March 18, 2008.

Green told police then, “I know her. She knows me. We’re good friends.”

“We had a thing together,” court papers quote Green as telling police. “I sent her flowers. I sent her cards. Should I plead no contest? I’ve got satellites watching me and recording us.”

Have any of you guys ever had a stalker? If so, Hopefully not at this level?

In court that Is….

Remember when stalker Brady Green turned up at television studios from coast to coast in search of Tyra Banks and said he and the supermodel “had a thing together.”

Well he is a bout to get his due. Green is scheduled to go on trial Friday on charges of stalking and harassing the television talk-show host beginning in January 2008. He was arrested March 18, 2008, after he tried to see her at the Manhattan building where “The Tyra Banks Show” is taped.

“I know her. She knows me. We’re good friends,” he told police then, according to court documents.

He said he had come by bus to see her.

“We had a thing together,” Green told police. “I sent her flowers. I sent her cards. Should I plead no contest? I’ve got satellites watching me and recording us.”

Green has pleaded not guilty to stalking, criminal trespass and harassment. He has rejected several non-jail plea deals offered by prosecutors.
