Is Tyra Too Much Of A Diva?

'Talky Tyra's No Model Host' is today's headline gossip story of the New York Post Page Six column.

According to the story, it seems Tyra kept the audience of her talk show waiting for almost 2 hours while they could hear her 'giggling, snacking and chatting' behind the stage curtains with the crew.

A source for the Post cites:

"She leaves us waiting, and everyone is sitting there complaining, and then she comes out and doesn't say a word about it. She didn't even say hello, she got right into her script,...She acted so cold towards everyone. She's a phony."

The show entitled, "Celebrating Black Models, Past, Present and Future," will host Beverly Johnson, Veronica Webb, Chanel Iman and Tameka Jacobs but folks in the audience felt Tyra made the show more about her than her guests.

One spy states:

"Tyra kept saying, 'When I was a model,' and would hardly let them talk. It was all about her, as usual."

Last year, I went to a taping of The Tyra Banks Show and while I didn't catch any of Tyra's diva ways, this isn't the first time I've heard stories like this.

Is it possible Tyra is letting the comparisons to Oprah and Martha get to her head?
