TYRA CALLS IT QUITS!

Model turned Talk Show host Tyra Banks is calling it quits after five years and two Emmy's. She's letting it be known that the shows abrupt cancellation was NOT in fact due to low ratings, she say's she wants to 'venture out into film and production' starting in 2010 in hopes to reach out to a bigger audience.

However, media has it that Tyra's 'behind-the scenes' staff was not alerted this news until last minute, leaving some without a job and lets just say they're not so happy...

Here's what a former employee of the Tyra Show had to say.

“There had been high turnover of employees
for years… pretty difficult to work for Tyra. She and the higher-ups on the production staff could be extremely brutal, she really is a diva. Everything had to be done Tyra’s way.” -Former Employee.

Gee-Wiz... We all know that Tyra can be a bit of a Diva at times, but in an economy like this people do deserve to know ahead of time that they're going to be FIRED!
