Tyra Banks To Produce TV Series Based On Her Childhood

Tyra Banks To Produce TV Series Based On Her Childhood

Fashion icon and media mogul Tyra Banks is about to launch another new project — a TV series based on her youth, tentatively called Fivehead.

The title is derived from schoolyard taunts a young Banks received because of her pronounced forehead.

The show will explore the “long journey from awkward teen to one of the world’s most recognizable supermodels.”

The Everybody Hates Chris-type show has been picked up by ABC and will be co-produced by Banks’ America’s Next Top Model partner Kenya Barris.

At this stage, it’s unknown whether Banks will play a role in front of the camera on the series.

Tyga Sued Over Malibu Mansion, Ordered To Pay Up Or Vacate

Tyga Sued Over Malibu Mansion, Ordered To Pay Up Or Vacate

Tyga is being sued over unpaid rent on his mansion located in Malibu, Calif. The Young Money star is being sued by his landlord for failure to cough up the bread for the luxurious home.

Gholamreza Rezai filed the suit against Tyga and his music company, claiming that he signed an agreement promising to pay the $16,000 a month on the house, but stopped paying as of last month.

As it turns out, Rezai shouldn’t be totally surprised that Tyga stopped taking care of the rent. In September, he expressed security concerns, because fans kept showing up to the house. Upon asking to be let out of the lease, his request was denied, and as a result, he decided not to cover the rent for September.

Rezai ordered him to leave by the end of the month, but the 22-year-old is not only still staying at the house, but stopped making rental payments all together.

Beyonce Quits A Star Is Born Remake

Beyonce Quits A Star Is Born Remake

Beyonce won’t be following in the footsteps of Barbra Streisand and Judy Garland after all.

The singer, actress and mom, 31, has pulled out of a much-anticipated remake of A Star Is Born directed by Clint Eastwood,.

“I was looking forward to the production of A Star Is Born and the opportunity to work with Clint Eastwood,” the “I Was Here” singer said. “For months we tried to coordinate our schedules to bring this remake to life but it was just not possible. Hopefully in the future we will get a chance to work together.”

To be directed by Eastwood, the film will be the fourth “A Star Is Born,” about a singing female superstar who struggles to stand by her man, a fading, alcoholic actor. Janet Gaynor starred in the 1937 original, with Garland and James Mason reprising it in 1954, and Streisand and Kris Kristofferson headlining a 1976 version.

Although names like Bradley Cooper, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Cruise, Christian Bale and Johnny Depp have been mentioned, a male lead has yet to be cast in the film, which was first delayed by Beyonce’s 2011-2012 pregnancy with daughter Blue Ivy.

Variety reports that Grammy-winning jazz singer Esperanza Spalding could possibly be cast as the leading woman.
