Tyrant Banks Rewards Her Staff with a Donation to the "Human Fund"

An insider at "The Tyra Banks Show" revealed to Gawker that on the last day of shooting for the 2007 season, talk show host, Tyra Banks awarded her audience with lavish gifts, including jewelry, an AT&T video phone, and other luxury clothing items. Later that day, the staff enjoyed their holiday party at Pianos in New York and received a big fat nothing for their work all season, despite their willingness to relocate from Los Angeles to work on the show, when Tyra moved the show to NYC. In contrast, talk show hosts Oprah and Jerry Springer are well-know for their generosity behind-the-scenes. Hmmm, is it any coincidence that she's dressed like Joan Crawford in "Mommy Dearest" in these photos? Maybe her staff should have remembered not to fill her dressing room closet with WIRE HANGERS, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY!!!
