Tyra Banks is leaving her talk show FABLife after two months. In related news, Tyra Banks had a talk show called FABLife apparently. Who knew?!? The latest daytime program to try and make like The View debuted just this past September. “This is a very difficult decision, but necessary,” said Banks in a statement, adding by way of explanation: “I will be devoting more time to my new, growing cosmetics company, TYRA Beauty, which is expanding faster than anticipated, as well as overseeing my company’s other entertainment ventures.” For those somehow unaware, FABLife is a program that features Chrissy Teigen , Joe Zee, Lauren Makk and Leah Ashley talking about food, makeovers, fashion, interior design and stuff in general that makes one’s life fabulous. Banks has been serving as co-host and executive producer; there are no plans for a replacement host, though we hear Rosie O’Donnell is available. As previously reported, meanwhile, Banks will also be closing the chapter on America’s Next Top Model. Last month, the annoying model revealed that Cycle 22 will be that long-running competition’s final season.  “I truly believe it’s time,” Banks Tweeted at the time. “May your pics be forever fierce. Keep on Smizing!” Sure thing. We guess. View Slideshow: 22 Make-Up Free Star Selfies

Fawk A Hater: Tyler Perry Defends His Shuckin’ & Jivin’ Movies And Says He Doesn’t Pay Attention To Critics Who Blast His Films

Does Tyler Perry make movies Black people should be proud of? Tyler Perry Defends Films And Dismisses Critics Tyler Perry talked about how he handles the criticism that is thrown his way and he says that the positive feedback that he gets from fans of his movies heavily overshadows the critics’ talk. Via HuffPo Live: “Here’s the thing about the critics, let me tell you this, I look for the truth in the critique, I honestly do. If there’s something in there that makes sense to me, I try to find and say ‘You know what, I thought that.’ But if it’s vitriolic, if it’s just venomous, I don’t pay attention to it. But for me, it’s very difficult because I have to hear the balance, right? So you have someone who says ‘This is awful, this is the worst thing I have ever seen.’ And then I’ve got a mother who’s sending me a letter saying, and these are real letters by the thousands on my Facebook page, ‘I was in an abusive relationship, I was able to get out when I saw Diary of a Mad Black Woman.’ One woman talked about having a cornea transplant and the first movie she wanted to see was mine. These are real stories that touch my heart in such a way that I’m thinking, why even pay attention to that when it’s the people that are moved and keep coming to see the films.” Tyler Perry knows what works and what doesn’t work for his fanbase. Translation: He does not care about the opinions of old white men who aren’t going to spend money see his movies anyway. Continue reading

Britney Spears Confirms X Factor Exit

After weeks of speculation, Britney Spears has confirmed what we already knew – that she’s quitting The X Factor after her first and only season last fall. “I’ve made the very difficult decision not to return for another season,” Brit tells ET Online in a statement, adding that Fox was informed of her decision. “I had such an incredible time doing the show and I love the other judges and I am so proud of my teens but it’s time for me to get back in the studio.” “Watching them all do their thing up on that stage every week made me miss performing so much! I can’t wait to get back out there and do what I love most.” Spears is reportedly hard at work on her eighth studio album, with her manager, Adam Leber, Tweeting, “It’s a little premature to give details on album 8.” “I know a lot of you are rabid for info but @britneyspears has only had a few sessions … I will say we had an incredible session with @EsterDean and @Hit_Boy. Great start.” Can’t wait. Or blame her from bailing on that sinking ship. As for whether Spears is also going to quit Jason Trawick in 2013, it looks like she’s on the verge of dumping him as conservator if nothing else.
