Tyra Testifies Against Stalker


Former Supermodel and TV host, Tyra Banks, testified today, against Brady Green, a man from Dublin, GA., said to have been stalking the media mogul from coast to coast.

Sources say, Banks feared for her safety when she learned that her accused stalker had entered the Manhattan building where she tapes her TV show……she also feared for the safety of her staff, her family and anyone else who is with her.

Defense lawyer Sydney O’Hagen says her 38-year-old client is just an overzealous fan. She says Green simply answered Banks’ web site invitation for fans to reach out to her.

Green was arrested near the studio where “The Tyra Show” is taped. He’s charged with stalking, harassment and criminal trespass. He faces up to 90 days in jail if convicted by Manhattan Criminal Court Judge James Burke, who is hearing the case without a jury.

Ludacris: On The Tyra Show


Ludacris makes a guest appearance today on The Tyra Show and he even gets a little flirtatious! You know I really like Ludacris, despite the silly rap he released in support of Obama while dissing Senator Hillary Clinton and Senator McCain; not a very smart move. However, he has the potential to be a great actor and he does some impressive charity work that isn’t publicized but it’s good to see he is doing is part.
