Tyra Banks doesn’t feel that living large is worth it. The former supermodel decided that it was easier to loose 30 pounds than to constantly defend her weight.

Last winter she was photographed on vacation in a bathing suit revealing substantial thunder thighs and supersized hips. She was quick to reply that she was comfortable with her new womanly body and for those that don’t like it tough luck.
Banks even launched something of a crusade to promote the full figure women as beautiful and posed as a cover girl for the cause for several magazines.

Later however she began to crack and at one point revealed,
"With all the self-esteem my mom instilled in me, the criticism still hurts."
Since then she dropped 30 pounds in 5 months, dropped the fat shtick and is now is promoting healthy eating and regular exercise.

J for what? That is the mystery that surrounds Marc Jacobs sudden compulsion to get a tattoo.
The Louis Vuitton designer showed up at a New York tattoo parlor and had a small letter J inked just beside his hip.
The question is does the letter stand for Jacobs or Jason in reference to his former ex-escort boytoy Jason Preston who the fashion star is rumored to be reunited with after completing rehab. Preston already has Marc Jacobs tattooed prominantly on his arm.
