Tyra Labeled as Fat

Tyra Banks the "America's Next Top Model" host and Victoria's Secret model has always been admired for her perfect body.

So it came as a bit of shock when the National Enquirer published photos of the supermodel, looking a little chubby with the title "America's Next Top Waddle" - this coming from the same tabloid that publishes skeleton-like images of Nicole Richie.

Tyra fired back by wearing the same swimsuit on her talk show displaying her lean and curvy new figure, which was a far cry from the distorted image in the tabloid. She also appeared on the latest issue of PEOPLE magazine, saying she's proud of her post-modeling curves.

During an intense skinny-model controversy in the fashion world, and while all eyes are on top models and celebrities that are literally starving, its just mind-boggling that a 161 lbs. 5'10" fit celebrity would receive this kind of scrutiny, frankly Tyra looks better than ever.
