Tyra Banks has announced that much like Oprah, she's decided to put an end to her Emmy-winning talk show.

In an open letter on her website, Tyra writes:
    "This will be the last season of The Tyra Show. I've been loving having fun, coming into your living rooms, bedrooms, hair salons for the past 5 years. The thing is, The Tyra Show is not leaving because of YOU. Most times, a show leaves the air because not many people are watching. Well, you all ARE watching, in record numbers. You must know this love and support is always felt by me and it's given me the courage to take more exciting steps in my life. So I thank you for that."


As for those "exciting steps", Tyra's apparently "got a lot cooking right now," in addition to hosting the 15th season of America's Next Top Model next year, she's going to be concentrating on producing movies and getting more involved with online ventures to be able to "vibe" more with us. Oh, joy.

She also pays her respects to the Queen of Talk, Oprah Winfrey, who gave Tyra her first shot in daytime. "We all know she announced that her last year with her talk show will be in the 2010-2011 season. We will all miss her show so much. And to you Oprah: You have had, and continue to have, such an amazing impact on me. I salute you."

And we salute you, Tyra, for making such a big stinking deal about revealing your wigless "real hair" that we actually had to tune in to see what your fivehead really looks like!
