Tyra Banks Tries Hand at Fantasy Novels
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Former supermodel Tyra Banks has signed a deal for a series of fantasy novels about the world of modeling, her publishers said on Tuesday.
Banks, the host of reality competition "America's Next Top Model" and whose own TV talk show is set to end this year, will write three books, Delacorte Press said.
She has already finished the first, called "Modelland", which is about a teen girl in a make-believe society at an academy for exceptional models called Intoxibellas. It will be published in the summer of 2011.
Writing on her web site, Banks said the book was "for all the girls and guys who want a lot more FANTASY in their lives … and some fierceness and magic, romance and mystery, crazy and wild adventures, and yeah, some danger too...."
I would snark, but its hardly worth the effort, and I have reading to catch up on...once I get these Sylph chapters knocked out I'll try to get check in with what you folks have been up to. I know there's a mile and a half worth of F-list that I haven't looked at in far too many days...
Wait, I have to retract my hold on snark long enough to ask why in all the nine hells models need an 'academy'? I mean, what do they study beyond Weight Loss 101 and Advanced Prima Donna Tantrums? I guess the magical element is included to actually give them something to do...
Okay, I'm done now :P
