Tyra's Porn Shock
Tyra Banks did a double take when she saw herself on the front of a porn industry magazine.
But, as we all know, this supermodel would never sink so low.
The cover girl in question was lookey-likey Tyra Banxxx, the adult film star who's causing the real Tyra more than a few blushes.
The America's Next Top Model host described how shocked she was when she saw the Xtreme cover:
"For a second I was like, 'Did they put my head on someone else's body?' I thought that it really did look like me."
So what did Tyra do?
Invite the X-rated copy-cat onto her own TV chat show to demand her name back. That's what.
But it wasn't all about reclaiming her identity, though.
"The first thing that went through my head... It wasn't anger, it was more of a curiosity, and an empathy like, 'Where does this girl come from... And what led her to this?'"
And Miss Banxxx, real name Alana, agreed to stop using her idol's name.
She gushed: "Growing up, everyone always said I should be a model and everyone said I looked like you... You're an inspiration to me."
With all the sharing and outpourings, there was a fittingly fairytale end to the tale of two Tyras.
By way of thanks, the big-hearted philanthropist is saving her doppelganger from the murky world of adult entertainment.
Ms Banks will be helping Tyra Mark II find 'alternative' employment.
