Tyra Banks has been named the hardest-working person in showbusiness in a new online poll, according to Contact Music.
The model, talk show host and TV presenter has become a minimogul since she stepped down from the catwalk in 2006 – and now she has landed at the top of a new survey aimed at finding America’s hardest-working celebrity.

Banks beat American Idol host and DJ Ryan Seacrest, Jennifer Lopez, Heidi Klum and Sean `Diddy’ Combs to claim the top spot on Parade.com’s annual Summer Pop Culture poll.

The poll also claimed Oprah Winfrey as the celebrity most people would like as a next-door neighbour and Nicole Richie beat Mel Gibson and Tom Cruise to become the celebrity with the Most Improved Reputation.
Meanwhile, voters chose Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer as the Most Unlikely Couple and Halle Berry beat out Jennifer Lopez and Jessica Alba to claim the Hottest New Mama crown.

Tyra Banks says everyone needs to leave the Hannah Montana star alone. “She is a 15-year-old, and I just wish everybody would leave her alone!” Banks said on The View Wednesday.

The talk show host said she could remember being young and having job offers for similar shoots. “There were definitely jobs they would ask me to do,” Banks said. She said her mom always helped her decide which ones were appropriate.

In Miley Cyrus’ pictures she appears to be topless. She released a statement saying she “feels embarrassed” after seeing the finished product.

Miley Cyrus has apologized for the photos; and Annie Leibovitz — the photographer behind the pictures — said she was sorry for any misinterpretation.

Tyra Banks has revealed that the highs of her work life throws the lows of her personal life into sharp relief and she doesn’t like it.

She told Essence magazine recently: “I’d go to work [on The Tyra Banks Show], and women would be crying in my arms.”

“But then I’d go home and put my key in my door and … nothing. No friends, no husband, no children.”

“I feel so full when I’m at work but so empty when I come home.”

But it might not stay that way for long – the former model has hinted she would like to become a mum in 2008.

The supermodel is said to be very “insecure” about her hair and refuses to spend the night with men because she doesn’t want to remove her long fake locks in bed.

A source said: “Tyra is a confident woman for the most part, but she is really insecure about her hair. She doesn’t want any guy to see her without her wigs or hair extensions.

“Tyra feels like guys are with her for her image that they see on TV and in magazines. If one wakes up without her glamorous hair, she’s worried he may not call back!”

Meanwhile, the 33-year-old star has confessed she doesn’t like wine – but orders it in public just to look sexy.

Tyra Banks said: “Every now and then I’ll order some wine at the table. I’ll only take two sips, but I’ll keep holding the glass cause it makes me feel sexy, but I still don’t drink it because it still tastes kind of nasty to me.”

The chat show host believes she is lucky as her dislike for alcohol means she won’t end up in rehab like other stars.

She said: “I feel like I’ve been very lucky because I don’t really have an addictive personality. I’m not really an ‘alcohol girl’ and I’m definitely not a ‘drug girl’.”

Before the ground-breaking show, the no-nonsense former model said she hoped that bringing vagina-themed chit-chat to the day-time TV schedules would educate women.

Tyra said: “I have wanted to do this show for two years. I know for a lot of women talking about what is going on in our bodies is extremely difficult, but it is incredibly important.

“We should be able to talk to our daughters, sisters, mothers and friends about our bodies and not be embarrassed. I hope after this show women will not be ashamed about what’s up down there.”

She added: “My mother told me to look at myself because, ‘It’s just another part of your body that needs to be healthy just like your eyes, your nose, your ears, your mouth and everything else.’ “
