Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Models, News,

Despite her successful television career, Tyra Banks has caught the modeling bug and is returning to her past career.

The 36-year-old has gone back to her first agency, IMG, but this time is aligning the firm with her own company, Bankable Enterprises. The America’s Next Top Model host said, “The last time I was with IMG, I was set on taking on the modeling world in the high fashion and commercial sectors. Now I’m dreaming even bigger but this time for my company as well. Aligning myself with brands that I believe in, and helping them achieve the kind of success they’re looking for, helps all of us as we grow our businesses.”

As part of the new deal, Tyra will participate in commercial endorsements and other fashion related opportunities. IMG’s Chairman and CEO Ted Forstmann added, “Tyra is a global brand and we are happy to welcome her back to the IMG family.”

Tyra is also soon to bring out her first novel, Modelland, which she promises will be “inspired by some of the models I’ve known - both nice and ‘ice.’”

Tim Burton Takes on High Fashion

When Halloween is near, why not turn to macabre director Tim Burton to envision a high fashion photo shoot for your magazine?

Well, the folks over at Harper’s Bazaar figured it would be a good idea, especially in light of the filmmaker’s career retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art. Shot by photographer Tim Walker, the eerie shoot recalls images of Burton’s classic characters we’ve come to love over the years—fashion magazine style, that is.

If you look closely enough (more pictures after the jump), you’ll catch the director himself taking a crack at modeling.

Miley Cyrus Brings ‘High Fashion’ to Middle America

In what can only turn out to be a coma-inducing interview in next month’s issue of Elle, Miley Cyrus talks about her “fashion line” for Wal-Mart:

“Oh my God, I’m so stoked! It’s a lot of peasanty, flowy tops, hippie and loose and sexy, like boho chill mixed with English-rocker-esque. Plaids, studs, rips, cool colors. The jeans are my favorite part of the entire line. Because, like, literally, this is going to good for, like, Middle America, and it will be great for kids that really want to be in fashion but they don’t have it available.”

After reading that remark, I greatly laud any journalist who has interviewed that girl. Kids who want to be in fashion but don’t have it available? It’s called thrift stores and the internet, Miley. But wait, there’s more!

“I would pay $500 for the jeans that we make for $20,” she said. “I’m really into high fashion.” I died a little inside when I read that. Christian Lacroix most likely put on his last couture show yesterday, and Miley Cyrus puts out a line for Wal-Mart and has the audacity to claim that she is really into high fashion. Will her egregious reign ever end?
