Pork Chops Strikes Again

Posted Feb 1st 2007 10:24PM by Marcus Vanderberg
Filed under: Everybody Hates Marcus

If I only knew that Tyra Banks was this much of a crybaby when I wrote my post about her in November...

Pork Chops had to dedicate a whole show in order to prove to all the gossip rags that she didn't gain 40 pounds in two weeks.

Me. Me. Me.

It's all Pork Chops, all the time.

The highlight of her show was the "Kiss My Fat Ass" line at the very end of her "compelling" speech.

Gag me.

It's all about Pork Chops and she loves the fact that this story is getting so much play.

According to Pork Chops, she weighs 160 pounds.

And that's fine. Have no problem with it. Really could care less about how much she weighs actually.

But for her to make a big stink about how much she supposedly weighs and then turn around to talk about anorexia on the show is hilarious to me.

Why do you think these young girls are starving themselves and forcing themselves to throw up after meals?

Society makes such a big deal about image and appearance and Pork Chops is falling right into the mix.

If Pork Chops truly felt that her size or appearance wasn't a big deal, she wouldn't have addressed the photos.

Does she secretly wish she were smaller? I'm just saying...

Daily you can read gossip blogs and see all types of false stories written about celebrities.

But how many are dedicating a whole special about some Internet rumor?

Just Pork Chops.

And that's why this show is magic.

1. I watched the show today..I was touched by Tyra's comments..its definitely a tough business to be in. Thank God, for tough skin. Porkchops? Get a life! DUDE, WHO ARE U, ANYWAY? GO TYRA! THANX FOR YOUR VOICE.

2. A story has 3 sides and Tyra has the venue to state hers. Plus it seems that they are attacking her so I do not blame her for stating her side.

5. MARCUS I BET YOUR WOMAN DON'T LOOK AS GOOD AS THE SO CALL PORK CHOP YOU CALL TYRA.

LISA at 4:58PM on Feb 2nd 2007

6. MARCUS NEEDS TO EAT SOME PORK CHOPS WITH YOUR SKINNY ASS.TYRA IS A BEAUTIFUL AND TALENTED WOMAN, FORGET ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE SAY, AS LONG AS YOUR HAPPY WITHIN YOURSELF GOD BLESS.

7. I think Tyra has a problem with her recent weight gain. I believe that she's trying to justify this by playing a very sensitive card to all of us women: our weight.
I don't hate Tyra, I like her show, but I believe it's about time that she admit to her self that she doesnt like losing her Super Model body, and I know that it must be very hard on her.
Please Tyra , get some help and don't play with our emotions.

8. Tyra!..Your nuts!..yes u did gain alot of weight i notice it before it came out on magazines and the internet!...live with it!!...that was you on those pictures..it wasnt anyone else...its just that your shoe is edited and you are able to change things around but yes are fat!! Reality Check!!!!

Elizabeth at 11:45PM on Feb 3rd 2007

9. It is just so funny to me that Tyra is so upset about what is being said about her in the media. Who watches "NEXT TOP MODEL"!!!!! Have you guys ever noticed how she and her other panel members talk about the more curvaceous women who try out. Tyra and her crew have killed many dreams of the heavier sisters on her show. So if her and her crew can dish it out she should surely be able to also swallow a little cristicism from others.
P.S. In all the seasons of NEXT TOP MODEL has a more curvy girl ever won!!!!!? I wonder WHYYYYYYYY??????

10. All I can say is Tyra has it going on. I too, refuse to die hungary so others will not think ill of me.

Precious at 2:46PM on Feb 4th 2007

11. Unfortunatley Tyra is in a buisness where looks are EVERYTHING and she should not be picked at and scrutinized for gaiining weight! She was in a industry for years that required her to diet, exercise and look a certain way and now that she is retired from modeling she should be able to do and eat whatever she wants! Weight is ALWAYS going to be an issue. It just happens to be that she is a well known celebrity who is everywhere. I'm glad that she defended herself and let the media know she doesnt give a damn what people think. She is a human being and I'm pretty sure calling folks names like "Porkchop" is the kind of behavior my 3 year old cousin displays on the playground. People just need to grow up and mind they own!!

12. what is wrong with yall were suppose to be family and wants a black person makes it big yall bring such negativity and always critizing them but white people support their people. and so what if she gained a few pounds thats HER body not yalls!!!!

teetee at 6:30PM on Feb 5th 2007

13. fuck what they say baby you still fine.................

tyrone at 6:31PM on Feb 5th 2007

14. it's really funny what the media pays attention to. Tyra has EVERY right to comment on negative comments being made about her. Who cares if she gained weight? she's not a model anymore. She's still within a healthy range for her height so really WHAT is the big deal? Grow up Marcus, calling her Porkchop???? really you are so adult and by the way not caring about something means you have no reason to mention it.

Andrea at 6:31PM on Feb 5th 2007

15. The real message here people is; When you criticize people about how they look, they feel bad. Even rich TV hosts have feelings too. Thats why she had fat shows, and anorexia shows so people could learn to deal with the feelings both internal & external about their appearance. Take Marcus for example. People probably picked on him all his life for how he looks.
Pretty girls like Tyra Probably never gave him a second look. Can you blame him now for being such a hater? He hurts inside.
