Tyra Banks shares obsession with one food after addressing her new look
Tyra Banks has revealed she will eat ice cream multiple times per day as she embraces her new passion for the frozen desert. While the 51-year-old is best known for her work as a model, she has pivoted to become an ice cream proprietor in Australia.
The American star has shipped her family Down Under and opened a store named SMiZE & DREAM - which has a nod to her modelling tip of smiling with the eyes. The America's Next Top Model icon has also explained that she is something of an ice-cream addict.
Having moved to Australia, the businesswoman and mother has been enjoying getting to know her neighbourhood by way of the multitude of ice cream parlours in the area. And while many might be tempted to stop off at one shop to pick up a treat, Tyra has revealed she will attend no less than three.
The model went on to explain that she considers no amount of ice cream too little or too excessive. Opening up to Australia's Daily Telegraph, she said: "We go full-on ice cream mode. We don't stop at one - we hit Messina, Anita, and Royal Copenhagen. Yep. Three. In a row.
"Call it excessive - we call it Saturday. We're an ice cream family. And when you love frozen cream, there's no such thing as too much."
Tyra has opened her SMiZE & DREAM parlour in Sydney's Darling Harbour this month and has been promoting her new business. She also told the Daily Mail Australia how much she is loving her new life Down Under.
She said: "I was coming for about a year and a half and just fell in love with it,' she said. 'And I said, should we make this move? And here we are.
"I love Darling Harbour because of this park. Tumbalong Park is magical... I have friends that live an hour and a half away and on the weekends they drive here just to go to the water and put their feet in with the kids.
"There's a playground for older kids, one for younger kids, Darling Square nearby, the harbour – it just felt natural." She went on to explain she named one of her new ice cream flavours after herself.
Describing the salted sweet cream, butter-roasted pecans and savoury caramel butter flavour, she gushed: "My favourite flavour is called Tyra's Favourite – very creative, isn't it? ... It's not your traditional ice cream taste – it has this surprising, rich sensation in the mouth."
Last year, Tyra opened up about her modelling past and future as she prepared to return to the catwalk for a Victoria's Secret show. In an empowering message she said: "50-year-old women, insecure women - I just felt like there was more, and I look at the playback and I'm like, boom, boom, boom.
"I was stomping because I felt like I was a vessel more so than it's just all about me. It was different."
She also discussed her thoughts on the way her body has changed over the years, saying: "Also what was different is my boobies were like 10 times bigger because I was about 40-50 pounds (18-22 kg) heavier on this runway than when I retired. So I was like, 'Don't fall out, don't fall out.'"

Pedro Pascal and Joaquin Phoenix satirise the insanity of the Covid lockdowns
Ari Aster's films to date (Hereditary; Midsommar; Beau is Afraid) have been treacherous, cruel and rigged to explode. Eddington is his first one that doesn't quite combust. It might seem a weird thing to say about a small-town political comedy-thriller featuring relentless conspiracy theories, gnarly head-shots and Antifa fire-bombings, not to mention Joaquin Phoenix going full-frontal. Somehow, the fuse is long, the burn slow and the detonation at the end perfunctory. Pivoting ever further away from horror towards panoramic social satire, Aster wants to diagnose the craziness of America at a particular moment – in May 2020 – when the confluence of Covid panic, BLM protests and polarised online discourse ignited a nationwide frenzy. He plonks us down in the fictional town of Eddington, New Mexico, an arid place on the edge of a pueblo, where sheriff Joe Cross (Phoenix) has had just about enough. Joe thinks Covid fears are nonsense and strides around mask-less, claiming that his asthma acquits him; a belligerent attitude that bugs most sensibly-minded locals, and sees him square off against town mayor Ted Garcia (an enjoyable Pedro Pascal), who's running for re-election and assuming he'll face no contest. Joe, though, has other ideas. His home life is stagnant in the extreme: he's married to Louise (an under-used Emma Stone), but she's a depressive hermit with no sex drive, they're childless and his mother-in-law (Deirdre O'Connell) spends all day trawling the web for the most outlandish conspiracy theory memes. There's a Three Billboards -ness to Eddington's whole set-up, which proves a hard comparison to shake off. Embroiled in Joe's murky schemes are a pair of police deputies, one given to racist assumptions (Luke Grimes) and the other black (Micheal Ward) with a shruggingly neutral point of view. Aster is out to prove that the loudest voices are often the least sincere: this goes for most of the young, white placard-wielders who take to the streets after George Floyd's death, one of them an incel named Brian (Cameron Mann) who poses as anti-racist purely to try and get laid. It's very much this director's style to cast a skinhead as the person to yell 'Nazi!' at an elderly shop-owner. Phoenix helps the film along by meeting Pascal's Joe on the level, not overdoing his stupidity, even though he's wrong about most things. His animus against Ted promises a western stand-off – quick-drawing at a crossroads, we imagine – but gets curtailed. It might have been better to sacrifice Austin Butler, who rocks up for a succinct, not particularly inspired section as a cult leader called Vernon Jefferson Peak, who has set about brainwashing Louise with the goal of whisking her away. Eddington makes too many sharp points to be at all abject – it's just underwhelming. The shot of Joe scrolling through his Instagram feed, to find black squares interspersed with Maga rants, crisply spoofs the lemming mentality defining both ends of America's culture wars. This sheriff, who Phoenix does play with rather a winning straightforwardness, thinks he can pull off a Gary Cooper routine without scrutinising his own morals in the least. So what we get is an inverse High Noon, with Joe armed and waiting, corrupt to the core, and out purely for number one. It's clever, serrated, and not bad, but you wouldn't call it Aster at full mad tilt. In cinemas from Fri 22

Taylor Swift, Kylie, Cher, and the enduring appeal of the showgirl
Taylor Swift announced her new record last week in classic, cultish, Swiftie fashion. Visuals for The Life of a Showgirl, her 12th studio album, dropped at 12.12am on August 12 (but her fans had already predicted that, obviously). The album's imagery set the internet alight. A photoshoot depicted Swift in various showgirl outfits — including one traditional burlesque costume which anyone with any knowledge of showgirls would immediately recognise as a Bob Mackie creation. The American designer is responsible for the majority of modern showgirl looks; the so-called 'Guru of Glitter' has worked with everyone from Sir Elton John and Miley Cyrus to Zendaya.
