Tyra Banks says Victoria's Secret revoked her access to free lingerie in stores after she didn't renew Angel contract''
Banks said a store employee had to halt her purchase because her free lingerie card expired while she was trying to shop: "I hate saying this on national TV."Key Points Tyra Banks said that Victoria's Secret revoked her access to free lingerie. The supermodel revealed that she attempted to use her "Angels card" in a store, but an employee halted the sale. "I hate saying this on national TV," Banks said on Today With Jenna & Victoria's Secret Angel Tyra Banks' access to free lingerie has departed for the heavens. The supermodel and America's Next Top Model icon said Tuesday during her week-long guest-cohosting gig on NBC's Today With Jenna & Friends that, despite being one of the most famous Victoria's Secret Angels of all time, the brand once revoked a card that gave her unlimited free lingerie in its retail locations. After joking with main anchor Jenna Bush Hager that she's no longer a lingerie model, despite recently coming out of modeling retirement, Hager asked if Banks is still a lingerie shopper. "Jenna, I had a free Angels card that the head of Victoria's Secret gave me. They were like, 'Forever, we love you so much, you have this card and you can go to any shop forever and shop forever with no cap on it,'" Banks recalled. "So, I would get lingerie for myself, matching tops and bottoms, a collection that came out? I got it!" Then, a few years later, "they put a contract on the table and said, 'Let's sign three more years,'" Banks continued. "I was like, 'I don't want to, I want to be a talk show host, I'm not gonna do it.' They let me have that Angel card for a year later, and then they said, give it back, baby!" A stunned Hager asked, "Did you actually go to Victoria's Secret and they were like, 'I'm sorry, this card is no longer accepted here.'" Banks nervously laughed as she admitted, "Yes," before adding, "I hate saying this on national TV" while laughing. "Did you have a whole pile of stuff?" Hager inquired. Banks replied, "Yes, Jenna. Yes! It was like in the suburbs, a store in Los Angeles off the freeway, I can't remember the name of the mall. Oh my gosh!" Entertainment Weekly has reached out to Victoria's Secret for comment. After walking in several Victoria's Secret shows throughout the height of her modeling career in the '90s and early aughts, Banks retired from modeling to focus on her business endeavors, including her TV empire (which included winning two Daytime Emmys for The Tyra Banks Show talk show), penning her Modelland novel, launching her SMiZE & DREAM ice cream franchise, and establishing a former cosmetics brand. She eventually rejoined the Victoria's Secret family and partnered with them in August 2024 to announce the revival of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show after the brand discontinued the iconic fashion show in 2019, following criticism that also resulted in the cancellation of the Victoria's Secret Angel division. The landmark brand eventually unveiled in 2021 a new, diverse group of seven stars (including Megan Rapinoe and Priyanka Chopra Jonas) it deemed to be the new "VS Collective," which aimed to represent the brand and consumers through a wider range of people with larger body types, trans women, and more. At the time, Banks praised the decision on social media, stating that she was "proud" to be "witnessing a beauty revolution" unfold before her. "First is crucial so that a door can be opened for others to fit through. Within a 10-year span starting in 1995, I was the first Black Victoria's Secret contract model ever. The first Black Victoria's Secret cover model. The first Black VS model to do so many other groundbreaking things with the brand," she wrote on Instagram, shortly after the New York Times released a story on the Victoria's Secret reinvention. "But after a first, must come a flow of more. A flow of different. A flow of unique. A flow so strong, a flow of so many that we LOSE COUNT."

Eileen Davidson leads Daytime Emmy predictions for Best Drama Actress, but watch out for Nancy Lee Grahn
The Daytime Emmys race for Best Drama Actress is shaping up to be a battle between Eileen Davidson (The Young and the Restless) and Nancy Lee Grahn (General Hospital). According to Gold Derby's predictions, the former is currently out front with a 54 percent chance of winning, while the latter is in the runner-up position with 21 percent. Davidson has played Ashley Abbott, a successful chemist and businesswoman who consistently navigates family drama, on and off since since her The Young and the Restless debut in 1982. During the eligible 2024 season, Ashley experienced Dissociative Identity Disorder and splintered into several different personalities, including Ash, Mrs. Abbott, and Belle. To date, Davidson has won two Daytime Emmys for Best Drama Actress, in 2014 for Days of Our Lives and in 2018 for The Young and the Restless. More from Gold Derby 2025 Emmys: These are the episodes every Best Comedy Actor nominee submitted Paul Mescal and Josh O'Connor in 'The History of Sound' trailer: Everything to know about Oliver Hermanus' queer romance Grahn's Alexis Davis has been a constant presence since 1996, and the actress is one of General Hospital's longest-running cast members. Alexis is the daughter of a Greco-Russian prince and a Swedish opera singer, and she continues to connect with audiences by being a successful lawyer and mother. Last year, Alexis experienced a tragic loss when her daughter, Sam (Kelly Monaco), was killed off the show due to complications from a liver transplant. Grahn was previously recognized with two awards for Best Drama Supporting Actress, in 1989 for Santa Barbara and in 2012 for General Hospital. Fun fact: this marks the third time that Davidson and Grahn have faced off in Best Drama Actress at the Daytime Emmys. They both lost to Susan Flannery (The Bold and the Beautiful) in 2003, while Davidson prevailed in 2018. Who will win this year? Let's look at the Gold Derby data: Best Drama Actress Contender Odds 1. Eileen Davidson The Young and the Restless 54.1% 2. Nancy Lee Grahn General Hospital 20.8% 3. Sharon Case The Young and the Restless 10.8% 4. Michelle Stafford The Young and the Restless 6.5% 5. Laura Wright General Hospital 4.8% 6. Melissa Claire Egan The Young and the Restless 3.0% In third place is Sharon Case (Sharon Newman on The Young and the Restless) with an 11 percent chance of winning. This would be her first lead victory after taking home a supporting trophy in 1999. Then there's Michelle Stafford (Phyllis Summers on The Young and the Restless) at 7 percent. She's already a three-time champion for this role, for supporting in 1997 and for lead in 2004 and 2024. Coming in fourth place with a 5 percent chance is Laura Wright (Carly Corinthos on General Hospital). She previously won the statuette in this category in 2011. Finally, there's Melissa Claire Egan (Chelsea Lawson on The Young and the Restless) at 3 percent. She's the only Best Drama Actress nominee this year who hasn't yet won a prize of her own. The 2025 Daytime Emmys take place on Oct. 17. In the meantime, here's what our users are saying in the forums: 'I'm never predicting Grahn or Bergman again! I understand why Grahn lost in 2017 (long reel that felt disjointed) but she should have won in 2018, 2021 & 2022 (supporting) based on submitted reels and still lost. They clearly love her because she gets nominated almost everytime she submits. But they obviously feel she's been rewarded enough and feel no need to reward her again no matter how good her reel is. Same for Bergman. He gets nominated all the time but hasn't won in more than 20 years. Every few years, pundits say his reel is the best in the category and this is the year he's finally gonna win again and he still loses.'

Beloved star who played iconic role for incredible 50 years as the first soap ‘vixen' dies aged 91
A BELOVED soap opera star who played an iconic character for 50 years has died, aged 91. Eileen Fulton, best known for her on and off portrayal of Lisa Miller in the popular show As the World Turns, died on July 14 in her hometown of Ashville, North Carolina. 4 Eileen Fulton has died, aged 91 Credit: The Mega Agency 4 The iconic actress was best known for her work on As the World Turns Credit: Alamy 4 She died in her hometown in North Carolina Credit: Alamy Her Fulton popularised her character Lisa with a "bad girl" aesthetic, winning the hearts of many at home - from 1960 all the way until 2010. The next door" figure. But after READ MORE CELEBRITY NEWS Her character was renowned for her "vixen" vibe - and Time magazine once described Fulton's Later on in the show, Lisa became a more gentle dame, with her personality maturing as both the actress and At one point during the show, Fulton famously had a "grandma clause" locked into her contract. This would have prevented the character of Lisa from having grandchildren - out of fear that it would make her seem old or irrelevant. Most read in Celebrity Her Fulton and Don Hastings - who played her first husband on the show - were also both given Lifetime Achievement honors at the Daytime Emmys. Eighties TV star with A-list actress daughter and famous ex passes away aged 78 after year-long battle with cancer Eileen Fulton was born as Margaret McClarty in Asheville in 1933. She moved homes frequently as a child due to her dad's vocation as a Methodist priest. By the age of two, she was already keen on acting. She interrupted one of her dad's services by singing the old folk song Shortnin' Bread - and the endured the resulting spanking, she told the Washington Post. Fulton majored in music at Greensboro College and her dad got her a job in a church choir. But she was dead-set on moving to New York City - with big dreams of "being the greatest actress on Broadway". She studied under renowned acting teachers Sanford Meisner and Lee Strasberg, as well as modern dance pioneer Martha Graham. And her journey continued after embarking on a showbiz career that finally took off in 1960 - when she was cast on As the World Turns. For the next 50 years, she repeatedly left the show. But she always wound up coming back - on one occasion commenting: "I've quit forever three times." Early on in the show, Fulton worked tirelessly to juggle the soap and the stage. She would film by day - acting in such shows as The Fantasticks - and act by night, in the Broadway production of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? for example. Her most enduring role, however, will always be known as her chic and ruthlessly conniving portrayal of Lisa on As the World Turns. Fan-favourite Lisa made a whopping eight thousand appearances on the show - cementing herself as a core presence on the soap opera. She was known for her quick-thinking improvised quips while performing live - and her character even got a brief spin-off called Our Private World in 1965. Alongside her soap work, she performed a touring cabaret act. She one said: "I love to sing. I love to make the audience cry. Of course, then I have to cheer them up." Fulton also wrote a string of novels during the 1980s and 1990s - including six murder mysteries and a roman à clef called Soap Opera. She is survived by one of her two brothers, both of her sisters-in-law and her niece, as well as a grandnephew and grandniece. 4 She played her iconic role for 50 years Credit: Alamy
