"Wanna be on top?" Tyra Banks challenges wannabe models in the theme song for America 's Next Top Model. Surely, she has indeed been there and done that, but as clich? as it may sound, she says that it is in fact quite lonely when you're at the pinnacle of success. She's been working non-stop for the past years, with America 's Next Top Model becoming a super hit reality series, and launching her career as a talk show host on her very own show, Tyra. But as the saying goes, fame has a price to pay, and in this case, her success has cost her some peace in her personal life.
In an interview with Essence magazine, Tyra admitted, "I'd go to work and women would be crying in my arms on the talk show. 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."
Tyra also recently talked about wanting to adopt a child, but admits that she kind of placed that on her not-so-important list. She said, "After the talk show started, and I had [Americas Next] Top Model at the same time, it engulfed me so much that it dulled my maternal instinct'I hope that when I get more of a handle on my life it comes back."
Although Tyra admits to being lonely, recent reports have linked her to 50-year-old investment banker John Utendahl, but as of now, it doesn't look like she has even the time to foster a romantic relationship due to her focus on her career.
In response to rumors about Tyra moving to New York from Los Angeles to pursue the romantic relationship, she replied, "I'm very insulted by that rumor. I employ a lot of people; their livelihoods rest on my shows. The move to New York was a decision I made with my manager. It was not about a man."

Tyra Banks is one smart entrepreneur as she has successfully conquered the media industry after her also successful career as a top runway model. Her reality series, America 's Next Top Model, has become a TV hit, despite the latest season garnering negative reactions from fans. Moreover, she's an aspiring talk show host who's landed her own show, Tyra. She's far from what Oprah has become, but she's slowly but surely making a name in the talk show industry. After her string of successes, she was finally recognized by one of the most popular magazines in America , thus naming her "Woman of the Year."
Despite recently complaining about being in the tabloid spotlight, Tyra Banks is now grateful to receive the "Woman of the Year" title from OK! Magazine, which recognized her for being the "complete package." The America 's Next Top Model also took this opportunity to speak her mind about body image.
"I love my curves," Tyra Banks said in an interview with the magazine. "I've made millions of dollars with this body."
Moreover, she believes that more women should be comfortable with their own curves, and wishes that there should not be much negativity around not fitting into a size 2.
"An average American woman is size 12 or 14," Banks explained. "So if I look like a 10 or 12 in a picture and someone says I look disgusting, are they saying the majority of America is disgusting? That made me really upset, and that's why I decided to fight back."
Banks believes that the more curvy celebrities there are, the more the situation would be alleviated.
"Right now, there are some great things happening," she said. "There's America Ferrera, Jennifer Hudson, Beyonc?, Jennifer Lopez and myself: women who have curves. But I still feel like this skinny image is heralded. It's very confusing for young girls."
Speaking of confused, some America 's Next Top Model viewers were pondering on Sarah Hartshone's elimination for being too curvy. Of course, we are all still on the lookout for the day that a really curvy woman would emerge victorious from the reality show. With Tyra Banks spearheading the campaign, it might not be too long before someone does.
