Phase Three of Tyra Banks’ Plan to Take Over the World is In Place

Tyra Banks to Produce DVDs based on Clique Novels

She’s got a talk show. She’s got ANTM. She’s got modeling gigs. And now it looks like Warner Bros wants to expand their relationship with Tyra, signing her to executive produce a series of direct-to-DVD films based on the popular young adult Clique novels.

“I’ve been a mean girl and I’ve been teased, so I identify with both sides of it,” Banks told Daily Variety. “This is very much my brand, especially as teenage girls are dedicated to watching both my shows.”

Variety also says:

The “America’s Next Top Model” producer-host has also carved out a series development deal with the CW, which is half-owned by Warners. Agreement covers both scripted and nonscripted projects.

Hyphenate is set to continue on “Top Model” and as host of her syndie gabber, which is produced via Warner’s Telepictures unit. “Top Model” has just begun lensing in Gotham on its 10th cycle.

I’m gonna translate from Variety-ese to English:

Tyra is also on the hook to develop one or more television series to air on the CW. These may be reality TV shows, or they may be standard sitcoms. Let’s all just pray they’re not dramas. Tyra continues to host ANTM and her talk show. ANTM has just begun filming its 10th cycle in NYC.

So basically:

Tyra Power!
