Tyra Graduates From Harvard Business School
Tyra Banks has been taking classes in Harvard Business School’s Owner/President Management Program on the low since 2010. And all her hard work paid off in February when she graduated from the program and took over campus snapping photos with her mom.
Tyra says that now that she’s completed the program (which runs for three years in three week increments) she’s already applying what she’s learned to her brand and she’s ready to get back to work. First on the agenda is a new season of ANTM, which is being called the “college edition.” Tyra said she’s already inspired a lot of women to go back to college through Twitter. Now, she’s taking her thirst for knowledge back to all the young girls who watch her show.
Check out excerpts from her post-graduation interview with Harvard Business School below:
On how she’s applied what she’s learned in the program to her business
After my first term at Harvard, I came back and killed a whole bunch of businesses we were going to go into. We have to say no more often than we say yes, no matter how much money people put on that goddamned table. Harvard is all about innovation and being first to market. It’s something I’m constantly bringing back to my team, whether it’s my soldiers or my generals. I give them challenges and homework and brainstorming sessions to bring the culture that I’m learning at school into my own business. I’m supposed to see a business plan on Thursday and I learned that the differentiation wasn’t in there yet, and I said, “You guys know that needs to be in there before I see it.”
On which subjects came naturally
In second term we talked about a tactic that’s highly risky—you take such a leap forward in one direction that you burn the bridge to go backward. I thought, “Oh my gosh, is that what I did when I retired from modeling and walked off the Victoria’s Secret runway and told the entire world ‘I am retired!’ before I even had my talk show renewed?” I knew with my gut that I was making myself accountable to the entire world so I couldn’t go backward. But I didn’t understand that these were tactics and strengths I had. My marketing professor Rohit Deshpande is now doing a case study on my business, so I’m now going to be part of the Harvard Business School curriculum.
Doesn’t that make you a little worried?
Of course you’ve got to be worried because these guys are going to come and tear apart your company. As the protagonist of the case, I am welcome to be in the classroom when they present it. So it is like free advice—free, harsh, honest, unfiltered advice. I just have to put on my armor to go there.
On if there were any surprises
Our leadership professor, Robert Steven Kaplan, was the vice-chairman of Goldman Sachs before he left to become a professor at Harvard. The difference in income he now gets is staggering. He is constantly trying to teach us to not chase the dollar but to make a difference. I thought we’d be taught “profit, profit, profit, win, win, win, go, go, go.” Instead, we were hearing about the importance of exposing vulnerability to your team. It’s soft stuff, talk-show stuff.
On if she thinks that going to Harvard has changed how people view her
On Twitter and Facebook, a lot of people comment about wanting to go back to school or reach their goals. I see it almost as much as women talking about feeling better about their bodies and their curves. It used to be that 80 percent of what I’d hear was about beauty and body image. Now it’s about education and empowerment. It’s an interesting thing when it comes to branding, which we’re trying to figure out as a company.
On how she believes her peers would benefit
A lot of people in the industry—very famous people—have come up to me and said, “I want to go, too.” I also look at what Lady Gaga is doing and think it’s near-genius. Had I not gone to Harvard, I’m not sure I would have seen it as a marketing play. I would have just said, “Oh, she’s popular.” Now I see how smart she is. It’s a true, clear, executed plan.

Andre 3000 Might Finally Drop A Solo Album This Year
GQ: A new ‘Kast album!
Andre 3000: There’s been a lot of talk on the Internet about an OutKast album and I have to say that as of now, there are no plans for another OutKast album. There’s a lot of music on the horizon. I’ve been living off the excitement of new artists. I’ve been privileged to have these new artists kind of reach out and grab back and say, “Hey, Andre, we want you on this song.” So I’ve been taking those calls and for the last two years, I’ve been doing collaborations. So these new artists have kind of been keeping me alive. I’ve just really been feeding off of that and this year I think I’m planning to do a solo project. I don’t know when it will come out, but hopefully it’ll come out this year. As far as OutKast, I really don’t know if or when that will happen.Full Interview: GQ
Megan Fox Swears: I Wasn't Always Pretty!
"I was never the pretty girl," Fox says of her life as a teenager, adding that she was "abrasive" and "obnoxious" back then.
The actress says she was "ostracized" growing up, partly due to her unusual interests. Which she still possesses. "I would love to go on a dig!" Fox says, detailing her fascination with ancient civilizations and also saying she's a conspiracy theorist: "Come on! You don't think everything that's learned is released to the public, do you?"

Jay-z Hits Up Z100 With Rita Ora, Introduces New Song “Party And Bullsh-t”
Looks like there is a new Roc Nation princess on the rise….
Jay-z took a break from Daddy duty earlier today to promote his new artist Rita Ora who signed with Roc Nation a little over two years ago. He arrived at Z100 radio station with Rita in tow to introduce her stateside debut, ‘Party and Bullsh-t’. On the new track, which has a ‘California Gurls’ vibe, the British songbird gets drunk off of love while waking up to a hangover with her boo by her side. It’ll take more than a little migraine and retina-burning sunlight to stop Rita’s party from rocking.
“I stumble up to the windowOpen the curtains to blinding lightMake up all over the pillowWhat went on? What went on?What went on last night?You look so sweet while you’re dreamingHolding your bottle of TanquerayCan’t find your clothes from last eveningBaby, that’s how I know you’re the one for me”
All that was missing was a lil verse from Hov…

National Enquirer Defends Whitney Houston Death Photo as "Beautiful"
he National Enquirer has an extraordinarily warped sense of beauty.
With every media outlet and Twitter account holder in shock and disgust over that tabloid publishing a photo of Whitney Houston in her casket, courtesy of last Saturday's funeral in New Jersey, the tabloid's publisher, Mary Beth Wright, spoke to Fox News yesterday and actually said:
“I thought it was beautiful."
This isn't the first time the National Enquirer has invoked such controversy and outrage. In 1977, the newspaper published an image Elvis Presley in his coffin, and it also ran a a photograph of John Lennon following his death in 1980.

NEWS: Miami DA Considers Arrest Warrant for Chris Brown
According to TMZ.com, a woman’s story about troubled singer Chris Brown snatching her cell phone was credible enough for the DA to consider taking out a warrant for his arrest.
According to TMZ, Christal Spann, 24, filed a police report Sunday for “robbery by snatching.” She claimed she followed Chris and rapper Tyga as they were leaving Cameo nightclub in Miami early Sunday morning. She said she got close enough to snap a picture of Chris and Tyga as they sat in his Bentley.
That’s when, according to the police report, Chris flipped out, rolled down his car window and grabbed her cell phone, saying, “Bitch, you’re not gonna put that on the Internet.”
According to the police report, Chris then rolled up his window and sped off, taking the $500 iPhone with him.
There is no indication in the police report what Chris Brown and Tyga were doing in the picture, and why it was so important for Chris to jeopardize his probation status to prevent Crystal from uploading the photo to the Internet.
The most important thing is: if Brown is arrested, he will violate his probation in California for the Rihanna assault case — and he will be thrown in jail to serve out his sentence!
This story is developing…

Aunt Vivian to Wendy Williams: You Crucified Whitney & You’re the BIGGEST Bully
You said that morning with tears in your eyes, that you would not discuss Whitney any further, but you crucified her the whole time she was alive, as you do so many people on your show. I want to ask you why? What do you get out of this besides money?
I know I am going to suffer some arrows for writing this letter to you, I know you are loved by many, but remember this Wendy; they love you when you are up and they love to take you down. You will not always be up, you will not always be on the A list and attend all the parties. Ride the wave sister girl, but make sure you know how to swim when the ride is over. Artists are survivors, we work hard to build our crafts and careers and I ask that you simply remember that in the future.
I’m just sayin’ it like l mean it too.
