TYRA BANKS TELLS CRITICS TO KISS IT

Today Tyra Banks had a message for rag mags who called her Porkchops: "Kiss my fat a--."

The former Victoria Secret model came on the set of her tak show clad in the same bathing suit that made headlines just three weeks ago.

Looking rather slim, Tyra told the studio audience, "Luckily, I'm strong enough and I have a good enough support system," Banks, 33, says. "I love my Mama, and she has helped me to be a strong woman so I can overcome these kinds of attacks, but if I had a lower self-esteem, I would probably be starving myself right now. That's exactly what is happening to other women all over this country."

Tyra, you go girl. You look good.
