Tyra Banks would reportedly love ”nothing more” than to live in the White House.

The “America’s Next Top Model” presenter – who dressed as Michelle Obama, wife of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, for a photo shoot in Harper’s Bazaar magazine recently – is said to dream of being the First Lady of the United States.

A friend told gossip website MSNBC: “I think she actually could see herself in the White House. No, not as President, but First Lady? She’d love nothing more.”

In the accompanying interview in Harper’s Bazaar, Tyra insisted Michelle Obama’s role in the White House is as important as her husband’s.

She said: “With Barack Obama, his becoming president is them becoming president because Michelle was there from the beginning.”

“Without Michelle, he wouldn’t be there – Michelle Obama, you’re one hot mama!”

Tyra is not the only celebrity who has expressed a desire to live in the US President’s official residence.

Paris Hilton recently revealed she wants to move into the house and “paint it pink” in a spoof video as a response to Republican candidate John McCain’s anti-Obama video which featured footage of the hotel heiress used without her permission.

Supermodel turned talk show host Tyra Banks has split with her manager, Benny Medina.

According to a joint statement, Medina insisted that while his Handprint Entertainment will no longer be taking care of Banks’ career, he was looking forward to future ventures with her.

“Tyra Banks is a highly regarded artist, entrepreneur and producer, and I respect her vision for developing her own bankable brand. Tyra and Handprint Entertainment look forward to the opportunity to work together on existing or new ventures. ‘This is a great thing for everyone involved’,” New York Daily News quoted Medina, as saying.

Meanwhile according to a source at TelePictures, Banks was tired of Medina’s suggestions and demands.

“His perk list is bigger than hers. Everything from private jets and votive candles that the staff has to light before he gets to the set. He forgot who the star was,” the source said.

However, TelePictures rep dismissed these reports.

“We have a good relationship with Benny, and we appreciate his contributions to the show. He will continue as an executive consultant on the show,” the rep said.

Rumours are also rife that Banks newfound beau investment manager John Utendahl might have suggested for the break up, her pal has denied the speculations.

“John had nothing to do with this,” the pal said.

Reports said that the former supermodel is dating John Utendahl of Wall Street’s Utendahl Capital Partners.

The news comes after ‘Tyra Banks show’ announced that the stunning cat-walker is planning a move from Los Angeles to New York, reports the New York Daily News.

However, there have been no comments from Banks or her new beau.

Meanwhile, Banks has signed a deal to keep ‘America’s Next Top Model’ on air though 2009-10.

The ‘America’s Next Top Model’ host admits that she would love to get married and start a family, but fears that her fame scares men off.

“I want to get married and have kids but the more successful I get, the less interested guys are,” The Bosh quoted her, as saying.

Banks also reveals that all hopes of getting into a serious relationship were shattered when she started her talk show.

“I was like, ‘It’s going to be so much easier now because they’re going to see that I’m normal and goofy,’ but it’s worse!” she says.

Still, Tyra insists that she isn’t yet ready to give up without a fight.

“I’m not living in fear. You’ve just got to time it right,” Banks said.

The show, which sources tell us won’t include any clips of her husband, soccer God David Beckham, or their three children, will feature 32-year-old Beckham’s own designs, and will follow the same format as America’s Next Top Model. This, however, will focus more on the clothes.

The shocking part is that Beckham’s manager, Simon Fuller, told London’s Evening Standard that NBC has “really taken a shine to Vic’s hilarious sense of humor, and they want to capitalize on this.” We didn’t realize that Posh could crack a smile, let alone tell a good fart joke.

The former Spice Girl hasn’t commented on the new series yet, but her reps say to expect more documentary and less drama. What? No walk offs, or “Auf Wiedersehens?” Make it work, Girl.

Former supermodel Tyra Banks has asked acclaimed poet and writer Dr Maya Angelou to help her out in finding a suitable lover, after admitting on the author’s radio show she wants romance in her life to spice it up.

During a recent appearance on Angelou’s Oprah + Friends satellite radio program, the former catwalk star told her host that she’s eager to add love to her dull and busy life.

“I know you know somebody that’s a nice, upstanding young gentleman that you can hook me up with,” Contactmusic quoted Banks, 32, who’s convinced Angelou would be the perfect person to help her find her companion, as saying.

In her reply, Angelou advised Banks to slow her life down a little and pen a poem about her perfect man.
