Tyra Banks has announced that she will be discontinuing her daily talk show later this year, according to People.com.

"This will be the last season of 'The Tyra Show,'" Banks said. "I've been loving having fun, coming into your living rooms, bedrooms, hair salons for the past five years."

The Emmy Award winning series will air its last first-run episode this Spring.

Tyra is leaving her show in order to concentrate on launching her film production shingle, Bankable Studios, which she intends to use to bring "positive images of women to the big screen."

"My next huge steps will allow me to reach more women and young girls to help us all feel as fierce as we truly are," Tyra said.

Yesterday on the season premiere of The Tyra Banks Show, Tyra finally solved the mystery of her real hair.

"I've worn weaves and wigs and pieces and clip-ons and clip-outs and clip-downs and around since I was 17-18 years old and I wanted to show the real me. I wanted to show the raw me," Tyra told her studio audience.

That she did. If you missed it yesterday, check out this clip of The Tyra Banks Show. And don't forget, The Tyra Banks Show airs weekdays from 3-5pm (with back-to-back episodes) on PIX!

The Tyra Banks Show won the Emmy for Outstanding Informative Talk Show at The 36th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards ceremony held last night at the Orpheum Theater in Hollywood.

This was Tyra's second win and her third nomination in the Outstanding Informative Talk Show category. Tyra has 5 Emmy wins under her belt and has received 14 nominations across all Emmy categories.

Last night she beat our Dr. Phil and The Doctors to take the prize!

Appearing on stage with her production crew in some red-orange number (don't ask me who she was wearing 'cause I know not of these things), Tyra accepted the award during a rushed speech.

"This is for the women out there that just do not feel beautiful that are watching TV right now that do not have time to do your makeup because you're running after your kids. I GET it. This is for the kids in high school that feel insecure when they walk onto that campus because they're surrounded by hate and...and...this is for YOU GUYS. You ROCK! We love you! Peace and love," Tyra said.

The Tyra Banks Show moves to the CW next Monday with back-to-back episodes airing M-F/3-5pm.

Tyra Banks is teasing her fans to promote the season premiere of her daily talk show which is moving to The CW this fall. As previously reported, Tyra is going weaveless and plans to show the world her real hair -- something not seen in public since, ummmm....forever (?). Tyra recently previewed her new look in a recent Twitter post, but you'll have to tune into the show for the big reveal because the pic that she posted blurs out the "good stuff."

On her Twitter page, Tyra tweeted a message to her fans with the blurred pic:

Here's me rockin my REAL hair, had 2 blur it so its still a surprise on Sept 8! Who else is sportin their real hair that day?

Tyra moves to The CW on Monday, September 7th with back-to-back shows airing from 3-5pm (4-5pm are originals). Tyra will "expose herself " on September 8th. :)

When the Tyra Banks Show jumps to The CW in September, Tyra will be exposing a part of herself that hasn't been seen in quite some time. Say hello to Tyra Banks au naturel. Gone is the weave. Yes, the hair that has rocked the catwalks and the judging panel at America's Next Top Model will be gone.

Tyra recently took to her Twitter account and revealed her plans:

"Guess What! I'm rockin' my REAL hair on my talk show September 8th. No fake hair at all! Will be the hair coming out of my scalp! 4 all 2 C!" She added, "no ponytails, no ballet bun head. hair will be out and free!"

This was followed by an official press release where Tyra announced:

"This season on The Tyra Show we're taking it to the next level and getting more real than ever before by encouraging women everywhere to own and rock what they've got and be proud!"

"For the season 5 premiere, I will be doing just that - no fake hair, I'm rocking my REAL hair. This will all be going down on September 8, 2009, which we're declaring National Real Hair Day! We welcome everyone to go natural with me!"

Keeping with the theme of encouraging women to be proud of what they've got, the new cycle of America's Next Top Model, will feature a roster of contestants who are all 5' 7" or shorter, well below the industry standard.

The Tyra Banks Show moves to The CW on September 7th. America's Next Top Model returns with a 2-hour premiere beginning at 8pm on, Wednesday, September 9th.

Tyra Banks is shooting new episodes of her daytime talk show which will be moving to The CW this fall! Tickets are currently available for tapings of The Tyra Banks Show on Tuesday, September 15th and Wednesday, September 16th. Tyra Banks tapes her show at:
