Tyra Covers Essence+Dr. West's Autopsy Report Completed+More Eddie & Tracey Wedding Pics

Jan 11 | by Natasha

Tyra Banks is covering the pages of the February issue of Essence. And is looking fabulous. Just in time for the Valentine's issue, she's talking about how her life feels unfulfilled since she's not a mother and not a wife. Tyra tells Essence:

"I'd go to work and women would be crying in my arms on the talk show. But then I'd go home and put my key in my door and ... nothing: no friends, no husband, no children. I feel so full when I'm at work but so empty when I come home."

I'm sure her investment banker boyfriend John Utendahl can help cure those issues sometime soon.

The autopsy report is in and Dr. Donda West was determined to have heart disease. She died due to the heart disease and multiple post-operative factors. Still so sad. Keep ya head up 'Ye. Here's more pics from the Eddie/Tracey wedding:

Tracey's gown was designed by Jill Baracci and stylist Sugia Nazel. Neither of their kids were there, but the couple wrapped strands of beads engraved with the kids' names around each other to remember them. No Johnny Boy Gill either? Shocker. UPDATE: Johnny Boy Gill was indeed there. In fact, he was the best man. Shocker times 2. {Thanks VTChick}

My fabulous friend Karu over at AOL is talking about Kimora's new PETA ad. Chick stays nekkid in her ads right? Oh well. Can we really blame her though? The Randomness:

The Golf Channel chick who joked about lynching Tiger Woods has been suspended for 2 weeks.

Keep your head up Ty...your day will come :-)[/quote] I was thinking the same thing. Chick stays in a mink, all day, everyday![/quote] Man we read each others minds... but look at the tag line: don't chain/abuse dogs. Its about the dogs. I guess they felt after the whole Mike Vick thing they needed a good black celeb and who are they to deny her fabulousity??? (Plus they know she will cuttt them!!)

Also, since the final report

Also, since the final report is out on Dr. West's death, will the blog sites take the time to repudiate all the ish they wrote about Dr. Adams? Basically the woman was in NO shape to undergo the knife with 50-70% artery blockage! That was not his fault!

She was told by another surgeon not to have the surgery. To go under the knife and anetheisa(sp) for a C Section even has its risks. Hope the West family is alittle more at peace.

I think they were saying that

I think they were saying that she went to an ETHICAL plastic surgeon who refused to operate because of her condition or - at least - a follow-up on her condition. Old boy took her on, DESPITE the fact. With that said (if this information is correct), he - along with Dr. West - is at fault and his ethics are questionable.

Miss Tyra can get her a baby

Miss Tyra can get her a baby if she wants or she can keep holding out for a hubby and date her butt off in the mean time. I just don't see how any person can be lonely if they don't want to. I'm sure she has friends. Hang out with them at home if you want. I thought Kimora was a fur wearer. I guess she goes artificial. They definately make some really nice ones that are expensive as hell. Tracy's dress is lovely. People, who seems to have the exclusive on their play wedding reported the not only was Johnny Gill there, but he was the best man. I find it amazing that Tracy is still going by Edmonds when she got that name from a previous husband. Even if this marraige is fake, that is pretty weird.

Random Q: Is Angela Simmons

Random Q: Is Angela Simmons with, or ever was with Bow Wow? I always wondered WHY she wanted to move to LA so badly this past year. Tyra moving to NY for a man.. hilarity. Tyra keeps it real! And she's human, we've all felt that way and its perfectly fine for her to feel that way as well. Eddie not acknowledging child... We do not know what goes on behind closed doors. There's been little said the last few months about him & Mel B's goings on. We do not know what Eddie tells Tracy, etc.; again, these are human people as well, they can make mistakes like we do, live with guilt like we do, have issues like we do... I just think (and hope) there's more going on here than what TMZ or YBF may report!

the piece on tyra in essence

the piece on tyra in essence was ok...just ok. i do feel her on the loneliness aspect...sometimes we can become so career-driven that we lose track of the human/personal side of our personal lives. i wish her the best in whatever she does. she's comes across as very sincere and down-to-earth.

Tracy and Eddie are both

Tracy and Eddie are both foul. They love each other enough to get married, but not legally. Tracy doesn't want to stop hitting Babyface in the pocket, so what does that say about her?!?!?! She's a skank and Eddie's a f*#. I wish them nothing good.

[quote comment="25133"]why is

[quote comment="25133"]why is the lady being suspended for what she said... tiger aint black remember there is only 20% black what does he call himself Cablinasian... did she put her foot in her mouth yes big time... was it targeted towards the black community no... thats like me seeing a pic of a thin person and be like damn he skinny like a holocust victim... to later find out that the person is jewish.... tiger dont want to be black dont identify with being black so this comment shouldnt matter... i say lynch all the time... i think we are getting overly sensitive these days[/quote] You sound silly. It doesn't matter if he is 5% black, the statement was offensive to all black people. If you say it all the time then you have a problem too. Did you forget your history?

Lol @ the comments about

Lol @ the comments about Eddie and Tracy. But something is def. off about them too. I would never marry a man who just had a child and pretty much said F**k that kid. Just wrong. Tyra looks gorg on that cover, but it's sad she feels that way. It goes to show you tho that all the success, money, and beauty in the world can't make you happy. Blaah at Kimora. Put ya clothes on. We know you don't look that good naked heffa.

They had a Anna Nicole/Howard Stern commitment ceremory. They said they are going to get married in the States soon with friends and family.

If that doesn't give you enough insight into that person's character, nothing will. Ladies, you would do well to take notice of how a man treats the people in his life, especially his own flesh and blood. That "new car" smell wears off after a while. I am sensing a marriage of convenience in sheep's clothing.
