As part one of a three-book young adult fantasy series deal with Random House, Tyra Banks has announced her first novel, Modelland. "The story happens in a make-believe place called Modelland," Ms Banks explains. "Every girl in the world wants to go there because it’s where 'Intoxibellas' are trained. Intoxibellas are drop-dead beautiful, kick-butt fierce and maybe they have some powers too. The story follows a teen girl and her friends who find themselves magically transported to Modelland, even though they’re really not supposed to be there."
The 'book' is scheduled for a Summer 2011 release, and Ms Banks wants to turn the series into a movie franchise. The move into books, she says, signals the entrance into the "third stage" of her career. "I went from being a model to creating a production company. The third phase is not just TV production, but also film and a beauty Web portal."
I won't hold my breath if you won't.
