Janice Dickinson Defends Hewitt In A Bikini As Healthy: "Tyra Banks Is Fat"

The Today Show is not one to miss an opportunity to show off the Jennifer Love Hewitt bikini pictures.

They continued the streak today by inviting Janice Dickinson, the self-described first supermodel, and discussed whether a size 2 is fat. Janice defended Hewitt, called her "healthy" and "not emaciated." She continued, "You want to see someone who's fat, I'm sorry, Tyra, Tyra Banks is fat." Banks used to be Dickinson's boss in the early seasons of "America's Next Top Model" and has herself been the subject of unflattering bathing suit photos.

After she was confronted by Al Roker about the remark, she sort of backed off, but it's unclear if she was being genuine.

Tyra is voluptuous­. I love those curves! The one in the middle is all bones. Who would want to curl up with her?

I don't mean to sound like mean but Tyra is fat.

She keeps wearing waist belts to hold in her belly.

Its okay to have a little weight on your but Tyra's weight is too much for a presenter of America's next Top Model. She needs to get rid of those awful wigs as well. The colours are getting more blonder and they don't complement her skin.

Is she fat or extra large? Tyra wide load or make way cause mama's coming threw? I can see it either way. Oh who cares, she ain't small or skinny either way, flabby or just out of shape?

The only one of the three who isn't hot is the one in the middle.

Buh bye, Janice.

I don't even care what Janice looks like. She could be the most beautiful human being ever born (though she certainly isn't). It's her really nasty narcissist­ic personalit­y that makes my gums bleed. How in the world did this woman get a reality show?

I think Janice should be the last person to try and critize someoneslo­oks, especially when all her body parts are made out of plastic. Janice could be jealous of Tyra being that her show is flopping, not only are the models leaving but I think the roaches on the set have had enough!

Janice Dickinson: brainless dried, up prune of a celeb. First supermodel­? NOT! And by a long shot! Veruschka predated and was far more celebrated­. And even Twiggy was more powerful and is more memorable than this "whozat" model trying desperatel­y to prolong her 3-minutes of fame.

Why does The Today show pander to this paparazzi element at all?

JLH and Tyra: talented, accomplish­ed women who don't deserve this sh__.

I think the "fat" comment is ridiculous however, I do find it interestin­g that the plus size model is quickly kicked off by Tyra and the judges on her "America's Next Top Model" show. Yet I bet Tyra would classify as such in the mentioned photograph­.

Why is this still being talked about? These women are not fat. The only thing that was unflatteri­ng about Jennifer was the bathing suit itself not her body.

Someone needs to reposes Janice's BROOM.
