Tyra Banks On Jimmy Kimmel, Talks 'Modelland' & Drugs (VIDEO)

Tyra Banks was in fine form last night, chatting with Jimmy Kimmel about her wacky new book, "Modelland."

As always, the model-turned-entrepreneur was chatty and upbeat, explaining yet again her novel's inane premise (at a fantasy model school girls try to become Intoxibellas, supermodels with superpowers...)

Luckily, Jimmy Kimmel, bless his snarky heart, actually came right out and said what we've all been thinking about Tyra's crazy project: "You were high when you wrote this book, weren't you?"

"I've never had a drug in my life, Jimmy," Tyra demurs. "I'm just flying on a natural high!"

Tyra doesn't do much to help her cause, going to on to describe the book's details in all their zany glory and admitting that she has a gay man living inside of her.

"You were definitely stoned when you wrote this thing," Jimmy insists, giggling. "It's actually printed on rolling papers."

Jimmy also calls Tyra out on her whole going-to-Harvard Business School venture, after she goes on and on about how hard it is (we're shocked!) So Jimmy just states the obvious: "Why are you doing this? You could buy Harvard if you wanted to, couldn't you?"

It's all funny stuff... that we would have paid even more attention to if we weren't so distracted by Tyra's GIANT hoop earrings.

Distracted by her big hoop earrings? Where do you live that you haven't seen such big hoop earrings? Whoever wrote this needs to get out more.

You hang clothes on a mannequin. A model is a basically a mannequin that walks. So would a super model be a mannequin that can walk and chew gum at the same time?

I LOVE JIMMY KIMMEL!!!! JIMMY K is the best! He just said and asked what many of us were thinking. I mean, really, I don't think J.K Rowling will be losing any sleep over Ms. Banks' venture into the world of writing, though I'm not convinced that Ms. Banks' idea is entirely an original concept.

Jimmy Kimmel for President!

Tyra was ok when she was in magazines all pretty and SILENT and I didn't have to hear her idiocy.

Who the hell wrote this article? They were distracted by her giant hoop earrings??? I think any observant person would have been more distracted by that thick green ribbon that she had trying to hide the girlies. I like Tyra, but the ribbon thing looked tacky!!!

And that dress! How weird. Black gown was classy but what was that police-tape-in-green wrapped over her breasts?

I saw her. She's embarrassing. Her hair was a mess. And she's certainly not bright enough to write a novel. She couldn't even explain it properly. America: The incredible land where you can get ahead even with little talent.

She is always classy looking. WTG Tyra!

Bad things happen when models attempt to do anything more complex than converting oxygen to carbon dioxide.
