Name: sultry
Comment: Alright Eva you better slow your rope , you know Tyra know about the biz, you better try and learn all you can for her and then get her advice because you will end up a nobody. Take your time and get all the imfo that you need because I am sure that you do not know it all.

Name: sultry
Comment: Eve and another thing if it ain't broke don't fix it!

Name: StormyMonday
Comment: All change isn't bad, and I'm sure Tyra understands Eva's need for change. It's the business, surely there's no love lost.

Name: shakaz0117
Comment: I didn't realize she was that young.

Name: McNasty
Comment: It's time for her to move on, she's grown a lot since her season on that show and has a lot of exposure under her belt now. No point continuing to hang on to the tit.

Name: HoneyMack
Comment: Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

Name: MDhornet
Comment: LOL at McNasty. Hang on to the tit!!! How do y'all come up with this stuff?

Name: MOTHERSHIP
Comment: I agree that a change may be in order. And that last name had to go. I think this will be a good look.

Name: khufu
Comment: why is she letting them go?

Name: McNasty
Comment: Why not? there's only so much Tyra can do for her - at some point (now) she has to branch out and allow other managers to use their imagination and influence on her if she expects longevity and success - I'd have left too with the offer to rid myself of such a horrific last name!

Name: AquaBoogie
Comment: what's wrong with 'Pigford'?

Name: gingerg
Comment: This little diva has got it twisted. Tyra has forgotten more than Eva will ever know about the modeling business. She is also a savvy business woman.

Name: Gurlfrand
Comment: Good for Eva - Tyra helped launch her, but, it is time to move on. Interesting that she's dropping her last name, which I can see why in some respect, but, victoria secret supermodel Gizelle Buudcheen (sp) doesn't seem to have a problem with her name in the business!

Name: Southernbelle
Comment: True, Tyra is very business savvy and has been in the modeling business for a long time. But, Tyra is also competition. Not only does she still continue to model but she may also serve as manager to the other girls that win. Maybe Eva didn't feel like she could grow under Tyra's wings and decided to seek management where she would be the central focus. Never the less, she's made her choice and I hope for her sake it was a good one.

Name: DCGG
Comment: Oh bytch please you are and will always be Eva Pigfoot to me!! Besides a "real" diva would work it with that name regardless...

Name: gingerg
Comment: I hear the girl who won last year isn't getting much work. She's country, but rather cute. Also, I'm not impressed by this year's crop of girls.

Name: McNasty
Comment: AquaBoogie check DCGG's post and I hope the question is answered for you.lmao

Name: bigfriend
Comment: people are still going to know her as pigford, why does she think it will change?

Name: ATLGirl
Comment: Pigford is rather hard sounding name, but there's nothing wrong with it. Many people change their stage names. Eva Pigford is not a household name, so it's not a big deal that's she's changing her last name...

Name: Southernbelle
Comment: While Pigford is not the most marketable name it is the name given to her by the same two people who created that beautiful face. I don't see the big deal in the name anyway. A name shouldn't affect her career as a model. Now if she wakes up one day with a pig's face then that might lol.

Name: sgrantla
Comment: I want to know why Benny Medina keeps getting dropped as a manager.

Name: ChocolateBrownGal
Comment: More power to you Eva! I agree w/ Mc Nasty. Change can be good if you are well informed and getting good counsel. I think she'll be fine...as long as she doesn't follow the antics of Naomi C. And heck I think she's a lot more attractive than Tyra fo sho'! Let's hope that Tyra doesn't try to sabotage the sistah! Sometimes Tyra can be a bit of a stank arse know it all. IMO

Name: AquaBoogie
Comment: >McNasty, ok it's clear to me now LOL. I bet she caught tall hell in grammar school: Pigfoot, Pigskins, Pigsnouts, hey Eva OINK OINK OINK...

Name: Train
Comment: Exactly what purpose do models serve?

Name: B00TANEB00TUS
Comment: That little pigford went wee-wee-wee and now Tyra's gone

Name: Gurlfrand
Comment: Not much Train - which is why they try to jump ship into some other gig as quickly as they become famous, cause historically, they have always been "branded" as only beautiful, but brainless. Cindy Crawford, though, dropped out to have kids the last few years, was unsuccessful at launching a movie career. I think Lauren Hutton, from the 70's, early 80's did well in movies. Beverly Johnson also tried it in the early 80's.

Name: sultry
Comment: boot you are hilarious!!But guess what Tyra ain't gone the little piggie will have to run all the way back home to Tyra just you watch and see

Name: lilmocc
Comment: They keep dropping Benny Medina BUT they usually turn right back around and go back to him. I heard he is very good at what he does, but is tough and goes to bat frequently for his clients.

Name: whynotme
Comment: --->Train they serve no purpose but to make some peole feel inadequate about themselves and think they should look like them.....which basically is no purpose at all.

Name: Merd325
Comment: Southernbelle>my thoughts exactly. Tyra definitely have too much on her plate to be focus on each individual.

Name: my3pluscents
Comment: I will bet money that Tyra is going to let both of them silly twins win. This is the twist to this years finale. They are horrible, but week after week, they both stay....Watch and stay tuned

Name: Peekiebear
Comment: Sorry, but Tyra has been all through the extremely harsh world of modeling. They don't mind telling you that you look like a "pig" simply because you're not the right "type" when in fact you may be gorgeous. A model's life is extremely short, and if I were Ms. Pigford I'd get on my knees and thank Tyra (and a few others) that: a Black woman CAN be beautiful; that she doesn't have to be 18, and that she can have a very successful life after modeling ends. Find out how racist modeling really is Ms. Pigford, because it really is. It isn't about how beautiful you are, because most of it is out of your hands. But Tyra can navigate that world with the best of them. I predict a short shelf life for you. And yes, I would have canned that last name as soon as I was 16.

Name: karamelky
Comment: WHO ARE YOU AND WHO REALLY CARES?

Name: Train
Comment: Black women are beautiful and we don't need a t.v. show to tell us that. I do like how Tyra Banks have parlayed her modeling gig into building an empire which is great. I think the young sistahs out there should look at that and realize the economic gains from realizing your full potential. Hell, I was raised by a beautiful black woman who instilled in me (along with my Pop) an appreciation for my Sistahs and I wake up every morning next to a beauitful black woman everyday...thank the Lord!!!!

Name: McNasty
Comment: AquaBoogie with a little more forethought she could have dropped that last name long before she left the school and with the imagination of kids now - I'm sure no one would have known what my last name was!

Name: duckapoo
Comment: I'm with Train. Models are human clothes hangers who sometimes make alot of money and then put most of it up their noses. If they are lucky, they will find some pot head rocker to marry and support them for the rest of their worthless lives.

Name: jazzfan
Comment: >Train: Most models have little in common with "real" women, especially sistas. Hell, if I ran into any of the so called supermodels on the street I would probably offer to buy them a meal, no in a date type of way, but because they look like they're starving.

Name: TesticAl
Comment: I'm proud to say that both of these women are from my home town, INGLEWOOD! There's some fine women out here. Take a trip to Cali and I'll show y'all around. Ya DIG.

Name: Untouchable
Comment: With a name like Pigford, I can't blame her.

Name: katgrrrl
Comment: I love the new name! And by firing Tyra, she just might be doing Tyra a favor. Tyra's busy with her tv shows and production company and God only knows what else. Benny Medina, why come everytime his name comes up as someone's manager, the person he's representing gets the "demanding diva" reputation? Good luck Eva and continued success...like she's gonna read this, lol.
