Rumor mills were recently buzzing that Tyra Banks was overheard saying, “[Britney] should just go ahead and kill herself after the album and go out like Marilyn [Monroe], very grand. She should have done it after the last album.”

Tyra Banks is denying the Britney Spears comment, saying the diss is completely untrue. In a statement, Tyra Banks said, “Britney is a friend and we correspond with each other. These alleged statements are completely false.”

Now how about Tyra’s reaction to Janice Dickinson’s fat comment? We’re waiting, Miss Banks.
