Tyra Banks Will Be Fierce on 'Gossip Girl'

Former model-turned-media mogul Tyra Banks will guest star on the CW series Gossip Girl this fall. Remarkably, Banks will not be playing herself. She will appear as an actress co-starring in a film with Hilary Duff’s character in the fourth episode of the show's upcoming third season.

This is Banks' first acting gig since guest starring in a 2004 episode of American Dreams.
