'My boobs are real'

New York - Talk about keeping it real: Tyra Banks underwent a televised sonorgram on her new talk show to prove her breasts weren't fake.
"I'm tired of this rumour. It's something that's followed me forever," said the supermodel on Tuesday on The Tyra Banks Show.
After Banks asked the men in the audience to leave, Dr Garth Fisher from ABC's Extreme Makeover performed a touch test and then the sonorgram.
He concluded: "Tyra Banks has natural breasts; there are no implants."
The 31-year-old model said: "By no means am I saying a breast implant is a bad thing, but it's not a choice that I made.
"But it's something that a lot of the public ... think that I have, and that's so frustrating for me."
Banks, who models for Victoria's Secret, also displayed how her push-up bra exaggerated her body. However, Banks said she was not totally real.
"I got fake hair, y'all. I got fake eyelashes."
The hour-long show was, as Banks declared, "all about breasts!"
It also featured lessons on proper fitting and an appearance from a slimmed-down Anna Nicole Smith.
Aside from her syndicated daytime talk show, Banks also hosts America's Next Model.
