Tyra Banks leaving her TV talk show

Tyra Banks is said to be closing down her talk show to pursue new career options.

"This will be the last season of 'The Tyra Show,'" she tells People.com. "I've been loving having fun, coming into your living rooms, bedrooms, hair salons for the past 5 years."

Industry insiders say she will focus on bringing positive images of women to the big screen.

"My next huge steps will allow me to reach more women and young girls to help us all feel as fierce as we truly are," she says.

Tyra will continue to be a mentor on "America's Next Top Model" and produce her new ABC show "True Beauty."
