In breaking modeling news, Tyra Banks has re-signed with her agency of yore, IMG.

What this means: Tyra will probably be popping up on covers and in editorials very soon.

And what a perfect moment for the model-actress-host-novelist-photographer-mentor to segue back into modeling, right when curvy is in and the Glamazon might finally be backing a comeback.

It's a gold sparkly feather-shaped eye mask. Tyra wore one on Good Morning America yesterday and was thrilled when Robin Roberts asked her what the hell was going on with her face. Here was her explanation:
