Freida, 24, reveals she is a huge America’s Next Top Model fan and has an autographed photograph of Tyra hanging in her bedroom at home in India. She shared, “I was a big, big, big Tyra Banks admirer. So I had written an email to you [Tyra], to your website telling you how much I loved what you were doing and I would love to come out here and just get trained by you and then two weeks later I got a signed photograph of Tyra Banks! It was like the little kid who jumps in the cesspool [in Slumdog] and gets what he wants!”
Dev also reveals someone tried to sell him a bootleg copy of Slumdog: “Someone tried to sell me a pirate copy of my film when I was having my haircut. I was having a haircut and this little lady came in, Slumdog?…I was like, ‘No, I’ve seen it.’”

Whitney Port stops by The Tyra Banks Show to chat about her reality show The City, her fashion line Whitney Eve and her preference between East Coast and West Coast boys.
On being nervous about allowing the cameras to tape her personal life: “I am dating on the show. It was something I was really nervous about. Clearly, I mean, who wants to date while having three cameras around you? I mean, it’s not an ideal situation.”
On kissing boys on the show: “It’s natural. I just let my true feelings show, and then I can do no wrong.”
On being able to tell if her date just wants to be famous: “You can just tell through time, I feel I have a pretty good intuition. I kind of just sense it, it’s kind of like a gut feeling.”
On her preference when it comes to L.A. boys versus N.Y. boys: “L.A. guys, it’s all about the entertainment industry there. Everyone is kind of on a one tracked mind, you’re in kind of a bubble. Nothing against them, I grew up there, my best friends are there. New York guys just seem a little bit more cultured, a little more motivated, a little step out of the box more, more confident.”
On working for fashion legend Diane Von Furstenberg: “I’m learning so much from her. I feel like she’s established such a brand and such a company that I can learn so much in terms of my own clothing line. So its pretty cool for me right now.”
