Will the truth set them free?

We'll meet an 11-year-old girl who wrote to Tyra desperately asking for help. Tyra will help confront her mother about parenting. Then, more truth comes out when we meet a handful of guests who, for the first time, will reveal hidden secrets to their mates! One lady is ready to tell her fiancé about her secret second career as a topless masseur. Also, one guest is here to find out the truth: Is his girlfriend cheating on him... with another woman? Lastly, the ex-wife of the DC sniper speaks out for the first time.

Psychotherapist, Dr. Garry Corgiat, is an expert on addiction and offers this insight into addiction and obsessive bahavior.

1. Remember all addictions don't start out as an addiction, they start out as behavior that makes us feel good, or takes away our focus on what makes us feel bad. It is an action that relieves our pain and anxiety, or distracts us from something else in our lives, like low self esteem, a bad relationship, or a bad job. An addiction is a behavioral disease that grows stronger over time.

2. There is a crossover point when we can't stop the behavior anymore, even if we want to, wish we could, or think we should. What we once could control, now has control of us. We start to accommodate to it by lying, and keeping secrets to support continuing it. We lie to ourselves by rationalizing or denying, and we hide our behavior from others because we know down deep inside that there is something wrong with it. Still we can't stop thinking about it, or doing it.

Tyra wants you to show your beauty inside and out!

Head over to her online magazine and check out her B.I.O campaign.

We're taking beauty to the streets!

Tyra is sending out a team of very opinionated guests in search of candidates for a major makeover overhaul. We'll have the guests bring the candidates back to the studio... and find out what it was like being ambushed by a total stranger! Then we'll send them off to be transformed! Later, we're talking all things curly when we meet blogger Curly Nikki and find a new way to get the wavy look. Finally, a makeover dream come true when Tyra grants the wish of a woman with cerebral palsy.

Losing sucks.

As someone who has competed, coached and rooted for teams, I can tell you it's a pretty bad feeling. But defeat doesn't just occur in sports; we can suffer it in regular, everyday life as well - as we all know firsthand.

There is no way to get through life without defeats, setbacks and pitfalls... in fact, those "losing" moments actually make us better and help us to enjoy our victories that much more. The idea that whatever doesn't kill us makes stronger, and that our greatest accomplishments come out of our most bitter defeats -- it's nothing new.

But after talking a friend through a family issue, I realize that sometimes we hurt ourselves in how we define defeat.

It's a stereotype stand-off!

Tyra's doing a social experiment to find out what folks think of each other -- just from one quick look. We'll set up a group of "judgers" and have them tell us what they think of people just from seeing their picture. Then they'll come face-to-face with the people they made their snap-judgments about. Finally, guests confront their family members for perpetuating certain stereotypes.

Later, a 34-year-old woman whose legs won't stop growing! Her custom-made shoes cost $3,800 a pair because her right foot alone is 16" long and 7" wide! She'll share her shocking story and how she faces her day-to-day life.

I am writing to you as a sad soul.

It's like I'm good for a period of time, and then I go crazy, what's my problem?!

What would make you kick someone to the curb?

Is it a hairy back, bad breath or maybe just something they're, um... lacking? We're exploring dating "deal breakers" and finding out the difference between having standards and being just plain picky! Later on, we'll meet a former guest who won an e-learner scholarship, and find out how her life has changed since then. It all wraps up with another round of "Tyra's Tips in Ten"!

You Tell Us: What are your deal-breakers?

Hi Heather!

Thanks,

Don't Purge; Prioritize

A lot of financial advisors will tell you to stop spending money on anything that isn't an absolute necessity. And for some people, this advice might work. But for most people, eliminating all purchases is no smarter than refusing to eat in order to lose 10 pounds. Like calories, some spending is key to survival.

We don't categorically "need" most of the things we buy. New shoes are a luxury. Fresh produce is a luxury. Gas in our car is a luxury. But if we abandon these things altogether, we might be abandoning some of our most valuable assets -- including our confidence and our self image.

If you're walking around with holes in your heels, go ahead and buy a pair of shoes -- even if it means charging them for the time being. Nutritious food should be a priority. ("Value Meals" aren't really a value if they're clogging your arteries.) And taking your car to work instead of the bus is still okay if it saves you significant time and frustration. These are savvy spending skills.

All that said... if you're charging more than you can pay back every month, you probably have no business buying a $300 pair of shoes. You can maintain your professional appearance in $40 knockoffs. And you certainly don't need to buy them in multiple colors.

What to say at what age?

It's hard to know exactly what to say to your kids about sex -- and even more difficult to know when to open up a dialogue.

Dr. Debby has broken it down by age range to help you out.

Take a look!

We're talking about "the talk."

The subject is sex when Tyra meets with a panel of moms. They'll sound-off about having "the talk" with their kids and share their experiences with it. Later, we'll meet their teenage children and find out how their parenting techniques have worked out. We'll have a sexual health expert in the house who will find out if the teenagers can answer important questions that could ultimately save their lives. Finally, class is in session when we offer "Sex Talk 101" -- that can help any mother open up a dialogue with her kids.

You Tell Us: When did you first get "the talk"?

For those of you who caught Michael Jackson's "This Is It" in theaters, I'm sure you couldn't help but notice the beautiful (and CURLY!) vocalist, Judith Hill.

She rocked the stage in her duet with Michael Jackson, "I Just Can't Stop Loving You," and I must admit that my eyes were pretty much glued to her throughout the movie. She constantly changed her hair -- from huge fluffy fro to defined and curly, to curly extensions with popping highlights.

I finally caught up with her in Japan, and was able to ask her the questions CurlyNikki.com readers want to know the answers to most.

We think a supermodel is a pretty good source for beauty tips!
