{blackbabes} Tyra Banks Sues -- Wigmakers Stole My Very, Very Famous Name

Grey's Anatomy, Season 10 - Grey's Anatomy

You can't go slapping Tyra Banks' name willy-nilly on wigs -- not without her slapping back with a massive lawsuit for 10 million dollars ... TMZ has learned.

Tyra just filed a lawsuit in L.A. County against 10 companies that make wigs ... and in the suit she claims they're all biting her "name, photograph, image, and identity" -- as well as her trademarks.

We know squat about wigs ... but some quick research revealed several of the companies do have Tyra's photos and Tyra inspired wigs on their websites.

A few examples: The Yaki straight[Tyra-Banks style] wig, the Tyra Banks custom lace wig #046, and our fave -- the Tyra Banks inspired human hair wig. We're guessing it's not actually TB's hair you're buying ... although it does cost $300!

Several pages of the lawsuit are spent on spelling out how valuable her trademark is because she's a huge star ... and to prove it her IMDB profile -- all 11 pages -- are attached to the suit as Exhibit A.

To be fair, the suit also refers to Tyra as a "former supermodel."

TB is suing for an injunction to stop the sale of the infringing products -- and at least $10 million in damages.

Fun fact: Tyra's first acting credit was Jackie Ames on "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" in 1995. Thanks Exhibit A.

{blackbabes} Rihanna explains who Robyn is and why she liked Diana

PRISM (Deluxe Version) - Katy Perry

This may be the most unusual admiring comment about the late Princess Diana ever: "She was gangsta with her clothes."

So says Rihanna, who looks more gamine than gangsta on the cover of Glamour this month, and inside talks about her fashion idols, her new fashion reality-TV show, why she prefers to be called Robyn, and how someday she wants kids — but not right now.

The interview was conducted on her home island of Barbados in the Caribbean, where her friends know her as Robyn.

"When people call me Robyn, my head just flies around because I feel like that person knows me," she says. "But Rihanna, that tends to be people's own (creation). Robyn is who I am. Rihanna —that's an idea of who I am."

Now 25, Rihanna is about to launch Styled to Rock, a fashion reality show scheduled to debut on Bravo on Oct. 25. Thus, the magazine cover. "I get excited by discovering new designers. I'm obsessed with being first with everything in fashion."

The icons on her best-dressed list are eclectic: "Oh my God, are you kidding me? Nicole Richie. She just pisses me off, she's so good," she says.

"But you know who is the best who ever did it? Princess Diana. She was like — she killed it. Every look was right. She was gangsta with her clothes. She had these crazy hats. She got oversize jackets. I loved everything she wore."

She's been obsessed with fashion since she was a kid, and for a touching reason.

"My love for fashion — let me say, my admiration for fashion — started with my mom," she says. "I used to watch her get dressed. She was around my age right now, and she was so fly. So fly. I remember not even knowing how to do that because I was such a tomboy."

Her mother taught her to take a fearless attitude. "I had to regain my fearlessness because it did go away for a little bit. My mother said something to me a few years ago: 'I've seen something in your eyes I've never seen before: fear.' She was like, 'No, this is not you.' I just got back to being OK with myself."

She wants children someday but is missing a crucial ingredient right now: "I look forward to the day when I'm gonna be a mom," she says. "But I'm nowhere close. I don't even have a potential baby daddy!"

The November issue is on newsstands nationally on Oct. 8.
