If you'd asked us a while ago who's the bigger diva-like be-yotch, Beyoncé or Tyra Banks, we might have had to pause and think. Well, not anymore! We got fan reports from the BET Awards that totally prove Tyra needs a 'tude check, like ASAP.

When yelled at by some straggling gawkers, Beyoncé took the time to wave and talk to some fans around the Shrine Auditorium in downtown L.A., where the award show took place. B, looking mucho Sasha Fierce, would wave, smile and say hi wherever yelling crowds tried to get her attention. She even stopped to pose for pics, on and off the carpet. Hell, even Kanye West did too—and that says a lot when talking about big egos.

So what did Miss Banks do?

Zilch.

Girl thought the red carpet was a catwalk! She strutted her stuff with her entourage in tow and totally ignored any admirers screaming her way. We get it if she avoids the media, since she just went through a scary stalker sitch, but some poor fans?

Get off your high horse, Tyra! Honey, if you have your eye on Oprah's empire, you're going to need to figure that stuff out. The Big O takes time out for the needy and poor, not to mention a few measly screamers.

How long before T.B. becomes the new Naomi Campbell? We think the countdown is on.
