Just what "Gossip Girl" needs: another fashion-savvy diva.

Entertainment Weekly reports that supermodel-turned-TV titan Tyra Banks is set to guest star on "Gossip Girl" next season. The best bit? She won't be playing herself.

No, Tyra has parlayed her insane "America's Next Top Model" hijinks (most recently: she pretended her car was broken down in the road to HILARIOUS effect ... ) into an actual acting gig. According to EW, she will play a fictional film co-star to Hilary Duff's actress character.

OK, so it's not the hugest stretch, but it's a start!

Tyra is set to fiercify the Upper East Side in Episode 4.

Which do you prefer: Tyra the talk show host, or Tyra the "Top Model" judge?
