We tuned into the Tyra Banks show Thursday morning at 11 but, instead of Casey Parker as advertised, the show featured Hillary Duff. However Parker conducts this interview with www.xbiz.com just as though her show had aired. Maybe it aired somewhere.
HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Shane's World contract star Casey Parker appeared on yesterday's episode of "The Tyra Banks Show," where she discussed the phenomenon of college porn and defended her life and career choices.
Parker told XBIZ that the final edit of the program matched her actual appearance on the show. Nothing important got cut, although she didn't find the time to plug her website or voice her opinions on the show's topic of college porn, which is the specialty of Shane's World.
"College porn is college porn," she said. "We're a new generation, and [college] is at that age when we're going to experiment and explore your sexuality and have a lot of sex and fun, and it's not a bad thing."
Parker later called porn the "classroom of sex" and praised it for opening up her own once-frightened sexuality.
"When I was attracted to girls, I was like, 'Is this OK? Is this weird?'" she said. Parker said she's come to embrace her sexuality.
Despite Parker's ultra-positive energy and outlook, Banks still found the time to play some hardball with the adult star.
"[Banks] asked me a few questions about my parents," she said. "She started cradling a fake baby and saying, 'Your mom never thought you'd be a porn star.' I just told her the truth. Of course she never thought I'd be a porn star, but I'm happy with what I'm doing."
But even though Banks played tough, Parker has no hard feelings.
"[Banks] was very different off camera," she said. "I could really feel her warmth. She was just playing her part."
Overall, Parker had a great time on the show, but one moment stood out as her favorite. It came when Banks told Parker that she was no longer a girl next door because she had become a superstar.
Parker responded, "I’m the girl next door. Just ask my neighbor."
