Tyra Banks has issued a public plea to Julia Roberts because she's "obsessed" about landing the movie star as a guest on her TV talk show.

Emmy-winning Banks has attracted a host of A-listers since landing The Tyra Banks show in 2005, but has yet to chat up the Hollywood actress on air.

And she took a break from her interview with TV chef Rachael Ray on Tuesday (05-May-09) to plead with her idol.

Turning to the camera, Banks said, "I would love Julia Roberts to come on the talk show. I'm obsessed... She's just real and from Savannah, Georgia and super famous and still normal and I like that".

And Banks admits she's even given up her trademark supermodel looks to appear more like the glamorous actress.

She adds, "Julia, I love you so much and I wish I could smile like you... I even had a red weave (fake hair) trying to look like her one time".
