The 38-year-old model and talk show host denies she is a Cougar - an older woman who prefers to date young guys - and that she has romanced Drake, 25, and `America`s Next Top Model` co-star Rob Evans, 24, but admits she is ready to have children.

She told TV host Steve Harley: "There`s been a lot of rumours that I`ve been dating certain people. Young boys. Ain`t true. I ain`t a cougar.

"I`m ready to have some babies. Yeah! I want babies. I`ve always wanted them, but, I`ve been saying `I want babies in three years` since I was like 27."

Referring to the fact her biological clock is ticking, she added: "They`re going to be parboiled and fried and scrambled up in there. Time to get them eggs workin."

Tyra started out as a model when she was a teenager and has recently sold a script based on her life to America`s ABC network. She will co-create and executive produce a show based on her experiences with her friend Kenya Barris Banks, who is a TV writer. The comedy will be called `Fivehead`, a tongue-in-cheek reference to Tyra`s large forehead.
