Oprah

Oprah is announcing today that her twenty-fifth season will be her last. That's right. Oprah will no longer be coming into our houses every afternoon. What will we do?

Who's going to tell us which books to read or which movies to care about (or who to vote in for president)?  Say it ain't so, Oprah!

Her final show will be on September 9, 2011. It's far away now, but it will come quickly. We're sure that will also be the highest rated television hour of all time!

Look out Gayle, somebody wants to be Oprah's new best friend!

Ellen Degeneres has been campaigning on her show to get on the cover of O Magazine, a right that has almost always only been reserved for Oprah herself. But she finally won out and she got a double cover!

Don't they look like besties? (Sorry Gayle!)

Yesterday afternoon, Tyra Banks, soon to be queen of all media, launched a new online magazine, Tyra Beauty Inside and Out. We guess it wasn't enough for her to host two television shows. She needed to make her life more difficult!

Chris Brown truly is the king of all tools. First he beat his now ex-girlfriend Rihanna. And now he is taking on the queen of daytime television.

You are very dumb, Chris Brown. Very, very dumb.

In a recent interview Brown was asked how he felt about Oprah having a show discussing domestic abuse inspired by Rihanna.

Heidi Klum recently admitted she’d love for her new baby with husband Seal to be a girl.

She got her wish.

Friday, on Oprah, guest Seal confirmed that he and the Project Runway host have a wee lass on the way.

This will be the fourth child for Heidi and third with her husband, Seal, with whom she has two boys.

Congratulations!

Oprah has a favorite new thiiiiiing.

Jenny McCarthy.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, McCarthy, 36, has signed a deal with Oprah’s Harpo production company. This means she gets to be the next Rachel Ray or Dr. Phil…though hopefully not as annoying.

The first step in the deal was the launch of Jenny’s blog on Oprah.com last Friday.

Zac-y Pooh has been named one of the world’s 100 most influential people by Time Magazine.

And he’s in good company.

President Barack Obama, George Clooney, Bono and Oprah are also on this year’s list.

Ashton Kutcher is putting his tweets to good use.

Ashton bet Ted Turner $100,000 that he could get one million Twitter followers before Turner’s CNN could.

Kutcher won the bet, claimed his prize and immediately donated Ted’s money to the United Nations to fight malaria.

The UN is spearheading a campaign to stop the spread of the deadly disease which kills 3,000 children a day in Africa alone.

For the second time in two years, Oprah Winfrey’s all-girl boarding school in South Africa is dealing with another scandal after students were reportedly expelled for sexual misconduct.

Seven students were dismissed from The South African Leadership Academy for Girls last week after being accused of sexually harassing their schoolmates.

Michael J. Fox has been battling Parkinson’s Disease, a degenerative brain disease, since 1991, but he refuses to let it suffocate or marginalize him.

In an interview airing today, he told Oprah, “It’s like having a four-year-old climbing on you all the time and so whatever you’re trying to do, you’ve got this four-year-old and you’re… just trying to be patient and focus on what you need to do.”
