Oprah Winfrey

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!

Talk about a powerhouse duo!

Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey arrived in Copenhagen on Wednesday to support Chicago for the 2016 Olympic Games.

The First Lady said:

"So happy to be here and I'm so excited. We have a lot of work to do. We're not taking anything for granted. I'm going to talk to some voters. Chicago is a wonderful host city, great people, great facilities. It knows about the sports and the hospitality is like no other and a city that works really well."

It's still yet to be seen if Whitney Houston's much-anticipated comeback will be a lasting success, but one thing is clear: the diva can still draw a crowd.

Houston's two-part interview with Oprah, which aired earlier this week and was the premiere of this season of The Oprah Winfrey Show, drew huge ratings.

Ratings for the episode were up 45 percent from last season’s premiere and were they highest they've been for almost two years.

Just ask Oprah! We swear that's what she said. The talk show queen interviewed him for the most recent issue of her O magazine. On her bff Gayle King's radio show, she said about the rapper: "I could smell him on me and I was like, 'Oh, my, this is wonderful." 

On Friday, Oprah Winfrey, along with Gayle King and Tyler Perry, offered a warning to Rihanna against reconciling with boyfriend Chris Brown.

King said, “I’m so worried they’re sending the wrong message to their young fans.”

Perry reminded the audience, “She could have died.”

Jerry Seinfeld is returning to TV after an eleven year hiatus. 

Wow, was it really that long ago Seinfeld went off the air?

Can we be honest? We didn’t miss him.

We’re one of the few people who never found Seinfeld, either the man or the show, funny. If we want Jew humor, we’ll call our parents, aunt or cousins. We used to call Seinfeld “Blackface for Jews”…but we digress.

Jerry is returning to NBC (we're sure they're THRILLED!!!) for a show titled The Marriage Ref.

Because she isn’t rich or powerful enough already.

Oprah has signed an exclusive new deal to develop movies and miniseries for HBO.

By the time she’s done, the All-Mighty O will control every avenue of media. Radio, magazines, daytime, primetime, even the fancy cable.

Bow down, bitches.

Reports are swirling that Oprah Winfrey will be pulling her show from the typical network airwaves when her contract with King World expires in the fall of 2011 and branching out on her OWN as in the Oprah Winfrey Network, a channel Winfrey’s production company, Harpo, is creating in conjunction with Discovery.

Yesterday, seven thousand mourners packed the Chicago memorial service honoring Bernie Mac.

Samuel L. Jackson, Don Cheadle, Chris Rock, Steve Harvey, Cedric the Entertainer and Rev. Jesse Jackson attended the emotional service that was part late-night stand up routine, though the jokes were told with a heavy heart.  Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama and Andy Garcia also sent condolences.

Super-angry supermodel Naomi Campbell has been banned from appearing onstage at Nelson Mandela's upcoming 90th birthday concert by Mandela himself, whom she refers to as her “honorary grandfather.”

According to reports, Mandela personally intervened to ensure Campbell was removed from the line-up for Friday's festivities following the guilty verdict in her assault case.
