The Oprah Winfrey Show

November 20, 2009 at 9:53am PST

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!

The reigning queen of the vampires may be giving up her crown for good.

Stephenie Meyer announced on The Oprah Winfrey Show yesterday that she doesn't know if she will be authoring a fifth Twilight book because she's kind of sick of writing about vampires.

That noise you just heard was the sound of millions of teenage girls crying out in disappointment.

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.

In last week's American Idol recap we said that Idol is now a boy's club, and Adam Lambert is the president. As of yesterday, he's also the pet to Simon Cowell's teacher.

We've been boycotting Adam all season because he is so obviously the judges' favorite, but now it's official: Simon Cowell has picked Lambert as the probable winner of this season of American Idol.

How shocking.

Even the All-Mighty O, with her legions of trainers, chefs, support staff and fans, eats her feelings!

Oprah Winfrey admits in this month’s O Magazine that she’s “embarrassed” after packing on 40 pounds after slimming down to 160 in 2006,

“Yes, you’re adding correctly” Oprah writes. “That means the dreaded 2-0-0.

“I’m embarrassed … I can’t believe that after all these years, all the things I know how to do, I’m still talking about my weight. I look at my thinner self and think, ‘How did I let this happen again?’”

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
