Oprah’s 200-Pound Confession

Don’t get me wrong; I enjoy watching Oprah Winfrey just as much as the next guy, but the way the media has run with her latest confession you’d think that she was taking over Joe Biden’s job as future vice-president. So, what’s the big news from the big O? Apparently, the queen of talk has been doing more eating than chatting and she has ballooned to 200 pounds. According to a written confession appearing in the January issue of O magazine, Winfrey reveals that she has packed 40 pounds onto her former 160-pound self and declares: “I’m mad at myself … Continue reading →

Oprah Winfrey Doesn’t Want a Job From Barack Obama

Not that he asked… but if the soon-to-be leader of the free world did, Lady O says she would definitely turn him down. Despite all the money she donated, all the time she spent aiding him on the campaign trail and all the tears she shed in Grant Park during his now famous acceptance speech, Oprah Winfrey says she would never give up her day job to work for President-elect Barack Obama’s administration. “I have a few full-time jobs already and a few full-time commitments, you know – contractual commitments that say I have to be where I am,” Winfrey … Continue reading →

After the Election: Oprah’s “Human Hanky” and Obama’s Poet—-Not

The queen of talk referred to him as “Mr. Man” while others dubbed him “Oprah’s human hanky.” Two days after appearing on newscasts broadcast around the world the bespectacled man who gave Oprah Winfrey a shoulder to cry on in Grant Park on Election Day finally revealed his real name: Sam Perry. Sam is the man… for now anyway. Perry’s 15 minutes of fame kicked off Tuesday night during President-elect Barack Obama’s acceptance speech. The Silicon Valley, California businessman and Obama campaign worker gained instant fame after video crews caught a teary Winfrey draped over his shoulder during the politician’s … Continue reading →

Sarah Palin: No White Oprah

At least not for a while, anyway. In less than 48 hours we’ll know if Sarah Palin will be headed to Washington to help lead the country or if she’ll be jetting back to her Alaskan home to resume her duties as governor. For the past few days rumors have been flying that if the latter occurs Palin will be adding another line to her growing resume: TV talk show host. Reports claim that FOX News has offered the Republican vice presidential candidate a deal to host her own show. In addition, several newspapers have been reporting that Palin has … Continue reading →

Oprah Denies Dissing Palin

It’s not something that happens everyday. In fact, as one of the most influential women on the planet (and one of the richest), TV talk show host Oprah Winfrey rarely feels the need to defend her actions to others. However, a recent report that claims the media mogul and “a couple of her top people are adamantly” against booking Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin on her show, has Winfrey speaking out. In a rare personal statement released to media organizations the queen of talk came out swinging regarding a posting published on the Drudge Report that claimed she refused … Continue reading →

Oprah: “Obama the Bomb!”

Well, that didn’t take long. Just hours after hearing news that her “main man,” Illinois Senator Barack Obama, clinched the Democratic presidential nomination, queen of talk Oprah Winfrey released a statement to the media. “I’m euphoric, I’ve been doing the happy dance all day,” the 54-year-old media mogul said. “I’m so proud of Barack and [his wife] Michelle Obama and what this means for all of us … the new possibilities for our country. And if he wants me to, I’m ready to go door to door,” added Winfrey, who has been on the campaign trail with the candidate and … Continue reading →

Obama Does a Number on Oprah’s Popularity

And not in a good way. At least according to political science researchers at Fordham University. Staffers at the college have spent months polling Americans in the wake of Oprah Winfrey’s unprecedented pledge to support presidential candidate Barack Obama in “every and all ways possible.” According to poll results, the talk show queen’s endorsement of Obama has damaged her popularity. Researches claim 65% of Americans looked upon Winfrey favorably three months after her announcement but that figure dropped to 51% four months later. The latest poll figures, compiled last month, revealed that Winfrey has lost her status as America’s favorite … Continue reading →

Oprah’s Saddest Day

Dog lovers will no doubt shed a few tears when they tune into “The Oprah Winfrey Show” on Friday. That’s when the dedicated dog owner will discuss the recent passing of her beloved cocker spaniel, Sophie. The show marks the first time Winfrey has publicly commented about her tragic loss. According to the queen of talk, Sophie gave her 13 years of “unconditional love” and was a “true love” in her life. Show producers say the deceased pup served as the inspiration for Friday’s show investigating abuses at puppy mills. Winfrey is reportedly planning to dedicate the show to Sophie, … Continue reading →

See Who’s Getting Oprah’s “Favorite Things”

I have always dreamed of being in the audience during Oprah Winfrey’s annual “Favorite Things” show. After all, who wouldn’t want to be the recipient of tens of thousands of dollars worth of luxurious goodies that the divine Miss O personally owns? Once the gift-giving extravaganza became an annual event, tickets to that particular show became the most sought after passes in daytime TV. Even Winfrey herself admitted that her own family members would call asking for the coveted tickets to her “Favorite Things” show. A couple of years ago, Winfrey wised up and began hand-selecting audience members for her … Continue reading →

Oprah and Madonna Making Headlines… Again

She may be hosting one of the largest fundraising efforts for his wife’s No. 1 rival, but former President Bill Clinton isn’t holding that against Oprah Winfrey. The former politician turned author will appear on the talk show queen’s show next Tuesday to promote his new book about philanthropy and civic action. Clinton’s new book, titled “Giving,” will be released on the same day his interview with Winfrey airs. In fact, according to Oprah’s website, the daytime diva scored the first sit down interview with the former president about his new endeavor. Which is not to say that Winfrey has … Continue reading →
