Oprah Announces Her Show Will End September 9th, 2011
BREAKING! Oprah fans, brace yourself. Miss Winfrey has announced that her show will end on September 9th, 2011. She has no intentions of renewing her contract once this one runs out.
A few weeks ago, it was reported that Oprah might move to cable, which hasn't officially been ruled out.
My guess is if enough money comes her way, a move wouldn't be out of the question.
Let's discuss. Will you miss Oprah if she leaves network? How about television in general?
'Twilight' Author Stephenie Meyer Will Be On 'Oprah'
It's about time! I know 'Twilight' probably wouldn't make the list for Oprah's Book Club, but the series is so popular, it seems only fitting that Stephenie Meyer should appear on 'Oprah'! And now she will, according to a message she posted on her website.
You know I've been doing the hermit thing this last year, in so far as media is concerned, and I'm not changing that now, but I am making an exception. I'm doing this for a good reason: I am so pleased and amazed and thrilled with what Chris Weitz has done with New Moon that I want to talk about it, and to show my support for him. And since I'm only doing one interview, better make it big. Really big. So....I will be on The Oprah Winfrey Show on Friday, November 13th.
That's this Friday! Are you 'Twilight' fans excited?

Whitney Houston Talks About Drug Use And Bobby Brown Abuse With Oprah
Whitney Houston “forgot” she was a singer during the depths of her drug addiction. The music star admitted the extent of her substance abuse and the lowest points of her 14-year marriage to singer Bobby Brown during an emotional interview with Oprah Winfrey which aired in the US yesterday.
Referring to her crack cocaine and marijuana use, Whitney, 46, said:
“I didn't think about the singing part anymore. I'd totally forgotten about that life. I had so much money by that time.”
She went on to detail how she and Bobby, 40, would ‘freebase’ crack in marijuana joints, adding:
“We were lacing our marijuana with base. We would buy a kilo. We were not pipe smoking.
“You roll it up and you smoke it in your weed. It's almost like heroin cocaine speedballs but you level it off with marijuana."
Whitney – who separated from Bobby in 2006 and divorced him a year later – claimed her ex-spouse became jealous of her career after she appeared in the worldwide hit 1992 film ‘The Bodyguard’ – after which their drug abuse spiraled out of control.
"I think somewhere inside, something happens to a man when a woman has that much control or has that much fame.
"Emotionally he was abusive. Physically, no way. I was raised with two brothers and I would fight you back with anything I could find.”
She recalled how Bobby’s abuse spilled over one night after she had thrown a birthday party for him. Whitney – who has a 16-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina with Bobby - recalled:
"When we got back to the house he spit on me. He actually spit on me. And my daughter was coming down the stairs and she saw it. I was angry. I was very hurt. I knew something was going to blow. That was pretty intense.
Whitney Houston Opens Up About Crack Usage To Oprah
Whitney Houston spent seven months in her pajamas getting high on crack cocaine. The soul singer made the shocking confession in an interview with talk show host Oprah Winfrey.
Speaking about the explosive segment which will air next week, Oprah said:
"It will leave you gasping. She does not blame her ex-husband Bobby Brown and she takes full responsibility for her engagement in drugs.
"At one point she says, 'I didn't get out of my pajamas for seven months'. She talks about doing the drugs and sitting in the house and the two of them going, 'What are we doing?' "
The 46-year-old star also reveals her addiction began shortly after she starred in 1992 film 'The Bodyguard'.
Oprah said:
"She said, 'I want to tell my story, I want to tell the truth.' She talks about when it started to go wrong after 'The Bodyguard' - that was a long time ago.
"The thing most shocking to me is that Whitney tried to make herself smaller to fit in a marriage so the man could be bigger. How many women have done that? I deeply felt for her. She was trying to be the good wife. She really, truly loved him."
Whitney has not done a TV interview since 2002, when she denied taking drugs, saying: "I make too much money to smoke crack. Crack is whack."
I can't wait to see this interview! And I am so happy that Whitney is so far removed from the substance that she is actually able to discuss it.
Oprah Lives The High Life
In case you didn't know this, Oprah is REALLY RICH. The media maven recently gave the commencement address at Duke University and in her speech she brought up what a nice life she happens to live. :)
"It's great to have a nice home. It's great to have nice homes! It's great to have a nice home that just escaped the fire in Santa Barbara," she told the students.
As if you weren't jealous enough, she adds,
"It's great to have a private jet. Anyone that tells you that having your own private jet isn't great is lying to you."
Granted, I'm sure the rest of that quote probably talks about how that's not what's truly important. But, still, what a life!!!!
Now I'm just waiting for a green organization to release an angry statement about Oprah destroying the environment in her private jet. :)
