Oprah's New Project With HBO
Okay, so we know Oprah will stop doing 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' in 2011. In an interview this morning, Oprah's best friend, Gayle King, gave this assurance:
"She's riding off from The Oprah Winfrey Show as we know it, but she's not riding off into the sunset."
That's the truth.
Variety announced today that Oprah's production company, Harpo Films, has set up a new pilot with HBO. Here's how it's described:
[The show is] a sexually charged hourlong series pilot about a woman who leaves her seemingly perfect marriage and children in Santa Monica for the underbelly of L.A., where she indulges her secret fantasies and desires.
"It is unsentimental and pretty shocking, and there is something complicated and destructive driving her," [Harpo President] Forte said. "It is literally a day at the pool, where she gets up, in sarong and flip-flops, and walks out of her life, leaving everyone behind so abruptly that her husband and kids initially think she's been kidnapped or murdered."
Hmmm... sounds like a real departure for Oprah. Is this something you want to check out or pass on?

Stars React To Chris Brown's Apology
As you can imagine, celebrities' reaction to Chris Brown's apology run the gamut! Not unlike ours, I'd imagine. Here are some reactions.
Gayle King, Oprah Winfrey's best friend, is not having it.
Right now I can't think of anything that makes me support anything that
Chris Brown is saying at this time. And my heart just aches for Rihanna."
Dollhouse star Eliza Dushku seemed to feel the same way.
Any way, shape or form of domestic violence is inexcusable in my book."
Singer Carrie Underwood is more neutral.
I don't think anybody actually knows what happened. I have no advice
because, thank goodness, I've never been in any kind of abusive
situation. You hear a new one every five minutes, and some of them are
getting kind of ridiculous. I really hope everyone will lay off and
just let everybody who's involved figure out everything first."
I'm not sure what's ridiculous, but that's all the quote says.
Jay-Z, however, seems to be most concerned about his protege, Rihanna.
This is a real situation. You have to have compassion for others. Just
imagine it being your sister or mom and then think about how we should
talk about that. I just think we should all support her. She's going
through a tough time. You have to realize she's a young girl, as well.
She's very young."
And others are just trying to support both Chris and Rihanna during a difficult time.
