Just Saying No

Spice Girl turned reality TV star Victoria Beckham is denying that she is adding to her clan. The girl group singer insists that she is not pregnant (yet) and is currently concentrating on spending “quality time” with her three young sons. Beckham sparked rumors a few weeks ago when she told reporters that she dreamed of adding a baby girl to her brood of boys. Further fanning the rumor flames was the fact that the rail-thin mom was noticeably staying away from alcohol at her birthday celebration last month. Earlier this week the spicy mama issued this statement in an … Continue reading →

Famous Oprah Moments – Part 2

Posted on by

So, this week, I am talking about famous Oprah moments. After all, the groundbreaking talk show host has been on television for 22 years, there has to be a few incredible moments other than just Tom Cruise’s couch jumping. Here are some more remarkable Oprah moments: Oprah Interviews Betty Broderick In 1992, Oprah had a bit of a Geraldo moment when she interviewed murderer Betty Broderick. Broderick had killed her husband and his lover, but Oprah wanted to get behind the real story. As Betty put it, attorney Dan Broderick and she had had a perfect marriage until he fell … Continue reading →

Famous Oprah Moments – Part 1

Posted on by

If you read one of Michele’s recent blogs, you know that Tom Cruise is appearing on the Oprah show again. This is the first time since his infamous couch-jumping incident. When Oprah asked him if he would take it back if he could, Cruise replied, “It was a moment and it was real” and “I just felt that way…That was just how I felt.” I am assuming that is a no. Then, Tom playfully accused Oprah of egging him on. This time, there was no manic couch jumping as Cruise put on the cruise control. But, there have been more … Continue reading →

Barbara Tells All

During the entire Star Jones brouhaha and again during the Rosie O’Donnell drama she remained discreetly tight-lipped. I admired that about Barbara Walters, but now it appears her ability to stay mum wasn’t so much a credit to her professionalism, but rather her desire to use the material to fill pages in her new memoir. If you haven’t already heard, legendary TV journalist Barbara Walters has written a new book Audition, which chronicles her illustrious career and includes a few other tawdry tidbits, not the least of which is her admission that she carried on an affair with U.S. Senator … Continue reading →

They’re Baaack: Cher and Tina Turner

Posted on by

Ah, Cher and Tina Turner…does it get any more classic that that? These two ladies could sing and entertain circles around most performers today. And, what careers they have had! If the Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohans of the world want to know how to thrive and survive in the show business world, they could definitely take a few cues from these ladies. Both singers are now in their sixties (Cher is 61 and Tina is an amazing 68). Both have been taking it easy later – after all, after momentous careers, they both deserve it. But, this week, both … Continue reading →

Two of a Kind

If you discovered your ex was dating someone who looked like they could be your twin would you A.) Be complimented B.) Be Insulted or C.) Be completely freaked out? Well, you have to wonder how Eddie Murphy’s ex-wife/fiancée/girlfriend (whatever she was before they split following their vow exchange in Bora Bora on New Year’s Day, which turned out to be legally non-binding) Tracey Edmonds is feeling now that the actor is dating her reflection. Okay, maybe they don’t look exactly alike, but some say Lara LaRue is a dead ringer for Edmonds and Murphy couldn’t be happier. If you … 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 →

PETA Makes Peace with Beyonce and Mariah Makes Peace with Her Body

Animal rights group People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals (PETA) has struck again. But this time the overzealous group isn’t targeting its favorite celebrity, Britney Spears; rather the group is going after another pop diva—-Beyonce Knowles. Only it’s not what you think. PETA has decided to make peace with the singing sensation claiming the entertainer has ended her love affair with fur. According to PETA, Beyonce once sat at the top of the group’s “hit list” because of her frequent use of fur products, including a collection of fur coats and fur-lined boots. PETA’s attack on the singer made … Continue reading →

Oprah’s Weirdest Day

Yesterday, Michele blogged about how Oprah’s show on Friday would be her saddest day. This is the show in which Oprah would talk about the death of her beloved cocker spaniel, Sophie. While that will indeed be sad, today has surely got to be Oprah’s weirdest show – ever. In fact, it may be the weirdest show ever in the history of talk shows (and I am including Geraldo Rivera and Jerry Springer here!). Today’s show will deal with a man…who is pregnant. No, it is not some freak of nature occurrence and yes, he really is pregnant. Thomas Beatie, … 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 →
