Ok, I have to admit that I was disappointed by one of Oprah’s recent guests. A sit down with Denise Richards? Really?
But the queen of  talk has been reaching out to guests who are relevant to today’s headlines (Denise talked about her ex Charlie Sheen’s arrest, for example), so I guess we get it.
Speaking of headline making guests, Oprah’s most-talked about guest this month would have to be talk show host Jay Leno, who will sit down with O to discuss the Conan/NBC controversy tomorrow. Score one for Oprah!
We can’t wait to find out what Oprah will ask. After all, …read more

Today’s episode of Oprah brought attention to a dangerous habit that is claiming the lives of drivers and pedestrian victims each year.  That deadly habit is texting while driving. Oprah’s guests included families who lost loved ones because of distracted drivers who were texting on the road.  At one point, Oprah said she doesn’t use the word stupid very often, but that’s the word she thinks of to describe anyone who thinks it’s OK to drive and text at the same time.
After the show, Oprah.com posted a No Phone Zone Pledge that reads:
I pledge to make my car a No …read more

It looks like Adam Lambert might be headed to Oprah Winfrey’s couch.
A recent casting call on Oprah’s site reads: “Calling ALL Adam Lambert Fans!!! Did you vote for him as many times as you could? Were you holding your breath when the new American Idol was announced, hoping and praying it would be HIM? If you are a HUGE fan of Adam Lambert’s, email us now and tell us why you want to be in the audience for this once-in-a-lifetime show.”
Now, you know the queen of talk wouldn’t have a show about a star if the star wasn’t going …read more

I love, love, love this idea!  Did I mention that I love this idea?  A Chicago woman spent an entire year living her best life (based on Oprah’s advice, of course) and she has written a book  all about her experience.
According to USA Today:
“In 2008, Okrant followed every piece of advice offered by Oprah on her show, her website and her magazine, O— from what to wear (leopard flats) to what to buy (chairs) to what to eat (turkey burgers).”
So, how did it go? Robyn Okrant, 37, says the experience did bring about some clarity in her life, but she …read more

Will Oprah Winfrey land an interview with Tiger Woods? We don’t know, but she’s definitely going to try!
Oprah, who was invited to Tiger’s wedding in 2004, is now inviting her womanizing friend to her talk show. The Oprah Winfrey Show’s producers have confirmed that they have reached out to Tiger’s people about a possible interview.  There’s no word yet on whether Tiger has accepted or declined.
Even though every television show out there is probably trying to get an interview with the scandal-plagued golfer, we think Oprah’s couch might be the best place for Tiger’s first sit-down.  She might just be …read more
