Daytime queen, Oprah Winfrey, has decided to end her popular talk show at the end of its 25th season in September 2011.
The president of Harpo made the announcement and said that Oprah would make it official in an upcoming episode where she will explain the reasons why she is ending her run.  Her show is the top-rated U.S. daytime talk show and has attracted an average of 7.1 million viewers this year.
I’m sad to see the show come to an end but, at the same time, I think it’s the right time for her to close it down.  What do …read more

It was a fun night watching the Daytime Emmy Awards last night.  Did you catch the show?  If not, here’s a quick rundown of how our shows and hosts fared.

I wasn’t surprised at all to see that the Tyra Banks Show won the “informative” talk show award since she is constantly trying to push the envelope to educate her viewers whether it’s a giant stuffed vagina or having pregnant prostitutes on the show to tell their stories.  She really has carved out a niche for herself and I’m really happy for her.

The Rachael Ray show won the “entertainment” talk show …read more

Whoopi Goldberg looked less than thrilled to have her picture taken by the paparazzi as she shopped in SoHo last week.  Apparently she stopped in a few shops including the Apple Store but I guess I can understand why she didn’t want to see the photographers.  There are days when I step out of the house and I just throw myself together.  I wouldn’t want anyone to take my picture on those days so I’m glad I’m not a celebrity.
These days, I think Whoopi is more than happy to be the one doing the interviewing on The View rather than …read more

Talk show host, Ellen DeGeneres, won the very first Teen Choice Award for “Choice Twit” for her amazing Twitter updates.  I love following Ellen because her tweets are great (and she doesn’t neglect her account like some other daytime talk show hosts who will remain nameless). 
Her acceptance speech was a little awkward but funny anyway!  She, of course, videotaped the moment and thrilled the fans by announcing that people who follow her (she’s got more than 2.5 million followers!) will have the chance to win $1000!  In case you haven’t already added her, you can follow Ellen here – …read more

Earlier this week, Maxwell performed his new single “Pretty Wings” from his album, BLACKsummers’night which was released earlier this month.  He had been out of the limelight for so long and I’m glad to see him back. 
The song is beautiful and I think he did a great job during the performance:

Daytime talk show host, Tyra Banks, attended the 2009 BET Awards last night.  She seems to have slimmed down a bit for summer but I really did not like her outfit and hairstyle.  She looked happy and upbeat, though, so that’s a plus! 

Tyra also presented the Best Male Athlete award to NBA superstar, Lebron James.  I’m guessing she was excited that he won? 

Oprah isn’t the only daytime talk show host launching a great summer giveaway!  Ellen DeGeneres has introduced her “Beat The Heat Watch & Win Challenge.”
  The contest is easy – all you have to do is watch Ellen this summer for a chance to win BIG prizes!  Watch each episode closely and then go to the contest page and answer the two questions (a winner will be chosen randomly from those who answered the questions correctly).  That’s it!  A new prize will be given away every day so there are plenty of chances to win!
Participants will also be entered …read more

Oprah Winfrey has launched a watch-and-win style sweepstakes which was announced on Oprah.com.  It’s a really clever way to keep ratings up over the summer since viewers will have to watch three months of reruns in search of the “Word of the Day” clue they will need to have a chance at winning “Oprah’s Summer Giveaway.” 

Viewers can submit the word on Oprah.com with a chance at winning a daily, weekly or grand prize.  The loot is pretty good since Oprah teamed up with Target, GE, Sony, United and Volkswagen to give away the prizes.
If you’re thinking about entering, …read more

At last, the nominees for this year’s Daytime Emmy Awards have been announced! Of course, some of our favorite talk shows and talk show hosts have been nominated so here is a list of some of the categories and nominations.
The Ellen DeGeneres Show has by far taken the crown for the most amount of nominations this year with over six of them! Rachael Ray and Dr. Phil got a good amount as well. Who are you rooting for? I have no idea who’s going to win for Outstanding Talk Show. It’s quite a close match, so it should be …read more
