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

Dr. Oz gave adult viewers a little sex education.  Honestly, while many of us talk about (or even have) sex on a regular basis, how often do we take the time to educate ourselves about our bodies and how we change in our lifetimes.  The truth is that so many of us are in the dark about this very important part of our lives.
One thing he explained was that, in middle age, a woman’s vagina becomes more susceptible to infection after her estrogen levels drop whereas men lose the firmness of their erections due to a loss of testosterone.
He also …read more

Today show host, Robin Roberts, interviewed American Idol winner, Carrie Underwood, on her show In the Spotlight with Robin Roberts.  Carrie was so sweet and humble, as usual.  She talked about how hard it was for her to even get to the audition since she had never even been to an airport before. 
She took Robin back to her hometown of Checotah, Oklahoma which is genuinely a very small town.  There was only a single stoplight when Carrie was growing up.  The singer also demonstrated how good she is at bowling (she even travels with her own shoes).
Carrie talked about …read more

Lauren Williams is an exceptional medical phenomenon. The woman was born with two vaginas, and had her first televised interview with Tyra Banks, which airs today.
The 29-year-old woman says that everything she would experience with one vagina, she has with two. She reveals to Tyra, "I’ve got two uteruses. Just one to each (fallopian tube), then they go down to two cervixes, and then it did go down to the two vaginas."
When asked if she endures two menstrual cycles, she responded with, "I think so because my periods generally last about 21 days…When I was a teenager I had really …read more

Almost everyone is interested in how they can improve the intimacy in their lives so it’s no surprise that Dr. Oz has offered some good advice about foods that can enhance your sex life.
I can already hear some of you reaching for your grocery lists to add some items!
Here are the foods that he mentioned:

Apples – I was thinking it might have something to do with the old adage “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” but it’s more simple than that.  Apples are a natural breath freshener.  Enough said.
Garlic – apparently, garlic increases blood flow in both men …read more

Barbara Walters might have been a journalist for longer but when it comes to scoring big interviews, it’s hard to beat the power of Oprah. 
Walters is going to get her chance at needling former Alaskan governor, Sarah Palin, but not before the controversial woman sits down on Oprah in an episode airing on November 16, 2009. 
To compensate, Walters’ interview will be aired in five parts on Good Morning America and will likely focus on Palin’s failed run for the White House (as John McCain’s vice president) as well as her new book, Going Rogue: An American Life.
It’s …read more

Halloween is this Saturday so don’t be surprised to see daytime talk show hosts dressed up today.  Tyra Banks has picked out her costume – she’s dressing as Kim Kardashian along with two other costume changes.  I don’t know what the other two will be but I know they are real life TV personalities.
Here’s a picture of her from today’s episode:

Elisabeth Hasselbeck is back from maternity leave!  She looked every bit the glowing new mother and she shared a really cute photo of her new son, Isaiah.  She did have an embarrassing moment to share, however.
The View co-host explained that right after breastfeeding her son, he gave her the biggest smile and, wanting to capture the adorable moment, she reached for her iPhone and snapped the shot.  She forwarded the picture to all of her family members only to discover that her nipple is featured prominently in the image.  Yikes!  I’ve definitely had a couple moments like that in my …read more

With the H1N1 virus circulating around the world, people are looking for ways to stay healthy more than ever.  Who better to give good advice than Dr. Oz?  
Believe it or not, his advice is pretty simple.  Here are his main tips:

Take Vitamin D – even if you are out in the sun a lot, you may not be getting enough of this essential vitamin.  Dr. Oz suggests that people take 1,000 units a day.
Get enough sleep – I know life is busy and there never seems to be enough hours in a day but it’s really important to get …read more

Back before she was a co-host on Live! With Regis and Kelly, I used to watch Kelly Ripa as Hayley Santos on All My Children.  She was married to Mateo Santos who is played by her real-life husband, Mark Consuelos (they eloped back when they were still regulars on the soap opera).
All My Children is about to celebrate their 40th anniversary and Kelly and Mark have agreed to return to Pine Valley for episodes that will air on January 4 and 5, 2010.  They haven’t been on the show since they both left in 2002 so I’m interested to see …read more
