Oprah Pulling the Plug on Oprah – E! Online
November 20, 2009
The Queen of talk her majesty Oprah Winfery is giving her last hooray to her show “The Oprah Winfery Show” on Sept 9 ,2011. Yes the mentor to so many women growing up with ambitious of being like her will now just read O magazine as way to stay connected with Mrs. Winfery. She is a brand so the show is not the outlet for Oprah to be seen and heard. She will be discussing this breaking news on tomorrow Friday Live Show from her Chicago Harpo Studio. More details about this from Eonline.
Hard to imagine a world without The Oprah Winfrey Show on weekday afternoons.
But that’s exactly what the world’s going to be like after Sept. 9, 2011, which will mark the end of Winfrey’s 25th season as host of her eponymous daytime talk show—and her last show altogether.
We can just hear the Rolodexes twirling as the folks at Harpo Productions start lining up celebrities to tape "goodbye, Oprah" messages.
"Yes, it’s true that she will be ending her show in September 2011," a rep for Harpo tells E! News. "She will be speaking about it on tomorrow’s live show."
Where will the big shots share, cry and couch-jump now? How will mere mortals get free cars?!
Deadline Hollywood first reported last week that Winfrey was gearing up to wind down in order to focus on the launch of her cable network, OWN (i.e. The Oprah Winfrey Network)—and it’s possible she could reestablish herself as everybody’s favorite small-screen couch companion over there.
More details will be coming tomorrow from the woman herself.
The first syndicated episode of Winfrey’s Chicago-based show premiered in 1986, and she’s been on the air ever since.
You think she’s been successful? Aside from the whole billionaire thing, in 1999 Winfrey took her show out of the running for the top talk show categories at the Daytime Emmys after the TV Academy presented her with a lifetime achievement award.
President Obama helps the families make sense of this national tragedy
November 11, 2009
My prayers goes out to all those families who lost a love one to this horrible tragedy. May they receive comfort from the lord Jesus Christ. I can’t fathom the pain they are feeling and shock that something like this could happen at the place that was suppose to be these troops safe haven. videos of those taking from this world is on the MSNBC site
WASHINGTON – Presidents get elected to run the nation. Some days that means knowing how to heal it.
For the first time since winning the White House, President Barack Obama faces such a moment Tuesday at Fort Hood. After a shooting that left 13 people dead and 29 wounded on the bustling Texas Army post, it is Obama’s job to offer some comfort, if not answers.
Obama will do so privately with the families of those killed, and then publicly at a memorial service sure to be watched by American troops around the world.
He and first lady Michelle Obama left Washington early Tuesday for a trip that will also take them to a visit with wounded troops in the hospital.
At least 3,000 people are expected to attend the memorial service. They include the families of the 13 victims, as well as some of those wounded and their families, said Lt. General Robert Cone, the post commander. The event is open to the public.
This young man should be inspiration to all black men that you should not always follow the crowd but be different. Love who you are and lift negativity. I hope Oprah will also have him on her show. He interview by Byron Pitts for CBS evening news.
(CBS) Two days a week, 11-year-old Jonathan McCoy is at the gym with his mother.
But when this sixth grader is not working out, he is exercising another muscle of sorts, speaking truth to power.
"According to the definition of the n-word, an n-word will never be a lawyer, a doctor or a teacher," said McCoy.
CBS News Chief National correspondent Byron Pitts reports McCoy is on a mission to abolish the n-word.
"It is implausible that 40 years after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., that we still use this word that holds no worth in our lives and our future." McCoy said.
Justin and Jessica together in Vancouver
October 23, 2009
Justin and Jessica were caught together in Vancouver . Where they went and seen the movie Where the wild things are. People in theater said they seem quite like a couple who are still very in love. These photos are showing them coming from a restaurant.
Her son is so beautiful! Babies are so precious and adorable! Jennifer little one is no different and much like my nephew he’s doing everything that a newborn should not do yet until they are a little older. This is a adorable picture of Jennifer and her baby boy David. Buy the october 15 issue for more adorable pictures news on Jennifer and her baby.
Motherhood definitely seems to agree with Jennifer Hudson, who gave birth to her first child, David – named after her fiancé, David Otunga – on Aug. 10.
"I love being nurturing and caring because I love to see other people happy," says Hudson. "Who better to devote my time to than my own child?"
From singing lullabies ("He can be crying at the top of his lungs and just turn off like a switch") to frequent bottle-feedings ("I’ve never seen a baby eat like he does!"), the singer (who chose not to address the tragic loss of her family members last October) offers PEOPLE an intimate look into her new life as a mom.
How hard was it keeping your pregnancy under wraps?
"David and I were the only people who knew for a long time. I would forget I was pregnant, it was so easy. I didn’t have any morning sickness, no cravings either. I just thought, ‘Oh, well, we’ll wait until it’ll tell on itself.’ I didn’t show until I was seven months so that made it easy right there."Your son was delivered via C-section, what was your recovery like?
"Everybody told me how much it was going to hurt afterwards but I think I have a different tolerance for pain than others. By that night after I had the baby, I’m like, ‘Look, I can’t sit in this bed anymore. I’ve got to get up!’ I’ve been up and about since he was born. To me, the pain is no different than when you work out a muscle you’ve never worked out before and it’s sore."Has his personality emerged yet?
"He has a lot of personality, like David. He’s always been a good sleeper. His favorite time to smile now is diaper changes. Or when he spits up on you – he just cracks up like he thinks it’s the funniest thing. And his bottle is his pacifier. With a pacifier, it’s like he knows, ‘Ain’t nothing come out of here. No, I don’t want that. Where’s the real deal?’ His best friend is that bottle; that’s all he wants."Would you be supportive if he wants to pursue a career in entertainment?
"We’ll definitely encourage education. His father is an education fanatic so we definitely want him to get an education and go to school. My mom always said, ‘Whatever you want to do, I’ll support you as long as you’re happy.’ So I will do the same."For more photos of the family – and the rest of our exclusive interview with Hudson – pick up next week’s issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Oct. 15
Meet Jennifer Hudson’s Newborn Son! – Babies, Jennifer Hudson : People.com
Not a really fan of his but the song is probably going to be a hit. Hopefully he will remember when promoting this song that his sons will one day hear this song when there older and may not like the fact that their father is putting out their mother dirty laundry. Of Usher will probably say like for confessions it’s not autobiographical.
When life hands you divorce … turn it into a hit song?
That seems to be Usher’s strategy with his still untitled new album. He’s taking an equally adversarial tone in his lilting first single, "Papers," in which the R&B star sings that he’s ready to move on.
The tune, which premiered online Monday, references pivotal moments in Usher’s personal life, including his decision to fire his mother as his manager. "I gave my heart and turned my back against the world ‘cuz you were my girl," he sings, continuing, "I done damn near lost my mama/I done been through so much drama/I done turned into the man I never thought I’d be/I’m ready to sign them papers."
The singer filed his divorce petition in June, though sources told PEOPLE at the time that Usher, 30, and Tameka Foster Raymond had been living separate lives for months. The couple have two sons, Usher Raymond V, 22 months, and Naviyd, 9 months.
Usher’s sixth album will be released on Dec. 8.

The Woman at the Center of the Letterman Scandal
October 4, 2009
I knew before I read this story that she was the woman behind this Scandal with Dave . Dave is a powerful man and women are drawn to that. It doesn’t matter the age or how they may look. Sure Dave may not be a man that women would have fling with but he is very rich. He is also honest guy and private he doesn’t flaunt his wealth everywhere namely like Donald Trump. It is a shame this man used Dave as a way to pay off his debt and legal bills from his divorce and he was a former producer for award winning 48 hours which a show on CBS along with Dave Letterman. Hopefully Dave can weather the storm this will bring. Just like Monica Lewinski she was a intern who I’m sure is very intelligent and knew how to move up the ranks in field of work. Here more details about it all from People:
The Woman at the Center of the Letterman Scandal
Former David Letterman assistant Stephanie Birkitt has emerged as the woman at the center of the shocking plot to extort $2 million from the Late Show host, but who exactly is she?
Birkitt, 34, until recently lived with Robert “Joe” Halderman, Letterman’s alleged blackmailer and a 48 Hours producer, according to multiple news sources, but die-hard Letterman fans likely remember Birkitt as the amiable assistant who often appeared on camera in silly outfits, yukking it up with Dave, who anointed her with nicknames including Smitty and Monty.
When Halderman allegedly handed over a package of potentially embarrassing information to Letterman last month – and threatened to go public unless he received a multimillion dollar payment – it reportedly included copies of parts of a diary and personal correspondence belonging to his then-girlfriend, Stephanie Birkitt, according to a search warrant obtained by FOX 5 News.The search warrant does not specify the contents of the diary – but Birkitt and her TV boss were undoubtedly close. A native of Plymouth, N.H., she graduated from Wake Forest University in 1997 and had already joined the Letterman team as an intern a year earlier, during her junior year. According to reports, after graduation she was accepted into the CBS page program and worked for shows including Letterman’s and 48 Hours. She was named an associate producer on that news show, mainly working under correspondent Erin Moriarty, before eventually finding her way back to Letterman’s Late Show. Read the rest of this entry »

Justin is really doing good with his budding movie career! I can’t wait to see Open Road too. Jesse Eisenberg is a good actor too. Here info for the Facebook Movie from MTV:
Justin Timberlake, Jesse Eisenberg To Star In Facebook Movie
Eisenberg will play site’s founder, Timberlake its first president in David Fincher’s ‘The Social Network.’
It’s official: Jesse Eisenberg will play Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in "The Social Network," a film based on the creation of the social networking site. But he’s not the only rumored name now confirmed to be in the film. Variety reports that Justin Timberlake will also star in the flick alongside Eisenberg.
Timberlake will play Napster co-founder Sean Parker, who became Facebook’s founding president. Andrew Garfield has been cast as Eduardo Saverin, the Facebook co-founder who had a falling out with Zuckerberg as the site became a financial success. The crew, along with director David Fincher, will begin filming next month in Boston before moving production to Los Angeles.
One of the film’s executive producers, Kevin Spacey, spoke to MTV News recently about the flick, speculating that it would begin filming before the end of this year, although at that time the details, including who would be directing and starring in the movie, had yet to be worked out.
Spacey did note that he was "enormously excited" about the film. "Great story for people that don’t really know how it happened," he said. "Very filmic, very modern, very cool."
Meanwhile, even as late as last week, Eisenberg wouldn’t confirm to MTV News that he was tackling the Zuckerberg role. Instead he opted to say only that he was still rumored to be attached to the film, which was penned by "West Wing" creator Aaron Sorkin. At the junket for "Zombieland," he said, "They are rumors. That is true."
