Shun, Shag, Or Marry: The Stars Of OWN Network

Ami AngelowiczAugust 7, 2010 //

Mark your calendars! Less than six months until we can gorge on all Oprah programming all the time. With OWN’s launch date set for January 2011, the lineup is starting to come together. This week, it was confirmed that Rosie O’Donnell will be joining Shania Twain and Sarah Ferguson on the OWN team. All we know so far is that Rosie’s as yet unnamed daytime talk show will be based in New York and “fans can anticipate a fun, uplifting show with Ms. O’Donnell’s playful and energetic style.” Let’s hope it goes better than her stint on “The View.” Very important question: who from the lineup do we want to shun, shag, or marry? Find out after the jump. [Washington Post] Keep reading »

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comJuly 13, 2010 //

Barbara Walters made an appearance on “The View” today, since she is fully recovered from open heart surgery two months ago. And the cat is also out of the bag that Babs is shopping her memoir, Audition, to HBO for a possible biopic. Interestingly, another one of the most powerful women on television might be getting the made-for-TV treatment, too. A producer has optioned Kitty Kelley’s Oprah: A Biography for a made-for-TV movie as well.

After the jump, what we know about these biopics and who we think should play these powerhouse ladies. Keep reading »

Oprah’s Search For The Next TV Star: 10 Peeps To Vote For

Kelli BenderJune 29, 2010 //

We’re a year away from Oprah‘s final talk show. But do not fear—the Big O is creating her own network. Oprah is currently on the hunt for a fresh face to host a show, and since she loves her fans—especially giving them things—she is bestowing on her adoring public the honor of selecting their favorite for a chance to win. Thousands of people have uploaded videos, pitching their ideas and personas in hopes of getting their own slot in Winfrey World. According to MSNBC, “Ten finalists will appear in an eight-episode boot camp to determine who will get to host; shows will air when OWN launches in January 2011 and will be executive produced by Mark Burnett.” The good news: there’s one more week to cast your vote. The bad news: there are way too many videos to watch. So we’ve sifted through the candidates and picked out 10 who would make Oprah proud.

Fergie Admits She’s A Drunk, Broke, Hot Mess On “Oprah”

Ami AngelowiczJune 2, 2010 //


No, not that Fergie—I’m talking about the the Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson. Yesterday, she sat down on the Big O‘s couch to talk about her recent scandal. You know, the one where she tried to sell access to her ex, Prince Andrew, to an undercover reporter (posing as a business man) for big bucks and unfortunately got caught on film? Oopsie! At first, the ginger Duchess asked the reporter for a $40K down payment to “help a friend.” Then she asked him for another $70K to provide access to Prince Andrew. What Oprah and everyone else in the world wanted to know—why? Keep reading »

Quotable: Tom Cruise Finally Explains The Oprah Couch-Jumping Incident Of 2005

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comMay 26, 2010 //

“What happened, happened. … I wanted the audience to be happy just like I wanted to make my sisters and my mother happy when I did those skits as a kid. But I’ll take responsibility for my actions. … Afterward, wild things were being said about me, and once they’re in the ether, there’s nothing you can do about it. It felt like being the new kid in the schoolyard again and the other kids are whispering and whispering about you and suddenly you hear what they’re saying, and you think, What? That didn’t happen. Look at the reality of the situation.”

Will And Jada Overshare About Their Sex Life On Oprah

Amelia McDonell-ParryMay 18, 2010 //


Will Smith, Jada Pinkett-Smith, and basically their whole family (seriously, the kids and his mom too!) appeared on “Oprah” yesterday, which meant it was the perfect time to talk about the couple’s sex life. Again. Jada has a lil’ habit of oversharing about how she and her actor husband keep things, um, frisky. It always comes off as a little try-too-hard to me, like the couple is attempting to convince us of something — like, I dunno, that neither of them are gay, as rumors have often alleged?

Oprah’s “Twilight” Special: The 6 Best Moments To Sink Your Teeth Into

Kelli BenderMay 13, 2010 //

When Lewis Carroll penned the line, “The time has come the walrus said,” I am sure he was referring to the “Twilight” episode of “Oprah.” Right? Well, the special has been plugged for a while and got its biggest push this week when rumors erupted that Kristen Stewart was having Robert Pattinson’s baby. I think most Twi-hards haven’t stopped squealing since—the ones in Oprah’s studio audience certainly hadn’t. The Big O rounded up some of the most manic fans out there, including that one who was holding up a sign that said, “Imprint Me.” After sitting through all the the audience’s screams and a hefty helping of Kristen’s awkwardness, I’ve narrowed it down to the six best moments.

Kristen Stewart And Robert Pattinson’s Baby: An OK Magazine Rendering

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comMay 13, 2010 //

Okay, OK Magazine. We get that you want to milk this story that Robert Pattinson said he and Kristen Stewart are having a baby, even though it was incredibly obvious that he was kidding when he divulged this to Oprah. But if you were going to do a sketch of what their baby would like like, did you really have to give it eyeliner, gelled hair, and an almost-goatee? Couldn’t you have done the composite for real—I mean, isn’t there an app for that? Also, why call this the Robsten baby when it should obviously be StewPatz? [OK] Keep reading »

The First Reviews For “Eclipse” Are In

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comMay 7, 2010 //

To any true “Twihard,” getting to see “Eclipse” months before opening night is far better than getting a shiny new car. So, naturally, Oprah decided to treat a very lucky studio audience—who also got to watch her interview Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Dakota Fanning, and Taylor Lautner—to a special advance screening of the movie which doesn’t open until June 30. (Her show with the film’s stars airs May 13.)

Naturally, the audience had to sign oodles of disclosure forms swearing they would not reveal the plot. But many have taken to Twitter to give their thoughts on the flick. Keep reading »
