OPRAH AND DONALD TRUMP HAVE HISTORY TOGETHER

The Hollywood Reporter dug up an interesting tidbit about Oprah and Donald Trump. (If you thought the idea of Oprah Winfrey being friendly at one time with Harvey Weinstein was surprising – this is another jolt.) Donald Trump appeared on her talk show in 1988 and Oprah quizzed him about full page newspaper ads he’d taken out to protest US foreign policy. Trump said he was tired of the country being ripped off and Oprah brought up the idea of Trump running for office. Forward to 1999 when Trump was on The Larry King Show – he toyed with the idea of running for president. When Larry asked him who he’d like for Vice President, Trump replied “Oprah – I love Oprah – she’d be my first choice.”

Ali MacGraw Hair! Love Story Oprah

ALI MACGRAW: STILL LOOKING LOVABLE

Photo: OWN
We always figured that Ali MacGraw would age gracefully and keep her good looks. When she starred in the 70’s tear- jerker Love Story, every young girl wanted to look like her. The brunette beauty went on to marry no less than Steve McQueen, and last we heard she was very involved in yoga and dating her instructor. Now 75, Ali filmed an interview with Oprah for her OWN network and discussed the fact that she stopped coloring her hair and let the gray grow out. She explained that she moved from Beverly Hills to Santa Fe where the women are more relaxed about aging and less devoted to plastic surgery.

Lindsay Lohan Oprah OWN Series

BAD IDEA: OPRAH IS COUNTING ON LINDSAY LOHAN SERIES TO BOOST OWN NETWORK

People seem to be tired of watching Betty Ford dropout Lindsay Lohan enjoy one opportunity after another, after lousing up her own life and career. Her new docu-series “Lindsay” didn’t set any records for Oprah’s OWN network – the first episode Sunday night pulled in 693,000 viewers. Mediocre at best. One wonders what Lindsay did to deserve being paid two million dollars, given assistants and a stylist, and set up in a fancy New York apartment, while having cameras follow her efforts at resurrecting her career. Is she even grateful? Funny – we’re just not interested enough to tune in.

Apartment Lindsey Lohan Oprah

LINDSAY LOHAN: OPRAH IS HER FAIRY GODMOTHER TO THE EXTREME

Top Photo: HARPO
Some people have all the luck. Just when Lindsay Lohan, 27, hit another low point in her life, Oprah Winfrey stepped in and changed everything! Not only did Oprah help Lindsay stay clean, she offered her two million dollars to film a documentary about rebuilding her career for Oprah’s OWN network. To sweeten the deal Oprah threw in this amazing $16,800 a month apartment in Soho! It’s got 3 bedrooms and 3 baths and tons of square feet. Is she worth it? You be the judge – the doc airs in April.

Lindsay Lohan Oprah OWN Ratings

ARE PEOPLE SICK OF THE SIGHT OF LINDSAY LOHAN?

SOMEBODY’S not as hot as they used to be. Despite relentless publicity, Oprah Winfrey’s interview with Lindsay Lohan was NOT a hit with viewers! According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 1 hour premier on OWN drew 892,000 viewers. In comparison, Oprah’s interview with Whitney Houston’s family in 2012 had 3.5 million viewers and her Lance Armstrong interview pulled in 3.2 million viewers. Lohan admitted lying about her cocaine use but avoided the subject of her real obsession, Adderall. Oprah might be having second thoughts about signing Lohan to an eight episode docuseries on OWN that will follow her acting career.

Forest Whitaker Oprah The Butler

“THE BUTLER” SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE

Wild horses couldn’t keep us from seeing “The Butler.” Reviews are mixed, but we can’t imagine that we won’t find SOMETHING to love about this movie. Hopefully there will be plenty of personal observations and juicy behind-the-scenes details about the private lives of eight presidents and how they reacted to current events. The cast is amazing – we just hope the script lives up to expectations.

Drugs Lance Armstrong Liar, Liar! Oprah

EVEN OPRAH CAN’T MAKE US FORGET LANCE ARMSTRONG’S LIES

#lancearmstrong #janetcharlton

We hope the arrogant Lance Armstrong doesn’t think he’s doing some wonderful thing by finally confessing to Oprah that he doped when he won those seven Tour de France titles, that have since been taken away. Years of outright lying and belittling and threatening people around him – and maybe even blackmailing- are not easily erased. The only reason he’s talking now is because he MIGHT lift his lifetime ban from sports. In order to do that, he’ll have to reveal HOW he got around the tests and WHO helped him. That means he’ll probably lose the few friends he has left. We look forward to seeing him squirm.

Divorce Father Money Oprah Vernon Winfrey

OPRAH CAN’T KEEP UP WITH VERNON WINFREY’S LOVE LIFE

#oprah #janetcharlton

Rich people probably have more problems with relatives that the rest of us. Oprah Winfrey’s father Vernon, 79, simply refuses to behave even though she supports him. He’s in the middle of divorcing his younger wife of 11 years, Barbara, and admitted that he not only had a week long affair with another woman, but he brandished a gun during an argument. Vernon says he only makes $282 a month in profits from his barber shop, but Barbara revealed that his daughter Oprah not only bought Vernon a 1.5 million dollar house in Nashville to live in, but she doles out a $25,000 allowance every three months from a trust she set up for him. Barbara wants HER share – of Oprah’s money…

Feet Oprah Shoes! The Butler

OPRAH’S FEET DON’T LIKE VINTAGE SHOES

Ouch! Oprah Winfrey’s feet are rebelling on the set of The Butler, now filming in New Orleans, Louisiana. She wears huge bouffant wigs and appropriate vintage clothing and shoes for her role as the wife of the White House butler played by Forest Whitaker. The movie spans several decades and Oprah has a massive wardrobe with appropriately painful shoes. Even her striped flats were hurting her as she arrived on the set today, so she took them off until the cameras rolled.
