JADA PINKETT SMITH INTENDS TO KEEP RED TABLE TALK ON THE AIR

Jada Pinkett Smith is heartbroken that her popular online series, Red Table Talk, was booted and she’s hoping Oprah Winfrey can be her savior. Her show was a hit, but Facebook Watch decided to shut down their entire division of programming. Ideally, Jada would love to have Oprah pick up the show for her network, OWN. She has already reached out to Oprah and the two are planning to meet for lunch in Montecito, where Oprah lives, to discuss working together.

Birthday Extravagant Oprah

OPRAH’S OVER-THE-TOP BIRTHDAY PLANS

It’s almost a year away but Oprah Winfrey has alerted her friends to save the date or actually a whole week next January. Oprah’s turning 70 next January 29 and she’s continuing her tradition of hosting an extravagant birthday soirée every 10 years. Her last blowout bash was when she turned 60, and for 70, she’s planning to outdo herself. She hasn’t decided on the locale, but she already mailed her friends fancy save-the-date cards to give them enough time to plan their schedules accordingly. She’s working with a party planner and possible venues include a cruise, Hawaii, Bora Bora or Africa.(!) Generous Oprah will pick up the tab for EVERYTHING, including transportation, accommodations, food and festivities. We’re DYING to know who’s on that guest list…

Dr Phil Oprah We Told Ya So!

DR PHIL: WE TOLD YA SO!

Back in December , we told you that Oprah’s “discovery” Dr Phil, was secretly planning to run for office like Oprah’s other friend Dr Oz. He recently announced “I’m moving on from daytime” and leaving his show after 21 seasons. YOU know where he’s going!

WHAT has Oprah unleashed upon us! First, Dr Oz ran for the U.S. Senate and we were afraid he might get elected simply because Oprah made him such a well-known celebrity. Turns out, she didn’t agree with him politically, and he was not elected. Now Oprah’s OTHER protege, Dr Phil, is secretly gearing up to run for the Senate also! But not in his home state Texas, where Ted Cruz will run for re-election. Dr Phil’s plan is to buy a home in the state where he feels he has the best chance of winning, and become a candidate there. Oprah doesn’t see eye to eye with Dr Phil politically either, so don’t expect to see her on the campaign trail. Can he get elected without her?

Missing in Action Oprah Stedman Graham

WHERE IN THE WORLD IS STEDMAN?

Where’s Stedman? Some of Oprah’s friends are wondering where her longtime partner Stedman Graham has been since he hasn’t been spending as much time in Montecito where he usually lives with Oprah. Stedman still travels the globe for work, but even so he’s usually seen around town, especially at his favorite gourmet food store just blocks from Oprah’s compound. He hasn’t been seen around lately and friends are wondering if all is okay with him or his longtime romance with Oprah. He was even MIA at a recent holiday party Oprah hosted.

Donald Trump Oprah Politics

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.

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.
