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.

Favorite Things Oprah OWN

OPRAH IS LURING VIEWERS FOR HER NETWORK WITH “FAVORITE THINGS” GIVEAWAY

#oprah #janetcharlton

Oprah finally figured out how to get people to watch her hard-to-find OWN network. She’s having another Favorite Things gigantic giveaway show on November 18. Designers Tory Burch and Michael Kors will help her shower audience members with prizes and this time she selected a deserving group to receive the gifts: military spouses from each branch of the armed forces!

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.

Assault Chris Brown Oprah Rihanna

RIHANNA IS STILL TRYING TO EXCUSE CHRIS BROWN’S BRUTAL BEHAVIOR

#rihanna #oprah #janetcharlton

Rihanna’s frank discussion with Oprah about the night she was assaulted by her boyfriend Chris Brown is sadly in character with the way many women react when beaten by their loved one. Shockingly, Rihanna described the vicious attack as a “cry for help.” She, like many women, didn’t want to believe that the man who had been their best friend and lover was capable of such deliberate brutality. So they try to conjure up an excuse, or even blame themselves. He couldn’t help it – he lost his temper. He didn’t mean it. She worried about HIM being called a monster! It’s awful to suffer the humiliation of being beaten, AND lose the person you love in one fell swoop. Rihanna desperately wanted to find a reason to forgive him because she still loved him. Horrified fans made that difficult to do at the time, but if Rihanna doesn’t wise up and realize that Chris is an arrogant and brutal man responsible for his own actions, she still might take him back.

LaToya Jackson Oprah OWN Reality Shows

THE “WHERE’S LA TOYA JACKSON?” MYSTERY IS SOLVED

We just figured out WHY LaToya Jackson was mysteriously MISSING during the Jackson family squabbles over the past few weeks. Usually LaToya is very free with her opinions. The reason for her reticence is because she was negotiating with Oprah’s OWN network to have her own reality series and didn’t want to jeopardize the deal. Now that papers are signed she has her own show “Life With LaToya,” that will hopefully be more interesting and realistic than her brothers disastrous scripted reality series, modestly titled “The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty.” The show lasted for only six awkward episodes on A&E, and went off the air in 2010. LAToya, 56, IS more watchable than her brothers, but is her private life really all that intriguing?

Barack Obama Feud! Michelle Obama Oprah Weight

NO LOVE LOST BETWEEN MICHELLE OBAMA AND OPRAH

Both Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey are bound to be INFURIATED by a new book coming out that’s documenting the bad blood between them. Author Edward Klein pointed out in “The Amateur” that after Oprah publicly endorsed Obama on her show, she expected VIP treatment in the White House. Obama himself was affable and strategized with Oprah, but Michelle was increasingly standoffish. Michelle had an assistant return Oprah’s calls, and kept a close eye on her husband. Privately she seemed to think Oprah wanted to use her white House ties to promote herself and perk up her ratings. The final blow came when Michelle implied that Oprah was too hefty and inappropriate to join her battle against childhood obesity. Despite Michelle, Oprah remains a huge supporter of Obama.

Feuds Oprah OWN Rosie O'Donnell

OPRAH AND ROSIE: CLASH OF THE TITANS

Oprah is NOT happy with Rosie O’Donnell. First of all, Rosie’s show isn’t pulling in the ratings that Oprah’s OWN network desperately needs. In order to boost viewership and create excitement, Oprah suggested that Rosie invite people she has famously feuded with to be on the show – like Barbara Walters, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, or Bill O’Reilly. She wants conflict. Oprah remembers the humongous ratings she got when Sarah Palin guested on her show and wants more of THAT, but Rosie is resisting. A major ego clash is predicted.

Ellen DeGeneres Oprah Portia de Rossi Talk Show

PORTIA SAYS ELLEN IS WAY TOO AMBITIOUS – SHE WANTS OPRAH’S CROWN

Ellen DeGeneres is obsessed with the idea of becoming the #1 talk show host now that Oprah is off the air. Ellen’s wife Portia de Rossi, however is not so thrilled with Ellen’s ambition. Besides working on her daily show, Ellen constantly has other projects that take up most of her spare time. She has so many work commitments that Portia feels left out – they can rarely even plan a vacation together. Portia would LOVE it if Ellen would leave the show when her contract is up and semi-retire, but it’s doubtful that Ellen can resist the lure of becoming the new Oprah.

Free Stuff Oprah OWN

OPRAH WILL MAKE HER OWN NETWORK A SUCCESS OR DIE TRYING

Oprah is still frantically trying to resuscitate her OWN network so she’s going to start giving away more freebies. During the run of her Oprah show, the most popular segments were celebrity interviews and “My Favorite Things” where the audience walked away with a bag of gifts. Oprah is developing a weekly show for OWN in which a different celebrity each week will give away THEIR favorite things (tech items, beauty products, fashion etc.) Her friend Gayle King may or may not host – the details are still being worked out.

Family Oprah Reality Shows Ryan O'Neal Tatum O'Neal

RYAN O’NEAL: “IT’S OPRAH’S FAULT THAT TATUM AND I DON’T SPEAK!”

How funny is it that Ryan “pass the buck” O’Neal blames Oprah for widening the rift in his family. Ryan, 70, and his estranged daughter Tatum, 47, filmed eight episodes of their reality show all about their attempts to reconcile after ten years of estrangement for the Oprah Winfrey Network. We have to give Tatum a lot of credit for even attempting to get along with her impossible father. The series featured therapy sessions including father and daughter but after it wrapped they were no longer speaking at all. Ryan blames not his own history as a monstrous father, but Oprah’s prying series. We think Tatum is better off without him.
