IN A YEAR WHEN A GUY NAMED WEINER TWEETED OUT A PICTURE OF EXACTLY THAT, IT WAS PRETTY HARD TO SHOCK US… BUT IT WASN’T IMPOSSIBLE. THESE ARE 2011’S MOST SHOCKING CELEBRITY MOMENTS.
OK FINE, WE KNEW OPRAH WAS ENDING HER 25-YEAR REIGN AS THE QUEEN OF DAYTIME TALK WELL IN ADVANCE, BUT WE WERE STILL IN AWE OF THE HUGE SPECTACLE THAT TOOK OVER A 20,000-SEAAT ARENA IN CHICAGO BACK IN MAY.
THE NUMBER OF A-LISTERS WHO SHOWED UP TO SEND OPRAH OFF WAS MIGHTY IMPRESSIVE – MARIA SHRIVER, KRISTIN CHENOWITH, TYLER PERRY, TOM CRUISE, WILL & JADA AND STEVIE WONDER, JUST TO NAME A FEW!
ALL MY CHILDREN CANCELLED?! WHAT IN THE NAME OF ERICA KANE WERE THEY THINKING!?!
AFTER 42 SEASONS OF DRAMA IN PINE VALLEY, ABC PULLED THE PLUG ON THE LONG-RUNNING SOAP OPERA.
WHEN AMY WINEHOUSE WAS FOUND DEAD IN LONDON BACK IN JULY, IT DIDN’T TOTALLY BLOW OUR MINDS – AFTER ALL, SHE WAS A WELL-KNOWN ABUSER OF DRUGS AND ALCOHOL – BUT THE FACT THAT THE 27-YEAR-OLD SOUL DIVA IS NO LONGER WITH US IS STILL SHOCKING.
ANY TIME A BIG STAR ANNOUNCES SHE’S PREGNANT, WE GET EXCITED – BUT WHEN SHE DOES IT BY REVEALING HER BUMP ON A RED CARPET? THAT’S SHOCKING. WE GOTTA GIVE IT UP TO BEYONCE FOR HER BIG VMA BABY BOMBSHELL.
SPEAKING OF MTV’S SIGNATURE AWARDS SHOW – COULD LADY GAGA HAVE SHOCKED US ANY MORE THAN SHE DID AS JO CALDERONE. WE DON’T THINK SO.
PLANNING TO HAVE FRIENDS OVER IN THE NEAR FUTURE? HERE’S SOME ADVICE: DON’T INVITE OPRAH AND NATALIE PORTMAN TO THE SAME PARTY...
THERE MAY BE NO LOVE LOST BETWEEN THE TALK SHOW QUEEN AND THE VERY PREGNANT OSCAR WINNER. ACCORDING TO US WEEKLY, THE BLACK SWAN STAR WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN ON OPRAH’S POST OSCAR SPECIAL, BUT CANCELED JUST 2 HOURS BEFORE, CLAIMING SHE WAS “PREGNANT AND EXHAUSTED.”
BUT ON AN EPISODE OF HER “SEASON 25: BEHIND THE SCENES,” OPRAH SEEMED VERY ZEN ABOUT THE DISS.
BUT NOW, WE’RE NOT SO SURE WE’RE BUYING IT...
A SOURCE TELLS CELEBTV WHEN NATALIE AND JULIA ROBERTS APPEARED ON OPRAH TO PROMOTE THEIR MOVIE, “CLOSER”, NATALIE WAS REPORTEDLY SUCH A NIGHTMARE TO OPRAH’S PRODUCERS AND PUBLICISTS, THAT OPRAH VOWED NEVER TO HAVE HER BACK ON HER SHOW
AFTER A QUARTER OF A CENTURY , YOU BETTER BELIEVE SHE’S HAD MORE THAN A FEW LOOKS--SOME BETTER THAN OTHERS... AS WE SAY SO LONG, OPRAH, WE LOOK BACK AT 25 YEARS OF HER STYLE TRANSFORMATION
GOTTA HAND IT TO HER... NOT SO SURE WE’D LET OUR STYLE FLOPS BE BROADCAST FOR THE WHOLE WORLD TO SEE, BUT,THAT’S JUST ONE MORE REASON WHY WE LOVE HER...
WHEN SHE WAS FIRST STARTING OUT, OPRAH EMBRACED THE 80’S WITH A VENGEANCE. HEAVY MAKEUP. BRIGHT COLORS, AND OF COURSE THE LARGER THAN LIFE ‘DO...BUT HER FANS JUST COULDN’T GET ENOUGH
SOON ENOUGH, THE TALK SHOW HOST BECAME A SUPERSTAR AND WHAT OPRAH WAS WEARING REALLY STARTED TO MATTER...
SHE ‘S SUPPORTED US FROM THE VERY BEGINNING AND FROM THE INSIDE OUT
BUT IT’S THOSE EVER CHANGING HAIRSTYLES WE ‘LL ALWAYS REMEMBER...SHORT, LONG, CURLY STRAIGHT, BRAIDS AND EVEN THE REAL THING...
AND EVEN WHEN SHE WENT ALL TINA TURNER ON US, OPRAH ALWAYS IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE, SIMPLY THE BEST...
SHE CAN FILL AN ENTIRE STADIUM AND RALLY A LINE-UP OF A-LISTERS THAT RIVALS THE OSCARS…BUT BELIEVE IT OR NOT, OPRAH WINFREY IS NOT THE MOST POWERFUL CELEBRITY IN THE WORLD.
YEP, OPRAH’S BEEN DETHRONED… AND NOW IT’S LADY GAGA WHO’S EARNED THE COVETED TITLE OF NUMBER 1 ON FORBES MAGAZINE’S CELEBRITY 100 LIST…
NOT THAT OPRAH’S FALLEN FAR... SHE’S STILL NUMBER 2, THANKS TO THE $290 MILLION SHE EARNED OVER THE LAST YEAR. BUT FORBES DOESN’T RANK POWER ON MONEY ALONE ANYMORE…NOW INFLUENCE IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS INCOME.
SO EVEN THOUGH GAGA’S EARNED $90 MILLION, SHE HAS WAY MORE LITTLE MONSTERS THAN OPRAH AND EVEN JUSTIN BIEBER. ON SUNDAY, SHE THANKED HER FANS FOR HELPING HER REACH 10 MILLION FOLLOWERS ON TWITTER…NOT TO MENTION HER 32-MILLION FACEBOOK FANS.
AS FOR BIEBS, HE’S NUMBER 3 ON THE LIST…AT THE RIPE OLD AGE OF 17, HE RAKED IN $53 MILLION. AND YOU KNOW THAT WOULD’VE NEVER HAPPENED WITHOUT THE HELP OF YOUTUBE.
CelebTV’s sneak peek inside Oprah’s farewell show taping with Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Beyonce, Michael Jordan, Stevie Wonder, Will Smith, Madonna and Maria Shriver!
Tuesday night some of the biggest names in Hollywood gave Oprah her final send-off, and I was there to bring you some inside scoop!
The biggest surprise is being loved, blah blah blah
I remember when I was on your show, you looked about 10 years old…
The show was taped in 2 parts, and the first was all about girl power with…
Halle Berry, Katie Holmes and Queen Latifah, Madonna- who sorta disappointed the audience by not performing, but Beyonce made up for it with two versions of her new song “Girls Run The World”- …She reportedly didn’t like her entrance and wanted a do-over.
In my opinion, it was amazing both times!
In her first appearance since the Arnold scandal broke, Maria Shriver hit the stage, looking stunning in a sequined gown.
When the second show began, Will Smith took over as emcee, but it was Michel Jordan who got the biggest applause of the night! And Jerry Seinfeld’s stand-up was hilarious.
