TV Scoop: @Oprah ’s Real Pops Wants Forgiveness!

Monday, April 19th, 2010

Could this old and decrepit man really be TV and media queen Oprah Winfrey’s pops? That’s what Norh Robinson is saying.

Per NYPost:

Norh Robinson, a dirt-poor Mississippi farmer now living in a rural VA hospital, wants Oprah to submit to a paternity test that he says would once and for all prove that he sired her in 1954.

Robinson said he dreams of just once speaking with Oprah as father and daughter before he dies — and revealed that, years ago, he tried to reach the talk-show queen to beg her to agree to a DNA test.

“I told her [in a letter], if she wanted, I’d give her one,” Robinson told The Post in an exclusive interview this week.

Oprah was raised by her mother, Vernita Lee, 75, and Lee’s longtime boyfriend, Vernon Winfrey. She considers Vernon her father but has figured out he isn’t her biological dad. [Source]

I have a problem with senior citizens who try to make peace with their problems. Oprah is a grown ass women and she don’t need to make peace with an old war veteran.

Gabourey Sidibe Didn’t Get The Memo That You Don’t Say “No” To @Oprah, + Precious Scoop!

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

Tonight the Oscars will be bring the world to a standstill — well for some people, so I’ve decided to do a bunch of Oscar themed blogs.

Apparently “Precious” star Gabourey Sidibe wants tonight to belong to her because it’s being reported that Momma Oprah extended an olive branch to the plus sized actress by inviting her to ride to the Academy Awards with the talk show/media queen. But Gabby aint having it:

“Oprah called me and was like, ‘Hey girl, do you want to ride together?’ ” the 26-year-old Oscar contender told PEOPLE at Thursday’s third annual Essence Black Women in Hollywood luncheon.

“I was like, ‘I got it Oprah, calm down. I don’t want to show up with you. [People.com]

Gabby instead is taking her mother to the prestigious and somewhat boring award show. Perhaps Gabby hasn’t gotten the memo that you do what Oprah asks..PERIOD!

And in other Precious news…

The Oprah Winfrey Network announced Monday that it had bought the TV rights to “Precious” from its distributor, Lionsgate. As part of the deal, the channel will also license several other Lionsgate films.

TV Scoop @Oprah ’s Oscar Special BOMBS In The Ratings!

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

Say it isn’t so! After more then twenty years of holding down her time slot on both her daytime and prime-time programs, Oprah’s “Oscar Special” totally bombed in the ratings Wednesday night.

According to site Tvbythenumbers.com Momma O’s television special came in dead last in the ratings as she tried to battle it out with such staple prime-time shows like comedy “Modern Family, and juggernaut “American Idol”.

Per TV By The Numbers:

CBS’s Wednesday comedy block suffered with The New Adventures of Old Christine down 26% from its last new episode and Gary Unmarried was down 17%. Criminal Minds fared much better, down only 3% from its last original outing. CSI:NY was down 9% as Law & Order: SVU gave it much more of a run for the money than The Jay Leno Show ever did, and NBC rose from the cellar to take third place for the night.

ABC had a bad night with The Middle down 28% from its last original outing, and Modern Family down 15%. Cougar Town was down 11%. With a 1.3 adults 18-49 rating, the Oprah Winfrey Oscar Special was 19% lower than Ugly Betty’s last original episode in the time slot. The daytime Queen held no sway in primetime last night.

With numbers like these it’s clear that Momma Oprah’s decision to hijack her show and take it to her own network in cableland was a right one. Network TV is sooooo dead! But I’m gagging that one of the most familliar faces in television couldn’t muster up enough interest to beat an old “Ugly Betty episode

Oprah Turns Down @JohnCMayer ’s Request To Eat Dog Sh*t On Her Daytime Talk Show!

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

OK I’m going to go ahead and call it, John Mayer is done! Still trying to clean up the mess he made with Playboy Magazine, Mayer reached out to  talk show queen Oprah Winfrey an in attempt to do a little damage control. Too bad Oprah isn’t interested:

Whenever a celebrity does something stupid, they often end up begging for forgiveness on Oprah’s sofa — but not John Mayer. Apparently, he’s going to have to find someone else’s shoulder to cry on, because the talk show queen is refusing to have the attention-seeking singer on her set. Oh, Johnny-boy, you know you’ve done bad when Oprah won’t let you boost her show’s ratings!

“Oprah is the smartest person on TV and will not let John use her or her show to ask for forgiveness,” a TV insider tells me. “If John really wants to apologize for his racist and sexist comments, he should find somewhere else. The only way Oprah, who is a dear friend of Jennifer Aniston, would ever book him is if John were interested in having a much deeper conversation about race, women and fame.” [Pop Eater]

Damn. You know its bad when Oprah wants no part of your revelations and or apologies. Wow!

Rumor: Oprah Moving Gayle Into Her California Mansion, Ends Relationship With Stedman Graham!

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

Oprah Winfrey is back in the news today. Throughout the entire span of her career, the talk show queen has been the focus of many gay rumors. And now, through the National Enquirer, it seems Momma O and her BFF Gayle King are moving in together.

Here’s what the gossip rag- turned credible news source- has to say:

As part of her plan, Oprah intends to move Gayle into “The Promised Land,” her sprawling 42-acre estate in Montecito, Calif., which she’s told pals will be her primary residence.

“Now that she’s giving up her talk show, Oprah sees no reason to stay in Chicago,” said a TV insider close to Winfrey.

“She was planning on making the transition to the Southern California area anyway, for the sake of her Oprah Winfrey Network.

“She and Gayle have a number of good friends in the Santa Barbara area, and they feel like it’s home. They both love it there.”

Oprah’s move to California with Gayle, 54, will also mark the end of her relationship with 58-year-old Stedman, the public relations and marketing executive she began dating in May 1986.

Now, everybody knows that I love me some Oprah. She’s been a pillar in my life since its inception. However, even I’m starting to look at her and Gayle a little side-eyed. [#imjustsayin]
