TV Scoop: Don’t Piss Off @Oprah, Talk Show Queen Taps @Fantasia’s Jumpoff Wife To Appear On Show!

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

You can’t deny that TV queen Oprah Winfrey hasn’t offered “American Idol” star Fantasia ever opportunity to walk the straight and narrow. But it seems she’s washing her hands of the fallen idol and is going a bit below the belt.

Per Radar Online:

Oprah Winfrey has reached out to Paula Cook to talk about how American Idol star Fantasia Barrino stole her husband, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.

Paula – whose husband Antwaun Cook allegedly left her and their two sons for the Grammy nominated singer – is still considering Oprah’s offer and has also been approached by Oscar winner Mo’Nique to appear on her talk show too.

And while Fantasia has now opened-up about her botched recent suicide attempt, Cook has taken a leave of absence from her teaching job while she considers her options.

A source told RadarOnline.com: “Paula has been approached by Oprah’s people to go on her chat show. She still hasn’t decided what she will do though, and she was also approached by Mo’Nique too.

“There was also the chance for her to appear on a new reality show about spurned women, and she’s considering another option to write a book about the whole Fantasia saga.

Damn Momma Oprah this is a little harsh. But you already know Im gonna be front and center for this.

TV Scoop: Is Mo’Nique Pissed At @Oprah Over Sexual Abuse Show??

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010


Apparently the sh*t is hitting the fan now that Mo’Nique’s entire family went on Oprah Winfrey’s daytime talk show to discuss years of sexual abuse at the hands of her older brother Gerald Imes.

Although Winfrey asked Mo’Nique if it was okay if Imes appeared on her show the actress felt that he lied during the interview and it was not sympathetic enough towards her.

Winfrey – who also suffered sexual abuse – wanted to make sure that the Precious star fully understood what her estranged brother would say after he originally approached her to appear on the show. On the show – which aired on Monday – Imes confirmed that the molestation continued for a year or two, starting when he was 13 and Mo’Nique was 7 or 8.

But Mo’Nique believes her brother lied on the show and didn’t convey the full extent of what he did to her. As a result, her relationship with her brother and her parents, who also appeared on the show, is worse than ever.

A source close to Mo’Nique told RadarOnline.com: “Gerald actually made the first move and called Oprah asking her if he could appear on the show.

“So, Oprah called Mo’Nique to see if she was okay about him appearing on her show to discuss the abuse and although she was not entirely happy about it she gave Oprah her blessing.” [Source]

Personally I don’t feel like Mo has a leg to stand up as far as being upset. The fact of the matter I would never allow, if given the opportunity, let my family go on national television to discuss my personal demons without myself being present.

And truth be told I didn’t feel comfortable w/ Oprah putting herself — much less America– in the middle.

TV Scoop @Oprah Steps Into Primetime Television W/ New Show, Enlists @S_C_ & @LadyGaga For Help!

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

If anyone thought that Oprah was about to bust a mountain of books and fall off into obscurity reading her life away, you got another thing coming.

Per The Wall Street Journal:

Ms. Winfrey’s new show, which could air as many as two or three times a week, will take Ms. Winfrey out of the studio setting that has been her home for nearly 25 years and follow her around the globe for conversations in places such as Egypt and China. “I’m going to take viewers with me, going to take celebrities I want to interview with me” around the world, Ms. Winfrey said in an interview.

The network is using Ms. Winfrey’s ability to attract high-profile talent. One OWN series, “Visionaries: Inside the Creative Mind,” will highlight pop musician Lady Gaga and movie director James Cameron, among others. Another show, “Master Class,” will feature people like former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and musician Jay-Z relaying life stories and lessons directly into the camera.

Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, said Ms. Winfrey asked him to participate during a phone call. “I didn’t even think about it,” Mr. Carter said last month. “I just said ‘yes.’”

The new show is one of more than a dozen programs that OWN has lined up as it moves toward its scheduled debut on Jan. 1. A 50-50 joint venture between Ms. Winfrey’s Harpo Inc. and cable programmer Discovery Communications Inc., the new network plans to give a detailed look at its shows in a presentation to advertisers Thursday.

Dude this is freaking awesome, and gives me yet another chance to get on an Oprah show. I’m coming home Momma O!

TV Scoop: Judge Says @Oprah Must Appear Before Court Over Disgruntled Employee!

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

Man! It looks like Oprah’s good deed is turning into a royal nightmare!!

A Philadelphia judge has just ruled that Momma O will have to appear before a court to address legal allegations made by her former headmistress, of the daytime queen’s South African school.

If you’ve forgotten, Oprah fired Nomvuyo Mzamane once word broke out that she was abusing Winfrey’s far away children.

The former headmistress of Oprah’s South African school, but was dismissed from her position when she was charged for abusing the students. Nomvuyo claims that the charges are faulty and occurred because the talk show host defamed her during a press conference back in 2007.

A judge has decided that there is sufficient evidence to insist that Oprah appear in court.

Howard Stern Disagrees w/ @Oprah: Gabourey Sidibie Has A Future In Hollywood, “”Come On, Be Honest With The Girl!”

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Shock Jock Howard Sterns seems to be on the attack. And his victim is Academy Award actress Gabourey Sidibe. Stern seems to be somewhat offended that the world is building up Gabby to believe that she can be a full fledged successful actress in Hollywood:

There’s the most enormous, fat black chick I’ve ever seen. She is enormous. You feel bad because everyone’s pretending she’s a part of show business and she’s never going to be in another movie,” Stern said. “She really should have gotten the Best Actress award because she’s never going to have another shot.

What movie is she gonna be in?” “‘Blind Side 2,’” Stern suggested. “She could be the football player, take out the whole front line.”

“It’s so sad you want to say to her, listen honey, you got a little money in the bank, go get yourself thin. You’re gonna die. And now she’s famous and she’ll never get another acting job” Stern, on the air with his co-host Robin Quivers, also played the speech given by Oprah Winfrey to Sidibe at the Oscars on the program. The hosts said Oprah was lying to her by saying she’s going to have a career in Hollywood.”Come on, be honest with the girl,” Stern said. “Look in that room. Who else do you look like? Those are the people that work all the time,” Quivers agreed.

Clearly Howard didn’t get the memo that Gabourey has already landed a new acting gig on Showtimes’s new TV series “The Big C”. Only time will tell what she can do, but Im hopeful. People said the same thing about Oprah back in the day. And look at what she turned out to be. #imjustsayin.
