My Kids Aren't Allowed to Google Me: Brad Pitt

2012-01-29T03:45:00.001-08:00

Brad Pitt and his partner, Angelina Jolie's name yields hundreds of millions of results.

But their kids would never know it.

"On all the kids' computers we had our names blocked," the actor, 48, told Germany's Bild. "They can't Google their mom and dad. I don't want to make myself dependent on what other people think."

Pitt adds that he and Jolie, 36, aren't exactly searching for themselves either. "We don't even notice all the noise," he said.

The same could be said for his stance on aging. Despite being just two years away from the big 5-0, the actor says he enjoys getting older.

"I love becoming an older man. Your thoughts get clearer."

Those thoughts may include a wedding in the works. The actor told The Hollywood Reporter that he and Jolie "would like to marry."

"It seems to mean more and more to our kids," he added.Source

Michael Jackson Honored By His Kids

2012-01-28T03:57:00.000-08:00

After a decades-long career filled with massive hits like "Bad" and "Thriller," you might think the late Michael Jackson had earned every award out there. Surprisingly, though, the King of Pop was only honored in front of Hollywood's famous Grauman's Chinese Theatre on Thursday during a ceremony featuring his three children. Prince, 14, Paris, 13, and Blanket, 9, used their father's signature shoes and glittery glove to leave his hand and foot prints in the famous sidewalk, alongside those of Marilyn Monroe, Fred Astaire, and many more.

And despite Michael's many other honors, son Prince noted that the star would have found this one meaningful.

"My dad won the lifetime achievement award. It was an award he strived and worked the hardest to get but for me, and I think for him as well, this right here is his lifetime achievement award," Prince revealed. "This is what he strived to get and this is what we are giving him now today."

"I don't usually get nervous, but I'm kind of a little nervous right now," Justin told the crowd. "Michael meant so much to me, I know that he meant a lot to you guys as well. He was more than entertainer. He was an inspiration. He was kind, gentle ... he was very charitable. People are going to remember him for his dancing and singing, but people have to remember him for being the man that he was. Everything I do ... I look at Michael, I want to be as good as he was."

Justin also noted that he often sang "Rockin' Robin" in the mirror when he was "really little," and performed a verse a cappella for the crowd. Do you think Michael would approve of his rendition?

Looks like we'll never know. Unfortunately, as Justin revealed to "Access Hollywood," the two never crossed paths since the Canadian crooner was just beginning his career when Michael died in June 2009.

"I basically released my first single the week he passed, so it was really unfortunate," Justin said. "So I feel like, it's just really sad. That was one person I really wanted to meet." Source

Megan Fox Island Video Inspires Young Brazilian Men To Learn English

2012-01-24T03:03:00.001-08:00

"Transformers" star Megan Fox is the latest Hollywood celeb to make a little extra cash appearing in a foreign commercial. And surprise: This one isn't even embarrassing! (Well, it's definitely less embarrassing than, say, "Jonah Hex.")

Following the lead of fellow foreign pitchmen Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Aniston, Fox puts her appeal to work in this ad for Brazilian foreign-language school CCAA. A pair of teen boys wash up on a remote island after a plane crash, only to be greeted by the very alluring Ms. Fox. She welcomes them to "Megan Fox Island," where clones of Megan frolic together in paradise. Every Brazilian boy's dream, right?

But alas, the teens are stopped short when they can't communicate with Megan -- because they can't speak English. (Guess she's not interested in the international language of love.) Annoyed, the starlet banishes the boys back to the sea, where they arrive on another, less enticing island: Mike Tyson Island, where clones of the boxing champ (in a nice cameo) preside over a bleak, savage wasteland.

If there's a better reason for young Brazilian boys to learn English, we haven't heard it

Kobe Bryant divorce: Wife Vanessa gets $18.8 million in property

In her divorce from Kobe Bryant, wife Vanessa will get 3 mansions

Kobe Bryant's divorce from his wife Vanessa has not be finalized, but Orange County property records show the couple is beginning to distribute their assets.

Three mansions in Newport Beach's upscale Newport Coast community have recently placed in Vanessa Bryant's name.

The three properties have a total value of $18.8 million, according to property records on file at the Orange County Clerk-Recorders Office in Santa Ana.

Neither of the attorneys representing the couple was available for comment Friday.

Vanessa Bryant filed a divorce petition in Orange County Superior Court in December, citing "irreconcilable differences." The couple released a joint statement then saying that they had "resolved all issues incident to their divorce privately."

The couple did not have a prenuptial agreement, Vanessa Bryant's mother previously told a Times reporter. If true, she would be entitled to half of their community property.

Some estimates put Kobe Bryant's net worth at $150 million. Legal experts said Vanessa Bryant will probably receive at least $75 million in addition to ongoing spousal and child support.

Kobe Bryant and Vanessa married on April 18, 2001, at St. Edward Roman Catholic Church in Dana Point, California.

Who Is Kobe Bryant

Kobe Bean Bryant (born August 23, 1978) is an American professional basketball player who plays shooting guard for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association (NBA).

He decided to declare his eligibility for the NBA Draft upon graduation, and was selected with the 13th overall pick in the 1996 NBA Draft by the Charlotte Hornets, then traded to the Los Angeles Lakers. As a rookie, Bryant earned himself a reputation as a high-flyer and a fan favorite by winning the 1997 Slam Dunk Contest.

Chuck Norris

2012-01-21T00:49:00.000-08:00

Carlos Ray "Chuck" Norris (born March 10, 1940) is an American martial artist and actor. After serving in the United States Air Force, he began his rise to fame as a martial artist and has since founded his own school, Chun Kuk Do. As a result of his "tough guy" image, an Internet phenomenon began in 2005 known as Chuck Norris facts, ascribing various implausible or even impossible feats to Norris.

Norris appeared in a number of action films, such as Way of the Dragon in which he starred alongside Bruce Lee and was The Cannon Group's leading star in the 1980s. He next played the starring role in the television series Walker, Texas Ranger from 1993 to 2001.

Norris is a devout Christian and politically conservative. He has written several books on Christianity and donated to a number of Republican candidates and causes. In 2007 and 2008, he campaigned for former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, who was running for the Republican nomination for President in 2008. Norris also writes a column for the conservative website WorldNetDaily.

The "Walker, Texas Ranger" star writes on the conservative website World Net Daily that he's supporting Newt Gingrich's campaign for the Republican presidential nomination.

"We believe Newt's experience, leadership, knowledge, wisdom, faith and even humility to learn from his failures (personal and public) can return America to her glory days," Norris writes. "And he is the best man left on the battlefield who is able to outwit, outplay and outlast Obama and his campaign machine."

Gingrich responded in the most amazing way possible. The candidate wrote on his Twitter, "Honored to have Chuck Norris' endorsement. He will make an excellent Secretary of Attack."

Boyz II Men

2012-01-10T22:48:00.000-08:00

Boyz II Men is an American R&B vocal group best known for emotional ballads and a cappella harmonies. They are the most successful R&B group of all time, having sold more than 60 million albums worldwide. In the 1990s, Boyz II Men found fame on Motown Records as a quartet, but original member Michael McCary left the group in 2003 due to health issues. Currently the group is a trio signed to Decca Records, with members Nathan Morris, Wanya Morris, and Shawn Stockman. The group won four Grammy Awards in the 1990s, and the trio was nominated for two Grammys in 2009.

Boyz II Men formed at the Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts in 1988 as a quintet; however, original member Marc Nelson left the group before its first studio recording to pursue a solo career. In the 1990s, Boyz II Men gained international celebrity behind unprecedented success on the pop charts. The group's first single to reach number 1, 1992's "End of the Road", a phenomenal hit, reached the top of charts across the globe. "End of the Road" would set a new record for longevity, staying at number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for 13 weeks, breaking a decades-old record held by Elvis Presley.

Boyz II Men would exceed even that record later in the decade with hits "I'll Make Love to You" and "One Sweet Day" (with Mariah Carey), which each exceeded records for the longest period of time a single remained at number 1. As of 2010, "One Sweet Day" still holds the all-time record with 16 weeks at the top of the Hot 100. Although "On Bended Knee" did not exceed any records, it was still a very popular song that reached number 1 and made Boyz II Men the third artist (after The Beatles and Elvis) to replace themselves at the number one rating of the Billboard Hot 100. Because of this, Boyz II Men are among the only artists that have stayed at the number one spot cumulatively 50 times, just fourth behind Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and Mariah Carey. They also hold the numbers one, three and four spots for 3 of the longest running singles in music history with "One Sweet Day," "I'll Make Love to You" and "End of the Road." These achievements were enough to earn Boyz II Men recognition as Billboard Magazine's most successful musical group of the 1990s

On January 5, 2012, Boyz II Men were awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame

Nathan said they accepted the recognition with gratitude and were humbled to know that they with join the ranks of Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, the Four Tops, and Diana Ross: "When you become artists it's the furthest thing away from you mind … you never think about whatever other accolades may come further down the line."

I'm Not Crazy Anymore-Charlie Sheen

2012-01-10T01:20:00.000-08:00

"I'm not crazy anymore. That was an episode," Charlie Sheen told reporters at Sunday night's FOX Television Critics Association party in Pasadena, Calif. "I think I'm a different person than I was yesterday. Everything is a lot more mellow and focused and much more rooted in reality." The headline-making 46-year-old actor is excited to begin shooting his new FX show, "Anger Management," which plans to film 10 episodes in six weeks.

"I've been at this 30 years. It's nice to be in a situation where the people I'm working with are excited about my input. That wasn't the case for a long time," he said.

Charlie said it is "premature" to name other actors who might guest star on his new series, but teased that "everybody" wants to be on the new comedy.

The actor also said he's traded in Twitter rants and nights with his former Goddesses for quality time with his family.

"I've been spending a lot of time with the kids, a lot of time with the family and I'm getting back into work mode," he explained. "I'm a single guy hanging out with my children."

As for his former "Two and a Half Men" co-star Jon Cryer and the show's producer Chuck Lorre, he says some lines of communication are open.

"Jon and I text. Chuck, no," he explained. "But at some point we are going to have to get some closure there."

Hollywood On Fire: Police Seeks Collaboration from Public

2011-12-30T09:24:00.000-08:00

Authorities are asking members of the public to step forward with information after a string of 19 arsons in West Hollywood and Hollywood damaged buildings and cars throughout the area.

Police are canvassing the neighborhoods and issued a citywide tactical alert at 12:45 a.m. The Los Angeles Fire Department also doubled the number of arson teams on call to four, after firefighters scrambled overnight to put out the fires.

Authorities said the fires could have led to loss of life or injury.

In total, four suspected arson fires occurred in West Hollywood and 15 in Hollywood, including a blaze at the former home of Jim Morrison.

Police said calls started coming in shortly after midnight with reports of car fires in West Hollywood. Flames consumed three vehicles near Sunset and Carson, and several apartment buildings were damaged as flames spread from the burning cars to the structures.

At 2:39 a.m., as many as four vehicles were set on fire near a two-story apartment building in Hollywood, police said. In another blaze at 4:03 a.m., a vehicle fire threatened a residential complex at 1439 N. Poinsettia Place.

The latest fires come a day after police arrested Samuel Arrington, 22, of Sunland in connection with three arsons that occurred on a five-block stretch of Sunset Boulevard on Thursday morning. Police are not sure if the 19 arsons are the work of a copycat or if they arrested the wrong person.

It is also not clear whether authorities are looking for one or multiple suspects.

Steve Guttenberg Gets Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame

2011-12-12T02:55:00.000-08:00

Steve Guttenberg is to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, for services to the childhoods of millions of 30-somethings. If you grew up in the 1980s and don’t remember at least three Guttenberg films, you are either lying or blind.

Guttenberg has starred in 52 films, with most all of his bigger hits coming in the ’80s. Police Academy (and its 8,000 sequels), Three Men and a Baby, Short Circuit – these will be childhood favorites for many people of a certain maturity, and they made Guttenberg famous.

Then there was Cocoon, and after that a string of straight-to-DVD flicks, but I don’t wish to make fun of Guttenberg – while there are obviously stronger actors, there’s always been something eminently likeable about the man, and I’m rather pleased he’s been given a star on Hollywood’s most famous street.

One Guttenberg memory that has really stuck in my head is 1983′s The Day After. Guttenberg was the star of this TV movie, which portrayed a full-blown nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union and tapped in to the widespread Cold War paranoia of the time.

Indeed, I recently read that (President of the day) Ronald Reagan watched the film before its screening, and admitted in his diary that the film was “very effective and left me greatly depressed.” In 1987, Reagan signed the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty in Reykjavik, and would later acknowledge The Day After‘s influence on this very decision in his memoirs.

Steve’s star will be unveiled Monday.

Lindsay Lohan is ahead of schedule to finish community service

2011-12-09T07:40:00.000-08:00

Lindsay Lohan is making headlines for her upcoming Pl8y-boy centerfold. But law enforcement sources said she's been quietly putting in her required hours of community service at the L.A. County ko-ro-ne-r's office and is now ahead of schedule for completing the court-ordered service.

Lohan is scheduled to appear before Judge Stephanie Sautner Dec. 14 for a probation update, and those familiar with her community service say she has been doing more than 12 days a month at the county maurgue. At this rate she could finish her community service by March in connection with her probation violation on her necklace theft conviction and 2007 driving under the influence conviction.

Last month, the judge sentenced Lohan to 30 days in jail and ordered her to complete her entire community service at the maurgue, where she works as a ja=nitor. The jail time amounted to a matter of hours.

Lohan admitted to violating probation by missing required work days and appointments. Lohan missed 12 of 20 scheduled workdays at the Downtown Women's Center imposed in May when she pleaded guilty to the necklace theft from a Venice jewelry store. Lohan, 25, also canceled 14 of 19 scheduled appointments for court-ordered psychotherapy, they said.

Michael Jackson's doctor Sentenced to 4 Years in Jail

2011-11-30T00:01:00.000-08:00

LOS ANGELES (AP) — It was clear that Michael Jackson's doctor was going to get the maximum four-year sentence for involuntary manslaughter before the judge even finished speaking.

In a nearly half-hour tongue lashing, Dr. Conrad Murray was denounced as a greedy, remorseless physician who committed a "horrific violation of trust" and killed the King of Pop during an experiment.

"Dr. Murray created a set of circumstances and became involved in a cycle of horrible medicine," Judge Michael Pastor said in a stern voice.

Pastor said Murray sold out his profession for a promised fee of $150,000 a month when he agreed to give Jackson a powerful anesthetic every night as an unorthodox cure for insomnia.

Murray will likely serve less than two years in county jail, not state prison, because of California's overcrowded prisons and jails. Sheriff's officials said he will be housed in a one-man cell and be kept away from other inmates.

Jackson's family said in a statement read in court that they were not seeking revenge but a stiff sentence for Murray that would serve as a warning to opportunistic doctors. Afterward, they said they were pleased with the judge's sentence.

Murray, 58, was convicted after a six-week trial that presented the most detailed account yet of Jackson's final hours, a story of the performer's anguish over being unable to sleep.

Tony Award

2011-07-04T12:42:00.000-07:00

The Antoinette Perry Award for Excellence in Theatre, more commonly known as a Tony Award, recognizes achievement in live Broadway theatre. The awards are presented by the American Theatre Wing and The Broadway League at an annual ceremony in New York City. The awards are given for Broadway productions and performances, and an award is given for regional theatre. Several discretionary non-competitive awards are also given, including a Special Tony Award, the Tony Honors for Excellence in Theatre, and the Isabelle Stevenson Award. The awards are named after Antoinette Perry, co-founder of the American Theatre Wing.

The rules for the Tony Awards are set forth in the official document "Rules and Regulations of The American Theatre Wing's Tony Awards", which applies for that season only. The Tony Awards are considered the highest U.S. theatre honor, the New York theatre industry's equivalent to the Academy Awards (Oscars) for motion pictures, the Grammy Awards for music and the Emmy Awards for television, and the Laurence Olivier Award for West End theatre in England.

Since 1997, the Tony Awards ceremony has usually been held at Radio City Music Hall in New York City in June and broadcast live on CBS television. The 65th Tony Awards ceremony was held on June 12, 2011 at the Beacon Theatre in New York City, and broadcast on CBS television.

The Primetime Emmys generally air in mid-September, on the Sunday before the official start of the fall television season. They are currently seen in rotation among the four major networks (CBS, ABC, NBC, and FOX). Because of NBC's coverage of Sunday Night NFL Football beginning in September, when NBC has had the rotation in 2006 and again in 2010, the Emmys move to late August for those years only.

Emmys are considered the television equivalent to the Academy Awards (for film), Grammy Awards (for music), and Tony Awards (for stage).

Hollywood Walk of Fame

2011-07-04T03:41:00.001-07:00

The Hollywood Walk of Fame is a series of sidewalks along either side of a 15-block segment of Hollywood Boulevard and a 3-block segment of Vine Street in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, USA that serves as a permanent public monument to achievement in the entertainment industry. More than 2,400 5-pointed terrazzo and brass stars are embedded at 6-foot intervals over a combined 1.7 miles. The stars recognize an eclectic mix of actors, musicians, directors, producers, musical and theatrical groups, fictional characters, and others for their entertainment contributions. The Walk is administrated by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and maintained by the self-financing Hollywood Historic Trust.

According to a report by the market research firm NPO/Plog Research, the Walk attracts about 10 million visitors annually - more than Sunset Strip, Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, the Queen Mary, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art - and has played an important role in making tourism the largest industry in Los Angeles County.

Description

The Walk of Fame runs 1.3 miles (2.1 km) east to west on Hollywood Boulevard from North Gower Street to North La Brea Avenue, plus a short segment of Marshfield Way that runs diagonally between Hollywood and La Brea; and 0.4 miles (0.7 km) north to south on Vine Street between Yucca Street and Sunset Boulevard.

Each monument consists of a coral-pink terrazzo five-point star rimmed with brass (not bronze, an oft-repeated inaccuracy) inlaid into a charcoal-colored terrazzo background. In the upper portion of the pink star field, the name of the honoree is inlaid in brass block letters. Below the inscription, in the lower half of the star field, a round inlaid brass emblem indicates the category of the honoree's contributions.

The emblems symbolize five categories within the entertainment industry:

Classic film camera representing motion pictures
Television set representing broadcast television
Phonograph record representing audio recording
Comedy/tragedy masks representing theater/live performance (added in 1984)

Hollywood

2011-07-04T03:31:00.001-07:00

Hollywood is a neighborhood in Los Angeles, California - situated west-northwest of Downtown Los Angeles. Due to its fame and cultural identity as the historical center of movie studios and movie stars, the word "Hollywood" is often used as a metonymy of American cinema, and is often interchangeably used to refer to the greater Los Angeles area in general. The nicknames StarStruck Town and Tinseltown refer to Hollywood and its movie industry. Today, much of the movie industry has dispersed into surrounding areas such as the Westside neighborhood, but significant auxiliary industries, such as editing, effects, props, post-production and lighting companies remain in Hollywood, as does the backlot of Paramount Pictures.

Many historic Hollywood theaters are used as venues and concert stages to premiere major theatrical releases and host the Academy Awards. It is a popular destination for nightlife, tourism, and is home to the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Film

2011-07-04T02:41:00.001-07:00

A film, also called a movie or motion picture, is a series of still or moving images. It is produced by recording photographic images with cameras, or by creating images using animation techniques or visual effects. The process of filmmaking has developed into an art form and industry.

Films are cultural artifacts created by specific cultures, which reflect those cultures, and, in turn, affect them. Film is considered to be an important art form, a source of popular entertainment and a powerful method for educating — or indoctrinating — citizens. The visual elements of cinema give motion pictures a universal power of communication. Some films have become popular worldwide attractions by using dubbing or subtitles that translate the dialogue into the language of the viewer.

Films are made up of a series of individual images called frames. When these images are shown rapidly in succession, a viewer has the illusion that motion is occurring. The viewer cannot see the flickering between frames due to an effect known as persistence of vision, whereby the eye retains a visual image for a fraction of a second after the source has been removed. Viewers perceive motion due to a psychological effect called beta movement.

The origin of the name "film" comes from the fact that photographic film (also called film stock) has historically been the primary medium for recording and displaying motion pictures. Many other terms exist for an individual motion picture, including picture, picture show, moving picture, photo-play and flick. A common name for film in the United States is movie, while in Europe the term film is preferred. Additional terms for the field in general include the big screen, the silver screen, the cinema and the movies. Source

Christina Aguilera will mentor wannabe singers on NBC's new TV talent show "The Voice." The network apparently doesn't mind the trouble that's been brewing around the pop star recently.

Christina Aguilera was arrested for public intoxication early Tuesday morning. She was booked for a misdemeanor, while her boyfriend Matthew Rutler was accused of driving under the influence.

On "The Voice," four famous musician coaches, including Aguilera, will each select singers to mentor into artists during the blind auditions. Once they have their teams, the star coaches will bring in their personal songwriters, producers, and high-powered friends to help their teams evolve.

Ultimately, America will decide which singer will be worthy of the grand prize, a recording contract and $100,000.

Law enforcement sources have told TMZ that Christina Aguilera appeared to be "extremely intoxicated" and "unable to take care of herself." However, the source also points out Aguilera was not driving - her boyfriend was arrested for DUI, and she was taken in on public intoxication charges.

The pop star was released without charge. Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy Bill McSweeney says Aguilera was "not involved in any criminal activity" and was allowed to walk free on Tuesday morning once she could "safely take care of herself." She will not face prosecution. Production assistant Rutler was freed hours later on $30,000 bail.

Colombian singer Shakira was honored Saturday by Harvard University for her artistic and humanitarian work. She later said some U.S. states' proposed anti-immigrant legislation goes against her foundation's efforts to provide education to poor people around the world.

The Grammy Award-winning singer, however, said Latino immigrants in the U.S. facing various anti-immigrant bills will have "justice" as public awareness about their plight grows.

"Justice will come. I'm sure," Shakira told The Associated Press after the award ceremony. "Wherever there is ... a kid, who could be the son or the daughter of a Latino immigrant, who cannot attend a school in the United States of America, that kid should be a concern to all of us and our responsibility."

"I believe we should never think less of the Latino community because it's a productive force in this country," Shakira told the AP.

The singer, born Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll, was awarded the "2011 Artist of the Year" from the Harvard Foundation, the university's center for intercultural arts and science initiatives.

Foundation director S. Allen Counter said Shakira, who has sold more than 50 million albums worldwide, was honored for her "distinguished history of creativity," as well as for her charitable contributions.

Previous winners of the Harvard award include Sharon Stone, Will Smith, Jackie Chan and Herbie Hancock.

American Idol is a reality television competition to find new solo singing talent. Part of the Idol franchise, it was created by Simon Fuller as a spin-off from the British show Pop Idol. Debuting on June 11, 2002, as American Idol: The Search for a Superstar on the Fox network, the show has since become one of the most popular in the history of American television. As of January 2011 it is the most-watched TV series in the Nielsen ratings and is the only program to have been number one for six consecutive seasons, surpassing All in the Family and The Cosby Show, which were both number one for five consecutive seasons.

The program aims to discover the best singer in the country where the winner is determined by the viewers. Through telephone and SMS text voting, viewers have chosen as winners Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Fantasia Barrino, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Hicks, Jordin Sparks, David Cook, Kris Allen, and Lee DeWyze (listed in chronological order).

The series employs a panel of judges who critique the contestants' performances. The original three judges were Grammy Award-winning record producer and music manager Randy Jackson, Grammy Award-winning pop singer and Emmy Award-winning choreographer Paula Abdul and award-winning music executive and music manager Simon Cowell. As of January 2011 the judging panel currently consists of Jackson, singer/actress Jennifer Lopez and Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler. For all seasons, the show is hosted by radio disc jockey Ryan Seacrest.

The show was described by rival TV executives as "the most impactful show in the history of television."

Idol rules the reality roost because the winners of Fox's ratings juggernaut actually do go on to greatness. And Taylor Hicks? He's the exception that proves the rule."

The Oprah Winfrey Show

2011-02-11T06:25:00.000-08:00

The Oprah Winfrey Show (often simply referred to as Oprah or just O) is an American syndicated talk show, hosted and produced by its namesake Oprah Winfrey, and is the highest-rated talk show in American television history. The show airs on most ABC-owned stations in the United States (as well as various other stations through CBS Television Distribution, successor to King World).

The show is highly influential, and many of its topics penetrate into American pop-cultural consciousness. While early episodes of the show followed a Phil Donahue-style exploration of sensationalistic social issues, Oprah eventually transformed her series into one with an image of a more positive, spiritually uplifting experience by featuring book clubs, celebrity interviews, self-improvement segments, and philanthropic forays into world events. The show has been criticized for frequently being an hour-long daytime infomercial, as product placement plays a major role in the show's revenue. Her promotion of books belonging to her book club has also been targeted by critics as these sales are an important source of revenue for Oprah Winfrey.

As of 2010, it is one of the longest-running daytime television talk shows in the United States, having run nationally since September 8, 1986, for over 24 seasons and nearly 5,000 episodes. On November 19, 2009, Oprah Winfrey's production company announced that the show will be ending on September 9, 2011.

Orpah Winfrey

2011-02-10T06:18:00.000-08:00

Oprah Winfrey (born Orpah Gail Winfrey; January 29, 1954) is an American television host, actress, producer, and philanthropist, best known for her self-titled, multi-award winning talk show, which has become the highest-rated program of its kind in history. She has been ranked the richest African American of the 20th century, the greatest black philanthropist in American history, and was once the world's only black billionaire.She is also, according to some assessments, the most influential woman in the world.

Winfrey was born into poverty in rural Mississippi to a teenage single mother and later raised in an inner-city Milwaukee neighborhood. She experienced considerable hardship during her childhood, including being raped at the age of nine and becoming pregnant at 14; her son died in infancy. Sent to live with the man she calls her father, a barber in Tennessee, Winfrey landed a job in radio while still in high school and began co-anchoring the local evening news at the age of 19. Her emotional ad-lib delivery eventually got her transferred to the daytime talk show arena, and after boosting a third-rated local Chicago talk show to first place she launched her own production company and became internationally syndicated.

Credited with creating a more intimate confessional form of media communication, she is thought to have popularized and revolutionized the tabloid talk show genre pioneered by Phil Donahue, which a Yale study claims broke 20th century taboos and allowed LGBT people to enter the mainstream. By the mid 1990s, she had reinvented her show with a focus on literature, self-improvement, and spirituality. Though criticized for unleashing confession culture and promoting controversial self-help aids, she is often praised for overcoming adversity to become a benefactor to others. From 2006 to 2008, her support of Barack Obama, by one estimate, delivered over a million votes in the close 2008 Democratic primary race. Source

Lindsay Lohan Pleads Not Guilty To Theft Charge

2011-02-09T14:36:00.000-08:00

LOS ANGELES – Lindsay Lohan pleaded not guilty Wednesday to felony grand theft of a $2,500 necklace jewelry from a store that reported the necklace missing — a case that could return the troubled star to jail rather than bag to the big screen.

She entered the plea through her attorney Shawn Chapman Holley.

Superior Court Judge Keith Schwartz set bail at $40,000. He said it appeared Lohan had violated her probation in a 2007 drunken driving case and warned that if she violated the law while free on bail he would have her arrested and held.

The "Mean Girls" star was met by a swarm of photographers when she arrived at the courthouse in a white dress and sunglasses.

Prosecutors claim the 24-year-old starlet took the necklace in January.

If convicted of the theft charge, Lohan could face up to three years in state prison.

Schwartz ordered Lohan not to have any contact with the jewelry store that reported the necklace missing. The order came after Meyers said that someone sent the store flowers on Lohan's behalf after police started their investigation.

The threat of incarceration has hung over Lohan since May, when a judge handling her DUI case determined she violated her probation by missing weekly alcohol education classes.

Aguilera Repeats Line In The National Anthem

2011-02-06T17:17:00.000-08:00

ARLINGTON, Texas – Christina Aguilera flubbed a line as she belted out the national anthem at the start of the Super Bowl Sunday night.
When she was supposed to sing the line "O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming," she instead repeated an earlier line, with a slight variation.
She sang "What so proudly we watched at the twilight's last gleaming," which is the same line from earlier in the song but with the word `watched' instead of the word `hailed.'
The mistake immediately set social networks abuzz with people commenting on the error.
Aguilera's representative did not immediately return a call and e-mail seeking comment.
She's not the first person to mess up the lines of "The Star-Spangled Banner." In 2001, Macy Gray was famously booed for her off-kilter rendition of the national anthem.
She garbled the words at the Pro Football Hall of Fame exhibition game in Canton, Ohio, her home state. She later told The Associated Press: "That was definitely life's most embarrassing moment."AP
