Oprah Winfrey: TV Guide News

Do Sheen and Heigl Deserve TV's Biggest Bucks? | Today's News: Our Take | 7/23/2008
A new survey by Forbes Magazine names Charlie Sheen and Katherine Heigl as TV's best-paid actors. The Two and a Half Men cut-up earned $20 million in 2007, while Heigl pulled in $13 mil for her rotation on Grey's Anatomy. (It would seem the quality of her boss' paychecks was up to snuff, yes.)Of course, that's all parking valet tip money compared to what their counterparts in the movie biz are taking home. Will Smith was the big screen's biggest earner for the year, depositing $80 million into his bank account. Among the men, he was followed by Johnny Depp (a bargain at $72 mil) and Eddie Murphy (overpriced at $55 mil). Cameron Diaz was Hollywood's best-paid actress for 2007, earning $50 mil. Keira Knightley placed No. 2 with $32 mil, followed by Jennifer Aniston ($27 mil).In the category of "media personalities," Oprah of course dominated, raking in $275 million for the year. What's your take? Who delivers the best value for the greenbacks? — Matt Mitovich read more
Gayle Grills Rachael Ray about Oprah Feud | Today's Top Videos | 5/14/2008
Gayle King may have been a guest on Rachael Ray's show to promote a new cook book, but that didn't stop her from seizing the opportunity to ask the annoyingly perky morning show host if the rumors about Rachel saying nasty things behind her old pal Oprah's back were true. Rachael, of course, claimed it was all tabloid lies. Come on O, if you really wanted to know, you shoulda asked Rachel yourself – no need to send your BFF to do your dirty work! read more
O, No! Winfrey Takes Away Her Big Give | Today's News: Our Take | 5/13/2008
Oprah's Big Give won't be returning to ABC's lineup this fall.The show — where Oprah gives do-gooders lots of money to help strangers' dreams come true — was a favorite of the network, despite its ending after just one season. "We loved that show and absolutely would have loved to bring it back," ABC entertainment president Steve McPherson said. "But it was something (Oprah) didn't want to do." — J.R.

Babs Admits to Affair With Married Politician! | Today's Top Videos | 5/7/2008
Yesterday, the infamous Barbara Walters appeared on Oprah to reveal some of her innermost secrets that she's written about in her new tell-all memoir. And one doozy (beyond the Star Jones/Rosie drama) she divulged was her secret love affair of two years with the U.S. Senate's first-ever African-American member thirty years ago. Whatever you do, don't make the same mistake Oprah did by calling this independent woman a "mistress" because that didn't go over well at all. Perhaps Babs would have preferred the term "lady friend." Or how about "extramarital activist"? "Concubine"? read more
Oprah Visits Tom Cruise's Colorado Home | Today's Top Videos | 5/5/2008
After all the hype of his reunion with the Big O, Part 1 of Tom Cruise's appearance on Oprah last Friday was a bit bland for our taste. Minus his amazing house and sick view (oh, and Oprah's personalized booties), the whole thing was pretty contrived, if you ask us. Perhaps sitting on the infamous couch today for the second half of the interview will breathe some life into Tommy boy.Watch the full interview now! read more
