Hollywood's Grand Dame of Gossip and Style
Oprah has been “dreaming” about getting O.J. Simpson to confess to killing Nicole Brown. She went as far as to promise fans at a cable convention that she was going to “make it happen.”
After that promise, a rumor started that O.J. has already confessed to Oprah and team Harpo has nabbed a jailhouse interview to confirm his admission. The Daily Mail ran with National Enquirer’s story about Simpson’s admission that he killed Nicole “in self defense” after she allegedly pulled a knife on him.
As if anyone could really replace the Mighty Oprah Winfrey, it appears someone, somewhere thinks that Rosie O’Donnell can replace her.
O’Donnell, once the queen of daytime talk herself, is set to resume the daytime spotlight once Oprah bows out later this year. O’Donnell will base her one-hour long talk show from Oprah’s vacated Harpo Studio in Chicago.
Via The Toronto Sun:
“Harpo is a world class studio and I can’t wait to do my show from Chicago,” O’Donnell said in a statement. “It’s a dream come true.”
O’Donnell currently hosts a two-hour radio program on Sirius XM radio called ‘Rosie Radio,’ which she began shortly after her brief stint on the talk show, ‘The View.’
How does Oprah feel about O’Donnell moving in?
“I’m delighted to welcome Rosie to the studio I’ve called home for so many years. Speaking from experience, she will be working with the best team in television in one of the greatest cities in the world.”
Harpo (yes, that is Oprah backwards) also produces the Dr. Oz Show, The Dr. Phil Show, and The Rachel Ray Show.

After 25 years on the air, Oprah will announce tomorrow that she will NOT renew her contract and her talk show will end on September 9, 2011.
She reportedly told staff Thursday afternoon that this will be the last her talk show so she can focus on her new network.
Back in January of 2008, Oprah announced she was launching OWN – The Oprah Winfrey Network. It was widely expected that the TV talk queen would stop doing her syndicated program in September 2011 to focus on the cable network. Sources said that the Oprah Winfrey Show would not move to OWN.
If Oprah does indeed retire her show another matter of who or what will take her place will be buzzing around soon. Ellen DeGeneres will certainly have a corner on the market.
UPDATE:
Tim Bennett, president of HARPO, has CONFIRMED that Oprah will be making the announcement tomorrow that the show will end in 2011.
“Tomorrow, Oprah will announce live on ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show’ that she has decided to end what is arguably one of the most popular, influential and enduring programs in television history. The sun will set on the “Oprah” show as its 25th season draws to a close on September 9, 2011.”
Yours truly will be hiding in a bomb shelter and living on vodka and Kashi for the next few days until the shrieks of homemakers every where turn to gentle sobs.
