I have seen the Oprah shows on TV.
Why is she such a celebrity?
Barkha Dutt tries to copy her style of asking questions and compare the show!

Oprah gives away lots of stuff to the studio audience of her TV show. That must be good for ratings.
Quote from article:
She was among the biggest crowd pullers at the annual Jaipur Literary Festival, which brings together top writers, poets and critics and around 50,000 literary fans from around the world.
Very disturbing.

If it were not racist, unkind, and offensive, I would call Oprah Winfrey Darkey Butt.

I think because as she said, she connects directly to the heart of the people. Although, I know that anything that you can hype in this world, automatically becomes salable, yet it seems there is something more to her.

Scorned lady saves Newt
- Furious response to ex-wife charge pays dividend
Washington, Jan. 22: Newt Gingrich last night proved the truth in the saying that “behind every successful man is a woman”. But it was the wrong woman who propelled him to unexpected victory in South Carolina’s critical Republican primary for the November US presidential election.
Gingrich, a conservative former Speaker of the US House of Representatives, is not unfairly portrayed by his political rivals as having been serially unfaithful to his multiple wives. They also call him a hypocrite because he was leading the campaign as Speaker for impeaching President Bill Clinton for his extra-marital relations with White House intern Monica Lewinsky even as Gingrich was having an illicit affair with his current wife, Callista, when she was a Congressional aide....... Scorned lady saves Newt It is news since the Americans are rather sensitive about 'family values'.

It is news since the Americans are rather sensitive about 'family values'. That is what the political pundits tell us. My older son has started watching a series on SHO called "Shameless." I can't watch it. It is despicable.

New LEGO girls' line is offensive, some say - latimes.com
Bye bye DFI

That was an excellent play of words

Is there anybody we will not offend? Jay Leno Sued -- NBC Lawsuit Over Mitt Romney Joke
Jay Leno thought he was poking gentle fun at the lifestyles of rich and famous Republican presidential candidates — Mitt Romney in particular. But last Thursday when Leno’s slide show came to a location cited as Mitt Romney’s summer home — in reality an image of the Sikh holy shrine Golden Temple in Amritsar, India — it sparked a diplomatic incident. And now, a lawsuit charging Leno and NBC with libel.

Hehe, whilst I generally get the joke and not the aftereffects, I find it stupid that they don't bother double checking some of the material for cultural sensitivity. Especially here - I mean, ANY huge structure would have worked, but for whatever reason, they thought this would be funnier, but they should have got a Sikh (or two or three, its not like there is a shortage of them) to sign off on it.
But Americans are not alone!

Yeah, she gave EVERYONE IN THE AUDIENCE A CAR ONCE IN HER CHRISTMAS SHOW. Yes, a freakin CAR.
