The “Mo’Nique Was Blackballed After Winning an Oscar For Precious” narrative has been an ongoing part of popular culture for just over three years. It began when the actress told The Hollywood Reporter that the film’s director, Lee Daniels, and producers, Tyler Perry and Oprah, were responsible for an industry-wide…
For most people (my mom and the Lifetime channel) royal wedding frenzy is about living a vicarious Cinderella dream or whatever; for me, it is the dream that somewhere, someday, maybe I, too, can strap a lily pad on my head. Few occasions exist on American soil in which hats, much less fascinators, are legitimate…
What’s wrong with this photo of Issa Rae, Kate McKinnon, and Sarah Silverman on this year’s cover of GQ’s comedy issue? Absolutely nothing: They’re gorgeous and stunning, powerful and collected, and they have multiple arms and legs.
In an interview with Oprah Winfrey on her show Super Soul Conversations that aired Wednesday night, Amy Schumer discussed being sexually assaulted by her boyfriend when she was a teenager. Though Schumer has mentioned the experience in the past—even in her standup—this is the first time she’s done so in detail.
If you imagine being a rich celebrity is just hobnobbing with other rich and celebrity-adjacent people, you’re right on the money that you probably don’t have. When they’re not giving each other awards, the famous are partying. Here’s the hard part: whose party do you go to? Decisions!
On Thursday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Oprah Winfrey looked straight into the camera and announced, “I am definitely not running for president.” She was briefly (and jokingly?) booed. So much for our nation’s hopes and dreams.
People have finally stopped asking Oprah if she will run for president in 2020, so Donald Trump felt safe to challenge her as a future non-candidate.
Oprah was profiled in this month’s issue of WSJ Magazine, and beyond the writer’s overwhelmingly enthusiastic tone (just look at the cover), the piece includes several quotes from her friends and Wrinkle In Time creative partners Reese Witherspoon and Ava Duvernay. Even pollster Frank Luntz, her new colleague at 60…
Oprah has said that she has no intention of running for president. Why would she, when she’s already Oprah? Donald Trump probably wishes he had powerful-yet-chilled out lifestyle that she lives on a daily basis.
It’s hard to maintain such a feverish pitch of excitement for A Wrinkle In Time for so long, but here is another boost in the form of a perfect magazine cover for Essence.
This morning, CBS broadcast a star-filled “Time’s Up” panel Oprah hosted on the day after she gave the rousing Golden Globes “Time’s Up” speech which repeatedly hit the phrase “time’s up” in its crescendos. The panel included famed Time’s Up members Reese Witherspoon, Shonda Rhimes, America Ferrera, Natalie Portman,…
Keeping in mind that low-res photos posted on the internet out of context with ALL CAPS meme overlays are generally unreliable sources of news or information, WOAH these photos don’t look good. After Oprah’s Golden Globes “Time’s Up” speech rallied an informal #Oprah2020 caucus on Twitter, Seal posted images of Oprah…
Why won’t Ivanka Trump stop sharing opinions so obviously antithetical to her actual beliefs? I don’t know, but she’s at it again, this time praising Oprah’s show-stopper of a speech delivered at last night’s Golden Globes.
Despite the black gowns and the surprisingly few speeches that recognized sexual assault in Hollywood, the 75th Golden Globes felt like it could have been happening any other year. That was until Oprah Winfrey stepped up to accept the Golden Globe’s Cecil B. DeMille Award, the first black woman to do so, and gave a…
Oprah has sold the majority of the Oprah Winfrey Network to Discovery Communications for $70 million, meaning the media company now has 75 percent ownership over the six-year-old brand. Maybe it was just time, but maybe there’s another reason. Stick with me on this one.
The CGI gods are working overtime in the new trailer for A Wrinkle in Time, but amid the swelling orchestral music and panicked glances from a lost Chris Pine, it’s impossible not to notice how fuckin’ cool the outfits are. Come, take my hand as I guide you through a fifth dimension some screen grabs of Oprah and co.,…
Speaking to reporters at the second series finale party for the wonderful Queen Sugar, Oprah shared one very simple method she uses for insuring that her sets are free of harassment: being picky.
As though America has not been waiting on this bombshell for weeks, TMZ just casually dropped this line, as fact, into a report that Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber spent the majority of yesterday together at church:
Oprah made her debut as a special contributor for CBS’ 60 Minutes on Sunday night, traveling to Michigan to interview 14 voters—half who voted for Trump, half who did not—to ask how they think our current president is doing. It’s all upsetting.
Celebrities have been making large donations from their personal funds to aid survivors of Hurricane Harvey in Houston. Now they’re planning to donate their time in a classic multi-network telethon.
