PRINCE HARRY OWES OPRAH A BIG FAVOR!

It’s Oprah Winfrey to the rescue! Prince Harry is headed to London for his father, King Charles’ coronation, but the spare royal isn’t planning to stick around. An insider reveals that Harry was having trouble finding commercial flights that worked with his desired schedule, so his good pal and Montecito, California neighbor Oprah offered him her private jet! Now Harry plans to leave just in time to make the coronation and he’ll return hours after his dad is officially crowned King to celebrate his son’s birthday. The insider says it Harry’s entire round trip including travel time will be less than 72 hours!

Facebook Jada Pinkett Smith Oprah Red Table Talk

JADA PINKETT SMITH INTENDS TO KEEP RED TABLE TALK ON THE AIR

Jada Pinkett Smith is heartbroken that her popular online series, Red Table Talk, was booted and she’s hoping Oprah Winfrey can be her savior. Her show was a hit, but Facebook Watch decided to shut down their entire division of programming. Ideally, Jada would love to have Oprah pick up the show for her network, OWN. She has already reached out to Oprah and the two are planning to meet for lunch in Montecito, where Oprah lives, to discuss working together.

Birthday Extravagant Oprah

OPRAH’S OVER-THE-TOP BIRTHDAY PLANS

It’s almost a year away but Oprah Winfrey has alerted her friends to save the date or actually a whole week next January. Oprah’s turning 70 next January 29 and she’s continuing her tradition of hosting an extravagant birthday soirée every 10 years. Her last blowout bash was when she turned 60, and for 70, she’s planning to outdo herself. She hasn’t decided on the locale, but she already mailed her friends fancy save-the-date cards to give them enough time to plan their schedules accordingly. She’s working with a party planner and possible venues include a cruise, Hawaii, Bora Bora or Africa.(!) Generous Oprah will pick up the tab for EVERYTHING, including transportation, accommodations, food and festivities. We’re DYING to know who’s on that guest list…

Meghan Markle Oprah Talk Show

OPRAH HAS PLANS FOR MEGHAN MARKLE

They are neighbors and friends, and Oprah Winfrey has big plans for Meghan Markle – she’s mentoring her to become a talk show host. Before retiring, Oprah was the undisputed queen of daytime talk TV and she thinks Meghan has what it takes to fill her shoes. The women hit it off when Oprah interviewed Meg and Prince Harry for that top rated TV special, and they became closer living minutes away from one another in Montecito, California. As their friendship blossomed, so did Oprah’s admiration and she’s planning to anoint Meghan as the “future of daytime talk TV.” As we already told you, Meghan is eager to resume her acting career, but she’s also quite intrigued by Oprah’s idea. Oprah’s been quietly giving her lessons on what it takes to be a great interviewer and Meghan is all ears.

Dr Phil Oprah We Told Ya So!

DR PHIL: WE TOLD YA SO!

Back in December , we told you that Oprah’s “discovery” Dr Phil, was secretly planning to run for office like Oprah’s other friend Dr Oz. He recently announced “I’m moving on from daytime” and leaving his show after 21 seasons. YOU know where he’s going!

WHAT has Oprah unleashed upon us! First, Dr Oz ran for the U.S. Senate and we were afraid he might get elected simply because Oprah made him such a well-known celebrity. Turns out, she didn’t agree with him politically, and he was not elected. Now Oprah’s OTHER protege, Dr Phil, is secretly gearing up to run for the Senate also! But not in his home state Texas, where Ted Cruz will run for re-election. Dr Phil’s plan is to buy a home in the state where he feels he has the best chance of winning, and become a candidate there. Oprah doesn’t see eye to eye with Dr Phil politically either, so don’t expect to see her on the campaign trail. Can he get elected without her?

Missing in Action Oprah Stedman Graham

WHERE IN THE WORLD IS STEDMAN?

Where’s Stedman? Some of Oprah’s friends are wondering where her longtime partner Stedman Graham has been since he hasn’t been spending as much time in Montecito where he usually lives with Oprah. Stedman still travels the globe for work, but even so he’s usually seen around town, especially at his favorite gourmet food store just blocks from Oprah’s compound. He hasn’t been seen around lately and friends are wondering if all is okay with him or his longtime romance with Oprah. He was even MIA at a recent holiday party Oprah hosted.

Father Half-sister Meghan Markle Oprah Tabloids

MEGHAN MARKLE: WHO NEEDS ENEMIES WHEN YOU HAVE RELATIVES LIKE THIS?

It’s bad enough that Meghan Markle had the UK tabloid press tearing her to pieces, but she also has two of her own family members earning money by saying negative things about her. The fact that the Royals courted the press but did NOTHING to stop papers from writing awful things about Meghan is shocking. It’s understandable that Meghan was hurt and disappointed. On top of that daily tabloid tirade, she had to endure nasty remarks by her own father and 16 years older half-sister. The half sister Samantha (who has reverted back to her original last name of Markle since Meghan married into the Royal family) admits she hasn’t seen Meghan in years and barely knows her, yet she can’t stop talking bad about her. As soon as Samantha realized she could make MONEY selling interviews, she become a talkative “expert” on Meghan’s character, and encouraged her father to do the same. Why journalists like Piers Morgan have been so cruel to Meghan is unthinkable- people who have worked with and known Meghan over the years have nothing but nice things to say about her. We hope she makes a wonderful life for herself in California. And THANK YOU, Oprah!

Covid-19 Dogs Isolation Oprah

IS OPRAH TAKING ISOLATION TOO FAR?

Okay, we can understand Oprah being extremely careful and isolating her boyfriend Stedman Graham to the guesthouse for two weeks after his European trip. After all, Oprah has been sick with pneumonia recently and still has discomfort. But we have to seriously question her decision to isolate her cocker spaniel Sadie after a trip to the vet. Wouldn’t a sudsy bath have been ENOUGH to clean up the poor pup? There are no known cases of a human catching Covid-19 from a pet. (Most people would rather isolate their spouse than the family dog!) Oprah is setting a weird precedent – at least we can assume Sadie is being waited on hand and foot by Oprah’s employees.

Donald Trump Oprah Politics

OPRAH AND DONALD TRUMP HAVE HISTORY TOGETHER

The Hollywood Reporter dug up an interesting tidbit about Oprah and Donald Trump. (If you thought the idea of Oprah Winfrey being friendly at one time with Harvey Weinstein was surprising – this is another jolt.) Donald Trump appeared on her talk show in 1988 and Oprah quizzed him about full page newspaper ads he’d taken out to protest US foreign policy. Trump said he was tired of the country being ripped off and Oprah brought up the idea of Trump running for office. Forward to 1999 when Trump was on The Larry King Show – he toyed with the idea of running for president. When Larry asked him who he’d like for Vice President, Trump replied “Oprah – I love Oprah – she’d be my first choice.”
