Oprah Winfrey has a very tight-knit inner circle and she previously said that she only has a few close friends.
The 67-year-old talk show host said in an October 2021 interview that she only has three close friends and she discussed her connections with them.
“I don’t have a lot of friends,” Oprah admitted during her appearance on the Making Space with Hoda Kotb podcast.
“I never really expanded that circle until recently,” she added. “You know, I had become friends with a couple of people in my later adult life in the past five years.”

Prince Harry has been publicly critical of the paparazzi for years. However, the Duke of Sussex appears to have been photographed more now as a U.S. resident alongside his wife, Meghan Markle, than he ever was in the United Kingdom. A commentator believes Harry’s embracing the spotlight even more now that their $100M contract with Netflix requires them to do so.
Prince Harry once said paparazzi ‘make my blood boil’: is this still true?
In a column for News.com.au, royal commentator Daniela Elser asks, “Of the two princes [William and Harry], one of whom bailed on Blighty because of his and his wife’s treatment at the hands of the swinish UK press, guess which one has been trailed all over Palm Beach Florida by photographers?” Elser revealed its Prince Harry, filming scenes in Florida for his and Meghan Markle’s Netflix polo-themed nonfiction series.

After Prince Harry and Meghan Markle chose to step down from royal duties and move to America, the public learned that the Duchess of Sussex and the Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton) never had a good relationship.
There’s the disputed story of who made who cry during a bridesmaid dress fitting, which Harry also wrote about in his memoir Spare. And what Meghan said in her Netflix docuseries about Kate not wanting to hug when they first met, and the duchess’s admission to Oprah Winfrey that photos of her and her sister-in-law laughing and smiling together were just for the cameras.
We never have and will never hear Kate’s side of the story, but there was a glimpse of how uncomfortable the princess felt to even be in the same place as Meghan when the Sussexes returned to the U.K. for Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee.

Television personality Oprah Winfrey says that she has never been to a therapist and turns to her friend and personality, Gayle King, for “real therapy”.
Winfrey said: “I’ve never been to a therapist because I had so many on the show, but my real therapy came from downloading whatever was happening in the day with Gayle every night.”
The personality and King supported each other throughout the early years of their careers, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
The TV icon told people.com: “There wasn’t a day that we missed being on some kind of phone call talking about what had happened in our days.”
Winfrey is now hugely grateful for King’s support.
“I’ve had one of the best friendships anybody could have. And you can only do that when somebody cares as much about your success, your sadness, and your triumphs as you do,” she said.

In her 25 seasons on television, Oprah Winfrey ruled the daytime talk show scene, often allowing guests to open up about difficult subjects and their life issues.
Some of those guests likely felt that being on the couch with Oprah and discussing emotional situations for her show was therapeutic.
Oprah’s popular Chicago-based infotainment and talk show, The Oprah Winfrey Show, ran from September 1986 to May 2011, which meant a lot of guests for Oprah to listen to and emotional situations to navigate.
Throughout those 25 seasons, many therapists also appeared on her longtime show to discuss various topics with Oprah, guests, and audience members.
However, the woman called the Queen of All Media recently admitted she’s “never been to a therapist” herself.
Instead, she said her “real therapy” came from her best friend, Gayle King.

Celebrities and influencers could help Meghan Markle make American Riviera Orchard, her new lifestyle brand, a big success. An entertainment expert says the Duchess of Sussex, 42, could even see some of her products “go viral and sell out” because of it. Spoiler: Meghan’s done something similar before.
Getting celebrities and influencers involved will make American Riviera Orchard financially ‘worthwhile’ for Meghan
Meghan hasn’t officially launched — or even formally unveiled — any American Riviera Orchard products she plans to make available, but when the items do go public, she’d be wise to turn to celebrities and influencers, Mark Boardman, an entertainment expert, told Newsweek.
“The trademarked brand could see runaway success with items that consumers believe that Meghan uses,” the MarkMeets founder said. “From a PR perspective, I believe that sending out items to celebrities and influencers could make the brand go viral and sell out some lines, thus...

Oprah Winfrey is one of the stars who’s getting candid about weight loss drugs.
The Ozempic trend has exploded worldwide, in Hollywood and beyond. The once-a-week injectable medicine was created to help adults with type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar, but is also known for its weight loss effects, which some celebrities are using for that reason…and only that reason.
Despite Ozempic (and similar drugs) becoming a tool for weight loss, one plastic surgeon told Us Weekly in March 2023 that it was never meant for people who are near their ideal weight, and that “it’s not even approved by the Fda for casual weight loss.”
Regardless, some stars have once and/or still take Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy and others for weight loss. Others have spoken out when accused of taking the drugs. With that in mind, we’re looking at celebrities who’ve denied and admitted to...

After impressing the industry with his 2018 debut “The Burial of Kojo,” helming episodes of Ava DuVernay’s “Cherish the Day” and working with Beyoncé on her feature-length visual album “Black Is King,” Bazawule made his major studio debut with 2023’s “The Color Purple.”

British royal family news reveals that Prince Harry is being called out for his verbal attacks on Princess Kate, the “sister” he never had. And it’s about time.
If you haven’t read his trashy memoir, Spare, Harry took it upon himself to blast Kate, just as his wife Meghan Markle did during their cheap 2021 Oprah Winfrey interview.
The world is in awe of how Kate is handling her cancer battle and one royal expert thinks Harry must be feeling like a donkey right about now.

Following abdominal surgery and weeks of speculation about her health, the Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton) made a heartbreaking announcement revealing her cancer diagnosis and that she has started “preventative chemotherapy.”
The news not only shocked royal fans all over the world but was also a surprise to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who reportedly found out the same way and the same time the rest of the public did on March 22. The duke and duchess later released a brief statement that read: “We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace.”

Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle were never the closest of friends, but it might not be any fault of their own. Kate and Meghan’s husbands, Prince William and Prince Harry, have been in a feud since pretty much the time Meghan and Harry began dating. As a result, it might have prevented Meghan and Kate from having any sort of meaningful relationship.
But Meghan recently made a sweet gesture toward the Princess of Wales when she hid her own charitable engagement so as not to overshadow Kate.

Raven-Symoné is clarifying a headline-making comment she made in 2014.
On Tuesday, the former Disney Channel star shared a new episode of her podcast Tea Time With Raven and Miranda, in which she recalled receiving hate a decade ago for telling Oprah Winfrey that she doesn’t consider herself to be “African American.”
“A lot of people on the internet thought I said that I wasn’t Black, and I never said that,” the former child star told her co-host and wife, Miranda Maday.
When asked by Maday what she meant, the That’s So Raven alum said, “When I say that ‘African-American’ doesn’t align with me, that label, it doesn’t mean that I’m negating my Blackness or I’m not Black. It means I am from this country. I was born here.”
She continued, “I understand my history. I understand where my ancestors come from. I also understand how much blood,...

The glamorous (and handsomely paid) actors and actresses who bring our favorite films and TV shows to life often captivate us, but let us not forget that the real heroes are the artistic wizards behind the camera: the directors. They are in charge of choosing the ideal cast and setting the overall direction of the production, which includes what you see on screen.
Christopher Nolan, the genius behind Inception and Interstellar, and James Cameron, the maestro of Terminator to Titanic who maintained the excitement for Avatar 2 in 2022, more than ten years after the first film’s release, are two auteurs who established their careers through writing and directing in their own iconic styles.

The show occasionally has musical guests or cooking segments like Joy Behar and her lasagna. These are nice breaks between the heavy politics that are the mainstay.
One segment has fans tuning out as soon as it comes on, which is unfortunate for the popular talk show.

It’s official: Taylor Swift is very, very rich.
The ‘Eras Tour’ singer-songwriter has joined the Forbes World’s Billionaires list, one of 14 celebrities who, according to the magazine, are worth a collective $31 billion. Swift’s achievement is all the more noteworthy, Forbes says, because last October she accomplished “a feat no other musician had before: she became a billionaire strictly off of earnings from her music and performances.”
Also on the list: Dick Wolf, Rihanna, Tyler Perry, Peter Jackson and Oprah Winfrey, among others. Take a look below, along with Forbes’ descriptions..
George Lucas
Net Worth: $5.5 Billion | Age: 79 | Citizenship: U.S.
The Star Wars director, who debuted as a billionaire in 1997, is the richest celebrity thanks in large part to his production company LucasFilm, which he sold to Disney in 2012 for more than $4 billion in cash and stock. Steven Spielberg

In Irish Wish, a new Netflix rom-com, a bride-to-be is dumped by her lover on wedding day — but, with steely determination, she quickly closes in on a handsome replacement. Consistent with rom-com protocol, her “Irish wish” is realized.
Going back to When Harry Met Sally…, there’s always been something cozy and likable about the rom-com genre. No Hard Feelings starring Jennifer Lawrence did well last year as a feature and now is up for a sequel.
And Anyone but You has surprised rom-com experts. Its numbers are impressive – 2.8 billion hashtag views on TikTok and a worldwide box office that has surpassed $200 million. The data reminds some of a throwback to the Bridget Jones cycle.
To be sure, rom-coms have become formulaic, especially the Netflix model. But a case could be made that they now emerge as a positive social resource now.
“The Gen Z-ers need prods of positivity,” observes one psychologist.

In Oprah Winfrey’s newest television special Shame, Blame, and the Weight Loss Revolution, the celebrated television host tells the crowd that when she got over the excitement of first appearing on the cover of TV Guide, she noticed a demeaning headline referencing her weight. “Bumpy, lumpy, and downright dumpy,” the magazine read. That sentiment would be echoed in the hateful and rude treatment, Winfrey said, that has followed her throughout her career.
“I took on the shame that the world gave to me,” Winfrey, 70, said in her newest special.

Whoopi Goldberg revealed Tuesday she used weight loss drug Mounjaro after weighing around 300 pounds when filming Till, which she starred in and produced. Goldberg joins a growing list of celebrities to speak openly about obesity drugs amid Oprah Winfrey’s ABC special which aired Monday.
Upon the film’s release in 2022, Goldberg took a moment to respond to a reporter’s claim she wore a fat suit to play the role. “I don’t really care how you felt about the movie,” she said at the time, “but you should know that was not a fat suit, that was me. That was steroids.”
While filming the movie, in which she portrayed Emmett Till’s grandmother Alma Carthan, Goldberg suffered a near-fatal health scare that involved double pneumonia and sepsis.
“I had taken all those steroids, I was on all this stuff,” Goldberg said on The View this week, recounting the incident.

The pervasive belief that weight loss injectables are simply vanity drugs, fueled by its widespread use among celebrities and social media personalities, was addressed head on in a follow-up segment to Monday night’s An Oprah Special: Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution now streaming on Hulu.
“It’s really important for us to understand responsible use and understand where these drugs are indicated, because we’re all on social media. You’ll hear type II diabetics, for example, say, ‘I can’t get my Ozempic because people just want to lose weight and it’s vanity,’ we know that that’s misinformation,” said Negelle Morris, a senior vice president for Novo Nordisk, which manufactures weight loss drugs Ozempic and Wegovy. “We do really advocate for appropriate use as they’re indicated.”

With Oprah Winfrey’s revelations about her use of a weight loss medication to help her lose weight, it makes perfect sense for The View to cover the topic.
Oprah made news recently because she resigned from the Weight Watchers board to do a special about her weight loss story.
As Whoopi Goldberg introduced the topic, the ladies made some startling revelations about weight loss and who on the panel has been on these medications.
Whoopi shared her story about Mounjaro’s use after she hit a weight of 300 pounds at one point. Mounjaro is a diabetic/weight loss medication similar to Ozempic.
This opened the door for Sunny Hostin to make a significant admission.
Sunny has been vocal about not caring what the “trolls” have had to say about her age or her looks, but her revelations about weight loss drugs seem to go against these claims.

At this year’s 35th GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles, talk show host Oprah Winfrey opened up about her late brother, Jeffrey Lee, while onstage.
Winfrey received the Vanguard Award, which honors allies of the LGBTQ who have advocated for people and issues regarding the community. Lee, who died at age 29 due to AIDS, was Winfrey’s inspiration for her work.
“Growing up at the time we did, in the community we did, we didn’t have the language to understand or speak about sexuality and gender in the way we do now,” she revealed. “And at the time, I didn’t know how deeply my brother internalized the shame that he felt about being gay. I wish he could have lived to witness these liberated times and to be here with me tonight.”

Whoopi Goldberg and Sunny Hostin have joined Oprah Winfrey in speaking out about using weight loss medications, with Goldberg saying she made the decision after hitting almost 300 pounds during the filming of the 2022 film Till.
“I weighed almost 300 pounds when I was made Till,” Goldberg said during the Hot Topics segment of today’s The View on ABC.
See video below.
Goldberg had suffered severe back pain in 2021 and was treated with steroids as part of her recovery, leading to weight gain. Goldberg starred in the 2022 film Till, about the murder of Emmett Till.
“I had taken all those steroids and was on all this stuff,” she said today, “and one of the things that helps me drop the weight is Mounjaro.” (Mounjaro is a prescription weight loss medication similar to Ozempic.)
Goldberg later said she hadn’t previously noticed her weight gain. “I just always felt like me, and...

Dwayne Johnson is one of the biggest stars in Hollywood at present. He found success as a professional wrestler before he ventured into the world of acting and, subsequently, business. Given his fame, Johnson is often invited to talk shows, and he made an appearance on Drew Barrymore’s show recently.
The interview with the Black Adam actor was a riot, as the two stars discussed a variety of subjects. One moment between them stood out, though, when Johnson asked for Barrymore’s consent before a particular act, and it has endeared the Rock to his fans even more.

For decades, there have been studies and conversations regarding the perils of obesity, and though being overweight doesn’t inherently make someone unhealthy, it can cause severe medical issues. While those who struggle with excess weight are often told to eat fewer calories and exercise daily, millions of people are still categorized as obese. Now, in “An Oprah Special: Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution,” Oprah Winfrey is addressing obesity as a disease, the revolutionary medications being used to combat food noise, exiting the WeightWatchers board of directors and giving viewers a glimpse into her personal weight struggles and experiences with prescription weight loss medications.
Whether someone has had trouble maintaining a healthy weight or not, there has been no avoiding the recent discussions around medications like Ozempic, Mounjaro and Wegovy. However, because so many people get their information second-hand from social media apps, misinformation and distrust have also spread far and wide.

Oprah Winfrey is one of the most prominent stars speaking out about weight loss drugs.
The Ozempic trend has exploded worldwide, in Hollywood and beyond. The once-a-week injectable medicine was created to help adults with type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar, but is also known for its weight loss effects, which some celebrities are using for that reason…and only that reason.
Despite Ozempic (and similar drugs) becoming a tool for weight loss, one plastic surgeon told Us Weekly in March 2023 that it was never meant for people who are near their ideal weight, and that “it’s not even approved by the Fda for casual weight loss.”
Regardless, some stars have once and/or still take Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy and others for weight loss. Others have spoken out when accused of taking the drugs. With that in mind, we’re looking at celebrities who’ve denied and admitted to...

The Bachelor viewers might be confused if they try to tune in at the usual time tonight.
A big audience is expected for this upcoming episode, which is likely why there has been a change in the schedule.
After all, The Bachelor viewers are clamoring for the Women Tell All, and we expect big fireworks for this special episode.
When the women come back to confront Joey and each other, we’re looking for answers.
The biggest question being why Sydney latched on to Maria and pushed so hard for her to go home all season.
And why did Lea and Jess step into that role after Sydney went home? Hopefully, we’ll learn more about why they all hated Maria so much.
We also want to know if Lexi regrets going home.
It was also teased that some of The Golden Bachelor cast were in Los Angeles at the...

At this year’s NAACP Awards, Usher proved that 2024 is his year. The entertainer, who played the Super Bowl halftime show just last month, took home top honors at the ceremony. He even walked into the ceremony at the Shrine Auditorium on a high note, having picked up awards for Outstanding Male Artist and Outstanding Soul/R&b song in pre-telecast presentations.
His success continued throughout the ceremony, where Oprah Winfrey presented him with the Entertainer of the Year Award. He beat out Halle Bailey, Fantasia Barrino, Coleman Domingo, and Keke Palmer for the prize.
“I guess all great things start from Oprah Winfrey. When I was a kid, I made my start on your show,” Usher said, per BET. “I want to thank each and every person who believed in me.”
