Oprah Winfrey Apologizes For Promoting “Diet Culture”. (Photo Credit – Instagram)
Oprah Winfrey recently reflected on past mistakes that included promoting unsustainable weight loss methods during her time on her popular eponymous talk show. During a three-hour live WeightWatchers special for WeightWatchers on Thursday, May 9, Oprah acknowledged her complicity in promoting unsafe “diet culture” through her talk show and magazines.
The apology comes months after Oprah Winfrey revealed that she had lost 40 pounds using a weight-loss medication Ozempic despite previously calling it an “easy way out.”
In 2012, during an episode of “Oprah Daily’s The Life You Want: The State of Weight,” the talk show host shaded the celebrity weight loss trend Ozempic, saying, “If I take the drug, that’s the easy way out.”

Oprah Winfrey apologized for being a “major contributor” to America’s toxic diet culture. During an event hosted by Weight Watchers on Thursday, Winfrey took responsibility for promoting unhealthy weight loss methods and expressed regret for profiting from diet culture in her shows.
“I have been a steadfast participant in this diet culture. Through my platforms, through the magazine, through the talk show for 25 years and online . . . I’ve been a major contributor to it,” Winfrey stated. “I cannot tell you how many weight-loss shows and makeovers I have done, and they have been a staple since I’ve been working in television.”
“I’ve shared how that famous ‘wagon of fat’ moment on the Oprah show is one of my biggest regrets. It sent a message that starving yourself with a liquid diet, set a standard for people watching that I nor anybody else could uphold,” she said.

British royal family news reveals that Meghan Markle’s latest douche behavior toward her husband Prince Harry and his family could be the nail in her coffin.
Harry will be at an Invictus Games event on May 8, but Meghan has no time for that. Instead she is getting ready for her “Nigerian Princess trip.” Meghan is 43% Nigerian you know.
A source told The Express: “Her conspicuous absence from all his recent trips has been noted. This time she will be missing a key event in Harry’s Invictus diary as well as the opportunity to offer support to her father-in-law.” Tsk, tsk, where do all the memos to Meghan go?

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have received mixed reviews from the public ever since they tied the knot back in 2018. Harry and Meghan stepped back from their roles as senior royals in 2020, and although they have been living a much quieter life in Montecito, the two still are constantly getting press attention — both positive and negative.
Now, Harry and Meghan are at the center of a new German documentary about the royal family and the Sussexes. And while the info within the documentary remains unclear, sources claim the two are not happy about being at the center of someone else’s film.

I guess a lot has happened since Harry and Meghan exited the Royal Family in 2020. We would have liked to live in a world where the Oprah interview didn’t happen, or there wasn’t so much name-calling in “Spare” – “wicked stepmother,” “Nemesis,” etc – or there wasn’t the numerous interviews and of course the snide comments that randomly poked itself out in the “Harry and Meghan” docuseries. But no.
While Harry and Meghan seem to have moved on from royal bashing in recent times, this doesn’t mean the time has come for him and big brother William to bury the hatchet as they say and move on.

Actor Nathan Fillion had just completed his run as Castle when he was cast in The Rookie. But he admitted he sometimes found it hard to leave his Castle character behind when doing the hit ABC series.
Nathan Fillion’s ‘Castle’ habits died hard Nathan Fillion | Nicole Wilder/Getty Images
It might’ve taken a while for Fillion to truly shake off Richard Castle for The Rookie. In the ABC series, Fillion found himself in somewhat familiar territory. Like Castle, The Rookie saw Fillion’s character, John Nolan, solving crimes. So it might’ve been easy to channel Rick Castle from time to time, even after the show’s end.
But personality-wise, Castle and Nolan couldn’t have been any more different. Rick Castle was a mystery writer who tagged along with police officers, many times unwelcomed, for his own amusement at first. The character also didn’t always take...

Meghan Markle never got to meet Princess Diana, but there have been reports over the years that Prince Harry’s wife always looked up to the woman who would one day become her mother-in-law. In fact, Meghan’s closest friend growing up, Ninaki Priddy, insisted that the former Suits star wanted to be the next Princess Diana and wasn’t shocked when Meghan and Prince Harry got engaged. But wanting to be like someone is totally different than believing that person speaks to you from beyond the grave.
Here’s more on the bizarre claim that the duchess told her husband his late mother “spoke to her” just before they attended a major event with the royal family.

Katt Williams, never afraid of being bold, declared maybe his boldest mission yet in Katt Williams: Woke Foke. “I don’t just tell Black secrets,” he warned the crowd at one point during his new Netflix comedy special, which streamed live on May 4 as part of Netflix is a Joke Fest. “I tell white secrets, too. ’Cause we’re all family.”
He meant it. The King of Underground Comedy shared his sharp, pointed observations and lessons in his trademark rapid-fire style. Arriving on stage at the YouTube Theater in Inglewood, California, wearing a custom Woke Foke medallion necklace, he went after just about everyone and everything: why being “woke” itself is hardly bad, (toxic) masculinity, the “Illuminati,” Trump, Biden, Ron DeSantis, Nick Cannon, Jamie Foxx, Oprah, Ozempic — naming names and (literally) showing pictures, at least when he didn’t look desperate to catch a breath between all the curveball punchlines.

Kevin Spacey has fired back at new allegations of sexual harassment and assault set to be heard as part of a Channel 4 documentary, Spacey Unmasked, premiering in the U.K. on May 6-7.
“I’ve got nothing left to hide,” Spacey told former U.K. broadcaster Dan Wootton during a two hour, 20 minutes interview titled Kevin Spacey: Right of Reply, which streamed on X (formerly Twitter).
Having seen off earlier allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior in civil and criminal court cases in the U.S. and the U.K., Spacey said he refused to stand by and stay silent as fresh allegations were made in the Channel 4 documentary. “I can’t go through this again, allowing myself to be basically attacked without defending myself as well,” he told Wootton.

Comedian Katt Williams stirred up a lot of controversy on Club Shay Shay, airing his grievances out on a few veteran comics. Dave Chappelle, however, disagreed with the way Williams called out his contemporaries. And judging by Williams’ recent comments, that may be a topic neither of them will ever see eye-to-eye on.
What Katt Williams had to say about Dave Chappelle’s comments Dave Chappelle | Shannon Finney/Getty Images
Williams went on record to address a handful of comedians he felt slighted him in some way. Two kings of comedy even caught a stray when Williams admonished Steve Harvey and Cedric the Entertainer for stealing his material.
But not everyone thought Williams’ statements were justified. Not too long after Williams’ Club Shay Shay appearance, Chappelle shared his feelings on Williams’ internet-breaking interview during a private standup. Chappelle felt Williams might’ve done more harm than good for comedy with his takes.

John Travolta returned to television in a full-length role after nearly four decades in Ryan Murphy’s The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story. His last TV role was Vinnie Barbarino in Welcome Back, Kotter which lasted from 1975 to 1979. It was not an easy decision to take on the role but Travolta had a personal Hollywood ‘consulting’ team to advise him. This esteemed group of people included Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, Rita Hanks, Oprah Winfrey, and Michael Eisner.

Breaking the long-standing curse of disappointing video game adaptations, Fallout and The Last of Us have now attained a gold-standard status amongst gamers being delivered faithful small-screen versions of games they pour hours into. This comes after years of inaccurate and shoddy live-actions that have left a stain on the industry, and for viewers and gamers alike.

While we’re still waiting for Resident Evil to give us our favorite Backstreet Boy-looking Leon Kennedy in a perfectly adapted series, and debating whether a triangular…chest is indeed peak Lara Croft, there are some games that deserve another go— Not as a game since they continually bombed, but as a TV show, since their stories can be done a lot more justice.
And while Ubisoft has broken our hearts with a terrible Assassin’s Creed adaptation, there is one more game that is now thought to be long dead.

Jokes from Prince Harry could go a long way in his upcoming Netflix series about polo. A royal commentator says the Duke of Sussex’s new show must tread carefully or risk mistakes made by other celebrities. To that end, some humor just might help it strike the “right tone.”
Harry has to ‘get the tone absolutely perfectly right’ on his Netflix polo series
Playing polo in lavish locales can’t be the extent of Harry’s polo series, according to Jack Royston, the host of The Royal Report podcast (via Newsweek).
“I think they need to get the tone absolutely perfectly right,” he said of the show, which Archewell Productions announced on April 11, 2024.
“I don’t think they can just, in 2024, celebrate how exceptionally amazing and god-like these mega-rich polo players are, riding around in the sunshine on horses.”
“It’s great that they raise money for charity,” he added.

Fans have voiced their concerns over Scott Disick’s recent weight loss. The fan reaction has reportedly shaken The Kardashians star into rethinking his alleged use of weight loss drugs.
Rumors have been going around that Disick has been taking Ozempic to lose weight. Ozempic enables weight loss by lowering blood sugar and allowing the pancreas to create more insulin. The hormone levels rise, and your brain believes you are not hungry, slowing digestion. Ozempic is not Fda-approved for weight loss, as it is technically a drug used to aid people with diabetes.
Disick has been having issues with aging and significant weight gain in recent years.
Many celebrities, such as Oprah and Sharon Osborne, have also opened up about their weight loss journeys with Ozempic. Rebel Wilson recently acknowledged that she used Ozempic to lose 80 pounds.
However, there are many side effects to taking Ozempic. The first is called “Ozempic face,...

Sarah Jessica Parker became bigger than even some movie stars after years on the iconic series Sex and the City. But after the HBO franchise ended, Parker assumed her stint doing TV would end as well.
Why Sarah Jessica Parker thought she’d left TV for good Sarah Jessica Parker | Cindy Ord/Getty Images
Parker might’ve had her fill of doing television shows after Sex and the City. The show lasted six years from 1998 to 2004. It could’ve lasted even longer if Parker hadn’t decided to end the show on a high. When asked what she planned on doing after Sex and the City in an interview with Oprah, she didn’t see herself jumping on another show.
“So much of my life lately has been Sex and the City, and now I want more. I want to be a better parent, a better actress—to keep myself challenged and terrified.

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.

Sometimes you just have to put your foot down. There’s a new report that says Queen Camilla is not allowing King Charles to be in a room alone with his son, Prince Harry.
That’s because she’s concerned that the Duke of Sussex will leak private information about his health to the public.
And that’s the last thing the royal family needs to deal with right now. Keep reading below for everything you need to know.
Royal Family News – Queen Camilla Won’t Allow King Charles To See Prince Harry
Queen Camilla won’t allow King Charles to see Prince Harry. At least, she won’t allow to see him when no one else is in the room.
That’s mostly because Harry has proven himself to be a very unreliable person within the royal family.

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...

“Monterossi: Season 2” finds Monterossi (Fabrizio Bentivoglio) still stuck with his producing role on the sleazy talk show he created, “Crazy Love”, that he’s been regretting since it started sliding into lowbrow exploitation. Flora (Carla Signoris), the domineering host, continues to push for the most lurid guests and topics, much to his chagrin. It’s akin to the havoc Dr. Frankenstein unleashed despite his laudable reanimation intentions. Monterossi had hoped for an “Oprah”, only to see his project devolve into a “Jerry Springer”.
The first season was six 45-minute episodes split evenly over two separate mysteries. This one covers one set of crimes in five.
My review of Season One of this charming light crime series from Italian TV, “Monterossi” will bring you up to speed or refresh your memory. This next round again delivers the goods on scripts, performances and settings.

Music mogul Diddy might’ve had his first true love in the late Kim Porter. Although they tried to make their relationship work, Porter eventually felt she had to leave Diddy no matter what.
Kim Porter left Diddy after a 10-year-relationship Diddy and Kim Porter | Dr. Billy Ingram/WireImage
Diddy and Porter had been in an off-and-on relationship for a number of years. They dated in 1994 before breaking up in 1999. At this time, Diddy was in a relationship with Jennifer Lopez, which further caused the rift between himself and Porter. However, Porter was why Diddy couldn’t fully invest in Lopez.
“Jennifer and I are so much alike as far as our drive, our determination, what we want to achieve. That’s why we connected,” Diddy once told Oprah. “But I could never go forward and finish the relationship with Jennifer because I was still in love with Kim. She still had my heart.

Gayle King returned to CBS Mornings after a lengthy hiatus, revealing she’d been out of the country.
The morning show host shared updates about her whereabouts in a series of social media updates.
Gayle revealed it was a fun getaway to Japan as she was on a “girls trip” with her close friend Oprah Winfrey and other friends.
In an Instagram video she shared this week, Gayle appears with Oprah and two other women from the Land of the Rising Sun.
The video, set to OneRepublic’s I Ain’t Worried, shows highlights from the trip as the women walk the streets of Japan, check out various attractions and sights, and enjoy some of the cuisine.
During one moment of the highlight reel, Oprah even enjoys some okra.

Whew! This week's Elsbeth double feature certainly tried to make up for our long wait since the Elsbeth premiere dropped back in February.
While "A Classic New York Character" was another fun jaunt about New York City with our favorite quirky lawyer-turned-detective, "Reality Shock" left much to be desired.
Let's start with Episode 2.
This episode had it all -- rich, snobby New Yorkers, high-priced real estate deals, and a convoluted murder scheme only Elsbeth could solve.
Much like Elsbeth Season 1 Episode 1, we opened with a murder. Well, eventually.
First, we met Gloria. She's a nagging neighbor who seems to have a problem with everybody in her upscale NYC apartment building.
Gloria's troubles with her neighbors escalate from petty disagreements when a realtor, Joann (played by the fabulous Jane Krakowski), informs the building's co-op that Oprah wants to buy several units.
Gloria immediately vetoes the idea to the ire of her neighbors.

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.

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

First up in the movies arena is the streaming debut of Wonka, starring Timothée Chalamet.

The company says that Winfrey told the board this week that she would not stand for reelection at the company’s next annual meeting, set for May 9. Winfrey has been a board member and a public face for WeightWatchers since 2015.

After a rather tame show last month, the freewheeling Golden Globes are kind of back. Only now they go by the name the 30th annual SAG Awards, which had a whole lot of the Globes and the Emmys in their bloodstream Saturday.
Finally on Netflix proper after being relegated to the streamer’s YouTube channel last year, the 2024 SAG Awards is yet another shiv in the side of broadcast TV by Team Sarandos as the first awards show to stream live on the global streamer.
In fact, that is likely why everyone from SAG-AFTRA boss Fran Drescher, de facto host Idris Elba, Beef star and now SAG Awards winner Ali Wong and more thanked the streamer and the co-ceo — cause that’s why they call it show business not show friends.

It seems no member of the royal family is safe from the numerous allegations made in Endgame. The new book by Omid Scobie has leveled several claims against just about every working royal including Duchess Sophie (formerly the Countess of Wessex).
Many believe that the content in the book came directly from Meghan Markle because Scobie has often been referred to as the duchess’s “mouthpiece.” Although he has denied that Meghan had any involvement with the book plenty of royal watchers think if the information didn’t come directly from Prince Harry’s wife, it came from someone in her camp. That’s why Sophie is reportedly “fuming mad” at the author and Meghan over what’s been said about her in Endgame.

Warner Bros, for all its faults and its controversies with their new CEO, is actually carving out a nice little Christmas for themselves. The studio with a rich history in Hollywood is prepping for a big holiday season with Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom and The Color Purple in addition to Timothée Chalamet’s prequel of the candy tycoon. The buzz is also building for Wonka thanks to the direction of Paul King, who has gained acclaim with his beloved Paddington films. Christmas time is also a big time for movie theaters, despite what kind of business it may have done year-round. So, a superhero film, a reimagining of an 80s hit with Oprah and Steven Spielberg behind it, and the kind of hype Wonka is gathering may pay off well for the studio.
Deadline is now reporting that “the Timothée Chalamet starring musical is over/under $40M stateside at 4,150 theaters,...
