As reported earlier this morning, Oprah makes her big announcement about ending her 25 Years run of The Oprah Winfrey Show.

“I love this show … this show has been my life and I love it enough to know when it’s time to say goodbye,” said Winfrey. “Twenty-five years feels right in my bones and my spirit. It’s the perfect number, the exact right time.”

NeNe Leakes is loving her new fame as the star/drama queen on RHOA. Last week, NeNe Leakes hosted a wrap up party for The Real Housewives of Atlanta…but she was the only housewife there. LOL! Go figure? Check out the pics:

Supposedly, there was a candlelight vigil for Kandi’s ex-fiance, AJ Jewell that same day. People who attended were upset that Kandi didn’t show up and took it to twitter to voice their opinions:

It’s official. Earlier this week, we reported that it was rumored Oprah would be ending her show. It has been confirmed by her spokesperson that the queen of daytime talk shows, Oprah Winfrey, plans to end her highly rated The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2011 after 25 years.

“The last day will be Sept. 9, 2011,” the spokesperson says. “She will speak about it on (Friday’s) live show.”

According to People.com, Winfrey, 55, whose current program reaches about 7 million viewers a day, is preparing to start her own cable channel, and it has been widely rumored that she would bring her program to OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network, a joint venture with Discovery Communications.

“We have the greatest respect for Oprah and wish her nothing but the best in her future endeavors,” CBS TV Distribution, which distributes the show, says in a statement. “We know that anything she turns her hand to will be a great success. We look forward to working with her for the next several years and hopefully afterwards as well.”

In related news, Oprah Winfrey’s much-anticipated interview of Sarah Palin brought her talk show its highest ratings in two years. Check out a clip from the show:

TV personality Tila Tequila has filed a lawsuit against ex-boyfriend Shawne Merriman over assault accusations from a September altercation in which the San Diego Chargers linebacker was never charged with a crime. Tequila is seeking damages for assault, battery, false imprisonment and emotional distress. 

Anything for attention!

Rumor has it that Bravo kicked off Sheree Whitfield from the third season of Real Housewives of Atlanta much like they did DeShawn Snow. The rumor revealed that Bravo was trying (yet again) to get Tameka Foster as a replacement on the show to stir up a bit more drama. But Essence has confirmed the rumor is BOGUS.

Bravo reps say that no decisions whatsoever have been made about season three and the rumors are false.

Yesterday, media reports indicated that Nivea and Lil Wayne had their baby boy, but its not TRUE! Nivea took it to her Twitter page to confirm she is indeed still very much preggers. RUMOR CONTROL!

Wasup with these celebrities not paying their taxes??? Jermaine Dupri has been added to the growing list of celebs trying to dodge their dues to Uncle Sam.
The state of Georgia filed a tax lien against him Tuesday for $135, 749. That’s just the beginning of his troubles! We hear that the IRS filed a $3,095,004 lien against him in September. According to his attorney James Kane, JD’s currently working on getting the liens removed and told the Detroit News his client successfully made payments on the money past due.
“I can assist you in telling you that all of the taxes have been paid and my law firm has been, and is, in the process of getting the liens removed in normal course. As to any other information, you can certainly understand under the attorney-client privilege that I am not able make any further comment.”
Hot Mess! Maybe Janet Jackson was better off leaving him and that debt!

11/18/09 The feud between 50 Cent and Rick Ross seems to get worse and worse and even too personal at times. 50 Cent in my opinion, is takin’ it to far. His recent stunt…50 posted various photos on Thisis50.com of Rick Ross’ family posing with 50 and boxer Floyd Mayweather at the boxer’s Las Vegas mansion.  (More scoop/ pics after the jump)

One picture shows Ross’ ex-girlfriend Tia Kemp’s son DeAndre, as he poses in front of Mayweather’s Bentley. Another features Tia posing with 50 Cent, Floyd Mayweather and her sons DeAndre and Kemp and Ross’ son William Roberts Jr, who can be seen sporting a chain with the logo for Ross’ Maybach Music record label.

What is more disturbing is that Ross’ ex, Tia Kemp, is enjoyin’ this and even has her sons posing in the pics. She also publicized the event via her Twitter account.

“In Vegas with the kids and 50 chillin @ Mayweather’s crib………,” she wrote on Saturday. “And yes I will be @ the fight later tonight…@ @mayweathermania crib with 50 and the kids……… Just met Diddy now, I’m loving life right now.” (Tia Kemp’s Twitter)

I wonder if Rick Ross will keep his cool after seeing this. Would you?

Oprah invited Robin Givens to her talk show. On Friday’s episode, Oprah Winfrey apologized to Robin Givens over how she dealt with a comment made by the star’s ex, former boxer Mike Tyson, last month. “I was really hurt, really, really hurt,” Givens told Winfrey of the TV show host’s and her audience’s reaction to the boxer’s ctober “Oprah” show comments about the actress’ 1998 Barbara Walters interview. As you may recall, Tyson said on Oprah’s show that Givens lied during the interview and he added, “At that particular moment, I truly wanted to sock her, but I didn’t do it,” as the “Oprah” audience laughed.
“I hope you accept my apology,” Winfrey told her. “I had a lot of empathy and compassion for Mike Tyson and still do, but that never makes hitting women OK. It’s never OK.”

Did you guys get to see Janet Jackson’s exclusive interview with Robin Roberts? It was pretty good. Janet Jackson, 43, is so soft spoken and her smile is engaging. She spoke about her close relationship with her brother. Michael was simply “Mike” to Janet, while Janet was always “Dunk” to Michael. The last time Janet Jackson saw her brother alive was a few days before her birthday. Robin Roberts asked Janet what her fondest memory of that final visit was, “I remember him making me laugh.” was Jackson’s reply. If you missed it, check out the FULL INTERVIEW here:

For the record, during that interview Janet Jackson said she was “single” and was no longer dating Jermaine Dupri despite recent media speculations that the two are still together.

Do you guys remember Aaron Hall? He’s one the strongest vocalists of the last 20 years, and as the lead singer of the trio Guy — along with producer/multi-instrumentalist Teddy Riley and singer Timmy Gatling (who was later replaced by Hall’s brother Damion) — he helped birth the New Jack Swing movement, which was the first to combine R&B with hip-hop beats. Well, although he had a big influence in today’s R&B, Aaron Hall was never able to revive his career…so he turned to his other passion. Training Dogs! I kid you not. Aaron Hall has a new show much like the “dog whisperer” called DOG REHAB.

Check out the preview of the show below. Better yet, check out the suit he is rockin’ LMFAO! Love it!

Sean “Diddy” Combs turned the big 4-0 on Nov. 4, but he is waiting
until this Thursday (Nov. 19) to celebrate the birthday milestone in
grand style. Word is the hip hop mogul plans to take over NY’s Plaza
Hotel Grand Ballroom for his elaborate event.

More industry news…

On Nov. 23, Steve Harvey and his wife Marjorie will give away more
than 6,000 turkeys to needy families across the country, as well as host “Steve Harvey’s Big Turkey Give Day” in Chicago with two daytime events in the cities of Markham and Chicago.

The recession is even effecting the richest woman in the industry. We hear that Oprah Winfrey will face a pay cut if she decides to continue doing Oprah through 2011.

Oprah’s deals with local stations and her CBS TV Distribution deal expire in fall 2011, and, according to Variety, local network aren’t willing to pay as much for the right to air the nearly 25 year old talk show as years past.

“Stations have made it clear to [Winfrey's production company] Harpo that if she does come back, they’ll significantly reduce the license fees they pay,” one exec tells Variety. “Station revenues are down 40 percent to 50 percent, but they’re paying license fees projected on revenue remaining the same. Plus, her ratings are going down. She’s still the queen, but that’s an enormous problem.”

I’m sure Oprah can afford a pay cut…I wonder if she will continue the Oprah Show?

According to publicity h*%$re, La Toya Jackson, Michael Jackson’s eldest son Prince Michael I inherited his father’s rare skin condition. As you may know, the lae pop icon, Michael Jackson, suffered with vitiligo — a skin condition which causes depigmentation in patches of skin — and Aunt La Toya claims the singer passed the disorder down to his 12-year-old son. “Vitiligo is on my father’s side and Prince has it, too – on his arms and chest.”

That woman says anything to make the news. SMH!
