Ma-halo, Kokuaguy. Love how these hypocrites come out of the woodwork as soon as someone they fear hits the news. I'm not gay and I really don't care, but she IS a human being - Which is more than I can say about the vast majority of inhumane bashing witnessed here.

Oprah Winfrey: Sorry for Begging for OWN Viewers

(NEWSER) - We all know the Oprah Winfrey Network is struggling with ratings —but apparently the situation is so bad that Winfrey herself felt the need to tweet a request for viewers on Sunday night, as the Grammys were airing.

(NEWSER) - Courteney Cox and David Arquette just love to go on Howard Stern's show and seriously overshare .

In Oprah Interview, Christie Has Praise for ... Obama

Don't underestimate the president, Christie warns

(NEWSER) - Chris Christie had surprisingly positive words for Barack Obama in a recent sit-down with Oprah Winfrey, calling him "very charismatic" and "genuine." Asked about the president's chances for re-election, Christie replied, "I think those who underestimate Barack Obama underestimate him at their own peril. He is as good a politician as I've ever seen. ... I think what he says he believes, he believes. That's a very dangerous politician." The interview airs Sunday at 9pm EST on Oprah's Next Chapter, but the AP has a preview. More»

Oprah's New Talk Show Notches Lackluster Debut

1.1M tune in, but Winfrey will likely need to boost that audience

(NEWSER) - Oprah's new talk show debuted Sunday night, and just 1.1 million people watched. That may sound like a lot at first—and, in fact, it is the second largest audience for any show on the struggling Oprah Winfrey Network—but not when you consider Winfrey averaged 6.5 million viewers in the last season of her old daytime show, Piers Morgan premiered in Larry King's old slot to an audience of 2.1 million, and the History Channel's Pawn Stars averaged more than 5 million viewers last month.

Martha Stewart Show Canceled

Adding insult to injury, Home Depot stops selling her paint

(NEWSER) - Martha Stewart is not having a good 2012 so far. The Martha Stewart Show will end in April due to poor ratings, and Home Depot won't even sell her paint anymore, the New York Post reports. Stewart's flagship show, currently on the Hallmark Channel, averaged 225,000 viewers last year, and just 41,000 in the key demographic: females from 25 to 54 years old. Making matters worse, it's very expensive to produce. More»
