Obama Heads to Chicago for Oprah, NYC for Money

NEW YORK -- President Barack Obama plunged into donor-rich New York on Wednesday, his first fundraising sweep of the city since announcing his re-election bid this month, with a lament that he has not seen his wish for less-polarizing politics realized. "The hope that I had that we'd start coming together in a serious way ... has been resisted," Obama told contributors gathered at the home of financier and former New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine. His intention, Obama said, is to make the 2012 campaign an "election in which we're not just talking slogans ... but we are looking soberly at the ...

Michael Vick Cancels Oprah Appearance

CHICAGO (AP) -- Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick will not be appearing on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" after all.

Oprah's Big Discovery -- A Long Lost Sister

The queen of the confessional and the tearful, televised reunion found herself in the middle of her own unexpected surprise Monday, much like the scores of those she's facilitated for others over the years. Her fans held their breath as the promos ran and the tidbits leaked out -- Oprah Winfrey has a long lost sister that she only learned about a few months ago. In light of the timing of her announcement -- this is Oprah's 25th and final season of her syndicated show before heading off to oversee her Oprah Winfrey Network (aka OWN) -- we could be jaded and say this was somehow a stunt for the ...

Oprah Winfrey's Big Family Secret: Twitter Speculates

This time, it's personal. Talk show queen Oprah Winfrey teased viewers this week that she's going to hit them with a major surprise during Monday's episode.

"I thought I'd seen it all. But this, my friends, is the miracle of all miracles," Winfrey said in a promotional bit for the program. Could it be that Winfrey will announce that Michelle Obama is her long-lost sister? After all, the first lady ...

Michael Vick Subject of Bet Between Oprah Winfrey, Piers Morgan

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick was the focus of a friendly wager by Oprah Winfrey and Piers Morgan, whose new CNN show was set to debut Monday night. Winfrey declined to answer what she thought about Vick because she was angling to interview the convicted felon turned Pro Bowl QB. That prompted Morgan, a Brit who is taking over the 9 p.m. ET slot held for years by Larry King on CNN, to wager 100 pounds to see who would get to interview Vick first. Oprah upped the bet to 200 pounds (about $317). "That's not a whole lot of money," said Wolf Blitzer, who was previewing the ...

Opinion: Can Oprah Help Restore Civility?

Opinion: Can Oprah Help Restore Civility?

I have long thought that whatever else the wondrous worldwide Web is, it is a lunatic asylum, where mean-spirited cretins roam its dark halls and smash against padded walls spewing hate all over the place pretty much for just one reason: They disagree with you. I speak from first-hand experience. If you honestly believe there's a liberal bias in the so-called mainstream media, as I do, the reaction by the anonymous critics on the Web is not that I'm simply wrong, it's that I'm a freaking fill-in-the-blank -- and they're not so polite as to use the word "freaking." Jon Stewart is a smart guy ...
