A new will.i.am music video celebrating Barack Obama’s election as the 44th President of the United States will be premiered on “The Oprah Winfrey Show”. His representative broke the news to the Associated Press, saying that the Chicago-based show will debut the video on Friday, November 7th.
The Black Eyed Peas star called on his fellow celebrities to mark the monumental election by contributing to the project.
“This was inspired by America. It’s about Obama winning, and really paying tribute to those people who are responsible for that happening, and that’s the American people,” the My Humps hitmaker said. “The whole thing is really for people to leave testimonials… to create a page and leave testimonials on how they feel about this American accomplishment.”
will.i.am became a part of 2008 election saga when he released the video “Yes We Can” in February to millions of viewers on YouTube. Several stars including Ryan Phillippe, John Legend and Scarlet Johansson appeared in the video reciting lines from an Obama speech over will.i.am’s music.

Barack Obama addressed an exuberant crowd at a historic victory rally in Chicago’s Grant Park celebrating his election as 44th President of the United States on November 4th, 2008.
The president-elect defeated Republican presidential candidate John McCain to become the first African-American chief executive in the 232-year history of the country.
On making such history, Obama opened his speech, saying “If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.”
Obama also assured Americans who do not vote for him that “I may not have won your votes tonight, but I hear your voices. I need your help and I will be your president too,” he said.
Among the celebrities spotted in the crowd were actor Brad Pitt, and talk show host Oprah Winfrey who had endorsed Obama at a live event in Des Moines, Iowa earlier this year. …on the edge of your seat? Keep reading!

May 23rd, 2008 | Posted in Celebrity News, Television
Oprah Winfrey will abandon her meat-eating habits and embrace veganism for 21 days in an attempt to cleanse her body.
The talk show host agreed to take part in a “21 Day Cleanse” after speaking to Kathy Freeston about her book Quantum Wellness.
She hopes to raise the profile of veganism in public awareness.
Writing on her official blog about her first day on the diet, Oprah said, “Wow, wow, wow! I never imagined meatless meals could be so satisfying.
“I had been focused on what I had to give up — sugar, gluten, alcohol, meat, chicken, fish, eggs, cheese.’What’s left?’ I thought. Apparently a lot.
“I can honestly say every meal was a surprise and a delight, beginning with breakfast — strawberry rhubarb wheat-free crepes.”

Mariah Carey’s Mac ‘n’ Cheese Obsession
April 15th, 2008 | Posted in Celebrity Gossip
Mariah Carey has been left with a broken heart after she had to give up eating her favorite food, macaroni and cheese.
The R&B diva said the meal was her “comfort food” and that she found it most difficult to replace the delicious dish with her new diet plan.
Speaking to Oprah Winfrey, Mariah revealed, “It broke my heart. That’s the thing that I have difficulty letting go of because that’s comfort food. So basically I’m uncomfortable.”
Mariah also revealed that her current jean size is the same as when she was at high school thanks to her new diet, which reportedly helped her lose 30 lbs.
She said, “My jean size went down to my 10th grade size. I got tired of people telling me, ‘You need to lose weight’. That’s what inspired me.
“For me, it’s not about a number on a scale. It’s not about necessarily even a size. It’s about feeling good and being comfortable in your own skin. Right now, I feel really great. I feel better than I’ve ever felt.”

Snoop Dogg Tells Oprah To Kick Rocks!
March 5th, 2008 | Posted in Celebrity Gossip, Music News, Television
Snoop Dogg has no love for Oprah Winfrey after she called him out on his womanizing ways.
Last year, Oprah claimed the rap superstar was responsible for the degradation of women through hip-hop.
But Snoop Dogg doesn’t believe her accusations were accurate, and would like the opportunity to defend himself on her show.
He says, “I don’t like her no more. I really was offended, because I kind of like her. Liked her. I’m very articulate, very intellectual. She didn’t even get a chance to even know me.”
And Snoop Dogg insists that his womanizing ways are a thing of the past, as his new work “is for the women” to make up for his past remarks.
He adds, “(I want to) give the ladies something, because I’ve been so mean and so rude.”

Oprah Leaves Stedman Out Of Her Will
January 10th, 2008 | Posted in Celebrity Gossip, Television
Oprah Winfrey has sparked rumors her relationship with Stedman Graham is in trouble after leaving him out of her will.
The talk-show queen recently drew up her will, leaving none of her $2 billion fortune to her partner of 21 years in the event of her passing, according to MSNBC’s The Scoop.
Instead, the media mogul has decided to leave her money to several charities and the three daughters she hopes to adopt.
A source says, “(Adoption) is something she has always wanted to do.
“There’s no talk of her adopting the children with Stedman - this is something she’s going to do by herself.”
What a shame! Oprah could have at least let Stedman keep the guest house! I guess 21 years of good loving from Stedman doesn’t amount to much!
