Oprah Winfrey gets her Own Huffington Post section

23 May 2012 11:41 AM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »

Oprah Winfrey's attempt at running her Own cable network has had questionable success, but she's getting a helping hand -- in the form of another platform for her content -- from pal Arianna Huffington. In August, a branded Own section will launch on The Huffington Post.

According to a press release, the new sub-site will feature "articles, blogs and interactive content that will connect with the audience on an emotional and spiritual level."

In March, Own fired one-fifth of its workforce -- 30 employees -- while it struggled with weak ratings. A week earlier, the network canceled Rosie O'Donnell's talk show after just five months on the air.

What do you think? Will Own pull itself out of its tailspin or are the network's days numbered? »

Lesleyann Coker: Good Morning America Continues Ratings Wins Over Today

21 May 2012 12:00 PM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »

For the first time in 16 years, there's a battle brewing in the ratings between Good Morning America and Today for the top spot. The two shows differ in substance, style and personality.

Recent ratings trends indicate viewers favoring fluff, which begs the question of how much news will people stomach first thing in the morning and who do they want giving it to them?

When Gma beat Today on April 9th, NBC executives were quick to point out that Today host Matt Lauer was on vacation. However, when Gma repeated its feat the week of April 23rd, Lauer was in his usual Today anchor chair, as he was again the week of May 7th when Gma took the lead by 86,000 total viewers.

Good Morning America entered May sweeps -- one of the four months a year Nielsen Media Research surveys all 210 local television markets so local and cable stations can »

Trump To Zuckerberg: Only Give Girlfriend $1 Million In Prenup

15 May 2012 2:08 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

From questioning the president's birth certificate to calling Cher and Rosie O'Donnell losers, there's no shortage of things (or people) about which Donald Trump has something to say.

Now, Trump is opining on one subject with which he's very familiar: prenups. And more specifically, Mark Zuckerberg's prenup, should he marry his girlfriend.

After talking about Jp Morgan's Jamie Diamond on CNBC's "Squawk Box" -- a topic Trump called "so boring" in comparison to what Zuckerberg would do in the event that he got married -- he started running through hypotheticals:

"So he's gonna be worth like $18, $19 billion, you're telling me he's got a girlfriend ... does he get a prenuptial agreement?" Trump said. "They get married, and then for some reason over the next couple of years they get divorced and then she sues him for $10 billion and she hits the jackpot ... In New York, she would get a big chunk of what he has. »

Los Angeles, California (x17online) - Donald Trump is on the verbal attack once again, this time with singer Cher set in his sights.

The 25 web TV shows you need to see

12 May 2012 12:16 AM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »

With everyone from Joss Whedon to Seth MacFarlane involved, internet TV is attracting huge stars, big bucks and small-screen spin-offs. Here are the best streams to point your browser at

The Conversation

Celebrity interviews are often prosaic or, worse still, completely saccharine affairs where both interviewer and interviewee become lost in a mutual haze of self-promotion. The Conversation cuts the crap with its honest discussions, with host Amanda de Cadenet interviewing some of the world's most prominent female personalities, from Gwyneth Paltrow to Jane Fonda. It hit the headlines for asking celebrities to reveal their favourite sex positions, but there's far more to this series than tabloid-friendly disclosures. The words "From executive producer Demi Moore" may raise your cynicism levels, but the mood is often more Ted than TMZ, and it's classier than your average celeb fodder. And who needs friends when you can spend your lunchbreak with Sarah Silverman? »

Sneak Peek: Rosie O'Donnell Gets 'Happily Divorced'

9 May 2012 5:00 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Rosie O'Donnell is stopping by "Happily Divorced" (Wed., May 9, 10:30 p.m. Et on TV Land) to provide comic relief and some awkward tension between Fran (Fran Drescher) and her mother Dori (Rita Moreno).

In "Mother's Day," Fran forgets to make a brunch reservation for her and her mother and feels guilty for being a bad daughter. So her old pal Katie (O'Donnell) -- who's now a pet psychic, and as we learn in our exclusive sneak peek, also working at a department store -- suggests Fran make it up to dear old mom with a day of fun.

But "fun" for Fran's mom means wedding dress shopping with her eternally single divorcee daughter ... and Katie's not helping.

A year ago, Beth Behrs was a nanny.

Now she's Caroline Channing on CBS' "2 Broke Girls," which has its first season finale Monday, May 7. Caroline was a billionaire's daughter until her father wound up in prison, and she found herself homeless. She took a waitressing gig at a greasy spoon in Brooklyn, found a best friend in Max (Kat Dennings) and put her Wharton business degree to use -- raising money to start a bakery.

Behrs loves the chance to do broad physical comedy. In her favorite episode, Caroline's tongue swells when she becomes a medical guinea pig, then she has to testify for her dad.Behrs is giddy about her meteoric year.

"It's just crazy," she tells Zap2it.

She's walking in Beverly Hills, greeting pals in the street, which also makes her happy. Behrs has every reason to be happy. It's not as if a manager saw her and made her a star. »

Rosie O'Donnell Supports Oprah Winfrey At School Fundraiser

27 April 2012 4:06 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Comedienne Rosie O'Donnell proved she had no hard feelings towards her former TV boss Oprah Winfrey on Wednesday night after joining the media mogul at a New York fundraiser for her South African girls school.

The Rosie Show was axed from Winfrey's Own network in March after just one season on air and the cancellation was rumoured to have caused a rift between the two stars.

But O'Donnell showed she had nothing but love for Winfrey by turning up to the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls benefit at the Jazz at Lincoln Center venue this week.

Cindi Berger, O'Donnell's representative, tells the New York Daily News, "They have an excellent relationship. It was a very special night and a wonderful time."

The event featured a performance by the first class of graduates from the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in Johannesburg.

Other guests to show their support for Winfrey's cause included singer Mary J. Blige, actress Goldie Hawn, model Iman and hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons.

Winfrey opened the school in 2007 to provide education for disadvantaged females. »

I don't think she's right for the role and I don't think she's capable at this point of doing what's needed." But after Lindsay - who has been in-and-out of rehab and jail since 2007- hit back with: "It's funny that someone you don't know at all can say »
