I do not like Oprah. Of course I do not know her personally but I just think she's a fame whore.

I agree, BeautyXRush w/ your sentiments about Oprah. She just doesn't do much for me. I don't understand the sensation surrounding her. She is not intellectually stimulating, even w/ the banal Oprahs Reading List. What is that AR for adults? Whenever I'm reminded of her, I have visions of unhappy, rubenesque housewives glued to the TV.

I really cant stand Oprah. She seems to be full of herself. I know shes a big deal to most, just not me.

Kam- its the same reason that Babs hasnt had her nose fxed. It changes vocals, air passing, all kinds of stuff. That and she clearly isnt hurting in the self esteem area. :)This Forbes list is so lame to me because they dont have them in any order and some people who made more are lower down the list. Some people who were in the news less are higher up on the list and it just makes no sense. Longoria is Higher on the list than 30 people?! REALLY?!

I wish they'd leave Paul Newman the freak alone. Jebus, one way or the other, it's just rude to speculate on cancer.And a lot of people happen to find gaps in teeth intriguing and even...sexy, says the girl with a gap she'd never cosmetically "fix."

Seriously, what else is there to know about Madonna? He's probably broke and sis won't help him out so he's going to fabricate a bunch of crap.I've had enough of Amy Winehouse! That skinny b*tch needs to be clocked on the head with her own crack pipe and tied to a bed with detoxing IVs! Whether she likes it or not.

Oprah being the most powerful is nothing new to learn. Even if they didn't have this list most everyone knows she is anyway.You go Oprah! :)

It's hard to imagine what Madonna's brother could say that would be more 'graphic and devastating' than what's already out there about her. Does she secretly watch soap operas, wear mom jeans and have sex in the missionary position with her husband?
