Tom Cruise, Will Smith, Beyoncé Knowles, and Countless More Bid Farewell to Oprah With Music, Comedy, and Tears

Allie Merriam — Wed, 18 May 2011 12:08:00 PDT

A whole range of celebrity guests turned out for the Oprah! A Farewell Spectacular in Chicago yesterday. It was a huge event, at the city's United Center, organized to tape the second- and third-to-last episodes of Oprah's long-running TV show that will air on May 23 and 24. The guest list ranged from performers like Alicia Keys and Beyoncé Knowles, singing her new single "Run the World (Girls)."Tom Hanks played host for the first of two hours of taping, and he introduced the show by saying, "Now Oprah, I know you don't like surprises. Let me see if I can put you at ease. There was an English playwright who said there's no surprise more magical than the surprise of being loved, and that is what tonight is all about." The second 60-minute segment was emceed by Will Smith, on a break from shooting Men in Black 3, and Jada Pinkett Smith. Oprah's 12-time guest Tom Cruise stepped onto the stage to the theme-tune from Mission Impossible, saying, "You always had the power [to change lives], and that is the lesson you brought."

Even Maria Shriver turned out despite the scandal brewing over her estranged husband, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and the revelation he fathered a child outside their marriage 10 years ago. Maria made a heartfelt speech to Oprah, thanking her for the gifts of truth and wisdom. There were also 13,000 fans in the audience to see the proceedings - one guy apparently even proposed to his girlfriend before the festivities began! There were plenty of surprises in store, including a comedy set from Jerry Seinfeld. He had the crowd cracking up with quips like, "To be here at the United Center and not be at a Bulls Game!? This is like a dream a disoriented husband would tell a shrink: I was at a Bulls game packed with fans and somehow it all changed to the Oprah show." The shocks kept coming with tributes from Dakota Fanning, Halle Berry, Josh Groban, Rosie O'Donnell, Jamie Foxx, Usher, and a cameo from Oprah's long-term boyfriend Stedman Graham! Stedman spoke sweetly of his lady love, commenting, " I love you for making a difference in my life." All of the affection eventually got to Oprah, who broke down in tears. She wrapped things up by saying, "Thank you for taking me to a place that is beyond joyous - It feels like the rapture."

Allie Merriam — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 07:59:13 PDT

Anne Hathaway threw on her Joie cover-up and joined a friend in Rio de Janeiro yesterday to check out the view from her hotel balcony. She had a break from promoting and premiering her new animated film Rio, though her partners in the film Jesse Eisenberg and Jamie Foxx were busy elsewhere with interviews. Her work even brought her onto Copacabana Beach a few days ago. It seems like a picture-perfect work trip for Anne and her cast, and the lucky actress was even able to bring her boyfriend, Adam Shulman, along for the South American getaway.

Lauren Turner — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 11:50:28 PDT

Anne Hathaway was on trend in a lacy white Dolce & Gabbana dress to pose for photos in Rio de Janeiro yesterday at the premiere of Rio. She and her costar Jesse Eisenberg joined Jamie Foxx and will.i.am, who both contributed to the soundtrack, to promote the animated movie this week after first showing it off in LA in January. The actress went casual earlier in the day to join the group for a press conference, with Anne sharing that she loves "the message that you can learn how to spread your wings and fly." Anne managed to fit a fun shopping trip with her boyfriend, Adam Shulman, in between her work obligations, and the couple checked out a few tourist locations around the city. Jamie appears to also be enjoying his time in South America too, jokingly tweeting that he's canceling his life and not leaving Brazil.

Zach Galifianakis, RDJ, and Todd Phillips Due It Up at LA Premiere

Molly Goodson — Fri, 29 Oct 2010 11:30:00 PDT

Zach Galifianakis toted his adorable French Bulldog costar on the Due Date premiere red carpet in LA last night. The twosome posed with director Todd Phillips, Michelle Monaghan, and Robert Downey Jr. on their way in to show off the buddy comedy. It's Todd's highly anticipated followup to The Hangover, and the crew from that movie, which also includes Zach, recently reunited to start shooting the sequel. There's already been a bit of controversy surrounding The Hangover 2, and Mel Gibson is reportedly furious over losing his cameo, which was given to Liam Neeson instead. Zach was rumored to be adamantly opposed to Gibson's appearance, and the comedic actor has more clout than ever these days. He recently signed on for The Muppet Movie, and his HBO series, Bored to Death, was renewed for a third season. RDJ, meanwhile, has been in London getting to work on the Sherlock Holmes followup alongside Jude Law and Guy Ritchie.
