Oprah Joins Will, John and Sidney to Celebrate Tyler's Studio

PopSugar — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 04:00:00 -0700

Oprah Winfrey brought both Stedman Graham and Gayle King to the opening gala for Tyler Perry's new movie and TV studio in Atlanta on Saturday night. While Oprah is dealing with a defamation lawsuit from the former headmistress of her South African Girls school, it was the history-making event that had Oprah so emotional. Tyler is the first African-American to own his own studio and there were a few tears in the crowd as he took the stage to announce that he's named three sound-stages after the legendary actors Ruby Dee, Cecily Tyson and Sidney Poitier. Sidney was there to accept the honor, saying, "I spent 56 years making movies and this is the reward that I have that means the most to me." With a supportive crowd including Will Smith, John Legend and many others, it was truly an event worth celebrating.

Oprah and Stedman Living in Sin?

PopSugar — Tue, 26 Dec 2006 17:32:06 -0800

Oprah and Stedman may finally be moving in together after about 20 years of dating. Better late than never! The man must have the patience of a Saint! Well, it's paid off and now people are saying that wedding bells are just around the corner as well! We're not so sure about this story but we do want more weddings so we'd be happy to see these two finally take it to the next level. Life & Style reports:

"They will be moving together to a new place," a rep for Oprah confirms.

Could this be the first step towards marriage?

Insiders tell Life & Style that Oprah and Stedman could finally be ready to walk down the isle. “At Oprah’s age she no longer feels she has to prove anything about being a strong single woman," says one insider. "She’s happy to let Stedman have what he wants.”

While the rep downplays talk of nuptials, the insider says Chicago would be the frontrunner for the wedding location - and Oprah just bought the perfect love nest there: a $6 million, 5,000-square-foot apartment!

We wish them lots of luck, but it doesn't look like they're going to need it. Their courtship has lasted much longer than most Hollywood marriages!

Jay-Z was up late last night to perform at his concert in Washington, DC, but he was out bright and early this morning with his furry cap on to watch President Obama being sworn in. He was joined by Beyonce, her sister Solange, and Diddy for the inauguration ceremony, all looking happy to experience each special part of the day for themselves. Also on hand to witness the event were Leo and Bar, fresh from their trip to the UK, as well as Oprah, Anne Hathaway, Adrian Grenier, and many other famous faces that were mixed into the crowd. The celebs are all probably used to receiving special treatment, but this morning they were just regular American citizens watching history take place.
