PostHeaderIcon Oprah ends her daytime TV show in 2011



The queen of daytime talk show Oprah Winfrey announced her decision to quit her show on September 2011. The popular entertainment host who graced TV show audiences and endeared her fans since 1986 planned to confirm the news in her Friday appearance in one of the most watched programs in television.

Wealthy, famous, and a prominently influential Afro-American in the entertainment trade, Oprah has a viewership which ranges from 3 to 7 million in more than a hundred countries. For a long time, she reigned as the best-rated daytime show in town.

According to observers, she earns a fabulous pot of $270 million yearly. Her future plans is unclear after she leaves the 25th season of her very successful syndicated show. It appears what lies ahead is unsettled since the astute businesswoman has involved herself in politics by supporting current Pres. Barack Obama--- a move that may eclipse her fame and fortune.

PostHeaderIcon A footnote from Madonna’s nude photo

If only to remind us that it’s the culture, value judgment, and sensibility of the 21st century that people are living, Madonna’s nude photo taken when the singer was just 20 years old trying to make ends meet, fetched for a record sell of $35,500.

The astounding amount is enough to stave off hunger of more than 35,500 indigent families in the Third World for a day or feed greater than 1,167 poor families for one month.

The frontal shot was taken for a measly $25 in a 1979 photo session with the then obscure Madonna Louise Ciccone before she became the well-known Madonna, the celebrity of the musical world. The photo was bought by an unidentified European buyer at a price more than twice than originally expected in a New York auction on February 12, 2009. (Photo Credit: Tony Barton PD) =0=

PostHeaderIcon Capitalistic Hollywood Gains: Batman races to be taller than Darth Vader

The head of Star Wars dark character Darth Vader looms high over the New Jersey skyline in the Quik Chek Hot Air Balloon Festival in Readington, New Jersey on July 25, 2008 (Photo:AP/EvansM,) and the movie The Dark Knight sizzles with a new batman record in its sprint to Hollywood's book of prolific profits.

So far, the batman movie had raked in 400.04 million of capitalistic Hollywood bonanza after 18 days of domestic run. It is racing on towards the $500 million mark to be the top grossing comic-book adaptation ever, putting aside the record of Spiderman. The film is expected to beat the original bonanza of Star Wars of $461 million, making it the 2nd, next to Titanic’s $600.9 million in all time domestic record of gains. Credit: AP/Germain,D.
