Chris Brown Still Mad At Oprah Winfrey

Chris Brown

Fallen R&B singer, Chris Brown, inexplicably still has issues with talk show host Oprah Winfrey, yet none with fellow womanbeater, Jay-Z, who wanted to kill him for beating up his adulteress, Rihanna, who he has been cheating on his wife, Beyonce, with since the very beginning of their marriage.

Ike Brown, pardon me, Chris Brown, is embarking on a small public redemption tour that will do nothing for his standing in society. He is slated to hold a small concert in Miami, as will fellow misogynist, R. Kelly. A womanbeater and a pedophile hit the road around the same time. Someone alert the CDC.

Chris Brown Unhappy With Oprah, Has 'No Issues' With Jay-Z

Chris Brown granted his first radio interview since the February altercation with his then-girlfriend Rihanna on Wednesday (Oct. 21) to New York radio station Hot 97 (WQHT). During the talk with host Angie Martinez, Brown -- who spent the majority of the air-time stressing his deep regrets for his actions -- said he is "tight" with Oprah Winfrey for her lack of support.

"I don't dis her because I respect what she does for women around the world. But we did so many things together as far as me working for her schools in Africa, that I feel at the time I needed a helping hand, not for my career but as a person, instead of her pointing fingers," said Brown. "At the end of the day, you have opinions and thoughts, and that isn't wrong, but it's not right to judge someone when people make mistakes all the time. I learned from mine, I'm still learning and I regret every moment, every second."

Additionally, Brown said about Jay-Z, who was rumored to be the reason why Brown wasn't asked to perform during this year's BET Awards, "I have no issues with dude. Honestly, I don't know and I don't think it was him."...

Oprah Winfrey To Interview Sarah Pailin

Oprah Winfrey

U.S. talk show host, Oprah Winfrey, is finally going to interview former Vice Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin. Winfrey caught a lot of flak for refusing to interview Palin during the 2008 U.S. Presidential election, opting to only do shows with now President, Barack Obama and his Democratic contingent.

Sarah Palin

There is much she can discuss with Palin, such as the 2008 campaign (which would have been a more timely discussion in 2008), items that have been reported in the press about her marriage, the dad of her grandchild selling stories on the family and why she resigned as the Governor of Alaska.

Sarah Palin To Finally Appear On Oprah

Posted on Oct 20, 2009 @ 05:00PM - Sarah Palin is taking the TV plunge: she has finally agreed to appear on Oprah. On November 16, she and Oprah Winfrey will meet for the first time during the already much-hyped episode...

Oprah Winfrey Sued Over Sex On Private Jet

Oprah Winfrey

Oprah Winfrey has been sued for a moderate sum of money, $300,000, regarding an employee that was dismissed from the crew of the talk show host's private jet, for allegedly having sex with the pilot.

In her lawsuit against Winfrey, Corrine Gehrls, states the allegations are untrue and were fabricated by Gayle King's daughter, Kirby Bumpus (she must get teased over her name). King is thought to be Oprah Winfrey's lesbian lover.

Gehrls also states King slept in the same bed on the private jet as another female flight attendant on Winfrey's plane. Exactly what is going on, on Oprah's private jet. You know what, I don't even wanna know. On to the next topic.

Gehrls quoted Winfrey as stating to the private jet's chef, "White folks don't know what Southern food should taste like." Paula Dean does and so does Emeril.

Oprah Winfrey Sued Over Accusations of Sex On Her Private Jet

Posted on Oct 10, 2009 @ 04:14PM - A flight attendant has filed suit alleging she was fired by Oprah Winfrey's company, Harpo, Inc. as a result of a false accusation she and a married pilot had sex on the plane while Oprah napped.

Corrine Gehrls has sued Harpo, Inc. and fellow flight attendants Myron Gooch and Kirby Bumpus for the claimed wrongful termination. In her legal filing, Gehrls says she and Chief Pilot Terry Pansing had a on-going dispute with Gooch over work schedules. It became so heated, Gooch "recruited" Bumpus to join him in a plot to get the two fired. Bumpus is the daughter of Oprah's best friend Gayle King.

According to the document, "Gooch and Bumpus falsely told Winfrey and Harpo that on the June 14, 2009 Harpo flight, the passengers on which included Winfrey and Bumpus, Pansing and Gehrls had been observed having inappropriate intimate conduct outside the cockpit of the plane." The pair was terminated July 7.

Pansing and Gooch, on the advice of their respective attorneys, took polygraph examinations which they say proved they were truthful in their insistence they hadn't joined the Mile High Club on Oprah's plane. They presented the test results to Winfrey but she refused to reinstate them...

Gooch's lawsuit says that Pansing has separately settled the matter with Harpo, Inc. She wants at least $300,000 in damages.

Mariah Carey's Album Caving

"Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel" Bombing

Mariah Carey drunk as a skunk over flatlined career

Mariah Carey's latest effort, the album entitled "Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel" is not selling well. First the Eminem fiasco, the Foreigner fail and now this.

"Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel" is currently positioned to place at #2 on the Billboard Charts next week, with sales of 160,000 to 170,000 copies, her lowest in nearly a decade.

When one factors in the usually inevitable, second week percentage drop in sales, "Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel" is firmly on track to be turkey. Thanksgiving has come early. The exposure she gained from the Oprah Winfrey Show was for naught.

In other news, Carey was pictured staggering out of a restaurant drunk, due to the bad news. Back to the "Glitter" days, then.

Considering her past history in trying to take her life, someone should put her on suicide watch...again. Really, to take one's music career seriously enough, to the point of suicide attempts, is crazy.

Pop thief Madonna also bombed very badly with the release of her spectacularly stinky Greatest Hits album, which is on track to sell a paltry 67,000 copies. Never mind the Eagles sold 28,000,000 of their Greatest Hits CD.

Madonna is over. She hasn't had a hit album in America in over a decade. Hence, her trying to pimp out her preteen daughter in a sexually charged video, to no avail, as she is the spitting image of her and the world is tired of all things Madonna.

Barbara Streisand isn't faring too badly with her latest effort that received virtually no real promotion. It is on track to sell 160,000 copies.

Whitney Houston

However, it looks like this round of the battle of the Sopranos goes to Whitney Houston. Though her sales were not spectacular, Houston sold 300,000 copies during the first week of release, with a 70% decline in the second week.

Disclaimer: the term soprano is loosely applied to Madonna as she cannot sing for anything.

Fueled by Ramen Punk-Rockers Hold the Edge Over Diva in One-Day Returns

September 30, 2009 - Brand New Eyes, the third studio album from the band, fronted by lead vocalist Hayley Williams, takes an early lead in the race with a one-day sales total that projects to 180-190k for the week.

That gives them the edge over Island/IDJ diva Mariah Carey’s Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, which is now on target for 160-170k. With a question as to how front-loaded those sales for Paramore are, Carey could close the edge if she has a brisk weekend.

Those two are among the five top debuts next week, all registering in six-figures, including Columbia legend Barbra Streisand’s Love is the Answer (150-160k), Hollywood rockers Breaking Benjamin (140-150k) and Virgin/EMI’s retooled grunge gods Alice in Chains (130-140k).

Columbia Nashville country darling Miranda Lambert’s Revolution heads the other newcomers, with a total approaching 65-75k.

WB Material Gal Madonna’s Celebration greatest hits album is in the 60-70k range, as is Interscope goth-punks AFI’s Crash Love...

Whitney Houston’s Album Bombing

Whitney Houston’s new album “I Look To You” began with moderate sales of 300,000 copies sold in the first week. However, it quickly deflated in the second week, registering 83,000 copies sold. It is on track to be a flop, as stated previously.

This can be attributed to poor planning, bad song selection, sub-par production and thievery on the part of Sony C.E.O. Howard Stringer.

This vile corporate raider does not know the meaning of hard work, opting to steal every copyright, patent and trademark he can get his greasy fingers on. It is the opinion of the Judiciary Report, he needs some hard labor.

Houston needs to be careful in future regarding the material selection for her albums.

Oprah Winfrey Interviews Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon and Oprah Winfrey (Bauer Griffin)

Oprah Winfrey has been interviewing every pop personality in a bid for stronger ratings, due to her decline in viewership. Next, Oprah Winfrey will interview Oprah Winfrey.

Mariah Carey performing in Las Vegas to a small audience, due to poor ticket sales

I caught a clip of Oprah Winfrey interviewing Mariah Carey and it was much less interesting than the Whitney Houston piece last week. Carey gave her usual, run of the mill, juvenile interview.

Girl to Mariah: No, girl, no, that outfit is all wrong!

Her performance was not much better. Carey whispered and cracked her way through the Foreigner classic “I Wanna Know What Love Is.” It was an appalling choice, ill-suited to her struggling voice. Words were missing unintentionally, as her voice gave out.

Bobby Brown Speaks About Using Cocaine

In watching a video of R&B crooner, Bobby Brown, discussing his wife, Whitney Houston and her interview with talk show host, Oprah Winfrey, I am once again reminded of the speech impediment they both have now and can't help but think it is due to drug use.

When both singers speak, there is now a slight lisp and slurred speech, their faces are somewhat twisted and their tongues dip downward in a lethargic manner. One would think they had some bad drugs that led to a damaging stroke, seizure or nerve issue. What happened to them, as they were not like this before.

Whitney Houston's Daughter A Solo Singer

Whitney Houston and daughter Bobbi Kristina

Whitney Houston's daughter, Bobbi Kristina, wants to become a singer, like her famous mom and dad, Bobby Brown. She previously recorded a song with her mother and grandmother, Cissy Houston that was released last year in a Tyler Perry film, but now wants to branch out on her own.

Oh, how time flies. It seems like just the other day she was a toddler. Now, she's 16-years-old. She is pretty and can sing. However, it is a very evil industry, so beware and be careful, young lady.

Whitney’s daughter wants singing career

‘I know she hates it, but it’s the plan,’ Bobbi Kristina told Oprah Winfrey. Whitney Houston’s daughter revealed that she’d like to follow in her mother and father’s footsteps by becoming a singer.

During Houston’s appearance on “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” Winfrey asked Bobbi Kristina, now 15, if she planned to pursue a singing career.

“Yeah,” the teen replied.

“I know she hates it, but it’s the plan,” Bobbi Kristina said. “It’s my plan. Mine. Yeah.”

Oprah Winfrey Interviews Whitney Houston

Whitney Houston (left) and Oprah Winfrey (right)

Singer, Whitney Houston, did a very revealing interview with talk show host, Oprah Winfrey. In it she discussed the drug habit that nearly destroyed her. She spoke of an intervention her mother, Gospel singer, Cissy Houston, staged with the Sheriff's Department in tow.

Houston stated her mother told her stardom is, "Not worth it" and warned her husband, "If you move, Bobby (Brown), they are going to take you down. Don't you make one move" as they hauled Whitney off to rehab. You go girl!

She also revealed details about her relationship with R&B singer and fellow addict, Bobby Brown, who turned her on to drugs, discussing some of the ups and downs of their marriage. The two dated for three years before they married and she was addicted to sex with him.

She stated Bobby would cheat on her with other women and use her credit card to do so. Houston also spoke of an incident when he grew angry whilst on probation for drunk driving and slapped her.

Another revelation was Houston's drug use began after her blockbuster smash album and film "The Bodyguard" co-starring Kevin Costner.

The interview is somewhat sad. At times, she looked heartbroken and bewildered at all that has happened in her life, as there have been a number of terrible lows.

Trouble In Oprah Winfrey World

An article authored by Yahoo News questioned whether there is trouble in Oprah Winfrey's television empire, as ratings have fallen in a very noticeable manner.

Some are attributing the ratings slide to Winfrey's endorsement of Barack Obama for President, but I do not believe that is the case. However, refusing to interview Palin, did not help.

Oprah Winfrey has made comments contrary to the Christian faith she once claimed. She has become caught up in Hollywood and its leanings.

This has alienated a significant segment of her core audience, who are everyday Americans, 70% of which are Christians.

As much as audiences read about celebrities in magazines and on blogs, it does not mean they relate to and identify with them, as their lives are completely different. It is only a form of temporary escapism and entertainment for audiences.

Viewers preferred the down to earth Winfrey, speaking about issues they relate to, not the Hollywood, liberal, new age religion, gay agenda version that has emerged over the last few years, ripping into anyone and anything that does not agree with her new choices. Diplomacy is important on the talk show circuit.

Some of what has been stated by Winfrey, against people and issues that essentially do not deserve it, has been quite negative and it has created a ratings slide.

I know many Christians who have tuned out her show over misguided comments she made such as, "Jesus is jealous of me" stated by Winfrey, who misinterpreted a metaphor in the Bible.

Another recent example audiences took offense at was Winfrey's refusal to acknowledge the death of Michael Jackson, who she branded a pedophile and tried to get ex-wife Lisa Marie to proclaim him the same.

Winfrey's own experiences in being raped when she was younger, colored her perspective on the issue of child exploitation, which is understandable, but as a journalist, one must strike a balance, as difficult and painful as it may be to do so.

Oprah Winfrey and Stedman Graham

Some also attribute her change in perspective to being swept up by the Hollywood gay lifestyle, with many stating her close friend, Gayle, who she bought an expensive apartment, has actually become her lover, in the face of boyfriend Stedman Graham's infidelities. Hence, her animosity towards the values she once claimed.

Winfrey has been very charitable with many causes, which is commendable, but in taping her shows, she must remember her core audience or face ratings declines. It is her choice.

Is there trouble in Oprah's TV kingdom?

NEW YORK – ...Winfrey is still the queen of daytime television, but the aura of invincibility is gone. The average viewership for "The Oprah Winfrey Show" slipped under 7 million last season, down 7 percent from the year before, according to Nielsen Media Research. One week during the July rerun season, the show had its lowest ratings since its 1985 debut.

There are many possible explanations for the fade, including some over which Winfrey has no control. Ratings declines are common with so many choices and demands on time, particularly during the day. It's even rarer for programs that have been on the air as long as Winfrey's to grow...

Yet Winfrey has also alienated some of her audience, particularly in more conservative parts of the country, said Janice Peck, author of the book "Age of Oprah" and a University of Colorado professor.

By endorsing Barack Obama and campaigning for him, she shucked her apolitical image. Winfrey's book club selection of Eckhart Tolle's New Age religion book "A New Earth" angered some conservative Christians — even though Winfrey's producer said Winfrey was careful not to push Tolle's views on viewers through the television show...

Chris Brown vs. Oprah

Chris Brown Has Taken On The O

Chris Brown: Oh no she didn't!

Girlfriend beater, Sony Music's Chris Brown, recently spoke out against talk show host, Oprah Winfrey, for a special she did on domestic violence, concerning the singer, who beat up his girlfriend Rihanna, in response to an attack from her.

Brown stated he has done favors for Oprah, such as singing at her school in Africa. Therefore, for her to look at the incident in the manner she did, proclaiming it a one-sided domestic violence issue, rather than stating she should help both of them was, "A slap in the face."

First Lady Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey and U.S. President Barack Obama

"I commend Oprah on being like, 'This is a problem,' but it was a slap in my face. I did a lot of stuff for her, like going to Africa and performing for her school. She could have been more helpful, like, 'Okay, I'm going to help both of these people out.' - Chris Brown

"Oprah is very appreciative that Chris Brown performed at her school but she takes domestic abuse very seriously. She hopes he gets the counseling he needs." - Oprah spokesperson

Rihanna

Frankly, you opened yourself up to that in not controlling your temper and beating Rihanna back. You have been painted the villain and that is now your image.

Oprah denounced Chris Brown stating, once a beater always a beater, but I do think people can change. However, I'm certainly not vouching for Brown, as I do not know him, but think he lacks character and not just in the Rihanna incident. Neither Chris or Rihanna are decent people, as the public will soon find out.
