Goodbye Oprah

Oprah is finished.  No other way to say it.  The only thing we have to console ourselves with is syndication and years of reruns but it won't be the same.



So after all the speculation who were the guests on her final show?

Everyone really.

                                     TomKat                                                  Dakota Fanning

  Beyonce, Madonna, Dakota & Halle

The Smiths

  Stevie Wonder & Jamie Foxx

  Tom Hanks

 Jerry Seinfeld

Her besties Gayle King and Maria Shriver

5 things you didn't need to know

And because I'm nothing if not frivolous, a quick celebrity/entertainment update in order of what directly impacts me personally ;)

1. Posh is preggers. I hope she has a girl.

2. I can't wait for Oprah, Behind the Scenes to come to Oz.

3. Kate Middleton will make her way to the Abbey by car not horse drawn carriage. It's riveting stuff.

4. A few months ago I thought I should cancel my Vanity Fair subscription when it turned up with Lindsay Lohan on the cover. This month when it arrived with Justin Bieber staring blankly out at me, I did. Come on Graydon, it's Vanity Fair.

5. Princess Mary has had her twins, a la natural, one of each. Of course she has. What I meant to say was, congrats.

I dare you to take in these seven fabulous images of their shoot with German Vogue and not turn a delicate shade of green. Physical challenge.

I'm positively reptilian.

No Tickets for You

So I'm just going to come out and say it, I'm bitter and twisted that I didn't get tickets to any of Oprah's Australian shows! I've watched all of them (hang I've given up Saturday mornings to watch the marathons!), I've chanted the name, I've cried the tears, I've ridden the weight roller coaster (literally), I've read that biography (and put it down because I felt like a traitor) so damn it, why aren't I coming to her show.

Image source unknown.

Of course I know the odds, 20 gazillion people vying for not that many tickets but my glass-half-full-type of personality still thought I would be one of the lucky ones. Not so.

And then this morning, just in case I didn't understand the first rejection...
