On Sunday, June 2, Oprah Winfrey sits with the Voice cast to talk the show's superstar judges and overall success for Oprah's Next Chapter.

But they used [...]

Two weeks ago, as I watched First Lady Michelle Obama announce Argo as the winner of the Best Picture Oscar, a few thoughts popped into my head: 1) I can't believe she's still rocking those bangs. 2) I wonder what Mr. President is up to tonight. 3) Michelle Obama is the new Oprah Winfrey. Remember when Winfrey easily could have been chosen to announce Best Picture at the Academy Awards with Jack Nicholson, and it would have seemed like a perfectly natural thing for her to do? It wouldn't have mattered [...]

So when Beyonce decides to do anything — appear in a magazine, or go on a TV show, or record some music, or have a baby, or make love to her husband Jay-Z — we just need to know what's happening with it. We do! We can't help it. And Oprah Winfrey is just like us — full of questions and eager for answers! — which is probably why she taped an exclusive interview special with Beyonce [...]
Oprah Winfrey sat down with Whitney Houston 's mother Cissy for an episode of Oprah's Next Chapter which aired Monday night (January 28). While there were several scandalous revelations from Cissy (e.g. she's really not OK with homosexuality...nor with Bobby Brown ), the biggest bombshell came from Whitney's brother Michael, who made a tearful appearance in the episode. The commonly held belief is that bad boy Bobby Brown introduced Whitney to drugs, and thus, had sparked her drawn-out, tragic demise. But Michael admitted [...]

Justin Bieber 's been busy lately! Between a demanding schedule of tweeting #GPOYs, dressing inappropriately for formal occasions and dealing with haters left and right, he's been in the spotlight more than ever, so one could hardly fault the crooning Canuck for being a little cagey when he met up with Oprah Winfrey to tape an exclusive one-hour special of Oprah's Next Chapter for OWN. But cagey was the word, with the Biebs playing it relatively evasive for much of the interview — his explanation of why he loves on-and-off girlfriend [...]

Oprah has long pushed a "men who hit you can change" line on domestic violence, so it's not surprising that she's thrilled at the news that Rihanna and Chris Brown are reuniting . Still, it leaves a bad taste in the mouth: "I'm not surprised," Winfrey said of Rihanna's decision to work on her relationship with Brown, who released a personal video yesterday in which he reveals he still loves his ex. "You know what I loved about that interview is that she came with a big, wide open heart. She was in the space [...]

Chris Brown and Rihanna have been spotted spending time together recently, and some fans think it's a show of weakness on Ri Ri's part to hang out (and hook up?) with the man who left her bruised and beaten back in 2009. But in any celebrity coupling, we should remember that it isn't our opinion that matters — it's Oprah Winfrey 's. Next to an official pardon from a full-blown deity, O's opinion is golden for any bad boy working his way back into the public's [...]

After watching Oprah interview the likes of Rihanna and Jennifer Hudson on her "Next Chapter" series, it can only reiterate the fact that Oprah's interviews are raw and very much to the point. So yesterday, Oprah revealed that Usher will be the next celebrity to bare all on camera. Talking about everything from custody, infidelity and much much more. Topics that the star will be touching on are topics that he vows to never talk about again. Take a look at the preview below:

Love and Facebook. These days, they're virtually inseparable. But think about how much better one would be without the other. Picture this: a love supreme that's 100 percent offline. Or Facebook without whiplash-inducing ever-changing relationship-status updates. Or better yet, ever-changing relationship status in the privacy of your own relationship. And who needs those constant reminders that you aren't the center of your significant other's universe every time you look at his or her Facebook timeline? Facebook is so much better suited to longtime exes who've long ago shaken the need to be central [...]

In the preview clip, which you can watch above, the two share a few laughs and talk about how Hudson's brand has grown over the years — Idol , the Grammys, the Oscars, the book.

It shouldn't come as much of a surprise that Rihanna still has a place in her heart for Chris Brown , given their recent musical collaborations and the fact that the Barbadian diva cried over the loss of her "best friend" in a preview for her Oprah's Next Chapter interview . But many viewers of the episode (which aired last night) probably still found it hard to swallow when RiRi admitted that she still loves Brown. [...]

Everybody’s gonna say he’s a monster." In a new [...]
