‘The Great Gatsby’ Trailer is Here!
I have to agree with you. I had high hopes this movie would be a traditional take on the novel (which I adored in high school). I won’t see it till it hits DVD. I will definitely see it – most everything Leo does rocks.... -
BREAKING: Anderson Cooper Was Actually Rude to Someone
I thought she was dreadful but to tell her infront of a live audience and national television was completely unprofessional. I lost all respect for him. -
Quotables: Kelly Clarkson Stays Fit for Her Man
As long as he’s not pressuring her to lose the weight and she wants to do it. Doesn’t matter if it’s for him or herself, if it’s her choice, then I think that’s fine. Especially when she looks so fit... -
Kristen Stewart Looks Super Excited About Her New Job
I actually think this is the perfect job for her, she shold stop acting right away and be a model, she’s so passive like a wooden doll, -
‘Chutes and Ladders’: The Movie

cbs should fire her.
I love Oprah!
She inspires me to wanna start a fuckin’ company and get some good whites on the payroll.
Gotta love her.
LOL at “cbs should fire her.”
But I love Oprah, too.
HOW REFRESHING. BRILLIANT
You misinterpret.. she was using the quote terminology in the way her mother spoke. It was without evil intent.
If a white person had said this about black people, there wouldn’t be enough hours in the day for Al Sharpton to go ape shit over this.
Quoting her grandmother was fine. Her follow-up comment was self-serving and unnecessary.
It would have been just as effective had she followed up with, “I achieved that and more”.
Oprah is openly racist, has been for a long time. This doesn’t really surprise anyone. And yes MiJo, you are right.
If someone said “I regret that she didn’t live past 1963 and see that I did get some really good black folks…working for me” they would be in a world of trouble. But luckily we live in the age of double-standard racism where ol’ whitey has to accept blatant discrimination or be called a bigot.
I was actually among the recent Howard University graduating class and Oprah was such an inspiration!!! I love her! The crowd adored her :)
Oprahs are racist bitch
A lot of people are jealous of:
“Black” / “Billionaire” / “Oprah”
Get a life!
I love and admire her. No matter what, she had to work to get where she is today!
Hard work is the result not putting people down.
Check your insecurities!!!
