All rappers hate Oprah


Oprah has pissed off several hip hop stars including Ludacris, 50 Cent, and now Ice Cube. The rapper-actor has joined the chorus of male artists who claim that Oprah doesn't give them equal air time. Ice Cube makes a good point when he notes that Oprah puts rapists and child molestors on the air, but doesn't invite hip hop artists:

“I’ve been involved in three projects pitched to her, but I’ve never been asked to participate,” the rapper-actor tells FHM magazine. “For Barbershop, she had Cedric the Entertainer and Eve on, but I wasn’t invited. Maybe she’s got a problem with hip-hop.” Cube adds: “She’s had damn rapists, child molesters and lying authors on her show. And if I’m not a rags-to-riches story for her, who is?”

A few weeks ago Oprah gave a ridiculous excuse for her white middle-aged female-centric show, saying she loves hip hop and even has some black artists on her iPod:

"I listen to some hip-hop," she told DJ Ed Lover. "You know, I've been accused of not liking hip-hop and that's just not true. I got a little 50 (Cent) on my iPod. I really do. Love 'In Da Club.' ... Love that, and you know, love Jay-Z, love Kanye (West), love Mary J. (Blige)."

That's like Bill O'Reilly saying he has black and gay friends. (Ok, it's not that bad, but it's a pretty lame excuse.)

Maybe Oprah will realize that rap isn't taboo and that her audience likes a good story from any background. Africa is cool enough for Oprah, but black culture in America is something she filters through her clueless, snotty viewpoint. She's old and richer than everyone in the world. It's about time she realized her show can't remain relevant and retires.

Oprah's Legends Ball, with Janet, Mariah, and Tyra


Oprah held her "Legends Ball" last night to honor the achievements of African-American women. Celebrities pictured include Oprah Winfrey, Janet Jackson, Jermaine Dupri, Tyra Banks, Mariah Carey, Spike Lee, Diddy, Smokey Robinson, Pam Grier, Dionne Warwick, Gayle King, Cicely Tyson, Deborah Roberts, Antonio LA Reid , and Nate Berkus.

A two hour special featuring highlights from the 2005 Legends Ball will air on ABC this Monday:

The special is scheduled to air at 8 p.m. ET Monday, May 15, leading into the two-hour season finale of "Grey's Anatomy." It will feature interviews with some of the honorees and others who attended the ball, along with footage from the events of the weekend: a lunch for the honorees, a formal, white-tie ball and a gospel brunch that featured the likes of Patti LaBelle and Gladys Knight.

In addition to the honorees, among those in attendance at the weekend's events were Halle Berry, Sidney Poitier, Angela Bassett, Tom Cruise, Barbra Streisand, Sen. Barack Obama, Maria Shriver and Quincy Jones.

In the pictures of the event, Janet Jackson looks fit and happy, and Mariah Carey looks pretty good even though she's wearing a stripper cut-out dress. 70s siren Pam Grier looks pretty bad, but I looked her up and she suffered from cancer in 1988 and was given 18 months to live. She was gorgeous in Jackie Brown in 1997. Hopefully she's on the road to recovery and will get a makeover soon.

Vince Vaughn on "Oprah": Jen's "one of my favorite people" (update: video)


In an appearance on today's "Oprah," Vince Vaughn sort of acknowledged his relationship with co-star Jennifer Aniston when questioned directly, but he gave the old "Jen's my friend" response earlier in the interview:

Vince speaks highly of his Break-Up co-star, whom he is also dating. "Jennifer's great. She's one of my favorite people," says Vince. "She's just really smart and funny and easy to be with—very considerate. She's great."

Even though they're hounded by the press and there's a lot of controversy over Pitt leaving Aniston for Angelina Jolie, you think Vaughn could come up with a better way to handle it than to act like he's just buddies with his live-in girlfriend. He told David Letterman about a week ago that "I'm not saying we are or aren't a couple. I think she's great, but I just don't discuss whether we are."

That's weird and most celebrities at least acknowledge their significant other without getting into too much detail. It's strange that Vaughn is referring to Aniston like a friend's sister or someone he just happens to know, and it doesn't make their relationship seem too secure.

When Oprah asked Vince if he considered having children with Aniston, he didn't jump back into his "just friends" mantra and seemed to acknowledge that he's with her. He said there's no way he's having kids with her, though:

Does Vince want to have kids? "At some point I would," says Vince. "I've always liked kids a lot—but no plans for the future. First we have to have the $8 million wedding!"

Has Vince discussed having kids with Jennifer? "No, I have not talked about having kids with Jennifer," he says. "I think [having children] takes a lot of focus, takes a lot of attention. I think it would be nice at some point to have a different priority in something else as you've sort of done stuff and challenged yourself, I think that time would come. But not any time in the near future for me, I don't think."

It doesn't sound like VInce wants to stay in his relationship. Any guy his age who wants kids but doesn't want them with their girlfriend - just doesn't want to be with their girlfriend.

Aniston is said to have asked Vince to give up a role that would have required him to film abroad for three months, suggesting that she's just as clingy and whiny as everyone thinks she is.

Aniston is also said to be devastated by the artsy pictures of Brad and Angelina on the beach in Namibia that came out a couple weeks ago. She was nearly in tears and said that Brad never looked that happy with her. It's just a matter of time before Vince wises up, too.

Here is Vince on Oprah. Thanks to marthaz on the JJB board for pointing these out.

Update: Video segment of Vince on Oprah:

Teri Hatcher spills her guts on Oprah (update: video)


I want to dislike Teri Hatcher, I really do. In fact before I read the synopsis of her interview on the Oprah site I had the opinion that the woman can't snap out of her crybaby routine. After reading what she said and getting an idea of what she went through, I have to say that it kind of touched me. I hope that she can get some therapy and realize that she has it pretty good now and that the past is behind her.

She talked a lot about her childhood abuse and how painful the situation was. She also said that Ryan Seacrest dumped her after a couple of dates, and made it sound like she actually bought into the situation:

In March 2006, she was photographed kissing American Idol host Ryan Seacrest on a secluded beach. Oprah wants to know…what's the deal with that?

"It's such a non-story" Teri says. "All the things you read in the tabloids about me and men are really non-stories."

Teri says she and Ryan were set up by a mutual friend, and after two group dinners, they met for a lunch date at an out-of-the-way location. "Interestingly enough, I haven't seen him since that day," she says. "We knew that the [pictures] had been taken, which must have bothered him enough. An hour after he dropped me off, he called to say, 'I don't think I can do this with you.'"

She denied dating Clooney at all, and said that she only went on one date with him. She also said she doesn't use botox and talked about the fake hair and boob tape that everyone uses to look better on the red carpet.

She looks pretty bad in recent pictures so maybe she doesn't use botox and that's the problem. As for her relationship with Clooney, I really doubt that they only had one date. There were all sorts of rumors about that. Still, now that I discovered quotes from a personal trainer about Katie Holmes that were completely made up, I have a lot less faith in the gossip industry.

Hatcher has a new memoir out, called "Burnt Toast," in which she chronicles her sad love life. She reveals that she didn't have sex with her second husband on her honeymoon, and they only had sex once in the year her daughter was conceived.

Hatcher says she's now looking for love and wants lots of sex. As we pointed out earlier, this is not the way to go about it, but at least it will sell books.

Here she is on Oprah. There's a short video clip for the show on the Oprah website. (This is up as of today, May 3rd, and may be removed shortly)

Update: Video segment where Teri discusses the Ryan Seacrest situation.

"Three Days of Rain" is a mixed success for Julia Roberts


Julia Roberts received a standing ovation last night on the official opening of her broadway play "Three Days of Rain." Many celebrities attended the show and after party, and people said they loved it. Unfortunately the critics trashed Julia's performance.

The previews are over and the verdict is in -- and film star Julia Roberts is getting the most brutal reviews of her career for her Broadway debut.

The New York Times said Roberts' performance in "Three Days of Rain" is "stiff with self-conciousness."

The play officially debuted Wednesday night at Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre on 45th Street in Manhattan.

The critic for The New York Post said: "Hated the play ... hated her ... liked the rain."

The New York Daily News wrote that there's "no chemistry" between Roberts and her co-stars.

The Washington Post said "the pretty woman is pretty much in over her head."

Only USA Today was kind, saying Roberts' performance was "credible, compelling and sweetly funny."

The play is a huge box office success, though, thanks to Roberts' star power. All 16 performances are sold out, and have grossed nearly $2 million.

Celebrities pictured attending the show include James Gandolfini, Dave Matthews, Marcia Gay Harden, Thaddeus Scheel, Rosie Perez, Kristen Johnston, Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, Elaine Stritch, Oprah, Gayle King, Mario Cantone, and Michael C. Hall. Roberts is shown on stage and at the after party with her co-stars, Paul Rudd, and Bradley Cooper.

Jennifer Aniston calls in to Oprah to deny wedding rumors


In a show titled "Tall Tales and Legends," Oprah took a call from Jennifer Aniston to clear up the rumor that Oprah will host Aniston and Vince Vaughn's wedding on her Chicago estate.

Oprah takes an important call at the studio to clear up these rumors, once and for all. Jennifer, who's currently starring in the movie Friends With Money, calls in to say the story is not true.

"[The rumors] are so unbelievable," Jennifer says. "For us, I guess, at a certain point, you have no other choice but to think it's funny."

Aniston also said that she's no longer house hunting in Chicago, saying, "No, I'm good, actually. I've got my house." She must have hired someone to kill off those pesky rabbits.

Oprah then revealed the true purpose of the show when she denied that she and her long-time boyfriend, Stedman Graham, are having relationship trouble.

Here are pictures from Aniston and Vaughn's movie, "The Breakup," which is due for release on June 2nd. [via] and [via]

Page Six is so over; Naomi Campbell to appear on Oprah


The NY Post is embroiled in a scandal involving a senior editor of Page Six, Jared Paul Stern, asking for huge bribes in exchange for positive reporting. The news on Page Six seems to be going downhill fast. Although it is Monday and gossip is harder to find, we can't help looking at the NY rag with an overly-critical eye. It seems like they could make up anything at this point.

Of course that's true about most newspapers lately. Scandals involving plaguarizing journalists rocked USA Today, The New York Times, and The New Republic in the last few years.

Page Six is seriously lame today, and leads with a story of "dueling dwarf bands." They did have this gem, though: evil bitch Naomi Campbell may appear on Oprah to cleanse her soul. She's also said to be fighting with Diddy after she pulled out of his cooking show. Now why would he still want her to come? She must be fabulous at tenderizing:

We hear Campbell will sit down with Oprah Winfrey to talk about her anger-management issues...

Embattled supermodel Naomi Campbell is feuding with her old pal, Sean "Puffy" Combs. The two - who until recently would travel the world together and party till dawn - are not talking after Campbell unexpectedly pulled out of the new NBC show Combs is producing, "Cooking Showdown," which pairs celebrities with superchefs. "Naomi found out Puff was the producer and dropped out," said our spy. Combs, who will have to do with just Ja Rule on his show, is mystified as to why she's so mad at him.

You know Oprah is not going to be as hard on Naomi as she was on James Fry. Maybe Jared Paul Stern should go on Oprah to redeem himself too. He can sit there looking at his hands and act as if he's sorry that Page Six made up all those stories to try to embezzle money out of innocent billionaries and socialites.

The NY Daily News says that Page Six's positive coverage of "Girls Gone Wild" mogul Joe Francis was totally influenced by Francis' star treatment of another Daily News coumnist, Richard Johnson. Francis held a lavish bachelor party for Johnson at his resort in Mexico and flew in all of Johnson's friends on his private jet. Page Six had a glowing report on Francis that ran afterwards, saying that he wanted to get into publishing to become "the next Hugh Hefner."

Page Six is also said to have a chummy relationship with richie Ron Perelman, who recently jilted his wife Ellen Barkin.

Buh-bye to that shitty rag.

Jennifer Aniston wants to channel her bitterness into another loveless marriage


Like everyone else, we assumed that the Jolie-Pitts were flying back to the states when they were photographed three days ago at the airport. That's why we didn't publish these pictures of Brad flying in Nice when we came across them earlier today - we assumed they were old.

It turns out that the famous couple flew to the south of France and that the unexpected venue afforded the Jolie-Pitts a precious few days out of the spotlight. These photos are of Brad flying yesterday.

Speculation is rampant that bitter Jennifer Aniston may beat her ex to the altar, and that Oprah will host the wedding!

Jen and Vince may actually beat Brangelina to the altar! “Jen has told Vince she’s ready to get married,” reveals a friend of the Aniston family.

“She just wants to be Vince’s bride - today, tomorrow, next week. She’s told him to name the day. As long as that day comes soon, that is."

Life & Style Weekly cites a source that believes that Jen & Vince may be married before the release of their summer film opens.

And despite the sneaky way that Aniston got Oprah to endorse James Fry's lousy psuedo-memoir (to promote the hoped-for film, for which Aniston owns the movie rights), Oprah has agreed to host Aniston's wedding at her estate. Aniston reportedly wants a huge lavish affair to show the world how utterly petty and wasteful she can be. (She also probably can't have the thing at her house since it's overrun with rabbits.)

No matter what she does or who she attaches herself to, you can be sure that Aniston won't be happy.

Two more after the jump.
