"OPRAH WINFREY" FINALE AIRING TODAY

Oprah Winfrey - TIFF 2009

Today marks the end of an Era in Television as Oprah Winfrey’s final Show airs later today. The final Taping which took place yesterday was considerably modest compared to her Monday and Tuesday-aired episodes recorded at United Center in Chicago, which featured Celebrity Guests like Tom Cruise, Madonna and Stevie Wonder.

The focus of the final Episode is said to be between Winfrey and her Fans with one chair only on-stage and an audience including names like Tyler Perry, Cicely Tyson and soon-to-be-Divorée Maria Shriver. Fans leaving the Taping reported the experience as being emotional and the Cameras follow Winfrey about as she walks through the halls of Harpo Studios, bidding farewell to members of her staff.

Have some Kleenex ready! And remember, she’s not really gone. The Oprah Winfrey Network is still around!

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER & MARIA SHRIVER SPLIT AFTER 25 YEARS

Arnold Schwarzenegger in Toronto - January 2011

The Los Angeles Times reports that Arnold Schwarzenegger, just here in Toronto this past January, has split from his wife of 25 years, Maria Shriver.

The Couple issued this statement regarding their Separation: "This has been a time of great personal and professional transition for each of us. After a great deal of thought, reflection, discussion and prayer, we came to this decision together. At this time, we are living apart while we work on the future of our relationship. We are continuing to parent our four children together. They are the light and the center of both of our lives. We consider this a private matter and neither we nor any of our friends or family will have further comment. We ask for compassion and respect from the media and the public.".

Heartbreaking!  Hoping that when the dust has settled, Schwarzenegger channels his energies back into his Acting again fully so that we can see him doing again what we love him for most!
