Top Celebrity New Year’s Health Resolutions


We have a morbid curiosity about celebrity New Year’s Resolutions: Whether they’re totally out of touch with reality or just completely self-indulgent, they’re usually entertaining enough to keep us flipping through magazines or scrolling through online interviews. Remember Gwyneth Paltrow’s 2010 resolution, sent to her fans via GOOP newsletter last year? We love the idea of learning how to meditate, but reading her announcement was like watching a train wreck — we wish we had the willpower to look away … More »

Oprah Doesn’t Do New Year’s Resolutions


Whether you love or hate Oprah, you have to admit: She accomplishes a lot. So what are the new year’s resolutions behind the queen of talk? None. In a recent interview with Wall Street Journal, Oprah advised not to make any new year’s resolutions for 2011: “I don’t make them, because I live in the space that I’m in right now,” she told WSJ. “I move with the flow, live in the moment.” … More »

Hugh Jackman Injured on Oprah


When Hugh Jackman ziplined from the Sydney Opera House to appear on Oprah, he got a distracted by the crowd, forgot to pull the brakes, and flipped into the set lighting, injuring his right eye.

Oprah’s Ultimate Audience Betrayal: 5 “Favorite Things” We Wish She’d Stop Promoting


Oprah hosted her final Ultimate Favorite Things episodes yesterday and last Friday, sending audiences into conniption fits with a long list of gifts that gradually increased in net worth. (Yes, vehicles and diamonds were involved.) We’re as jealous as the next person of the altruistic audience members who recieved iPads, $500 Nordstrom gift cards, and expensive Nikon cameras. (Though we’re perfectly happy not to be stuck with those glittery UGG boots.)

Oprah’s Better Than Santa, So Here’s What We’d Ask For If We Sat on Her Lap


Part one of OprahPalooza 2010 Oprah’s Ultimate Favorite Things aired this afternoon, and although we’ve been periodically checking under our seats for gift certificates and cashmere, alas: We weren’t invited to the big sha-bang. Guests who have given back to their communities were specially chosen, but rumor has it that they howled and cheered just like anyone else would when Oprah gave away a 52-inch flat-screen TV and a watch worth more than $2K. It’s Oprah’s last season, and she only has one thing left to prove: She’s better than Santa Claus. … More »
