avoidz…it’s a valid article for this website. Oprah is a big name in TV.
Well it was a Saturday, and the AFI’s. Can’t be in two places at once, mate.
Slow news day?
Or Paris for that matter…?
Where’s Brittney?
… Yet even Oprah saying that Australia was like the best movie everrrrr (I’m paraphrasing) didn’t translate into massive ticket sales.
lol. Miley Cyrus.
No real surprise seeing as though most Yanks think everything Oprah says is true.
Surprised Barbra Walters not in top 10
