Oprah Winfrey Show to End in 2011

Oprah Winfrey announced on today's show that 2011 will be the last year of the Oprah Winfrey Show.  It will be the 25th year of the show, but Oprah has other endeavors on her mind like a new talk show on OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network.  I also assume that "O Magazine" will continue to produce more issues of Oprah on the cover.

It is a shock that she's somewhat retiring, but the talk show host is worth over $2 billion.  I think she'll be fine and ratings have slipped seven percent from last year, so maybe it's time to close the curtains and give up-and-coming broadcasters a chance.  No more Tom Cruise jumping on couches like a crazed madman, seeing her weight fluctuate month by month, watching her give a ton of badass freebies to audience members, or putting books on best seller's lists just by saying she likes it.  Now maybe people will once again decide what they like based on what they like instead of what Oprah likes.

Good luck Oprah.  Not that you need it.  You have more money than you know what to do with and everything you touch turns to pure gold and dollar bills.

Twit-Stalking

Since joining Twitter last summer I have become quite the “tweeter”. But lately I have turned into more of a Twitter-stalker, “twit-stalk”, if you will.  I find myself so invested and engrossed in (insert twitter name here)’s ramblings throughout the day that I feel the need to login to the site 17 times a day in addition to receiving tweets to my phone.  I just have to know what people are saying in 140 characters or less. For some reason it’s fascinating to me to know when someone is “stuck in traffic” or “trying on sunglasses, aviators rock”.
 
I even twit-stalk celebrities.  Spencer and Heidi tweet at each other and about the fabulous music career of Ms. Spencer Pratt.  Oprah name-drops in her tweets and throws in an inspirational message every now and then.  Ashton is still working on creating a Guiness work record for most followers. Perez dishes out the gossip and rants about Lady Gaga. Fascinating.
 
If anyone out there shares my twisted twit-stalking habit follow me: twitter.com/torreyyy.  I promise to keep you updated about how much I love the diet coke I’m drinking and keep you updated on the status of my tan lines.
