“Oprah Winfrey Is Not A Lesbian”

The ReadyWriter

I’ve said that many times before and I’ll say it again!

Until you experience the love and the closeness that she shares with her best friend Gayle, only then, will you be able to understand their relationship.

The talk show Diva opened up to Barbara Walters about the lesbian rumors that were circulating rampantly after she and Gayle went on this camping trip. Oprah went on to say that: “Gayle is the mother she never had. She is the sister everybody would want. She is the friend that everybody deserves,” she went on to say: “I don’t know a better person.”

Oprah, who broke down in tears while talking to Walters, told herself she wouldn’t let Walters make her cry, and that the reason those words brought her to tears is because she’s never said them to Gayle herself.

Oprah also addressed the persistent rumors that she and Gayle are lesbians.

“I’m not a lesbian. I’m not even kind of a lesbian,” she said. “And the reason why it irritates me is because it means that somebody must think I’m lying. That’s number one. Number two: why would you want to hide it? That is not the way I run my life.”

You can catch the hour-long (Barbara Walters) special when it runs on Thursday (December 9, 2010) on ABC.

“Wesley Snipes Will Surrender To Authorities”

The ReadyWriter

But before he does, he will appear on CNN’s “Larry King Live” tonight.

Snipes was convicted of three misdemeanor counts of failure to file tax returns and was sentenced to 3 years in prison.

Earlier in the week, Wesley requested a delay to start his prison sentence until after the holidays but a judge denied his request; as he has also lost a series of appeals and requests for new trials.

Prior to his conviction, Snipes had been a member of an obscure cult whose leader didn’t believe in paying taxes.

Snipes also claimed that as a “fiduciary of God, who is a ‘nontaxpayer,’” he was a “‘foreign diplomat’” who was not obliged to pay taxes.

Snipes failed to file tax returns for the years 1999 to 2004 on earnings of $37 million.

According to CNN’s Marquee blog, the actor will sit down for his only interview (tonight) on CNN’s “Larry King Live.”

Snipes is scheduled to report to the Federal Correctional Institution McKean at Lewis Run, in Pennsylvania on Thursday, December 9.

“Aretha Franklin Had Gastric-Bypass Surgery”

The ReadyWriter

The legendary Queen of soul, Aretha Franklin feels like a new woman one day after undergoing a successful gastric bypass/weight loss surgery.

“The surgery was highly successful,” Aretha said in a statement to Access Hollywood following the procedure. “God is still in control. I had superb doctors and nurses whom were blessed by all the prayers of the city and the country. God bless you all for your prayers!”

Franklin, 68, had the surgery yesterday following a Prayer vigil organized by the City Council in her hometown of Detroit, MI.

Last month, Franklin cancelled all concert dates and personal appearances through May due to undisclosed medical reasons.

“Did This Heifer Raise Her 1 Million For AIDS?”

The ReadyWriter

The singer was highly criticized by her followers on Twitter.com Wednesday, after she broke her own vow not to tweet until she had raised $1 million for AIDS research.

Alicia Keys rocked a tight black dress at an event for The Cinema Society on Wednesday night, displaying a remarkable post-baby body less than two months after giving birth.

Keys tweeted a number that her followers could text to “buy” her life back. But apparently, her followers didn’t care if she came back to life or not.

Therefore, she deleted her tweets once her followers protested.

So is she really serious about her cause? 

The poorly received ‘Dead Celebrities’ campaign, featuring stars such as Serena Williams and Ryan Seacrest lying in open caskets, has raised less than $100,000 so far.

“They Are All Dead Today – For A Cause”

The ReadyWriter

Singer and new mom Alicia keys joined a host of celebrities who are helping to raise money for AIDS research by suffering a ‘digital death’ which involves them logging off their Twitter, Facebook and other social networking sites for 24 hours today (Wednesday, Dec. 1).

Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, Usher, Kim Kardashian, P. Diddy, Jennifer Hudson, Ryan Seacrest, Elijah Wood, Serena Williams, Jay Sean, Swizz Beatz and more, make beautiful corpses while lying in their coffins in a series of ghastly portraits released by the Worlds AIDS organization.

In my opinion, I think it’s too much!

The stars logged offline on Tuesday, Nov. 30, and will not sign back on until $1 million has been raised for Alicia Keys’ Keep A Child Alive foundation.
