Dayum… and I never got a chance to watch.
According to Rodney Ho of the Atlanta Journal’s Radio & TV Talk Blog, the Mo’Nique Show has been canceled.
In an interview he did at 2:40 p.m., the stand-up comic said he enjoyed the experience working with Mo’Nique. “I’m selling out shows now,” he said. “That’s a win.” He heard the news from Mo’Nique’s husband but hasn’t spoken to the Oscar-winning actress yet. (He wouldn’t say when he knew about this, implying he has known for awhile.)
On May 25, 2011.
After 25 years of the “Oprah Winfrey show” the queen of talk is officially hanging up her mic and leaving ABC to produce shows for her (OWN) Network on cable television. May 25 is Winfrey’s last air date.
The talk show diva has set the trail for others to follow and has made history as the most influential African American woman in the world.
Let’s wish Oprah well as she embark upon this new endeavor.
We have heard about the Chris Brown GMA rage all week and personally, I think people need to let it go!!!!! But my loyal “ceo blog-reader” Yasha Lynn, will not be satisfied until I add my two cents about Wendy Williams comments following.
Wendy Williams was wrong for calling Chris Brown a dummy, in my opinion he’s immature, human and like the rest of us, make mistakes. The “loud mouth” talk show host did say one thing that I totally agree with though:
“Your rage was uncalled for. Robin was right to ask you about Rihanna. You will get asked that question from now until the end of time… and you’d better figure out a politically and mature way of answering it!”
Here’s Chris Brown’s response to Wendy on his Twitter page:
With Oprah!
The 18-year-old Brooklyn teen (Pictured above), hasn’t seen her crack-addicted mother, Nicole Forde, since she was 5 years old. Juliet has since been bounced around through 17 foster homes, where she said “sexual and physical abuse was the norm.”
Juliet’s goal by appearing on the “O” Network is to ultimately find her mother. Cameras and investigative genealogist Pam Slaton will follow Juliet Forde around Bushwick, Brooklyn asking strangers if they ever met Forde’s mother.
A freshman at Hostos Community College in the Bronx, the Brooklyn teen is appearing on the Oprah Winfrey Network tonight to share what it’s like to have no family and no home.
“I always asked God, why me?” “Why are all these bad things happening to me?” “I want to tell people my story,” said Forde, whose story will air at 9 p.m. on the show “Searching For … “
“My purpose in this world is to change foster care,” said Forde, a freshman at Hostos Community College in the Bronx. “God put me through all of this so I can be a voice for all other foster kids.”
The Oprah Winfrey Network…
According to Sheila Johnson Co-founder of Black Entertainment Television, who feels Oprah Winfrey needs to open up her circle a bit and add some diversity; specifically black faces.
Johnson said “We love the Dr. Phil’s and the Suze Orman’s but there’s also African-American experts out there that I think, she should start bringing on her show that can reach an even wider audience.”
Oprah responded to the criticism by stating:
“We couldn’t ask for more – we built it and they came,” Winfrey told Multichannel News Thursday night during an OWN dinner party. “My dream is that they continue to come. It’s a long process – it’s not about this weekend it’s about sustainability long-term, but I’m pleased with the start.”
Let’s hope Oprah will take heed to some of the criticism and find a balance that will reflect everyone, especially since she has such a wide, diverse audience. Lord knows my mother loves her.
Tell me CEO Family….has anyone watched the Oprah Winfrey Network since it aired?
