Words Of Wisdom: Oprah

“Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another steppingstone to greatness.” ~ Oprah Winfrey

Oprah’s Mom Not Paying Her Bills?

I know what you must be thinking and I was thinking the same thing. How is it that Oprah’s mother is having problems paying anything, especially her bills?

Vernita Lee has allegedly rolled up a $150K bill since 2004 at a Brookfield, Wi. clothing boutique — and hasn’t paid it back. So now the store, Valentina, is trying to get its money the hard way — in court. The store’s attorney tells the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel the Oprah-ma hasn’t been making minimum monthly payments of $2,000 for some time. TMZ

Her daughter is a billionaire and gives away cars to a studio full of people and her mom has a $150,000 bill that is not being paid. Come on O, you can dig that out of your couch cushions. Thoughts?

Oprah Says: “Money Isn’t Everything!”

Let me just start this one with a take me higher lord! The Queen of Media, Oprah Winfrey, gave the commencement speech to 4,000 Stanford University graduates. During that speech she told them to remember that money isn’t everything.

“Money is pretty nice,” she continued. “I like money. It’s good for buying things. But having a lot of money does not automatically make one a successful person. What you want is money and meaning — you want your work to be meaningful, because meaning is what brings the real richness to your life.”

I’ll tell you what, let’s test that theory and tomorrow she should deposit $50 million in my account. Thoughts?

Oprah Buys Her Own Television Network!

If having her own talk show, radio show, part owner of Oxygen, and changing lives over in Africa for thousands of people wasn’t enough… Oprah has gone and bought her own Television Network! OWN — for Oprah Winfrey Network — will debut next year in nearly 70 million homes with cable and satellite, part of a deal announced Tuesday with Discovery Communications. It will replace the Discovery Health network. The announcement builds a media empire that already includes the top-rated TV talk show, a magazine, a satellite radio network, a Web site, and TV movies made under her banner.

“This is an evolution of what I’ve been able to do every day,” Winfrey said. “I will now have the opportunity to do this 24 hours a day on a platform that goes on forever.”

Love muffins, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? Do you think this will be TOO much Oprah or are you excited about the new network! Please, Let me know!

Say What? Roseanne Lets Oprah Have It!

On her blog, Roseanne, went on a rant about Oprah Winfrey and her support for Barack Obama. If I’ve learned one thing in, I know you don’t mess with Oprah. Messing with Oprah is like messing with the Mob. It will be a cold day in hell before you hear me saying something bad about the Big O. I love my life too much! Check out what she had to say:

“Barack Obama is an empty suit selling “hope” in lieu of Truth. Oprah Winfrey helped to elect Arnold Swartzenegger. I have no doubt that she voted her purse by doing this, as she is a large land owner in California, and that ilk fears Dems because they do not want to pay their “fair share” of Cali tax.

Oprah has given us Schwarzenegger and Dr. Phil. If that was not offensive enough to decent thinking people, now she brings us Obama. He has no ideas, no plan and nothing to add other than the cynical pacification of the masses with bedtime stories about hope, while calling Unions “special interest groups” that need to be done away with.

Obama votes with Bush constantly funding this terrible endless war.

Oprah, you play the race card and the gender card too.

You are a closeted republican and chose Barak Obama because you do not like other women who actually stand for something to working American Women besides glamour, angels, hollywood and dieting!

When Americans find out that Obama backs right wing corporate racist anti worker bullshit, they will not vote for him, and the victory will go to the most racist right wing republican ever…. Mccain, who is a fascist!

That the culinary service workers in vegas have promised barak their vote,( he is anti union in his votes) over edwards, who is a pro-union man, just proves how stupid americans are and how they can be tricked so easily by the color of a person’s skin…exactly what MLK hated!

Obama doesn’t even back reproductive rights for any woman! It is historical that Oprah Winfrey, beloved of women, chooses a flashy man with small credentials over a seasoned woman politician with 35 years of experience…and sells that to the female demographic who look to her for inspiration!”

What are your thoughts love muffins? Was Roseanne out of line or right on point?
