Oprah’s Father Found Out About Her Half-Sister On TV Like The Rest Of Us!

Oprah stunned her audience Monday when she revealed a life-changing family secret on her talk show. Before she made the revelation, Oprah said, “For the most part, my life has been an open book. I thought nothing could surprise me, but I was wrong.”

The secret which “shocked” Oprah “to the core” is that Oprah has a half-sister named Patricia who was given up for adoption by Oprah’s mother, Vernita Lee, in 1963. Lee was able to keep the pregnancy and adoption a secret from Oprah because Oprah was living with her father at the time.

Oprah found out about her half-sister last year after the 47-year-old Patricia began a search for her birth mother and was led to the billionaire businesswoman as her sister in 2007. Patricia had previously tried several times to contact her unknown birth mother but was told by the adoption agency that the mother did not want any contact from Patricia. 
On The Oprah Winfrey Show, Patricia said that she first started thinking Oprah might be her long-lost sister when she saw an interview with Lee on TV. Lee just happened to talk about two of her other children which had previously died and the information Lee gave matched sibling information listed on the adoption papers in Patricia’s possession. 
After Patricia watched Lee’s interview on TV, she found Oprah’s niece, and DNA tests confirmed the two were related.

Oprah wanted to share the news of her newly-found sister on her terms and on her own show, lest the other media tell a different story filled with half-truths and lies. Oprah was somehow able to keep the information a secret from the world until she was ready to share the jaw-dropping info.

Even Oprah’s dad, Vernon Winfrey, learned about the new addition to the family like the rest of us did: While watching the much-hyped show Monday! Vernon who is not Patricia’s father told RadarOnline.com “I’m pleased for Oprah that she discovered that she has a new half-sister and I would like to meet her too. I intend to call Oprah later this evening actually to try and catch-up with her about the exciting news.”
I don’t know about Oprah, but I still have not been able to wrap my head around this news!

Nominations for the 83rd Annual Academy Awards were announced today in Beverly Hills, CA. The Awards ceremony will be held Sunday, Feb. 27 on ABC. Anne Hathaway and James Franco will co-host the event.

The leading nominations winner? The King’s Speech lead all movies with 12 nominations. True Grit and Inception are both at a close second and third with 10 and eight, respectively.

Sadly, my man Mark Wahlberg was snubbed for Best Actor, but The Fighter was nominated for Best Picture and his co-stars Christian Bale, Amy Adams and Melissa Leo all got nominations as well.

Jaime Pressly Owes A Crap Load of Back Taxes

Reply

Jaime Pressly is just not having a good year. And it’s only January. Earlier this month, she was arrested on a DUI charge. Now, we’ve found out that she may owe $637,000 in Federal and state taxes.

Ouch!

Don’t these celebs ever learn? You just can’t mess with Uncle Sam!
Guess Pressly hadn’t heard that motto because it seems that the IRS has filed a $260,370 tax lien filed against her on December 6, which was added to a prior lien for $281,699 filed on September 8.

And those two liens are adds-on to a $95,080 lien filed by the State of California.

Hope she gets a lot of residual earnings from those old My Name Is Earl reruns because she may have to pay big brother each and every penny of the back taxes. Good luck girl, good luck!

Regis Philbin “Retired” Due To Impending Pay Cut?

Posted on by
Reply

Regis Philbin didn’t give up his day job on Live with Regis and Kelly because he wants to start enjoying his retirement.

Far from it. He quit over money.

Per TMZ, Regis was told by the higher ups at the show that they were going to cut his salary when his contract expired because the show was not doing as well as before. 
Per TMZ, Regis’ current contract nets him $18-20 million and Regis did not want a pay cut. 
This should get interesting – we will have to wait and see if the show will meet Regis’ demands to keep him on the show, if Regis goes on to another show, or if he simply walks peacefully into the retirement sunset.

I don’t have any idea other than the obvious as to what is or could be going on here.

But after it became clear that the Pittsburgh Steelers had beaten the NY Jets in Sunday’s AFC Championship Game, Steelers’ Rashard Mendenhall celebrated by humping quarterback Ben Roethlisberger for no apparent reason.

God I love the NFL.

VIDEO CLIP OF THE DAY.

The Jets may have lost the AFC Championship Sunday to the Pittsburgh Steelers, but the biggest loser of them all ended up being the Jets’ player standing next to quarterback Mark Sanchez.

Watch Sanchez pick his nose and rub the booger on the unsuspecting player/victim by his side, aka, Mark Brunell.

Wow. Seriously dude? I understand if no tissues were around at the time of your pickin’, but to not even use your own clothes to rub one out seems just plain wrong!

Isn’t there some man rule against this type of battery?  Can’t wait till the dude next to Mark watches this video. Mark, you’re gonna have some explainin’ to do!
