 Oprah Winfrey (1954)Winfrey is an internationally-known celebrity noted for her highly influential talk show as well as for her philanthropy.

I object to the use of the "word" orientated even in connection with tabloid. The word is oriented.

I have similar qualms with "could care less" folks. If you could care less, it means there is some level of care to begin with...but, personally, I don't care. Not really. In fact, I couldn't care less. Oh, yeah. Oprah seems real nice. Happy birthday, you nice, rich, and good-intentioned lady!

When the Oprah Winfrey show was first on TV
I Really liked it! But soon it just became a Show for Women!
Who started Bashing Men!!!!
Also when a African American was a Guest!
She introduced them!
As My Sister and Brother!
But when a White Guest was on she just introduced them by name!
She has also started her Own Religion!!
I Belive she is the Biggest Prejudessed and Biggoted Women!!
How much has she Donated to the Haitians because of their Disaster???
I am so glad as others I know have finally decided to get off the Her Show this Year!!
She is one of the worlds women Billionaires!!
