Oprah has inked a deal with Discovery Communication to launch her own cable channel called OWN-Oprah Winfrey Network. Discovery Health Channel will evolve into OWN in 2009 and simulcast in High Definition. Someone needs to put this woman’s face on a $100 bill. She’s unstoppable.

  • http://www.viewparkonline.com Angie

    Congratulations for her. She’s over 50 and not slowing down a bit.

    Loooooove that dress.

  • jazzyphile

    There is already too much Pope’rah. She on TV already 24/7, on XM satelite radio 24/7 with Oprah and Friends, the magaine “O”, and who knows what else. She’s already over saturated

    Now a network with her big head. I’m okay with Oprah to a degree, but enough is enough. Just because you can do something, does not mean you should do. I could walk down the street in a speedo with flip flops on, but maybe I should not.

  • Bones Jordan, Paige’s man

    @ Island Gal, yeah pretty much. No lol either. That’s real.

  • Keepin’ It Real (D’Original)

    @Island Gal,

    What would you like Oprah to do with her money?

    I’m just curious…

    It’s her money she can do what she wants with the money she’s earned, in my opinion…

    Would you like people to tell you how to spend your hard earned money, regardless of how much you make/made?

    Oprah’s a Media & Enterntainment Mogul and knows that the public eye is on her and she obviously donates a lot of money into various charities and respectable organizations throughout the world and not just in America…

    So in line, and in addition to my first question: What would you do if you had Oprah’s wealth?

  • Just Sit And Be Pretty

    I love Oprah, you know a bunch of folks are sitting somewhere gnashing their teeth right about now!!

  • Ki££aßeeSwarm™©®

    @Just Sit And Be Pretty

    Or they turning in their graves.

  • elle

    wow she’s made herself a wealthy woman. I wonder if how she feels about not having children (considering she can).

    her name and bucks stop with her blood.

    she’s really did herself well though….

    and if she’s happy she may have figured this mess out.

  • http://gorgeousblackwomen.blogspot.com GorgeousBlackWomen

    What she needed to do is make sure than Bad Girl’s Club never sees light of day. I applaud her achievements, but that show features some Flav and NY level coonery.

  • Bigal

    Miss. Winfred turned herself into a global media empire and she did it without degrading her people the way Mr. Johnson did at BET.

  • AND…

    Yes indeed. LOL.^^^^^^^^^^

  • ISLAND GAL

    @ keeping it real

    she can do what she want to do with her money etc.

    all i am saying is that people just worship her,she is this, she is that , and what kills me the most is she is first black billionaire so what and life goes on. also she is not the only one thats in the public eye and donates to charity, there are people that has less money than oprah and donates more.

    oprah oprah oprah oprah plz

  • nico

    I HEART OPRAH!

  • AND…

    @Bigal

    Co-sign, and yet her own ppl are the main ones who dog her out. I guess if she was half neckkid, shaking her ass, using the N-word, playing the sax (for the Bill Clinton lovers), and cussing she would be a good role model. Sometimes I understand why other races look down on black ppl so much. I’m just glad we have ppl like her, Obama, Tyra, Denzel, Hill Harper, Rev Run, Tyler Perry, Mary J. Blige (the real one) and others that give them a taste of what else we can do.

    ***************************************

    All the things you mentioned above are postive attributes and yet you dislike her for doing good things. Interested…stupid, but interesting non-the-least.

  • Afiya

    Good for her…make that paper…but I think it will be as boring as her magazine *yawn*

  • ISLAND GAL

    @ AND

    i have to laugh at what you say

    you are funny

    i am not at all touch nor i am offened by your comment you are entitle to opinion

    FYI … i not a millionaire nor a billionaire

    but i am sure living comfortable life

    i dont want for anything

    have a wonderful day AND

  • AND…

    @ISLAND GAL

    I’m glad you are not offended. That would only prove that you are immature and can’t handle an adult conversation. You have a good day too. :)

  • ISLAND GAL

    @ AND

    i see you are very interesting in my comments

    lololo

    move on move on

  • nico

    Oh @Island Gal..maybe if you got off the island and went global you would realize some things:

    1.oprah is for PEOPLE, black, white whoever

    2. her audience is primarily white, because black women are at work trying to maintain for their families…many of us dont have the luxury of disposable incomes from our husbands to be in someones audience during the middle of the day!

    3. Her staff is not all white but is like any other staff in corporate America. Lets compare college graduation rates and then ask where all the “black” people are.

    4. Who said she was a savior? but real talk..she probably is saving alot of people from some crazy stuff, i.e. domestic violence, did you see the show?

    5. And guess what when you make money regardless of how much it is, you choose what to do with it..point blank period.

    Broke people, with broken minds kill me!

  • BostonBitty

    good for O. I just hope her channel has more blacks in it than her mag does. buts that’s her perogative. She obvi has the cake making fomula down pact. We need more oh her

  • ISLAND GAL

    nico

    shut up

    bye i have to go

    i dont live in the island, just a name

    take care everyone

  • imrightdammit

    Damn. The rich get richer. But she worked hard and did it the RIGHT way, without complaining about white people, and how she grew up, and all the other reasons Black people give as to why they CAN’T do something. Good job, Okra!

  • binary star

    It’s called OWN? That’s just flagrant.

  • Nation

    I love Oprah!!! We are from the same state. Her success shows what can be accomplished with hard work and determination. Class act all the way. Love the magazine too Oprah. Just renewed my subscription.

    Why does Oprah keep wearing those gone with the wind type dresses.

  • http://www.blacksupermodel.blogspot.com chic noir

    I thought she owned the oxygen channel.

  • IHeartthaMotherland

    That woman is full of BS. She seems to have a pretty perfect image but that is because she limits what people know about her and because she act “white”. Some of her family member have tried to write books (tell all) about her and she has done everything in her power to stop them. This chick has something very dark in her past that would probably ruin her. She probably wants to make sure white women never find out she smoked weed as a kid or that she likes chicken and watermelon. Don’t believe the hype people.

  • Blok

    @chic noir…cuz she like’em now get off her damn nuts!

    But yo, I can’t lie, I try to hate on Oprah and all the crakka apeasery she does on show, but she’s got her business on lock so…power to ya O!

  • eat this

    That dress is WoW!

  • Blok

    @Motherland

    Could you look at it like this? She’s a public figure so in public she is going to be the woman she should be, which is a great leader, businesswoman, speaker and all the other good things that she does in public. In private she is who she is and why should we fault her for her own personal demons? You have them, I have them, it’s life no one is perfect and I don’t understand why we expect these public figures to be perfect in front of and behind the camera. It’s impossible.

    I never understood why someone would want to attack another person on a level in which they themselves are not privy to be apart of. You, just like the millions of other people who “follow” her (for the lack of a better word), don’t really know this woman and until you befriend her, which probably won’t happen you never will. So you can read all the tell all books you want but remember that’s just their interpretation of a situation. No one has live 50+ years as Oprah or understands all of her motives and it’s very unfair for you to believe that you do simply because you read her magazine or watch her TV show. It’s all a show.

    @Kami…What do you own?

    Last I checked half was better than none.

    Quit it with the crab in the barrel mentality.

  • imrightdammit

    @Kami. Oprah OWNS Harpo Studios COMPLETELY. And you probably don’t own a damn thing so how you can put down a self-made Black woman BILLIONAIRE is beyond me. Educate yourself and work hard and then maybe you can own something one day.

  • Lili

    YES Oprah, YES! This woman is the epitome of success. Put her name on every damn thing. She’ll be worth 5 billion in her lifetime…I bet you.

    ————————————————–

    Now if we can get the young ladies to pay her some attention and learn. Instead of watching New York and Superhead.

    She might brainwash folks, but she is powerful enough to make book bestsellers by mentioning them on her show. And think how much publicity she got by being bashed on Married With Children for 11 years? People that don’t know a thing about her can recite every joke Al made about her.

    Amazing…Someone saw she had a personal blog on Interracialloves.com with her hot pictures and blogs. It’s a private site for diversely ethnic singles. The blog is updated very often. I think it may be ture.

  • Maclin

    I hope this is one of her good business moves. She has made some horrible decisions lately, but she gets the free pass. First she got Dr Phil his tv show and then she went out of her way to promote that book written by that liar. She introduced us to that Doctor that did the surgery for Kanyes mom and she hired people that mistreated he students in africa. I hope her last decision won’t turn out like these. It doesn’t matter though.

  • tj

    @ Kami

    Ho sit down

    Oprah owns harpo. If you read the article you would see that she will own 50% of this new endeavor that’s more than Bill Gates owns in Microsoft. Also you don’t own networks anymore. Conglomerates and cooporations have boards but are mostly owned by publically traded companies CBS, MTV, VH1, and BET are owned by viacom. NBC general electric ABC, ESPN etc Disney corp.

    My point Oprah owns more than most. And who are these phantom rich black people of whom you speak. Oprah is now the richest black person in America boo check forbes (and yes she did pass Robert Johnson this year)

    @ tj….pretty good insight! I like!

  • Lyn

    It’s sad how other Blacks want to put O down. Leave that woman alone and stop trying to “dig up” shyte from her past that may not even exist. It’s almost like if one melanin-enriched person hits it big all the others and sitting around rolling their eyes and talking smack and saying things like “Oprah acts White”. Puleezee… Oprah acts “successful” and like she has some sense. The bottom line is Oprah doesn’t have a “slave mentality” like many Blacks here and those with that sick and retroactive thinking are jealous and want to go and “tell Massuh dat Oprah dun tryin to run off again to huh freedoms”. *eye roll*

    Weak.

    If MLK can be critized (and he took a bullet), so can Pope’rah. If anyone should be treated as a Saint (and no man or woman should), it should be the former, not the latter.
