Many were amazed by Barack Obama’s speech last night, Oprah especially:

“I cried my eyelashes off,” she said in the bowels of Invesco Field, moments after Obama accepted the nomination for president before an estimated 84,000 people. “I think it’s the most powerful thing I have ever experienced,” she added, calling Obama’s words “transcendent.” On the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I have a Dream Speech,” Winfrey compared Obama’s words to those of the civil-rights leader, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.

“He’s not an African-American candidate,” she said. “He’s a candidate for Americans.” Winfrey threw her support behind Obama early — even before the Democratic primaries got under way last year. She’s stayed active since, hosting rallies and fundraisers that even Obama has acknowledged have given him a boost.

Estelle discusses groupies, he-hoes, and not sleeping with John Legend:

“Stop insulting me with that. It’s like I couldn’t have got where I am because I do good work? You lot have seen me hustle and struggle, so if someone comes along and is appreciative of my talent, guy or girl… I’m supposed to sleep with them? We’re good friends and that’s as far as it goes. Have respect for me and for him because, obviously, he wouldn’t have signed me if I was sleeping with him. Not a lot of groupies get signed. To me that’s borderline disrespectful. He appreciates my talent.”

She reveals she gets male groupies she calls ‘He-Hoes’. She laughed: “They’ll come out and say, ‘Yeah babe I really respect you.’ Then they’re also like, ‘The beautiful Estelle’ and I’m like, ‘Erh what do you want?’ And they’ll go on, ‘I have seen you a lot…’ and I’m like, ‘Because I’m a rapper and a singer and I’m on TV?’ “It’s funny. I’m like, ‘Yeah cool, nice to meet you. You don’t need my number. You really don’t. I don’t have a UK phone. I don’t live here anyway.’”

Who ever said she was sleeping with John Legend?? We all know how he gets down...

Estelle denies that receord label execs asked her her to soften up her “tomboy” steez:

[Estelle] was reportedly asked by chiefs at John Legend’s new label Homeschool Records to fix her teeth and alter her hair. But the star admits it was her choice to get braces for her teeth, insisting her label is impressed with her image. She says, ‘They know me. I came with a look. I came with my style and they were grateful. They were like, ‘Thank God we don’t got to worry about putting you in a pair of pants or giving you a weave.’ ‘I think because I got braces everyone said the label said it. I been trying to get braces since 2000 and I finally did it.”

We applaud her effort to step up her femininity, but perhaps we can suggest she wear that retainer a little while longer.

John Legend says he only has eyes for his boo Christine after he was spotted out with another chick earlier this week:

“It is entirely false and he finds it offensive that his girlfriend has to read such lies. I am still happily dating my girlfriend, Christine Teigen, and have been for about a year now. Maria Menounos is just an acquaintance and we were having a friendly drink.”

Those “friendly drinks” sure are fun.

John Legend is taking a break from modelizing to warm up with sultry “ET” host Maria Menounos. The former Miss Teen USA was spotted with Legend at the Carlyle Monday night, “enjoying a romantic dinner. They looked very cozy and it definitely seemed to be a date.”
