Stypid, stupid, stupid Hermes.

If I owned that store I would be livid. "You said what to Oprah? I'm going to dock your pay for the profit I would have made on that watch!" Okay, I wouldn't really say that.

I don't hate her. I just grew tired of the preachiness. And I caught a bit of the rerun of the Cruise show and my yes, she kissed his ass. His answers to her even mildly direct questions were vapid, to say the very least. And she didn't even call him on it.

Remember, don't answer the phone then

I don't work normal hours, so it wouldn't be a problem.

Now this friend of yours, is it a man, is he straight, and is he single? These are the important questions.

She came from nothing and for that you've got to admire the woman. Was her speech that "Do what you love and you'll get rich like me" thing? And she charges like $200 for it? That's the kind of thing I can't stand.

You know the higher ups have got to be pissed. They have a very select clientele and this is certainly not the kind of press they need.

I don't hate her, I just find her disingenuous about many things and I don't like how she exploits her guests. Explain to me what is classy about having a victim of molestation confront her molester on your show. I liked her years ago when she produced real quality shows about racism, economic oppression, and stuff like that. Stuff that was important, not hour-long shows about her 50th birthday party or an hour dedicated to kissing the asses of Tom Cruise/Katie Holmes and Will Ferrell/Nicole Kidman. She started to believe her own hype and took it too far, imo.

lol no it wasn't like that at all. It was an industry convention - and she received an award - so it was basically a thank you speech - but she gave a really inspiring speech about how getting the award was a "full cirlce" moment in her life...she talked about some of her career milestones when she did news...I was totally inspired after seeing her

That's cool.

She's definitely a good role model for women in broadcasting.

That was probably a Dr. Phil suggestion.
