I like Oprah but only because of her charity work, which I don't think she should hide.

Oprah does anything but hide her charity work, infact she makes entire shows out of it. Dont get me wrong its good to increase awareness which is what she is doing, but she does toot her own horn a little too often

Too true.

I pretty much lose respect towards anybody who brags about their "charity work".

i can't stand the woman! i never watch shows like hers since mike walsh left(showing me age now). i prefer to watch days of our lives than oprah! to much saga on will she lose weight or put it on and how much she gets in a year. waste of air time.

I lost it with Oprah when she started to say it was her 'mission in life' to do good deeds for those less fortunate than herself.  She now sees herself as 'Gods gift to humanity' and it undermines her credibility, especially as she has no clue what Gods purpose is. She is deciding for herself what, when, how she does good work. They are all her ideas and God has nothing to do with them.

I watch about 10% of her shows now. Only if they don't have her espousing her charities and her goodness do I watch it. Only when she has serious important issues like missing children, paedophiles, school murders, health issues and stuff like that do I watch it. I did see recently two of the best shows ever though of hers. One had Seal (the singer) and his beautiful wife Heidi Klum on it. What a beautiful couple. This man is super sexy and english and loves his wife and children to bits. A couple of others were on as well including Stevie Wonder and his wife although Stevie didn't appear in the studio. All wonderful couples talking about their love and family and marriages. It was just so inspiring. The other show was last week when Jerry Seinfeld was on being interviewed about his new movie called "Bee Movie" an animated movie which looks like so much fun. I love how gooey Jerry is around his beautiful wife. Those shows are the one's I enjoy the most on Oprah.

I have seen some promos for this movie. It may get its own thread around here soon 'coz it looks like a great fun film.  

I like her, I guess. No strong feelings negative or positive.

Oprah is just a polished professional and I have to admire her for her achievements.  She is a word, a culture and whatever else you care to call her.
