If you tuned into Oprah yesterday, you'd see just how true the statement "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" is. Mara Schiavocampo of NBC news traveled around the word to find out how different cultures define beauty. She discovered that big butts and ankles are considered beautiful in Mauritania, a perfect nose is ideal for Iranian women, and straight hair and pale skin is what Japanese women go to great lengths to achieve.

Jennifer Aniston sat down with her good friend Oprah yesterday to talk about her December Vogue article, her new movie, and of course, her love life. She went on to squash some of the never-ending rumors, but she also voluntarily stated that she considers herself to be lucky in love, even though it may not look how it's supposed to!
Love is multifaceted and while it's easier for some to find than others, I do think there are certain people that just get lucky in that way.

Between her postelection special and her hilarious appearance on 30 Rock, Oprah Winfrey had a pretty huge week last week. But there was one big rumor swirling toward the end of it: that Oprah might quit her talk show in 2011 to focus on starting her TV network.
Oprah's current contract expires in Fall 2011, but her production company, Harpo, said no decision has been made about whether to continue the show beyond that.

I know I don't usually recap 30 Rock around here, but after this week's episode — which featured a guest appearance from Oprah — I figured there was no better time to talk about the show.

Oprah Winfrey opened her post-election special wearing a "Hope Won" shirt, screaming into the camera, and waving her American flag. Exuberant and proud, she told viewers who supported John McCain that while she understands their disappointment, they should know that if Obama did not win, she would have been in the hospital. Although she made an exception to make her presidential choice public this year, Oprah did not use her hit show as a political platform.

Does Oprah's Endorsement Make You Want a Kindle More? In case you missed it, Oprah announced that Amazon's Kindle was her new faaaaaavorite gadget on her show on Friday. Now, when Oprah says something is her favorite, people don't just acknowledge it — they respond with consumer glee, often selling out that product.

In case you missed it, Oprah announced that Amazon's Kindle was her new faaaaaavorite gadget on her show on Friday. Now, when Oprah says something is her favorite, people don't just acknowledge it — they respond with consumer glee, often selling out that product (I bitterly recall not being able to get sold-out things like the Clarisonic or Uggs because of their placement on Oprah's favorite things show).
So I'm really curious to see what Oprah's fans make of her endorsement of the Kindle, whose popularity has been moderate but not mind-blowing; will the exalted O's influence introduce a new audience to the eBook reader?
