According to Amazon.com, Kelley's book is now no.19 for Pre-Orders.

Isn't Oprah the Host who always proclaims to be "so open" with her fans?

Well...

Looks like girlfriend didn't share everything!

John Tesh Confirms He Once Dated Oprah Winfrey


John Tesh acknowledged Monday that he and Oprah Winfrey were once an item - one of the juicy tidbits in a new tell-all biography about the talk show queen.

"Oprah and I were cub reporters in Nashville nearly 40 years ago and we dated for a short time," Tesh told the News, which first reported the story on Sunday.

The odd pairing is revealed in Kitty Kelley's "Oprah," which hits bookshelves Tuesday.

Exclusive excerpts obtained by the News said Winfrey and the New Age musician were live-in-lovers during the 1970s when they both lived in Nashville.

The book claims Tesh bolted in the middle of the night because of the "social pressure" of being half of an interracial couple.

Neither Tesh, 57, nor Winfrey, 56, would comment on Kelley's claim.

The much-anticipated book says that Winfrey mentioned Tesh during a 1996 taping of her show - but copped only to a platonic dinner date.

"We remain friends to this day," Tesh told the News.




Kitty Kelley's Tell-All Book Reveals John Tesh Bolted On Lover Oprah Winfrey


Before Oprah loved Stedman, there was John Tesh.

An exclusive excerpt from Kitty Kelley's upcoming tell-all Oprah Winfrey biography claims the talk-show queen enjoyed a 1970s romance with an unlikely live-in lover: John Tesh.

The towering 6-foot-6 Tesh and a barely out-of-her-teens Winfrey shared her Nashville apartment until he bolted in the middle of the night, according to the first-ever look inside the book, obtained by the Daily News.

According to Kelley, the "social pressure" on an interracial couple in Tennessee at that time proved too much for Tesh to handle.

"He said one night he looked down and saw his white body next to her black body and couldn't take it anymore," another Tesh ex-paramour told Kelley.

"He walked out in the middle of the night. ... He told me he later felt very guilty about it."

Winfrey spokeswoman Angela DePaul said Saturday that Oprah was not commenting on the highly anticipated book. A phone call and an e-mail to Tesh's spokespeople were not returned.

The book, due out Tuesday, already ranks No. 19 on the Amazon.com best sellers list based on pre-orders.

Tesh worked in Nashville at the same time as Winfrey during the mid-'70s.

Future media mogul Winfrey was just 20 when she joined the staff at WTVF-TV in Nashville. Tesh was a news anchor and future "Wheel of Fortune" host Pat Sajak was a weatherman at rival WSM.

Kelley - best known for her withering biographies of Frank Sinatra, Nancy Reagan and Elizabeth Taylor, among others - said the pair lived together "for a short time" before Tesh's midnight moveout.

By 1976, both had moved on - Winfrey to Baltimore, and Tesh to WCBS-TV in New York.

Both went on to bigger and better things: Tesh hosted "Entertainment Tonight" from 1986-1996 before leaving the show to become a full-time New Age musician.

The six-time Emmy winner now hosts his own nationally syndicated radio show, has written a number of books and continues to tour.

Kelley mentions that Tesh appeared with Winfrey on the 10th anniversary of her show in 1996, with Oprah claiming the pair shared one platonic dinner date.

Tesh is married to actress Connie Sellecca, while Winfrey remains connected to longtime beau Stedman Graham.

The excerpt also references Winfrey's mid-'70s fondness for junk food - especially chocolate Ding Dongs - and a local restaurant called The Chicken Shack.

Winfrey and co-anchor Harry Chapman would dine on the spicy chicken, seasoned with cayenne pepper and Tabasco sauce, between weekend newscasts, according to Kelley.

Monique Interviews Antoine Fuqua & Wesley Snipes Of "Brooklyn's Finest"

Antoine Fuqua Talks "Brooklyn's Finest"


Antoine Fuqua is like the Phil Jackson of Hollywood.

Like the famed NBA coach, Fuqua has coached some of the best players in Tinseltown, including leading Hollywood MVP Denzel Washington to the Academy Awards promised land for his work in "Training Day," a film that Fuqua directed. A former music video director -- the 43-year-old shot videos for the likes of Prince, Toni Braxton and Stevie Wonder -- he's since transformed his career into that of a successful Hollywood director. His path, as these stories go, wasn't a straight shot, either. The former West Virginia University point guard had to fall out of love with hoops in order to pursue his real dream -- making movies. Fuqua scores again with cop thriller "Brooklyn's Finest," which opens Friday, and chats with Page 2 about his hoop dreams, working with some of the finest actors of our time and why he walked away from an athletic scholarship after playing for two years.

I read that basketball changed your life. How so?

You know, just the discipline of playing ball. For me, playing basketball was something I used to do every day in Pittsburgh, I had to practice hard. I'm just 6-foot, so I'm not the tallest cat on the court. I had to hone in on my game -- even in the winter when it was cold outside and the YMCA or the Boys Club was closed, I had to go outside on the court. I learned discipline and work ethic. It kept me off the street and got me a scholarship and got me in college. It taught me how to be a team player.

What position did you play at West Virginia?

Point guard.

Interesting. That's actually a fitting role for a film director …

I know, right?

So how have you applied that point guard background to filmmaking?

I'm competitive. I watch other films and I'm competitive in that way. The energy that you give off, everybody feeds off you. As a director, you walk onto a set and people are going to react off of you. If you're strong and you're leading them, they'll follow. But if you come into the game and you're weak, it's going to become chaos. And the end result is that you won't win. Trust the leadership -- call the right plays. Just like in basketball when that last shot can be the one to win the game, it's the same in filmmaking. When the clock is counting down -- or in my case, the sun is going down as a director -- and sometimes that last shot can be the one and when you get in the editing bay, that's what nails the scene.

Do you follow any teams now? Which ones and why?

I watch them all -- football, basketball and a little bit of baseball. I love the Lakers right now, they have a good team, well-rounded team. Kobe is exciting; he's that guy that always comes through in the clutch. He's built that way; it's in his DNA. I love watching guys that have that killer mentality, that killer instinct.

What made you pick filmmaking over sports?

I took a Baroque art class and fell in love. I always loved art, but didn't know how to express that. There was a moment in my career playing ball where I wasn't having fun. It wasn't fun. It was a strange change that was happening in the business. I remember Nike bought us a whole bunch of tennis shoes and we put on black and white tuxedos and Nike shoes and were at the governor's mansion and taking pictures. It was weird. It was the beginning of that thing, but it was weird to me. I wasn't having fun. I had so much fun growing up and playing ball on the court as a kid, but I wasn't having fun playing in college. I kind of felt like if you're not having fun -- even if you're good at it, how long are you going to last, really? For a while, I couldn't watch it. I loved it, I wanted to play. I wanted to be in the pros. But I just couldn't do it anymore."

Was the squad pretty good when you were there?

Yeah. We did all right. We went to the playoffs one year. It was a pretty good team.

As a director, you've coached Denzel to his Oscar in "Training Day," coached Ethan Hawke to an Oscar nomination for that same film and in this new movie, you directed Don Cheadle, Richard Gere, Hawke and Wesley Snipes -- some pretty heavy hitters. Any regrets now about leaving the game and not pursing that childhood dream of playing professionally?

Had I done that, it would have been long over by now! That career would have been gone a long time ago.

This film is an underdog, of sorts. It's got an R-rating, and it's going up against "Alice In Wonderland" this week. That said, do you always root for the underdog?

I do. That's why I make movies like this, too. It's all about the abuse of power in an administration. The guys that are out in the field playing and working hard are bleeding. I like that. I like the common man that is on the ground and things that he can't really control. Sometimes, you can beat it if you make the right decisions, and sometimes it can chew you up and spit you out, which we've seen many times in sports, as well. I like the underdog, absolutely. Plus I need to feel that way. It pisses me off and keeps me fighting. You can't get lost in L.A. and in the sunshine. You can't drink the kool-aid. If I did that, I'd end up back in Pittsburgh, playing basketball on the black top in the cold weather.

Oprah decides to end show "after much prayer"


Holding back tears, Oprah Winfrey told her studio audience Friday that she would end her show in 2011 after a quarter-century on the air, saying prayer and careful thought led her to her decision.

Winfrey told the audience that she loved “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” that it had been her life and that she knew when it was time to say goodbye. “Twenty-five years feels right in my bones and feels right in my spirit,” she said.

Winfrey talked about being nervous when the program began in 1986 and thanked audiences who had invited her into their homes and lives over the past two decades.

“I certainly never could have imagined the yellow brick road of blessings that have led me to this moment,” she said.

The powerhouse show became the foundation for her multibillion-dollar media empire, but in the last year, has seen its ratings slip 7 percent. Winfrey, 55, is widely expected to start up a new talk show on OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network, a much-delayed 50-50 joint venture with Discovery Communications Inc. that is projected to debut in January 2011. OWN is to replace the Discovery Health Channel and will debut in some 80 million homes.

Winfrey offered no specifics about her plans for the future, except to say that she intended to produce the best possible shows during her last 18 months on the air.

“Over this holiday break, my team and I will be brainstorming new ways that we can entertain you and inform you and uplift you when we return here in January,” she said. “And then, season 25 — we are going to knock your socks off.”

CBS Television Distribution, which distributes the show to more than 200 U.S. markets, held out hope it could continue doing business with Winfrey, perhaps producing a new show out of its studios in Los Angeles.

“We know that anything she turns her hand to will be a great success,” the CBS Corp. unit said in a statement. “We look forward to working with her for the next several years, and hopefully afterwards as well.”

Many fans heading into Harpo Studios on Friday morning seemed to support Winfrey’s decision.

“It’s time to elevate to something new,” said Sandra Donaldson, 59, of Indianapolis. “Whatever she does is going to be a blessing. It’s going to be rewarding and eye-opening. Her name alone opens doors.”

Once a local Chicago morning program, the production evolved into television’s top-rated talk show for more than two decades, airing in 145 countries worldwide and watched by an estimated 42 million viewers a week in the U.S. alone.

Audience members described the atmosphere inside the studio Friday as tense and emotional, with some reaching for tissues as Winfrey announced her decision. But amid the sadness, there also was understanding among the crowd, Donaldson said afterward.

“When I looked around, there was a peace there, because I like to think everybody was happy for her decision to move on,” she said.

Fans expressed hope that Winfrey would soon announce another project.

“Oprah, she impacts everybody, her life, the way she gives,” said Shawana Fletcher, 29, of Chicago. “I hope she’s not totally done. That’s what we’re praying.”

Winfrey’s 24th season opened this year with a bang, as she drew more than 20,000 fans to Chicago’s Magnificent Mile for a block party with the Black Eyed Peas. She followed with a series of blockbuster interviews — Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield, Whitney Houston and ESPN’s Erin Andrews, and just this week, former Alaska governor and GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

As a newcomer, “The Oprah Winfrey Show” chipped away at talk-show king Phil Donahue’s dominance. Later, it turned to inspiration. The show’s coverage ranged from interviews with the world’s celebrities to an honest discussion about Winfrey’s weight struggles.

In 1986, pianist-showman Liberace gave his final TV interview to Winfrey, just six weeks before he died. In a 1993 prime-time special, Michael Jackson revealed he suffered from a skin condition that produces depigmentation. Tom Cruise enthusiastically declared his affection for the much-younger Katie Holmes on the program in 2005 — and jumped on the couch to prove it.

In 2004, Winfrey unveiled her most famous giveaway, when nearly 300 members of the studio audience opened a gift box to find the keys to a new car inside. The stunt became a classic show moment as much for Winfrey’s reaction — “You get a car! You get a car! You get a car! Everybody gets a car!” — as its $7 million price tag.

The show also became a launching pad for Oprah’s Book Club, which then launched best-sellers. The titles ranged from “Song of Solomon” and “Paradise” by Toni Morrison to Wally Lamb’s “She’s Come Undone” and Elie Wiesel’s “Night.”

For others, the selection backfired. “A Million Little Pieces” exploded in sales after Winfrey chose the James Frey memoir in fall 2005. Soon after, it was revealed as a fabricated tale of addiction and recovery, and Winfrey later chewed out Frey on her show.

The loss of “The Oprah Winfrey Show” would be a blow to CBS Corp., which earns a percentage of hefty licensing fees from TV stations that use it — largely ABC affiliates. CBS Chief Executive Leslie Moonves told analysts two weeks ago that the contract with the show runs through most of 2011 and “if there’s a negative impact, it wouldn’t hit us until ’12.”

“Oprah’s been a force of media and there’s really no person you can look to out there who you could say, ‘That’s the heir apparent,”’ said Larry Gerbrandt, an analyst for Media Valuation Partners in Los Angeles. Gerbrandt noted many stations build their schedules around Winfrey’s show.

“It’s a big loss, but not as huge as it would have been 10 years ago,” he said. “However, it still commands the biggest audience and ABC station competitors are licking their chops.”

Talk of the show’s end often has accompanied Winfrey’s contract negotiations. Before signing her current contract in 2004, she talked about quitting after the 2005-2006 season. As far back as 1995, she called continuing “a difficult and important decision.”

Winfrey started her broadcasting career in Nashville, Tenn., and Baltimore, Md., before relocating to Chicago in 1984 to host WLS-TV’s morning talk show “A.M. Chicago” — which became “The Oprah Winfrey Show” one year later. She set up Harpo the following year and her talk show went into syndication.

In the late afternoon, the show is well above others in the same time slot, with 6.8 million viewers on average in the last couple months, compared with “Dr. Phil” with 3.8 million, “Ellen” at 2.8 million and “Dr. Oz” with 3.5 million, according to The Nielsen Co.

Even with such a lead, her ratings have been falling over the years, with an average audience cut in half from 12.6 million in 1991-92 to 6.2 million in 2008-2009.

Winfrey built a media empire powered by the show’s success. Harpo Studios produces shows hosted by Dr. Phil McGraw and celebrity chef Rachael Ray. O, The Oprah Magazine was the nation’s 7th most popular magazine in the first half of 2009.

Earlier this year, Forbes scored Winfrey’s net worth at $2.7 billion.

Oprah Bows Out Gracefully...Last Show Scheduled To Air Sept. 9, 2011

Reports: Oprah to End Talk Show in 2011


According to several reports, Oprah Winfrey will announce tomorrow that she is ending her talk show in 2011. The show, reportedly, will bow out Sept. 9, 2011, the last day of Oprah's current contract. It bears mentioning that there have been announcements and reports that the Queen of Talk would hang it up in the past; in 2002, her plan was to end the show in 2006.

Word is, however, that Oprah will say tomorrow that she is ending her syndicated show in 2011 to focus on OWN, her cable network. Assuming she means it this time, what does this mean for talk TV?

As I say, I'll believe the end of Oprah as a TV broadcaster when I see it. Oprah may be ending her syndication deal, which is rough for her syndicator, CBS TV Distribution. (The New York Times says she is not bringing her show to cable.) But if Oprah Winfrey decides at any time henceforth that she wants to have a TV show, are you going to refuse her one?

That said, it would make a certain sense for Oprah to hang it up while she's still on top. Her ratings have been declining—with syndicated TV at large—in recent years. She has shown over and over again that she's still relevant and can drive the national conversation, as when she hosted Sarah Palin this week and drew her biggest ratings in two years. But if she doesn't want to ride the declining ratings of syndicated TV to the bottom, this would be a good time to make her cable move.

That would, of course, leave an Oprah-sized hole in the daytime firmament for someone to fill: Dr. Phil, Tyra Banks, a player to be named later, etc. Oprah has so dominated daytime for the last couple decades that the daytime audience could be ready for a new star to show up.

Or stars. I'd have to doubt whether any single person can have the wide impact in so many areas that Oprah did. For starters, forget TV: the end of her book club deprives publishers and authors of their biggest outlet, a forum that can break a book nationally in one shot. (She suspended her club for a while earlier this decade, giving publishers palpitations.) She's had effects in pop culture, in spirituality, in product placement and arguably even in politics.

Oprah—if we are entering a post-Oprah era—could be another Johnny Carson or Ed Sullivan: one of the mass aggregators whose like we just won't see again. It could be that the next Oprah will be several Oprahs, specializing, spread across several shows. In the meantime, we'll have to see what she announces about her future plans: for all we know, some of those next Oprahs may just be working for her.
