  • Oprah Winfrey tours the devastation in New Orleans. Amazingly, she's still denied from Hermès on Canal Street. They really don't like her. [USA Today]

  • Are you ready for some football? I think you are because ESPN's preseason ratings have been up 28%. [Mediaweek]

  • Speaking of football, Kanye West promises he'll stick to music on tomorrow's NFL season opener concert. In other news, he'll be premiering his new song, "I HATE GEORGE BUSH." [AP]

  • Surreal Life cast member Jose Canseco is making a bid to be America's next new action star. Awesome! If only it were 1988. [Los Angeles Times]

  • Program your Tivos. Martha Stewart to appear on Letterman next week. [Hollywood Reporter]

  • More information on "Emmy Idol." Aside from Kristen Bell and William Shatner, other performers include Megan Mullally, Gary Dourdan, Macy Gray, and... Donald Trump? Best worst idea EVER! [AP]

  • If you missed Big Brother last night, you were in the minority. Janelle's veto-winning performance was the most watched show of the night. [Hollywood Reporter via Yahoo]

Hope you got to check out that Oprah episode... a complete eye-opener.

joslyn:

Yeah, that Oprah was a tear jerker. Part II was today. Here in Chicago, they rerun Oprah at 11:00 at night for those of us that work during the day and miss it, so I will be sure to check it out. Uhh, B-Side, what's with that old-ass picture of Oprah? Don't do my girl like that-can you use a picture from this decade please? :)

lovin the gasm:

josyln,
