Don't invite Oprah Winfrey and Natalie Portman to the same party. The rumor is that talk show queen and very pregnant Oscar winner are on the outs.
Reports say Portman was supposed to be a part of Oprah's After Oscar show but cancelled just two hours before her appearance. The actress said she was "pregnant and exhausted."
However, in a behind-the-scenes episode of her talk show, Oprah appeared to be very understanding about the whole thing.
But a source say there has already been bad blood between Natalie and Oprah, for a while now.
When Natalie was scheduled to promote her movie "Closer" back in 2004, she thought she would be appearing solo.....but that was not the case! Oprah's show scheduled both of Natalie's co-stars to share the spotlight.
Word has it, when Natalie had a fit about not appearing solo, Oprah vowed never to have her back.
Oprah's show has been on since 1986 and 25 years later she is saying farewell and brought out just about ever A-list star to do it!
Of the more than 154,000 ticket requests that flooded the office of Harpo Studios, just a few thousand of Oprah's most loyal and lucky fans were selected for Tuesday's back-to-back shows at the United Center.
The shows will air May 23 and May 24. Winfrey's last show airs May 25 after 25 years.
In the audience: former Mayor Richard Daley and his wife, Maggie Daley, Jessica Seinfeld, Charles Barley, Dave Chappelle, Emmitt Smith, Wanda Sykes, and Robin McGraw, the wife of Dr. Phil.
The first show will feature Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Josh Groban, Patti LaBelle, Beyonce, Halle Berry, Queen Latifah, Katie Holmes and Rascal Flatts.
The second show will feature, among others: Will Smith & Jada Pinkett Smith, Jamie Foxx, Stevie Wonder, Jerry Seinfeld, Simon Cowell, Rosie O'Donnell, Dr. Mehmet Oz, Dr Phil McGraw, Nate Berkus, Gayle King, Maya Angelou, Tyler Perry, Alicia Keys, Aretha Franklin, Usher and she even managed to get newly separated from her husband Arnold Schwarzenegger, Maria Shriver to join her on stage.

Oprah Winfrey has revealed she considered killing herself when she got pregnant as a teenager.
The talk show host confessed she even drank detergent in a bid to harm herself or the baby as she tried to hide the pregnancy from her family. Winfrey was 14 when she discovered she was expecting but later lost the baby. She feels the death was a "second chance" for her as she believes her father would have disowned her if he had found out.
"Getting pregnant was a result of bad choices, not having boundaries, sexual abuse from the time I was nine, ten, 11, 12 and 13,"
Winfrey said in an interview with Piers Morgan for CNN.
"I had no connection to that baby. I felt nothing but relief because I felt before that baby was born I was going to have to kill myself.
"I did silly things like drinking detergent, but really I was crying for help."
Oprah Winfrey’s brand new TV network, aptly titled the “Oprah Winfrey Network,” or simply “OWN,” launched on New Year’s Day (Sat. Jan 1) in the United States, and among the many shows included in the cable channel’s initial line-up is a documentary series called “Oprah Presents: Master Class.”
The first episode of “Master Class” chronicled Jay-Z’s rise to success, and featured the rapper as he showed Oprah around his old stomping grounds in the Marcy Projects of Brooklyn, New York City. Future episodes of the show are said to feature poet Maya Angelou, iconic actor Sidney Poitier and media-maven Diane Sawyer.
Hugh Jackman showed off the nasty stitches he received on his right eye after crashing into a lighting rig while performing a zip-line stunt on "Oprah" this morning in Australia.
Oprah Winfrey dropped serious cash on some Australians during a taping of her show today ... including $1,000,000 worth of computer equipment to a local school.
O gave over $1 million of HP and Microsoft gear to the Canterbury Boys School -- including a laptop for every teacher and student.
In a particularly tear-jerking moment, Oprah presented a check to a man battling cancer in the amount of $250,000, courtesy of Microsoft. They also got an Xbox 360 video game system.
The episode will air some time in 2011.
Some are debating whether using the taxpayers money to stage Oprah's show in Australia was a good idea or not...
Federal Tourism Minister Martin Ferguson has defended the use of taxpayers' money to help stage the Oprah Winfrey talk show in Australia.
The "small investment" of $4 million to $5 million by several federal and state agencies is money well spent,
Mr Ferguson says.
Australia had already reaped a benefit of $71 million in Australia and $14 million in the United States, he says.
Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce, whose company helped bring the show to Australia, said,
"There's no doubt in my mind it's the best marketing expenditure we could make.
"It's probably one of the best tourism initiatives Australia will ever make."
Ms Winfrey was asked at a media conference to explain the secret of her success.
"I believe I have never left the space of the viewer,"
she replied.
"I have never lost sight of the viewer.
"My feet are on the ground. I'm just wearing better shoes."
In case you missed it, former co-workers of the "Oprah Show" are suggesting that Oprah's tears during her recent interview with Barbara Walters were fake...check it out:
now writer and journalist Ian Halperin, suggest that one of Oprah former employees has decided to share some info on the fake tears shed during the taping…
“She wanted to make the interview as dramatic as possible so she could promote her new TV station,”
said one of Oprah’s former employees.
“Her tears were fake. She put a chemical in her eye to make her cry. She has used that technique before on her show.”
Nooo! lol, say it 'aint so?
This wouldn't be the FIRST time someone may have "faked" tears...I'm sure you guys remember Chris Brown slinging snot on stage at the B.E.T Awards for his MJ tribute. Many said that incident was fake too, especially after, like this story, someone came out and said they were prepped. (click here)

George W. Bush, promoting his memoir that hit store shelves Tuesday, pronounced himself "through with politics" and defended his decisions as president in a jokey interview with television talk show queen Oprah Winfrey.
"A lot of people didn't think I could read, much less write,"
Bush cracked about his book, "Decision Points," during the taped interview in Winfrey's Chicago studios.
Asked by Winfrey whether he regretted the decision to invade Iraq based on unfounded intelligence that leader Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, Bush admitted feeling "terrible" and "sickened" about being wrong the weapons, but blamed Hussein.
Bush admits mistakes, defends decisions
"I'll tell you what was wrong. Saddam Hussein deceived everybody. He didn't want people to know he did not have them ... which is strange because I made it clear to him to let the (arms) inspectors in or we'll remove you from power and he didn't believe me, sadly,"
Bush said.
"My point is the world is better with him gone,"
Bush said to applause from the studio audience.
Bush's eyes filled with tears when he talked about consoling widows of soldiers killed in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
He grew angry when discussing critics (Kanye West) that accused him of racism after the government's admittedly flawed response to the destruction wrought by Hurricane Katrina.
"What really, really irritated was when they said my response was slow because I was a racist,"
Bush said, lamenting what he called the "ugliness of the American political scene."
Asked to weigh in on politics, Bush demurred, saying he would not "wade back into the swamp."
"I'm through with politics. It's hard for people to believe. I'm through,"
adding his successor Barack Obama
"has his critics, he doesn't need me opining on everything he does."
You can watch that clip below:
And in this video portion below he speaks on giving tax payers money over to the banks...and he "doesn't know" if it worked but he knows that we didn't have a depression.
Katherine Jackson gave an exclusive and rare interview to Oprah, in which she discussed losing her son and adopting his three children.
They spoke about Joe hitting the children, MJ's skin color, plastic surgery and plenty more. Many of MJ's fans are upset that his family and Oprah and doing interviews that MJ would never approve of.
Rumors are swirling that Oprah may be rigging votes against Zach Anner, the popular favorite to win her reality television show contest, who is at the same time has Cerebral Palsy and is wheel-chair bound.
Apparently, another contestant acquired more than 300,000 votes and surpassed Zach in a matter of 20 minutes, raising eyebrows across the internet. Zach had previously been in the No. 1 spot for a week. And guess what this "other contestant's" name is?? DR. PHYLLIS!! ...Kinda sounds a lot like Dr. Phill right? hmmm
Here's the screen shot below:
So far, there's no proof of conspiracy.
Zach is a former University of Texas student and seasoned television host. He also has cerebal palsy and calls himself a "wheelchair-bound lady magnet."
Zach Anner fans noticed right away and are upset with an apparent rigging.
Some fans unfairly criticized the contest by saying Oprah hates the Handicapped. This video below actually shows how Zach's votes have been staying frozen while Dr. Phyllis' keep rising!
WOW.
In my opinion, it's just not clear what happened here and who did what, but somewhere someone either went crazy voting for Dr. Phyllis in the last 20 minutes to help her win, or Oprah's people rigged it to make the person they want to win. Like do you really think they would let the public choose who will gave a show? and like I said "Dr Phyllis" sounds A LOT like Dr. Phill.....which doesn't necessarily mean anything BUT at a time when votes are being supposedly "rigged" it just sounds a little too coincidental.
Diddy seems to have gotten so caught up in the new year's madness that he "accidentally" announced he got married.
"Juat married!" he tweeted at about 3:30 am this morning on twitter.
(Click photo to enlarge)
Two hours later Diddy then announced: "No I didn't get married !!!!! Pls stop asking!!!"
However, rumors have been circulating in Hollywood that Diddy and on-off again girlfriend Kimberly Porter did actually wed on New Year's Eve.
Reports have said that celebs were showing up at St. Barts in droves last night. The big names reportedly included Jay-Z and Beyonce, Denzel Washington, Oprah and others.
Tabloids announced in 2007 that Diddy and Porter ended their relationship after having three children together.
But in mid-December of this year, rumors arose that he had dumped singer Cassie and become engaged to his ex.
His rep immediately denied the gossip.
"This rumor happens every year it isn't true," he said.
On twitter Diddy himself addressed his relationship with Porter, writing: "Attention all blogs. Not getting married. Not engaged. Sorry. Where do yall get this stuff from. Have a blessed night..."
Don't invite Oprah Winfrey and Natalie Portman to the same party. The rumor is that talk show queen and very pregnant Oscar winner are on the outs.
