Never fear, Oprah's here! And if she wasn't, Vernita Lee would be in deep shiz!

Oprah's mother, Lee, has settled the lawsuit filed by Milwaukee clothing boutique, Valentina, but only because her daughter paid up!!!

Vernita accumulated a $155,547 bill and could not afford to pay it back.

Surprise, surprise!

Being related to royalty does not make you the Queen!

All hail the big O!

While at the opening of her cousin's new retail store, Tweak 99, Paula Abdul did not hold back about her plans for the future.

As Oprah plans to leave the world of talk show glory, Paula is dead set on filling the void!

Yikes!!!!

"I have really great ideas," she said, as she hopes it would happen in the next few years. "It would be fun and quirky and it would be insightful. It would be fun to jam with the band and have amazing guests and introduce amazing different formats on the show."

Maybe she could do a bit similar to ones she did on Idol?! Like putting your head on the table and struggling to speak in coherent sentences?!

"I feel I would be really good at it. I have the ability to to connect with people on a level. I've proven to pierce the heartstrings, but also to be celebratory and bring out the best in people," she continued.

But, Paula does not deny what a "phenomenon" Oprah is until she drew blatant comparison to Idol!!!

"Like 'American Idol,' there's a place and time that makes history. That's Oprah," she said.

We hope that's the prescription drugs talking!!

Bringing more SEX to HBO!

Because if anyone knows about what's HAWT between the sheets, it is Oprah Winfrey?

It is being reported that Oprah's Harpo Films is developing a pilot for HBO. The show is being described as an hourlong "sexually charged" drama about a woman who leaves her marriage to pursue a very different lifestyle.

The show is being called Oprah and Gayle's Roadtrip untitled.

Can't wait!

Well, sure. He's going to be losing a lot of tourism when her ass leaves town!

Chicago's Mayor, like so many housewives in America, is saddened to learn that his goldmine of a TV icon is hightailing it out of Chicago. Oprah Winfrey and the Windy city have become synonymous and with that, it has improved Chicago's image.

But with her exit from the show, Mayor Daley is looking to point fingers and he's found his target - the media.

He cites the uproar the city made when Oprah closed down a major intersection for the season premiere of her show.

Mayor Daley says:

"That became a big rhubarb in the Chicago press — beat up Oprah. So you keep kicking people, people will leave, simple as that…I'm just saying that when someone's doing something like that, most cities would love it. … It's just amazing. I don't know why it became so controversial."

We don't either, but we also don't think it has anything to do with why she is leaving. She's Oprah, man! She could buy and sell every paper in Chicago.

She doesn't sweat them!

Big changes are coming up for The Big O!

Now that the news has officially broken that The Oprah Winfrey Show will be ending on September 9, 2011, Oprah is planning her next move!

She is supposedly looking to host a "smaller and different" kind of show on the new Oprah Winfrey Network and it certainly won't be based in Chicago.

Instead Oprah would be based in Los Angeles and it is being discussed which employees will be moved from Chicago to the new headquarters.

And we will welcome you with open arms to sunny El Lay, O!

On today's episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show, the Queen of Daytime TV announced the end of her reign.

Oprah explained the decision came "after much prayer and careful thought," but ultimately, it was the best choice for her. Holding back tears, she thanked her viewers who have vigilantly watched her show for over 20 years. She recalled how nervous she was when she started back in 1986 but revealed that she never believed it would lead down a "yellow brick road of blessings."

How emotional!

After a quarter of a century, Oprah Winfrey will be leaving you stay-at-home moms to your own devices as she is ending her daytime reign in September of 2011.

Many of her close friends and colleagues took a moment to respond to the news and, as you would imagine, they all have nothing but the best to say.

Her life partner in crime, Gayle King, assured the press that the decision to leave her daytime days behind was hers and hers alone. Furthermore, she has no doubt that Oprah will find a way to fill the void left behind:

" I think that Oprah always makes the best decision for herself. I really do. And I have a feeling she will come up with some things to do. She has a very full life … We don't need to worry about her filling her time, I promise you that! Life is good for her."

New bestie Ellen DeGeneres made similar comments when addressing her in-studio audience last night, saying:

"Hey listen, I'm going to tell you some news you're going to hear as soon as you go out into the world, when you leave here. Right before I came out here, I got a call from Oprah and she told me that she is announcing that next year will be her last year. It will be her 25th year, and she feels like it's time for her to stop…I don't think I could be here without her. I think she has blazed a trail … She is an amazing woman…She will always be the Queen of Daytime Television."

Ah, but there is another Queen of Daytime who's doesn't think we have seen the last of O. Martha Stewart told reporters that she believes Oprah will be back, once she has had some time off:

"She'll do another show. She's evolving. She's fabulous."

We're sure she will do another show as well. Question is, will she have it air on network TV or her new cable network, OWN?

We'll have to wait and see.

What do U think of O's big move?

She is expected to make the announcement on The Oprah Winfrey Show.
