Lohan, Sheen, Fey, Winfrey.
Even if you’ve been living under a rock without wi-fi, you know who they are. The media has made damn sure of that.
Even though the Lindsey Lohan and Charlie Sheen train wrecks appear to slowed down, the Tina Fey express has been shamelessly thundering along for weeks.
“She writes hit movies and television shows! She impersonates crazy politicians! She pens best sellers celebrating her greatness!’
Yeah, yeah, she’s great, just ask her.
Of course, all three are lightweights compared to the Queen of All Media and soon the universe, no doubt. The media loves to exploit celebrites, but Oprah is the mistress of self-exploitation.
Now that Oprah‘s “last” show has aired, we can expect to see her smiling face EVERYWHERE. But let’s be clear, her brand now has its own network, a more suitable platform from which to launch the final stage in her plan for world domination.

It began with free swag for the audience, then she told people everywhere what to read.
Then she recruited experts in various fields, had them sign their souls away, and molded them into celebrity gurus.
Next she built a school to mold the next generation of “little Oprahs” (Which is an oxymoron if you think about it!) and now she’s going toe-to-toe with the network douchebags for supremacy of the airwaves.
I realize millions of people love her and have benefited from her efforts, but as for those of us who refuse to pledge allegiance to the Oprah flag, I’m afraid we’re out of luck.
She owns us already, we just haven’t found the brand on our scalp yet.

I’m tired of hearing about these celebrities, too. At least have to seek out the Oprah Network if I want to see her, which I usually don’t. There has to be some other news out there. And no. I didn’t watch the final show.
Don’t feel bad, neither did I!
Perfectly said, “I realize millions of people love her and have benefited from her efforts, but as for those of us who refuse to pledge allegiance to the Oprah flag, I’m afraid we’re out of luck.” Now she starts a new show or network, ugh. Does it ever end?????
Never, I’m afraid.
Here I thought I was the only woman in the world that wasn’t an Oprah fan…
Lots of people have had their fill of Oprah and her particular brand of madness!
See, there are lots of x fans or I don’t care fans of Oprah.
That’s true!
Pingback: Expect See Smiling
We are expected to care about celebrities for whatever reason. I suspect many of them wish for us to care about them all the time. There are humble celebrities out there, but thanks to ones like Oprah we only get our fill of the obnoxious ones.
Well said!
I’m definitely NOT a fan of Oprah!…..And here I thought I was the only one!
Definitely not!
I think Tina Fey can be pretty funny, but I just don’t buy the whole, “I was a geek girl in high school” routine.
It’s played out by now, that’s for sure!
Totally agree on the over exposure of certain celebs. Oprah is the queen. She shut down the beef industry with one sentence. No one should have that much power.
First time visitor here. Stop by realestdudeintheroom.com. We think alike. Except I like bacon and beer.
Nothing wrong with that! Welcome.
Oprah? Pish posh.
Only thing I liked about her was she got people to actually read something other than vampire books and Harry Potter.
And no, I have never watched an Oprah. I’d rather cut my 3acre lawn, and my neighbours cow fields with cuticle scissors than watch her show.
Interesting way of putting it!
Not an Oprah fan either. But you are right, she does own us.
Absolutely!
