We knew it was coming…but saddd! Oprah Winfrey confirmed that she is ending her successful daytime talk show in September 2011. She told the press “I love this show. This show has been my life. And I love it enough to know when it’s time to say goodbye. Twenty-five years feels right in my bones, and it feels right in my spirit. It’s the perfect number, the exact right time.”

We understand Oprah…it’s time for YOU to sit back, relax, and enjoy the fruits of your labor…but that’s not to say we won’t miss you! Oprah will concentrate on her OWN network, a cable channel that represents her name & will premiere in January 2011.
