Oprah played somewhat of a mediator to Jay Leno & David Letterman last night as she shared the couch with the two battling late night hosts.
Under a shroud of secrecy, the three met last Tuesday to shoot the spot in New York at the Ed Sullivan Theater, where Letterman tapes his show. Leno arrived incognito, wearing a hooded sweatshirt, glasses and faux mustache and Oprah flew in for a day to shoot the spot.

The internet is jumping about Fantasia married boyfriend, Antwaun Cook and it’s been rumored that his estranged wife has been inquiring about filing a million dollar suit against the former American Idol. According to online buzz, Tasia may be sued for criminal conversion, or having a sexual relationship with a married man.
The criminal conversion law is only in effect in seven states: North Carolina, Illinois, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Mexico, South Dakota and Utah. Fantasia, who almost lost her house last year falls in the jurisdiction of North Carolina courts, which have logged pretty large judgments against guilty mistresses, one to the tune of $1.4 million.
Fantasia had been accused of the affair several months ago, which was somewhat confirmed when she appeared with THIS conspicuous tattoo of her married lover’s name on her chest. She has since denied the relationship and the “Cook” tatt has morphed into a black blog of ink. *guilty much?* Only Oprah laying hands could redeem her…
Speaking of… Tasia appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show yesterday where she candidly discussed everything BUT her love life. Continue Reading…

During Mike Tyson’s initial appearance on the Oprah Winfrey Show, he expressed a bit of remorse over an incident with fellow fighter Evander Holyfield during their 1997 heavyweight title fight, where Mike bit Evander twice, once in each ear. The incident went down as one of the most talked-about moments in boxing history and the two have never officially discussed what happened. Evander contacted Oprah and asked if the two could reunite face to face on her show. O obliged and brought Mike back within a week of his interview for a historic interview between the two former foes.
Evander is still missing a small part of his ear but says he has moved past his anger:
“It was just shocking. It wasn’t really as bad as they made it out to be. The most important thing is that things happen for a reason, but it’s how you handle it,” he says. “At that moment, I was very angry. But eventually, when it’s all over, you realize that you gain more than you lost. … The most important thing for me was to forgive, and I forgave him and I was ready to move on.”

Boxing rivals Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield (photographed above during the 2009 ESPY Awards) are to scheduled to reunite in an upcoming episode of “The Oprah Winfrey Show.” Harpo Productions announced Wednesday that the two fighters will appear on Friday’s live episode for a historic appearance together. If you recall, Holyfield was forever changed by Tyson after their June 28, 1997 bout at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas where Tyson was disqualified after biting off part of Holyfield’s right ear during their WBA heavyweight title fight.
Tyson expressed a bit of remorse about the ear-biting incident during his one on one with Oprah this week, where he admitted that his initial apology to Holyfield was insincere. Oprah will now play referee as she gives Tyson a chance to man-up to his actions in front of her live audience. In the upcoming episode, Harpo Productions says Tyson will also take questions from the audience.
The Tyson/Holyfield episode airs Friday, October 16th. Check local listings for times.
