Last week we got to see some of the first photos of Oprah Winfrey‘s first visit to Australia ahead of a series of special episodes of The Oprah Winfrey Show which are being taped there this week. Today’s show, which was taped yesterday in Oz, featured a guest appearance by famous Aussie Hugh Jackman. He thought it would be neat to drop in on Oprah by way of zip line … and he almost lost an eye in the process. Here are a few photos and the gory deets of his ill-fated stunt:

As far as entrances go, it was certainly a painful one. Action man Hugh Jackman was left with a bad cut under his eye after sliding down a cable from the top of the Sydney Opera House towards a giant outdoor stage where Oprah Winfrey was recording the second of her Australian shows. But the 42-year-old actor failed to stop, crashing into the stage’s light rigging and hurting his face. After being lowered from the 100-yard zip wire, paramedics rushed onto the stage to tend to him, with all the drama being captured live on television. One of the medics even gave him a hug as host Oprah rushed over, suspending her show while the X-Men star was treated. ‘I’m not 100 per cent, actually,’ he said as he struggled to free himself from the harness while dangling 30ft in the air. ‘I’ve hurt my eye – it’s not bad. I’m really sorry about this.’ As blood began to run down his cheek from a bad cut below his right eye, Oprah hurried across to him and called for aid. ‘Let’s take a break and get some ice,’ she said. No less than six paramedics took Jackman off the stage as he held a towel to his face.

D’oh! I mean … talk about embarrassing stunts. Poor Hugh. It’s bad enough that he had to injure himself on camera but to do so on one of the planet’s most popular talk shows which is getting even more attention due to the special nature of being taped in Australia … poor Hugh. Well, the embarrassment doesn’t end with mere photos. After the jump, check out video of Hugh‘s exciting yet painful stunt …

Today is the day that Oprah Winfrey airs her much-anticipated interview with Michael Jackson‘s parents Katherine and Joseph and his three children Prince Michael Joseph, Paris Michael Katherine and Prince Michael Joseph, II aka Blanket. The ep has yet to air here on the West Coast but right now we get to check out a 1 minute preview video of Oprah talking to MJ‘s kids about what a good cook Michael Jackson was:

In a candid interview with Oprah Winfrey airing on “Oprah” today, Jackson’s children, Prince, Paris, and Blanket, opened up about their pop icon father for the first time since his death. Surrounded by their cousins at the Jackson family’s California compound, Havenhurst, Prince, 13, and Paris, 12, talked about growing up with Michael. “I kind of felt like no one understood what a good father he was. He was the best cook ever,” Paris told Winfrey. “He was just a normal dad.” “He made the best French toast in the world,” she added. “He just made the best breakfasts in the world.” Prince and Paris described Michael as “strict” but said he often treated them to sweets like Snickers candy bars and Coca-Cola. “He tried to raise us without us knowing who he was, but that didn’t really go so well,” Paris said, smiling. The two shared their favorite memories of Michael. “We were in Bahrain, and we used to wake up early and walk on the beach,” Prince said. “One time we were on the roof of the Luxor in Las Vegas, just saw all the city lights,” Paris said. “We were eating Snickers, we had some soda.” “Sometimes he would take me to a museum, because we both loved art,” Paris added. “We’d play tag outside. He got us Kenya [their dog] four years ago.” Blanket, 8, barely spoke during the interview, answering “yes” when Winfrey asked if he was still home-schooled. Blanket added that while Prince “could get away with anything,” when it came to being disciplined by Michael, he could not. They also talked about their hobbies and ambitions. “I’d like to be an actress when I’m older,” Paris told Winfrey. “I sometimes do improv. I used to do it with my dad.” Prince said his favorite pastimes were “video games and sports.” He said he wants to “produce movies and direct” when he grows up. Winfrey wrapped up her interview with a poignant question — “What do you miss the most?” “Everything,” Paris replied.

I believe today’s episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show has already aired in parts of the US but if it has yet to air where you are, SET those DVRs now! This really sounds like an interview that is now to be missed. After the jump, check out this preview video clip of Oprah‘s interview with MJ‘s kids …

Last month we got our very first look at Oprah Winfrey‘s visit to the home of Michael Jackson‘s mother Katherine where she conducted an exclusive interview for The Oprah Winfrey Show. Earlier this week we got our first look at a promo image of Oprah with MJ‘s children Prince Michael Joseph, Paris Michael Katherine and Prince Michael Joseph, II aka Blanket from that ep of The Oprah Winfrey Show. Today we get to check out the first video footage released from the ep which will air here in the US on Monday November 8:

Their lives were shrouded in secrecy for most of their childhood, their identities a fiercely guarded secret behind masks enforced by their paranoid father. But since his death, Michael Jackson’s children have come out into the open, appearing at his televised funeral and enrolling in a normal school where they mix with other children. Now, Prince, 13, Paris, 12, and Blanket, eight, have now taken the next step and are going public with an exclusive interview with Oprah Winfrey to be shown this Monday. It’s part of an ‘extensive’ chat the chat show queen has landed with the pop star’s mother Katherine. The children look remarkably happy, healthy and well-adjusted as they chat to Oprah just over a year since the death of their father stunned the world. In the sit-down, which was filmed at the Jackson home in Encino, California … Mrs Jackson will open up about the day the music icon died in June last year. The 80-year-old matriarch is also expected to reflect on Michael’s life as a child star. Her husband Joe appears along with their three grandchildren in a ‘backyard’ visit by Winfrey … There are online rumours that Harpo Productions are also trying to secure a taping with Debbie Rowe, the reclusive mother of Prince and Paris. Harpo has not commented on these claims. The highly anticipated interview is one of a string of sought-after exclusives produced by Harpo for Oprah’s final season.

Naturally, Oprah is NOT releasing too much footage from Monday’s episode just yet … but this quick tease is deffo worth seeing. Check it out, after the jump …

Last month we got our first look at Oprah Winfrey with the Jackson family in their Encino, CA home as she interviewed them for an upcoming episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show. A few days later, it was reported that Oprah would also be interviewing Michael Jackson‘s children — Prince Michael Joseph, Paris Michael Katherine and Prince Michael Joseph, II aka Blanket — for her show. Today we get our first look a promo photo of Oprah with MJ‘s children as she interviewed them for next Monday November 8′s episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show:

Relaxed, smiling and playful – that’s the image of Michael Jackson’s three children captured in a candid photo taken during Oprah Winfrey’s visit to the Jacksons’ Encino, Calif., home last month. Prince, 13, and Paris, 12, are seen smiling as Paris reaches out to Blanket, 8, who is curled up in a lawn chair in the backyard of the home, while Winfrey and the children’s grandparents, Katherine and Joe Jackson, are seated across the table. The talk-show host was there to interview Katherine about Michael’s childhood, his career, his children and his legacy a year and a half after the pop legend’s untimely death at age 50.

While there are many people (me included) who are horribly curious to see the Jackson children interviewed, at least one person is NOT pleased that Oprah sat down to interview the kids in the first place. Randy Jackson has spoken out publicly to voice his displeasure with the interview, stating that MJ would NEVER have allowed his children to be interviewed on TV … not even by Oprah. While that claim is debatable, it is very true that MJ fiercely guarded his children’s privacy and it is unlikely that he would be totally cool with putting his kids on TV like this. Still, the interview has been filmed and is scheduled to air next Monday. Will you be tuning in?

Ricky Martin, newly openly gay pop star and father of twin boys he named Matteo and Valentino, will make an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show on Tuesday November 2 to be interviewed publicly for the first time about his decision to come out of the closet as well as his life as a single father of two. Here are a couple preview screencaps from Ricky‘s upcoming appearance on Oprah:

He was guarded about his sexuality for years and reserved about his new adventure as a family man – now Ricky Martin is sharing his joy of becoming a father via a surrogate mother on the Oprah Winfrey show. Ricky welcomed cameras to his home for a candid portrait of his happy family home life for his interview with Oprah, in which he talks about his sons and his sexuality for the first time. The 39-year-old Puerto Rican megastar quietly became father of twin boys, called Matteo and Valentino, in August 2008. Previously, the star has only released occasional pictures of himself with the two gorgeous children via his official Twitter account, then ‘came out’ on his website in March this year. The singer said at the time : ‘I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am.’ But he has never before opened up about becoming father or finally going public with his sexuality … Ricky is on the chatshow conveyor belt to plug his new autobiography. Titled ‘Me’, it details his life, career and journey to officially come out. The book hits shops in the US next week. Meanwhile, the singer’s first new material in six years is due out before the end of the year. ‘The Best Thing About Me Is You’ is a described as an emotional duet featuring Ricky and Joss Stone and is the first track from a new studio album, due out next year.

Aww … look at Ricky‘s boys … they’re so big already. Despite the fact that we know that Oprah will not press Ricky on any tough questions, her show is the perfect platform for him to open up about his life now that he is out of the closet. After the jump, check out the preview video trailer for Ricky‘s upcoming appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show …

Harry Potter author JK Rowling appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show yesterday (for the first and, very likely, the last time ever) to give a little interview to Oprah Winfrey and she teased that she *may* be willing to write new Harry Potter books sometime in the future. Now before y’all get too excited, JK was very clear to say that she didn’t think she’d write the books but said that she *could* write more books … and *may* do so someday:

It is the news all muggles have been waiting for. J.K. Rowling has revealed there may be more Harry Potter books to come after she talked about the ‘bereavement’ she felt completing the seventh and final book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The author said though she couldn’t cope with the overwhelming success of the books, she will miss being ‘consumed’ by the wizardry world and has the future of the characters already mapped out in her head. She said: ‘I could definitely write an eighth, ninth and tenth. I’m not going to say I won’t. I don’t think I will. I feel I am done, but you never know.’ In her first ever interview with US chat show queen Oprah Winfrey, the author opened up about the emotional 17-year journey spent writing the Potter books and how – without the death of her mother – they may never have existed. She said: ‘The end was huge, like a bereavement. Although I knew it was coming – we all know the people we love are mortal, we know it’s going to end – you can’t prepare yourself for it. I was in a slight state of shock. Initially I was elated, but then there came a point I cried and I have only ever cried once before in my life – and that was when my mother died. It was uncontrollable and I’m not a big crier. I never told my mother about it, I would have done – I know she would have liked it. But I regret it hugely. The books wouldn’t be what they are if she hadn’t died. Her death is on virtually every other page of the Harry Potter books. If she hadn’t died I don’t think it’s too strong to say there wouldn’t be Harry Potter.’ She revealed how the phenomenon reached such great heights that she was even approached by pop legend Michael Jackson, who wanted to write a musical version of the Harry Potter books – but she turned him down. In the hour-long interview which was broadcast in the US [Friday], she talked openly about how she was ‘hanging by a thread’ due to the success of the books as she struggled to cope with her fame. She said: ‘At the time I felt a need to deny how great the pressure was because that was my way of coping. It happened so fast for me and it shouldn’t have happened. This was a children’s book. I went from utter obscurity. It was like being a Beatle. At that point I kept saying to people ‘Yes I’m coping’. The truth was, there were times when I was barely hanging by a thread’ … Asked if she planned to continue writing, Rowing said: ‘Oh god yes. I literally can’t stop. I have to write for my own mental health. I have to do it.’ But she insisted that she felt no pressure to top the success of her Harry Potter series with her next book. ‘I really mean that,’ she said. ‘It was amazing. It was also insane at times and there are parts of that insanity that I’ll be quite glad to leave behind.’

While it sounds like JK has not ruled out the possibility of writing another Harry Potter book, my guess is that she prolly will not do so … at least, not for a long time. Actually, it seems more likely to me that she may write the books … and then lock them away for publication many years in the future or, perhaps, after her death? Of course, this is just wild speculation on my part but I can see how any new Harry Potter books might be saved for release in the distant future. To be honest, I’m terribly curious to read new stories from JK Rowling. She is an amazing wordsmith and a very descriptive writer … I can’t wait to read more stories from her. She may never match the success she enjoyed with the Harry Potter books but my guess is her days as a hugely successful author are not over … not by a long shot.

Back in November of last year, Oprah Winfrey made the surprising announcement that she would be ending her still hugely popular daytime TV talk show The Oprah Winfrey after just one more season. Oprah plans to launch her own television network called the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) in 2011 and will be focusing her attention there presumably with a new talk show in place. The final Farewell Season of The Oprah Winfrey Show will debut in just over a month on September 13 and today we get our first look at the preview trailer for The Farewell Season of The Oprah Winfrey Show:

Oprah Winfrey is [preparing] to say goodbye to “The Oprah Winfrey Show” which has been running for 25 years. [The "farewell season" will debut on September 13 and the trailer features] Oprah hosting the show and interacting with people of every kind over the years. Oprah [in] her very first episode on September 8, 1986 kicks off the trailer. “One of the biggest things I’ve learned over the years is that people want to be heard,” she says in the trailer. “Every human being, no matter what age, no matter how old we get is looking for the same thing. What everybody wants is to know.” Oprah announced last year that she was ending her talk show to begin a new chapter in her life. She is concentrating to build Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) which is a joint ownership between Harpo Studio and Discovery Communications. OWN will start airing on January 2011, offering innovative programming which aim is to help its viewers with healthier lifestyle and more informed lives.

And here we are … just weeks away from the start of the final season ever of The Oprah Winfrey Show. It’s hard to imagine the full scope of Winfrey‘s influence on American culture … for the past 20+ years, she has been setting the tone of discourse in this country unlike any other singular person has. The success of her show has given her the power and the funds to start her own television network … and with that power and those funds, she plans to take the next step in WORLD DOMINATION! Okay, maybe not quite but I’m sure she definitely plans to have as huge an impact as she possibly can with her OWN network … but we’re not quite there just yet. After the jump, check out the trailer for The Farewell Season of The Oprah Winfrey Show so you can prepare yourselves for the coming end of the show …

Yesterday we got a sneek peek at today’s episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show which features the principal cast of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse — namely Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner — promoting the release of their new film (due out on June 30) and today we get to see 3 clips from the ep which will air TODAY (check local listings):

I know The Oprah Winfrey Show has already aired in some parts of the country today but it won’t air here in NYC (where I’m at this week) until 4pm ET … so I still gotta wait to see big Twilight 3 on the show. But, some longer clips from today’s episode has made their way to the Internets for our viewing pleasure. Check ‘em out after the jump …

The principal cast of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (namely Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner) will appear on tomorrow’s episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show but today we get our first look at their appearance on the show. In one part of the interview. R. Pattz reveals to Oprah Winfrey that his first career choice was not actor … it was rapper:

“I used to want to be a rapper when I was, like, 14,” the actor says during an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show alongside costars Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, which is set to air Thursday. Rap music wasn’t the only American entertainment Pattinson, who turns 24 on Thursday, enjoyed. “I grew up watching American movies and stuff,” he tells Oprah. So, what’s it like to star in one of the most popular American movie franchises in recent years? “It’s a great position to be in because you can walk into a room and everybody’s screaming,” he says of the rapturous fan response, which will only grow stronger as their latest chapter, Eclipse, hits theaters June 30. But Pattinson thinks a lot of the enthusiasm is less about him and more about his character, Edward Cullen. “It’s not really about you,” he says. “So, it never really goes to your head and you can kind of participate in it. It’s about the fans themselves. A lot of people, they just like doing Twilight-related things.” And his costar, Taylor Lautner, agrees. “It’s really unlike anything else,” Lautner, 18, says. “It’s amazing; over the past two years, I’ve had the time of my life. I couldn’t be more thankful.”

Oh man … I’m thinkin’ Oprah is gonna enjoy some major ratings from tomorrow’s show. Make sure you tune in (or set those DVRs) Twihards, I understand the whole ep is chock full of Twilight goodness. After the jump, check out a promo video for tomorrow’s Twilight episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show …
