Oprah turns 58 on January 29th and she's got a special guest to share it with.

That guest…Ted Turner!!!

Well, it won't be romantic however.

Oprah will actually be working and interviewing the media kingpin for Oprah's Master Class.

The host will interview Turner on his accomplishments and major achievements. The CNN founder will join Goldie Hawn and Morgan Freeman in the pantheon of guests for the show.

Turner explains how he started CNN on the show:

I worked ’til 6 or 7 o'clock at night. By the time I got (home), the news was, the early news was over and I had to go to bed at 10 because I got up really early to go to work … I missed the 11 o'clock news. … So I, I never saw television news. And I knew there were a lot of people like me. I knew that if it was on all the time, like - and all news radio had already proven successful. So I figured, you know, if it worked on radio it would work on TV too.

That's not a fun way to celebrate your b-day. But she's working hard!

Simple. Beautiful. Moving.

That's how we can best describe Dustin Lance Black's 8.

In his moving play adapted from actual court transcripts and interviews, 8 explains Proposition 8 and the impact it made on Americans living in California.

You saw it on the Golden Globes, now harken back to the days of Morgan Freeman on The Electric Company!

Before he became Nelson Mandela, God and other iconic characters, Freeman was teaching kids and taking baths in caskets!

The actor sings a tune as Count Dracula in his casket/bathtub.

We'd learn a lot from Morgan Freeman back then!

Check out the video above to learn about the letter C!

And here's another video of Morgan Freeman on TEC!!!

U sure about that, Ashley? Wouldn't U rather do a few more movies with Morgan Freeman??? Ha!

After spending time earning a masters degree in public administration at Harvard, Ashley Judd is ready for some more acting…and for the first time since the 90s, she's headed to TV!

In ABC's upcoming drama Missing, Ashley will play a long-retired CIA operative "who is forced to rediscover her spy skills when her son goes missing while at university in Italy." Cool!

Here's what Ashley had to say about the action-packed show, in which she'll do many of her own stunts:

Think of one person who is more charming and beloved than Betty White and we'll call you a liar: Betty is the raddest person on TV, and she's been that rad for 90 years!

NBC knows it, too, so they're throwing her a 90th birthday tribute with pretty much every celebrity ever:

Ellen DeGeneres, Morgan Freeman, Tina Fey, Ray Romano, Seth Meyers and Tracy Morgan have joined the star-studded line-up including Carl Reiner, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Vicki Lawrence and John O'Hurley.

Oh, and Mary Tyler Moore and White's Mary Tyler Moore co-stars Ed Asner, Valerie Harper and Gavin MacLeod, as well as Hugh Jackman, Carol Burnett, Jay Leno and Amy Poehler. Also, Valerie Bertinelli, Wendie Malick and Jane Leeves will also be on hand to deliver birthday wishes along with Joel McHale and William Shatner.

They'll all be singing her praises for her from her first appearance on radio in 1947, to her newest show Betty White's Off Their Rockers, which is a prank show where old people play tricks on young people! Ha!

Seriously though, she deserves all the recognition and it sounds like it'll be a blast to watch and join in on remembering all the cool shizz she's done over the years!

Just a HIGHlarious little reminder that everyone - even our favorite cinematic leader of the free world, Mr. Morgan Freeman - has to get his or her start SOMEWHERE!

Check out this clip from the 1970s children's series The Electric Company, on which the actor was regularly featured, in this sketch performing a catchy little number regarding the menu at a diner (above)!

Too cute!

We miss children's shows like this!

This generation of kiddies could use some gentle lessons via the TV screen from the likes of Morgan Freeman, don't you think?

Congrats!

In his 40+ years as a working actor he has played everything from an convict in prison to God himself - and in January Morgan Freeman will being playing the part of honoree!
