The race is on!!!

Between Oprah and Barbara Walters, the challenge to secure Pippa Middleton's first U.S. interview is HEATED!!!

With Duchess Catherine's lil sis predicted as the new "it" girl of 2012, it's no wonder how both interview queens are "hot on the case."

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!

Hubby Bestie Gayle King debunked the rumors that Oprah is the godmother of baby Blue Ivy.

Gayle appeared on CBS Morning News today and claimed the news was "absolutely not true."

Awww...is someone a bit jelly?

Oprah's pal did say the talk show host is planning on sending Bey and Jay a baby gift but hasn't had time since she in India.

Sad. Oprah would've made a great god-mama!

So incredible to see these people persevering after such tragedy!

Check out this wonderful preview clip from Oprah's Next Chapter, during which she visits the devastated country of Haiti alongside Sean Penn to see how its people are still re-building their lives so they can find work and build homes (above)!

Truly powerful stuff here.

We can't imagine how difficult this all must be, but glad to know that people like Oprah and Sean are there to continue to provide them with relief!

Hallelujah!!

Blue Ivy Carter has a godmother! And it's Oprah!

Oh boy, this little girl is sure gonna live a charmed life.

Reports are surfacing that Beyonce and Jay-Z have finally picked a godmother for their little chosen one.

Since the couple has grown close to Oprah over the past few years, it's natural that they've chosen the legendary Mz. Winfrey to be Blue Ivy's godmother. She's basically this generation's princess, so why not, right?

Jay-Z's pal Tyran "Ty Ty" Smith has been chosen as her godfather since they wanted to make sure that the godparents weren't blood-related.

Well, gee, as if we didn't think Blue Ivy was spoiled enough, now we learn that her second parent in command will be the most powerful woman on earth.

We all can agree that little Miss Blue will never have to work a day in her life, right??

Oprah believes that the next four years will filled with success. Obama success.

While filming in India, the talk show legend stated she believes the current POTUS will be able to pull the economy out from the dumps.

Oprah said the following on President Obama's future in the White House:

Uh oh! Oprah is causing a stir in India but not the kind she wanted!

The talk show host is spending time in India for her Next Chapter in life and of course she is surrounded by bodyguards.

The troupe is a mixed bag of American and Indian guards and it seems some of them got a bit too aggressive with the local media.

Reports state that three of her bodyguards were thrown in the slammer for damaging the reporters' eqiupment.
