7  Hours and Counting.

President and First Lady Obama are going to be talking with Oprah tonight on her Christmas special on Christmas at the White House: An Oprah Primetime Special, airing Sunday, December 13, at 10 p.m. ET on the ABC Television Network. Be sure to tune it for this candid, yes pre-taped episode.

Here's a preview for your enjoyment.

Oprah wants everyone to know that she does not wear a weave. The hair is hers.

Animal Health, Cruelty and Welfare 'SECRETS' Exposed! (Warning: This blog entry may make you feel the blogger is a lunatic! lol No matter, I hope you enjoy this blog entry!)

One of the reasons why I blog about this is because I was touched. I was touched by Oprah's kindness to allow TV broadcasts....exposing the way dogs have been poorly treated in some dog breeding centres. This was not long after her companion of 13 years passed away. There may be many more things not addressed in this blog entry but I will attempt to voice what concerns animal lovers - health, fitness and welfare of animals all over the world.

It is basically clear now that Twitter will not be one of those services. If the recent Ashton Kutcher  (@aplusk)/CNN (@cnnbrk) race to 1 million followers taught us anything it’s that Twitter is only going to get bigger.

It was probably inevitable as the actor and comedian Kevin Pollack (@kevinpollak) said; “I love Twitter because it’s not like Facebook where you have to maintain a profile, it’s just there if you have a thought, a question or an idea.” When you couple that simplicity with a service basically built around vanity counting the result is a service perfect for celebrities keeping in touch with their fan base. And celebrities represent nothing if not the mainstream.

Let’s now take a look now at Twitterholic’s 100 most followed Twitter accounts list; most of the accounts on this list are either celebrities or large news organizations (who seem to be increasingly using Twitter as an RSS killer) with few “internet famous” people left in a club they used to dominate. Slowly but surely the ubiquitous tool of the digerati is crossing the chasm.

Then came Oprah. This isn’t the first time Oprah has given a huge burst of exposure to a Web 2.0 start-up she made her first
