John Mayer revealed intimate details about his sex life with ex-girlfriend Jessica Simpson. Now it’s her turn to talk about him and she’s doing it on The Oprah Winfrey Show.

Simpson’s appearance on Oprah’s show airs Wednesday. Simpson said she tried to read the Playboy interview in which Mayer called her “sexual napalm” and compared her to crack cocaine.

“I tried to read the article, and I was so disappointed in him,” she tells Oprah Winfrey. “It made me so sad, and it was really discouraging because that’s not the John that I knew…I hope he gets his life together.”

Jessica confirms that he reached out to her in the aftermath. “He did apologize. I don’t accept it. It’s just one of those things that…I don’t resent him. I’m just going to let that go. That part of my life is over.”

Jessica Simpson’s new VH1 reality show The Price of Beauty debuts March 13.

Paula Abdul will be on television again on a regular basis sometime soon. Abdul is shooting a pilot for Oprah’s network, OWN.

Abdul’s show is said to be a talk show, similar to Oprah’s talk show, featuring celebrity guests and guests with inspirational stories.

It is also being reported that Abdul is in talks to be a judge on the show X Factor with her old buddy Simon Cowell.

Paula is also being offered a semi-regular role on Drop Dead Diva after producers loved her cameo appearance last season.

Leaving American Idol doesn’t seemed to have hurt Paula!

Jessica Simpson is going to be sitting down with Oprah Winfrey in the near future. The people at Harpo haven’t yet confirmed an air date for the show, but expect it in the coming weeks. Simpson’s eight-part VH1 show, “The Price of Beauty” premieres March 15, so it is likely that her appearance on Oprah would coinside with the debut of the show.

The interesting part will come if Jessica chooses to comment on some of the phenomenally inappropriate comments John Mayer directed toward her in his recent Playboy interview. And we’re sure Oprah will ask about it, at the very least! So have a good answer ready, Jessica.

The latest result of the new Harris Poll say Oprah Winfrey is America’s favorite television personality, and Glenn Beck is surprising most people with his landing the No. 2 position.

The annual Harris Poll used data collected from 2,276 adults from Dec. 7-14.

Jay Leno, who was No. 1 last year (Winfrey was No. 4), dropped to No. 3. However, representatives from Harris clarified that the poll was conducted before the recent late-night battle. So if the poll was conducted now, Leno might be even lower?

Here’s the top ten list of Most Popular TV Stars according to the latest Harris Poll.

1. Oprah Winfrey

3. Jay Leno
4. Ellen DeGeneres and Hugh Laurie from House (tie)

On Monday’s episode of the Oprah Winfrey Show, Rosie O’Donnell sits down with the media mogul to talk about life after the dissolution of her 5-year marriage to Kelli Carpenter, and finding new love with artist Tracy Kachtick-Anders.

The biggest transition since the split, Rosie tells Oprah, is raising their four children. “We co-parent, but we share equal time [and] we’re never really without them,” she explains. “It’s free flowing, and we do nights together, too.”

There have been rumors swirling that the American Idol alum Adam Lambert, 27, might be going on The Oprah Winfrey Show.

Lambert addressed the rumors via his Twitter page, “Oprah: def true,” and word from the Winfrey camp says that Lambert and Winfrey taped their interview Wednesday at the Harpo Studios in Chicago. The show will air Tuesday, Jan. 19.

In the interview, Lambert touched upon Simon Cowell’s announced departure from Idol and its possible ramifications for the show, what life was like for him both pre-Idol and after, and his controversial performance at the American Music Awards.

The singer also performed “Whataya Want from Me” from his new album For Your Entertainment.

Also appearing on The Oprah Winfrey Show with Adam: chart-topper Susan Boyle.

Oprah Winfrey will announce on Friday that her popular daytime talk show, “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” will end its run in 2011, Tim Bennett, the President of Harpo, announced in a letter released to ABC affiliates on Thursday.

“Tomorrow, Oprah will announce live on ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show’ that she has decided to end what is arguably one of the most popular, influential and enduring programs in television history,” he wrote in the letter, obtained by Access Hollywood. ” The sun will set on the ‘Oprah’ show as its 25th season draws to a close on September 9, 2011.”

Bennett said he was sending out the letter to keep the affiliates from being surprised at tomorrow’s announcement.

“Before she speaks to her loyal viewers, we wanted to share her decision first with you – our valued partners for more than two decades,” he wrote.

And he urged the stations to “share this news this evening with your colleagues and viewers.”

“Oprah’s personal comments about this on tomorrow’s live show will mark a historic television moment that we will all be talking about for years to come,” he added.

Just a few weeks ago, a rep for Oprah said the TV queen planned to make an announcement by year’s end about whether she was planning to make a leap from her current daytime talk show to her previously announced cable channel, the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN).

It appears the decision was one that was made only recently. Just two weeks ago — at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards in New York City — Oprah’s best friend, Gayle King, said Oprah was still weighing her options.

“I know she’s thinking,” Gayle told Access. “I know she’s thinking.”

But Gayle said she wasn’t playing advisor over the decision, just longtime friend.

“Listen, Oprah and I have been friends since we were 21 and 22 and now we’re 54 and 55,” she said, citing her and Oprah’s ages, respectively. “We talk about everything but she’s a big girl. She will make the decision that is right for her. No question about that. Whatever that is. It’ll be the right decision for her.”

Previously, at the September Toronto premiere for “Precious,” a film Oprah executive produced, Oprah revealed she was still putting in the deliberation hours.

“I haven’t made a decision yet and I have until the end of the year,” she said. “But you know I think that deserves more thoughtful consideration than a red carpet.”

A former flight attendant on Oprah Winfrey’s private jet filed a lawsuit Friday claiming she was wrongfully fired because of false allegations that she had sex with the plane’s married pilot as the talk-show host snoozed.

The lawsuit filed by Corrine Gehrls, 39, alleges that flight attendant Myron Gooch and Kirby Bumpus (who is the daughter of Winfrey’s friend Gayle King and is Winfrey’s goddaughter) made the false and defamatory accusations to cause her to be fired.

Gehrls and chief pilot Terry Pansing, 57, one of four pilots employed by Winfrey, were fired a short time later for “inappropriate intimate behavior,” the suit said.

A spokesman for Harpo Inc., Winfrey’s production company, declined to comment. Pansing, who lives in Sugar Grove, declined to comment. Attorneys in the case and Gehrls did not return calls seeking comment.

The lawsuit claims Gooch made the allegations after Pansing and Gehrls complained that he refused to work as scheduled, sometimes required that his hours be shifted so he could fly back to Chicago to “attend to his cats,” and insisted on staying in better hotels than the rest of the flight crew.

Gehrls and Pansing passed polygraph tests after the accusation but were not reinstated, the suit said.

According to the lawsuit, the jet was on the ground to refuel and take on a new crew at the time of the alleged encounter. Winfrey, Bumpus and other passengers were asleep “throughout the flight following their ingestion of sleeping pills,” the lawsuit claimed. The lawsuit seeks more than $75,000 in damages from Gooch, Bumpus and Harpo.

Oprah Winfrey’s upcoming interview with singer Whitney Houston is said to be a, “jaw-dropping, open, honest and candid” conversation that the daytime talk show queen is calling, “the best interview I’ve ever done.”

Oprah sits down with Whitney for a two-day television event starting on Monday, September 14, where Whitney discusses her marriage with Bobby Brown, drugs, rehab and how her family saved her.

“I think it’s the best interview I’ve ever done. But I guess you’re supposed to let other people say that about yourself. I can’t think of a moment, ever, when I had a stronger connection to the person I was interviewing,” Oprah said in a statement. “My approach to this interview was to not be judgmental in any way, and not to go in trying to get her to say things to make a ‘moment.’ I just wanted to be able to have an honest conversation with her. One woman to another woman. And the day of the interview I literally prayed about that all day long. I just wanted a connection between the two of us. And that is what happened.”

With friends and family looking on, including Clive Davis and her daughter Bobbi Kristina, Houston brings down the house with an emotional performance of “I Didn’t Know My Own Strength” from her new album “I Look To You,” which is expected to debut at #1 on the Billboard charts.

“I think whether you liked or loved Whitney Houston before you will certainly have a deeper appreciation for what she has been through as a human being,” Oprah continued. “And I mean, the fans are just going to love her even more.”

“The Oprah Winfrey Show: Season Premiere: Oprah And Whitney Houston – The First Interview” airs Monday, September 14, 2009. “The Oprah Winfrey Show: Season Premiere Part II: Whitney Houston’s Show-Stopping Surprise” airs Tuesday, September 15, 2009.

Whitney Houston is going to kickoff her music comeback by sitting down for her first interview in seven years with Oprah. The exclusive interview will kick off the 24th season of “The Oprah Winfrey Show” on September 14.

Houston hasn’t sat down for a major interview since 2002 when she answered questions about her drug use with ABC’s Diane Sawyer. It was in that infamous interview when Houston said, “Crack is whack” and went on to (not believably) talk about how she wasn’t on drugs.

“Good Morning America” will air a taped performance by Houston promoting her upcoming album on Sept. 2.

If there was ever a doubt of the power Vogue editor Anna Wintour has beyond her magazine, take note: even Oprah bends to her Chanel-clad will.

In a much-buzzed-about 60 Minutes interview with veteran journalist Morley Safer, Wintour revealed her “gentle suggestion” that Oprah drop some pounds before appearing on the fashion bible’s cover.

“I went to Chicago to visit Oprah and I suggested that it might be an idea that she lose a little bit of weight before she appeared in the magazine,” Wintour tells Safer.

Wintour says it was all for Orpah’s comfort, to look her best while gracing the issue.

“She was a trooper, she totally welcomed the idea, she went on a very stringent diet and it was one of our most successful covers ever,” said Wintour.

The devil wears Prada, indeed!
