Dr. Mehmet Oz
Millions of women turn to "Dr. Oz" for advice about bathroom habits and other TMI issues. But before he landed his own show in 2009 (backed by Winfrey's Harpo Productions), he made regular appearances on "Oprah."
-
Suze Orman
Oprah helped money guru Orman skyrocket to fame by inviting her to make regular appearances (and show off those jackets) on "Oprah."
-
Rachael Ray
Ray went from Food Network star to media mogul when she signed a delish deal with Oprah in 2005 to host her own syndicated show.

Nate Berkus
The cutie-pie interior designer's partnership with Oprah led to his own syndicated show, "The Nate Berkus Show."

As Oprah Winfrey says goodbye today after a 25-year run on daytime television, there are some "celebrities" who owe her one heck of a thank you note.
From tough-love advice dispenser Dr. Phil to money guru Suze Orman to 30-minute meal-maker Rachael Ray, Oprah has a knack for making other people super-famous -- especially when she's getting a cut of their paychecks. (We're talking to you, Nate Berkus and Dr. Oz.)
And other than Gayle King, is there anyone else in the world who is famous simply for being someone's best friend?
But during the final episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show," which was taped on Tuesday and airs Wednesday, Oprah was the grateful one.
"Twenty-five years and I'm still saying, 'Thank you America,'" Winfrey said, according to The Associated Press. "Thank you so much. There are no words to match this moment."

none of them have anything on obama. you get free security, white house, air force one, among millions of other things. they aint got sh*t on obama.
The real answer is Barack Obama.
He acts like he's a damn celebrity not POTUS,
I hate celebrities.
The real woman behind the man. Not because she agrees with his agenda, but because he is half black.....
The most money was given by an Chinese businessman and of all things, Big oil gave the most for business with BP topping that list. http://www.politico.com/news/... The organizations themselves did not donate, rather the money came from the organization's PAC, its individual members or employees or owners, and those individuals' immediate families. Organization totals include subsidiaries and affiliates.
http://www.opensecrets.org/pr... Hummm
Then there is Goldman Sachs who contributed $994,000. Wait a minute aren't they the Wall St. investment bankers? Hummmm...
The UC gave the absolute most by sending students to collect donations and then gave it to Barry from UCs PAC.
Barry is half Anglo. Thats a fact though you wouldn't know it because he never speaks of his Anglo side. He must hate Anglos like his wife and minister do.
Remember, Barry is a Chicago politician. All of them are scum bags from way back and Obama is no different. Remember Blago?

I do not want to keep hearing and seeing a bunch of women wanting to know who the father of their children are.
and then the woman runs off stage. If you knew you cheated, why would you act so sure?
I don't care really cause I get a laugh from it.
so many people through the years. What about her fans who she made so happy through the years ? She is an amazing woman !
