While pop culture is simply NOT the most important thing in the world, it is worth noting and being in the KNOW with what is going on every now and then. This week was definitely a noteworthy week of “goings on”. We’ll begin with the queen of daytime talk, and arguably one the biggest entertainment influences of the last quarter of a century, OPRAH!
She has been on television on her own show for 25 years and many of us cannot remember a day in our lives when we could not see her on The Oprah Show. She started her own book club with an international following. She has “aha” moments and her favorite things. She has told stories, touched lives and honored legends. She’s gone through her moments of personal struggle, and shared her pains with us. She has opened her own school, helped countless others fulfill their wildest dreams and set an example for the world on what it means to give to strangers in the global collective. Whether you are a fan of hers or not, unequivocally she has been a force in our lives either directly or indirectly, and no one will be able to say again each and every day, “Did you see Oprah?”
…. On another note, Scotty McCreery is the 2nd winner of American Idol from North Carolina. I must confess that I did not watch this season, but there must be something in NC water that births singers...
Another reality show that ended this week was Dancing with the Stars. Hines Ward of the Pittsburg Steelers won the trophy in season 12. While I have not watched dancing with the stars every season, Hines has been a joy to watch and was consistent throughout the season. While Chelsea Kane was arguably the best dancer and Kirstie Alley the most endearing, Hines’ charm oozed out of every dance. I’m glad his fans voted so that he could win the Mirror Ball Trophy.
Cheers to Oprah, Scotty & Hines!
