Holding back tears, Oprah Winfrey told her studio audience Friday that she would end her show in 2011 after a quarter-century on the air, saying prayer and careful thought led her to her decision.

Winfrey told the audience that she loved “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” that it had been her life and that she knew when it was time to say goodbye. “Twenty-five years feels right in my bones and feels right in my spirit,” she said.

Winfrey talked about being nervous when the program began in 1986 and thanked audiences who had invited her into their homes and lives over the past two decades.

“I certainly never could have imagined the yellow brick road of blessings that have led me to this moment,” she said.

The powerhouse show became the foundation for her multibillion-dollar media empire, but in the last year, has seen its ratings slip 7 percent. Winfrey, 55, is widely expected to start up a new talk show on OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network, a much-delayed joint venture with Discovery Communications Inc. that is projected to debut in 2011. OWN is to replace the Discovery Health Channel and will debut in some 74 million homes.

It seems like pop princess Rihanna has found herself a new prince in ‘90210′’s Tristan Wilds.

The NY Daily News reports that the  “Russian Roulette” songstress and the actor, who also starred in the critically-acclaimed HBO series ‘The Wire,’ are dating. According to the newspaper, the two were introduced by a music producer who has worked with both of them — Wilds is currently working on his own album.

The CW star reportedly attended a farewell bash at Rihanna’s LA home this past weekend as she said goodbye to friends before heading off to promote her new ‘Rated R’ album in London. “From the moment he walked into her party,” a source told the Daily News, “Rihanna lit up.” Apparently Tristan is quite the gentleman, which is exactly what the singer needs. It is said the two will keep in touch through iChat and Skype while Rihanna promotes her album overseas and Tristan wraps up taping for 90210.

So let’s get this straight: the boy is good looking, and he knows how to act, sing and treat a lady? He’s definitely a keeper!

Thankfully by opening their wallets and not their mouths. (Not that there is anything wrong with their musical stylings, but c’mon, this is Broadway! Some people just don’t belong!)

Sources are saying that Jay-Z, along with Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith are investing their hard-earned dollars into the much talked about Broadway musical Fela! Now, how much these new producers have invested is still unknown, but it has been suggested that they all intend to attend the opening night of the production next Monday.

For those of you who haven’t heard of the show yet, Fela is a musical based around Afrobeat icon and political activist Fela Anikulapo Kuti.

Hopefully, it will turn out to be a decent investment for the trio. Broadway is a finicky business! Just ask Bono!
