Don and Betts will be making a special appearance on Monday's Oprah, which will feature people smoking on her show for the first time. Of course there won't actually be smoking. There will be audience members dressing up, but it will still be weird to see those two in civilian clothing.

CELEBRITY BUZZ: Oprah paid for 2,000 people (staffers and their guests) to take a 10-day Mediterranean cruise that allegedly resulted in pure debauchery, including naked drunks, a forgotten passenger, and a couple caught having sex on deck. With O's hubby Steadman nowhere to be found, Gayle King made sure to hop on board, but not because she's Oprah's gal pal or anything. She just wanted to steer the boat.

In an interview with Diane Sawyer, Rod Blagojevich admitted that he seriously considered Oprah as President Obama's Senate replacement. He later recited some lines verbatim from a Rudyard Kipling poem (wtf). This guy just needs to shut up.

CULTURE BUZZ: The author of the Oprah-endorsed Angel at the Fence: The True Story of a Love That Survived , a memoir about living through the Holocaust, is coming under fire for possible fabrication. Even Holocaust survivors are pointing fingers, saying his story of being slipped food by a girl whom he later married after meeting on a blind date seems completely implausible.

If you didn’t think one could fashion the iconic Japanese character into merchandise like face masks, cavity fillings, and, um, guns, then consider yourself schooled. Seriously, if the world is owned by three people, it’s Bill Gates, Oprah, and that darn cat.

TV BUZZ: Oprah invents a new word which she defines as a woman who’s completely let herself go. An eloquent usage of onomatopoeia, but will it make its way into your everyday vernacular? Oprah seems to have her sinister ways.
