Oprah will produce risqué shows with nudity for HBO
HBO and Oprah Winfrey's production company say they have reached an exclusive three-year deal to develop movies and miniseries. Winfrey's company, Harpo Films, had been working with ABC for 15 years.
"HBO gives me the opportunity to come up with programs where we don't have to censor ourselves. Anything goes," says Oprah. "I would love to appear on HBO and do a nude love scene. Something like 'Nine 1/2 Weeks' where the sex is super hot. You know with strawberries and cream. Also, with Hardee's Monster Biscuit with a full size sausage patty and four slices of shaved ham."
Why would Oprah want to appear nude on television? She says it would give her an incentive the lose the extra weight she has recently put on.
"I know if I have to get naked for a scene, I'm going to lose that weight," explains Oprah. "Dr. Phil would be part of this too. I know a lot of viewers would like to see Dr. Phil go full Monty and show Dr. Phil Junior. But as I was saying, the sex scenes would involve food like the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Blizzard from Dairy Queen and perhaps a Turducken."

SEE VIDEO Christina Applegate: I posed nude before mastectomy
Actress wanted record of what her boobs looked like
Christina Applegate posed in the buff before getting her breasts removed.
The actress, 36, had a double mastectomy in August after being diagnosed with breast cancer.
‘I did my first and last nudie photoshoot at home,’ she says.
‘I made sure that I have close-up photographs of them from every angle, so I can remember them.’
Christina initially had doubts about the procedure because of her mum's poor mastectomy 30 years ago.
She will begin reconstructive surgery in the next few weeks to get implants.
‘The only thing I've ever seen was my mom,’ she tells Oprah Winfrey. ‘That was in the 70s and they didn't do a very good job.
'I'm thinking, “Oh, my God, I'm going to be butchered and I'm never going to love that part of me again.”
‘But I did a lot of research and they can make some pretty boobies, some very pretty boobies.’

Celebrity stock porftolios plunge 35% due to financial crisis
With financial institutions continuing to fail on Wall Street, Hollywood has experienced what one economist called "The worst crisis ever for Hollywood star wealth."
According to statistics obtained exclusively by Dateline Hollywood, the average A-list Hollywood star stock portfolio has fallen 35% this week, with some stars losing as much as 72% of their wealth.
Amongst stars who have lost huge amounts of money:
-Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt saw their portfolio decline by 26%. Sources say that will force them to return at least one adopted child to its birth parents
-Kevin Federine's stocks plunged by 54%, bringing his total net worth down to $43.70
-Ashton Kutcher's investments plummeted by a whopping 72%, though financial experts cautioned that most of the drop was unrelated to the Wall Street crisis and had to do with his decision to put all his money in a company that specializes in magic beans.
"This is the most devastating news yet for the American economy," said Navid Pring, chief Hollywood star economist at Goldman Sachs. "If celebrities aren't buying new products, entire shopping guides in Us Weekly and on The Oprah Winfrey Show could be cancelled. E!'s style experts will have no new Hollywood star clothing to mock. We'll be feeling the impact of this crisis for at least a year."
