For those of whom have ever wondered if Oprah Winfrey was some sort of god… or a mother of, there is now proof in your hypothesis.

According to Yale professor Kathryn Lofton, there is an actual science behind Oprah Winfrey’s spiritual nature.

Lofton’s new book, “Oprah: The Gospel of an Icon” calls Oprah’s philosophy “The Gospel of You” – which is based on the idea that people don’t have to be perfect, but should always work toward their “best self.

"My Two Dads" it ain't.

As we reported last week, after shrugging off social media in general in an article for The Huffington Post, Paul Reiser found the premiere week ratings for his NBC comedy "The Paul Reiser Show" were pretty awful. Turns out they've only gotten worse.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Reiser is staring in the face of some seriously gruesome ratings for his new show in its second week.

Change is inevitable.

From the shifting of the seasons to constant switcheroo on Facebook’s interface, we can’t stop it.

Luckily, it can bring positive transformations - like the for-the-better shifts Lindsay Lohan is seeing.

Earlier this week, news confirmed that Lohan would be joining stars like John Travolta and Joe Pesci in the upcoming Gotti family flick, “Gotti: Three Generations.

Mel Gibson finally came out of seclusion and granted entertainment journalist Alison Hope Weiner an interview this week, which she provided to Deadline Hollywood. Gibson's latest film, the Jodie Foster-directed "The Beaver" comes out in limited release May 6th.

When asked if he regretted the things he said on the tapes recorded by Oksana Grigorieva, the mother of his eight-month-old daughter, he responded "of course," but qualified further.

"I believe the term you're looking for is OMG." OMG indeed! As Elena quickly finds out from a freshly undaggered Elijah, he and Klaus are brothers!� Actually, they are half-brothers since it turns out Klaus is the bastard son of a werewolf. Bless you Show for making it possible for me to type that sentence. The whole ancient Aztec Sun-and-Moon Curse that has been one of our main plot engines this season turns out to be a big old fake.

Those of you waiting for Oprah to save the soaps can keep on waiting. In a video message to fans on YouTube, Oprah told viewers she wouldn’t be stepping in to save the programs with her new network OWN. “I understand, being a fan of ‘All My Children,' and growing up watching the ‘The Young and the Restless’ and other soaps," said Winfrey. “Here is the bone marrow truth.

The spec script war is back on, at least where Dan Fogelman is concerned. After years of writers complaining that they can't sell a script that isn't based on an already-existing property, Fogelman (who had a hand in writing "Tangled," "Bolt," and "Cars") has made millions selling "Crazy, Stupid, Love" (set for release this summer), "Imagine" (on which he'll make his directorial debut), and "My Mother's Curse" (which is in production right now).

If you are hitting the theater this Easter weekend three films are opening in wide release. A romantic drama, a comedy and a nature film debut today.

"Water for Elephants": Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon sparkle in this drama about a veterinary school dropout who joins the circus and finds forbidden love in the process. Oscar-winner Christoph Waltz and Hal Holbrook also star.

Before we start, I'd just like to note that a girl in the audience has a sign that says "Steven, U Jaded Me." Really? "Jaded" is the Aerosmith song you're going to reference?

By "Steven-isms," Ryan, you mean "f-bombs."

Haley, Lauren, Stefano and Jacob perform Train's "Hey Soul Sister." It's a crappy song choice to begin with, and the harmony doesn't help them any.

The search for the new Bourne star is over. After a lengthy casting a screen testing process, Universal has finally decided on Jeremy Renner to be the new face of the franchise after the departure of Matt Damon.

Given Renner's track record so far, it's an excellent choice: Renner has been nominated for Oscars two years in a row, one for "The Hurt Locker" and once for "The Town.
