10 things you might not know about Oprah

Oprah Winfrey is all over the news. She's got a deal with HBO, she has revealed that her weight has ballooned to 200 pounds, and she plans to broadcast from the Opera House at the Kennedy Center before Barack Obama's inauguration. So what things could we possibly not know about her? Try these 10: 1. Winfrey's mother intended to name her Orpah, after the sister-in-law of Ruth in the Bible. But the "P" and the "R" got switched. Biographers have described it as a paperwork error, but Winfrey has said that the people around her in Kosciusko, Miss., simply pronounced it wrong.

Reunited Siblings Lived 300 Yards Apart

1231088370412
(Jan. 4) - A brother and sister in England who fell out of touch decades ago recently found out they had been living just 300 yards apart from each other, according to Britain's Telegraph. Ken Whitty of Stockport, Greater Manchester, and his sister, Yvonne, grew up together but were placed in the care of a family friend when their parents died. They eventually lost contact with each other after Whitty left home at the age of 21. After numerous attempts to reach his sister over the years, Whitty wrote to the Manchester Evening News asking for assistance. "I thought, it is Christmas, I am 65 next year and I have got to do something. I just had to do it this year. I did not even know if Yvonne was still alive," Whitty said.

Richardson Withdraws Name as Commerce Secretary-Designee

New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson has withdrawn his name from consideration as commerce secretary for President-elect Barack Obama, citing an ongoing investigation about business dealings in his state. Richardson, 61, who competed unsuccessfully for the Democratic presidential nomination, was secretary of energy and U.N. ambassador during Bill Clinton's presidency, and also the first high-profile Latino named to Obama's Cabinet. But a grand jury in New Mexico is currently looking into charges of "pay-to-play" in the awarding of a state contract to a company that contributed to Richardson.

Will Smith voted top moneymaking star of 2008 - do you like him?

NEW YORK (AP) — No name on the marquee was more pleasing to theater owners in 2008 than Will Smith, according to a survey of movie exhibitors. Smith, star of "Hancock" and "Seven Pounds," was voted the star who generated the most box office revenue for theaters in an annual survey by Quigley Publishing Co. Smith is only the second black actor to be chosen in the Quigley poll, which since 1932 has asked movie exhibitors to vote on the 10 stars who brought in the most business. Sidney Poitier topped the poll in 1968.
