- On Congress and the FAA Furlough – Back to work
- On Redmond O’Neal – August 2nd…arrested and some tough love from the judge. Both Ryan and Tatum were with him… heartbreaking…but Gayle is right…people are pulling for you Redmond. People want you to be ok.
- On Jess Cagle and entertainment news for Friday – Adding some sunshine…Entertainment Weekly’s Jess Cagle talks about which summer movies are worth the price of the ticket right now.
- On Viola Davis and “The Help” – What looks like an amazing little movie, Viola Davis talks about her role in “The Help” and gives us a little understanding of Southern hospitality. Admitting she started the book with an attitude, she says she was won over quickly…and obviously so proud of her role in this movie. A book worth the read. A movie worth the trip. Viola makes me want to run out and see it now!…but it’s not out yet. “You are kind, you are smart and you are important.” Love and compassion…”The Help.”
- On Ali Velshi, CNN’s SMART Money Man – Just a little aside from why he’s here…Ali tells us that he has seen the movie in a special screening and was moved by “The Help.” But the reason he’s here…to talk about the economy. As CNN’s Chief Business Corespondent, he’s spelling out the drop in the markets and what that means to us. 116th largest percentage drop…so don’t get all panicky. “It wasn’t as big a deal as we thought it was.” The number sounds bad…but it’s been worse so don’t panic. The reason for the investment stress – some European actions and since we are all one big market…people’s actions may send ripples everywhere. Ali is so smart…
- On Glamour Magazine’s Cindy Levie – Cindi Leive of Glamour talks about this month’s stories and reveals what men say they want the most in the bedroom. Gayle gives us a little communication help…when talking about oral sex…she calls it “OSing.” Making up words…keeping the conversation going. Here’s a little of the interview.
The week is over…thanks Gayle for making it more fun…and for keeping it real at OWN! Happy weekend! Onto the day…
