Oprah's Star-Studded Tribute Taping in Chicago!

Oprah's Star-Studded Tribute Taping in Chicago!

How do you commemorate a TV talk show that has been going strong for 25 years? A show that has broken ratings records, and hosted hundreds of A-list celebrities, and given away cars, vacation packages and dozens of other big-ticket items? A show that's launched a national book club and inspired thousands of new readers?

Well, you fete its host with a secret, star-studded, two-episode tribute. That's why scores of Oprah Winfrey fans will fill the 200,000-plus seats of Chicago's United Center Tuesday night for the videotaped celebration, "Surprise Oprah! A Farewell Spectacular." After editing, this extravaganza will make up the third-to-last and the penultimate episodes of The Oprah Winfrey Show, airing on May 23 and May 24.

Which celebrities will appear? "Who won't appear?" might be a better question. Over her quarter century on the air, Winfrey has interviewed musicians, movie stars, TV personalities, politicians, sports figures, authors and artists. At this point, she is as famous as any of them. And that's not counting the myriad number of people Winfrey herself has made famous, such as Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz.

"Celebrities from film, television and music feel a deep appreciation for the support they have received from Oprah and the show over the years," Oprah producer Sheri Salata told the Associated Press. Apart from, say, a world leader, it's hard to imagine anyone who's had an impact on so many peoples' lives. Producers aren't disclosing the content of the very last episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show, on May 25. But no doubt that will be worth tuning in for as well.

Sarak Jessica Parker & James Wilkie: Wellies Wearers!

Prepared for any rainy weather that may arise, Sarah Jessica Parker was spotting walking her son to school in New York City this morning (May 18).

The 46-year-old mom and 8-year-old son were the cutest wet-weather duo, as they both protected their tootsies from any impending puddles by wearing matching pairs of wellies.

The always-busy SJP has created quite a buzz of excitement, after she recently revealed interest in possibly participating in a third "Sex and The City" movie.

Parker recently told MTV News, "I think there is perhaps one more small, important story to tell. Whether or not we choose to do that and when we choose to do that remains, obviously, the unknown, but it's nice to ponder."

Cameron Diaz Covers Maxim Magazine

Camron Diaz

She?s never been one for a traditional way of thinking, and Cameron Diaz feels like marriage is a dying institution. The ?Something About Mary? babe told Maxim magazine that she?s more a fan of doing things her own way. ?I think we have to make our own rules. I don?t think we should live our lives in relationships based off old traditions that don?t suit our world any longer.? ?I think a lot of people are married to people they?re not romantic with anymore. I just didn?t ever marry anybody that I then had to get divorced from. We break up. We move on.? [gallery=754]

The Black Eyed Peas promised a party at the Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday (February 6), and the pop supernovas definitely delivered, with a performance teeming with lights, dancers and surprise appearances from celebrity pals.

Following a Chatter.com commercial that showed animated versions of the Peas showing off their social-media skills, the group kicked things off with their 2009 smash "I Gotta Feeling," descending from the ceiling on illuminated platforms onto a stage surrounded by a cluster of dancers clad in white bodysuits. The foursome led the team of fist-pumping troops in "Tron"-like getups, with Taboo sporting an outfit covered in flashing lights, will.i.am rocking a shiny hairpiece, Apl.de.ap wearing huge bright studs and Fergie vamping it up in bling-laden shoulder pads.

When the speaker-busting bass of "Boom Boom Pow" dropped, the dancers dispersed across the field to create arrow-shaped formations as the glow-in-the-dark lights on their suits illuminated the stadium. Then rumored surprise guest Slash of Guns N' Roses rose from below the stage for a "Sweet Child O' Mine" duet with Fergie. The GNR great rocked a finger-searing solo in a studded version of his signature black top hat as more angular platforms and dancers moved across the gridiron. The platforms were bearing scores of marching-band musicians who blasted their horns and pounded away on their drums as the Peas went into "Pump It" and blue lights splashed across the production.

Quick streams of fog heralded the arrival of the Peas' second surprise guest, Usher, who swooped in on a long chain to bust out his will.i.am-assisted joint "OMG." Rocking a sparkly collar on an otherwise all-white ensemble, the R&B hitmaker cranked out several counts of energetic choreography, enlivening moves from his "OMG" video and at one point jumping over Will and landing in a split.

A spray of pyro ushered in the collective's breakout 2003 hit "Where Is the Love?" as the oddly shaped platforms spelled out the word "Love" in bright-red letters. The team of dancers, which appeared to have multiplied to over 100, formed hearts across the field as will updated the lyrics of the smash with lines like, "Obama, let's get these educated."

Then the group jumped ahead to their most recent single, 2010's "The Time (Dirty Bit)," as several back up hoofers rocking cubed helmets joined the Peas onstage and dancers lined up along the gridiron to simultaneously bust out the Running Man, a move which drew cheers from the crowd.

The platinum-selling Peas wrapped up the performance with a reprise of "I Gotta Feeling," as the quartet triumphantly signed off amid of blitz of fog, firepower and flashing lights.

Ripping the halftime show was clearly a touching moment for will, who tweeted beforehand, "Me and apl started the peas when we were 16 yesterday we were dreamin now were livin it. Wow. I'm not crying out of sadness or nervousness its joy and pride and memories and the journey."

And once the crew left the stage, the frontman was not only proud, but pumped. "That was so freakin sick," he wrote. "Wow...!!!"
