Oprah Makes 385 Million A Year

Some things are too massive for me to comprehend, like space or Prince Fielder. So when I heard this, I couldn’t really wrap my head around it:

Usmagazine reports Oprah Winfrey earns a whopping $385 million a year.

If Oprah deserves that much money, that would mean she’s roughly 7500 times more valuable than me. Hmm, yeah, that pretty much makes sense. Okay, but fine, maybe Oprah is worth that much, but the article also says this:

Kyra Sedgwick takes home $275,000 per episode of TNT’s The Closer, making her top- earning actress on a cable network drama.

First of all, I’m pretty sure The Closer isn’t even a real show, just a promo TNT runs to give you a breather between back to back airings of The Shawshank Redemption. The only way that paycheck is justified is if they’re giving her 50 dollars per promo. I think even Tyler Perry is like “Jesus, enough with these f&*kin’ Closer promos.”

If you can’t comprehend what you can buy with 385 million dollars, maybe this will help you out:

Surprise! Dr. Phil Goes Beyond Guidelines On Florida Beating Case

Dr. Phil does not know when to mind his own business -- and neither do his producers.

In the past week 8 teens in Florida taped themselves beating their 16-year-old 'friend' unconscious (see above video if you were too caught up on the Texas polygamists all week).

Dr Phil and his goons stepped right on in. They even paid the $33,000 bond for Mercades Nichols, the leader of the abusive teens to get out of jail.

One of Dr. Phil's producers walked the girl and her mom from the jail, telling other reporters to go away because Dr. Phil had exclusive rights to the story.

The 'Dr. Phil Show' has released a statement on the incident:

'We have helped guests and potential guests in the past when they need financial assistance to come on the show - assisting with clothing allowance, lost wages, accommodations, travel and necessities. In this case, certain staff members went beyond our guidelines (re: the bail being paid). These staff members have been spoken to and our policies reiterated. In addition, we have decided not to go forward with the story as our guidelines have been compromised.'

Or maybe the producers realized they couldn't legally get a story from these girls -- as a gag order has been placed on everyone involved.

So I guess the only way Dr. Phil helped this situation was by bailing the unsympathetic head bully out of jail?

Good one, Dr. P. You've done gone pissed Oprah off again.
