Oprah Winfrey
With all the attention she is getting, you have to wonder why she is walking away from her successful show. In the last few weeks, O magazine has claimed headlines with her interviews with George Bush, the Jackson Family and Marie Osmond. Also, she was named the highest earning woman in Hollywood — earning more than the next Top 4 combined.

Conan O’Brien
It looks like Conan O’Brien is getting the last laugh after all. The former Tonight Show host’s new show was welcomed by more than 4.1 million viewers in the U.S. when it premiered this week; beating The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, The Colbert Report, and — perhaps fittingly — the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Michael Jackson
He died more than a year ago, but Michael Jackson is still causing controversy. This time, the newest to-do follows the release of a new song, Breaking News, supposedly by the late King of Pop. While Jackson’s family is protesting the release, the music company behind it is vouching for its authenticity. The outcome? Likely a lot of sales and downloads.

The Last Airbender
Sure, M. Night Shyamalan’s track record at the theatres has turned from gold to tarnished tin, but that is no reason why you shouldn’t pick up his latest, The Last Airbender, on DVD or Blu-ray next Tuesday.

Concrete wallpaper
Looking for a way to get that loft-living feel in your suburban bungalow? A company in Norway has created a line of wallpaper designed to look like concrete. Unique and realistic, its line includes the look of polished concrete, exposed bricks, and worn-and-torn exposed texturing. Check it out at concretewall.no.

Masters of Cinema
Anyone with a cinephile on their Holiday shopping list will want to check out Cahiers du cinema’s Masters of Cinema collection. The 10 books in the series each concentrate on the career of one of the best known movie makers of our time, including David Lynch, Woody Allen and Francis Ford Coppola. The books each sell for $11.95.

Harry Potter Magic Eye books
Remember those posters that were popular in the late-’80s and early-’90; a repetitive jumble of images that, the more you stared at them the more they turned into a single 3-D photo? Well, the folks responsible for Harry Potter have created their own magic eye book to keep fans of the series spellbound.
