Oprah Winfrey, Paul McCartney among 2010 Kennedy Center honorees
By Jacqueline Trescott, Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, September 7, 2010
Well, hello, Oprah! The Kennedy Center announced Tuesday that Oprah Winfrey, the doyenne of daytime television, will be among the five artists receiving this year’s Kennedy Center Honors.
The others are musician-songwriters Sir Paul McCartney and Merle Haggard, dancer-choreographer Bill T. Jones and composer-lyricist Jerry Herman of “Hello, Dolly!” fame.
The selection of Winfrey may be startling, but it’s not without precedent. The choice harks back to 1993 when late-night television host Johnny Carson was selected, breaking the long line of honorees who were strictly traditional performing artists. Winfrey, taking a break from taping for her 25th season and reviewing the nearly 5,000 hours of footage, let out with a buoyant “Wow-zee!” Read the rest here.

Thank you for putting this info. on your blog. I did not know about Ms. Winfrey’s recent honor. I just started a season 25 Oprah blog (thankyouoprah.wordpress.com) maybe you would be willing to check it out and give me some advice? I’m new to the blogging world. Take Care and have a great day.
Oprah looks so beautiful in the above picture. That’s my fav. look of hers (hair and all.)
Hi, and welcome to 3Chics. Congratulations on your new blogging adventure. 3Chics is new to the blogging world as well.
Personally I find it rewarding to blog about something that you are passionate about. And after seeing your blog, I can see that you are passionate about Oprah!
Ametia loves both the visual and auditory, so I tend to use more images and videos in my post. Sometimes just a diary or rant/ LOL
I don’t really have any advice to give you, other than experiment and have fun with your passion, and just DO YOU!
Stop in 3Chics anytime, and much success with your blogging adventures.
