After 17 years on the air, Montel Williams and his talk show have been canceled. According to various outlets, the syndicated talk show’s fate was reportedly sealed when a number of FOX-owed stations decided against renewing the show for another year (could it be because of what he said over the weekend?). Show production will continue through the rest of this season so new episodes should air for some time.
The Montel Williams Show first hit the airwaves on September 30, 1991 in New York and a few other markets. It was picked up for syndication the following year. The show generally focuses on uncontroversial subjects, personal stories, and the readings of self-proclaimed psychic Sylvia Browne. The show was nominated for Daytime Emmys in both 2001 and 2002. A decorated member of naval intelligence, this was the first show for host Williams. He received a Daytime Emmy in 1996 and was nominated in 2002.
The Oprah Sarcophagus
Controversial US artist Daniel Edwards has cast the presenter in this bronze sculpture as a nude, “full-breasted woman with generous child-bearing hips”. The artwork, The Oprah Sarcophagus, bears a resemblance to the coffin that housed the body of Egyptian boy king Tutankhamen. The 42-year-old New York artist says it pays homage to the closest thing America has to a living deity. His previous works include a sculpture of Britney Spears giving birth and one of Paris Hilton dead.
BEYONCE ON FORBES’ “Cash Queens of Music” List
Forbes named singer/entrepreneur Beyonce richest woman in R&B based on her concert grosses, merchandising revenue, album sales and other business interests.
According to Forbes, Beyonce, who came in #5 on the list and #1 in female urban music, earned an estimated $27 million dollars in revenue thanks to endorsement deals and sales of her multi platinum album B’Day.
damn why they hatin on montel like that?…good for bey…she is a businesswoman
lmaoo @ only making 27 like that’s chump change to you

Montel I hope his show didn’t get canned because he expressed his opinion, because if it is it a shame.
That Oprah thing is not flattering at all I would be pissed.
Damn Beyonce is officially the baddest chick in the game. She got money, power, success, fame, looks, and she the richest in rnb. Damn ma I ain’t mad at ya!

Ummmmm. since u cant grasp the concept this us a BLOG and what usually happens is they post pisctures and stories and they allow the visitors to submit comments to expess they’re take on the situation ..so that poses the question if he whole exchange is pointless to you where is the logic in you stopping by and posting your comments?…Ok sweetie BUH BYE!
Anywho –I think the artist who did Oprah’s sculpure did exactly what he intended which was to have people discussing his art, thats why he does pieces of famous folk to garner some attention -very smart , and it think the sculpture is interesting
Montel shows was cancelled because the ratings have been slipping for a long while now. It had nothing to do with his comments — now he may have been a little more free with his comments because he knew the announcement about cancellation was about to be made.
I mean if it weren’t for the post earlier this week about his comments – would his show being cancelled even get any attention?
Judge Hatchett was cancelled too.
Clear I have to agree with you. I mean I’m not hatin but you see beyonce in E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G and thats it. Things that make you go hmmmmm.
@#35 (please don’t get angry) Beyonce never made forbes list before. so that tells you whats the worth. And for the record if you saw the forbes special on hbo a couple of months ago- Mariah Carey is the richest and I’m not a fan of hers. Don’t get me wrong, its just you would think with all the stuff she’s been in, got going, endorsing- Beyonce would have been more than what Mariah or God is worth.
#68 Hate to break it to you!

I LOVE YALL!! SHUT THEM IGNORANT HATERS UP…
DON’T YOU HATE WHEN PEOPLE SPEAK WHAT THEY “THINK” THEY KNOW WHEN THEIR FLAT ASS WRONG!!
HATERS KILL ME! ESPECIALLY THE IGNORANT ONES LIKE #68.
These folks kill me!
MAYBE IF THEY WOULD GIVE THE FULL ARTICLE PEOPLE WOULDN’T BE MAKING AZZEZ OUT OF THEMSELVES.
FINAL TIME THIS IS APPROXIMATELY HER EARNINGS FROM JUNE 2006 TO JUNE 2007 A YEAR…….SHE MADE THAT FOR THAT TIME PERIOD ONLY!
That’s my B! Make that money
Beyonce should be on the forbes list, in fact, for as much ass as she kisses, that unoriginal heffa should be number one on the list. I mean seriously, i wonder how much more steelo stealing, backstabbing, lyric stealing, copy-cattting, oops, i mean paying homage, and double dealing she has to do to get the number one spot? hmmmm……
^^^This must really kill some folks.
I’m so over Montel anyway, about time they cancelled his show. It was soooo boring…I think he’ll find another space in life that will give him satisfaction. But that show was a sinking boat.
No comment on that oprah sculpture….seriously.
If people would learn how to read then they could see that it clearly says from 2006-2007. Isn’t that ONE year. So that is what she made in a year NOT what she is worth. She’s worth 100 million and is the Richest woman in Rnb like the article clearly states.
“Clear” must be “StylesP” because I refuse to believe that there are 2 people who can’t read. Seriously read the article next time because ya’ll sound so stupid saying that she’s only worth 27 mill when that’s what she made in a year and she’s reall worth 100 million. Regardless she is still the richest woman in rnb so bow down bitches! LOL
LOL @ Kelis. Yeah everybody on CL knows Jscene is a psychotic who’s jealous as hell of Beyonce’s success.
Did you read the best part Jscene? RICHEST WOMAN IN RNB. So choke on that shit because we all know it probably kills you to watch Beyonce become more and more successful every day. ROTFLMBAO Poor Jscene. LMFAO
Damn say what you want about Bey but she is killing every chick in the game. I mean she’s already the most popular now she’s the richest too? Damn she is the Queen of hustling. These other female artists need to take notes.
Well Jscene your the #1 scally wag on Concrete Loop, so I guess its nice to be #1 at something……….right? Wow, you have become so predictable when it comes to Beyonce. Do you not see there are two other subjects on this post. But what was the one subject you just had to comment on? THE BEYONCE ONE. Yeah I see it……….you mad, maybe somewhat jealous. Jealousy is not attractive on a woman. Then again what sane man would want a such a hateful bitch.
Sit down somewhere and drink a big glass of SHUT THE FUCK UP.
And quit calling people out for being stans. Stanning is alot better than hating on someone. Hating takes too much work and I hear it causes wrinkles. So you must be one wrinkly heffa. Jscene give up your war against the Knowles chick. It isnt worth it. I mean you have been told off by a number people on this site. Why do you keep setting yourself up for failure. Makes no sense. I tell you……..such a scally wag.
The End.
Congrats to Beyonce – she made in a year what 27 million people don’t see in a lifetime.
Now, add that to her other years and she’s sitting on top of the world. I see why she’s embarassed about her earnings and doesn’t like to talk about it. And add in Jay…. GAT DAYUUMMM!!!!
Well deserved – real talent brings in real cash!!!!!!
Beyonce — Can’t knock her hustle… that girl works.
I remember watching an episode of Montel with that psychic woman and thinkin to myself “will they ever cancel this TV show”? I guess my question has been answered… Whoops
#60 I concur
the art work is inspired by the Venus of Willendorf
@ #20 Cause I’ma Laaaaady
YOU HAVE ME LAUGHING MY ASS OF IN REGARDS TO THAT COMMENTS. SYLVIA DEFINITELY COULD HAVE WARNED HIM. lololololollOLOLOLOLOL. i can’t stop laughing
@ Clear
If anyone is an airhead it’s you because you “clearly” can’t read(pun intended). Go back and read the Raven Simone article in Essence she is NOT worth 400 mil her brand overall has generated 400 mil for disney, music and other area’s of entertainment. If Beyonce brand earnings were calculated (including what she’s done with DC) from movies to music and endorsements she’s generated the entertainment industry well over 1.5 billion dollars. And again as everyone else stated she earned 27 mil in a years time that’s damn good for a 26 year old by any standard.
I haven’t watch Montell since 2004.
They should cancel Maury and Jerry Springer as well.
That sculpture of Oprah is ugly.
I hope that Beyounce saves some of that money when she retires someday.
@6&9 Ya”ll funny thanks I needed that laugh,CL has been posting some seriousness here lately,it was good to laugh to even things out.
If Ms.Browne was so psychic then why are there so many MISSING PEOPLE and UNSOLVE CRIMINAL CASES? Come on Ms.Browne AMERICA NEEDS you! One more thing Ms. Browne where in the HELL is OSAMA BIN LADEN at?
I never watched Montell anyways, but you know Fox wasn’t happy about his truthful comments…
Bey looks good in this pic. CHA-CHING$$$
1. It’s about time Montel got the boot, him and his little psychic buddy need to move around.
2. # 22 said: “BTW, when did the hoe’s come out of the woodwork? re: #7″
LMFAO! You need to get out of my head because that’s exactly what I was thinking when I saw that cold mess!
3. I’m not surprised B made the Forbes list, she works hard enough. Congrats!
#65 first of all i cant write to who ever when ever the hell i want to im celebrites gettin rich off of us we buy they shit so next time u decide to write glam fashionista please come correct SWEETIE NOW U BUH BYE!!! BIOTCH!
I am so sick and tired of people being jealous of Beyonce – I don’t believe that Bey is the richest woman in R&B, but also in Pop as well – who else has grossed as much as Bey did from 2006-2007?? They hate at every turn. Beyonce is not running around like most of the young stars and yet people always find something wrong with her, her looks, her family and her business ventures – and Blacks lead the pack when it comes to hating on Beyonce. Bey is almost 30 years old and she knows that the day will come when she we no longer be as marketable as she is now – so she is doing the smart thing and getting everything she can while it’s hot, while she’s on top of her game. Beyonce is already a legend – doesn’t make sense to wait for the mainstream media to say it. Beyonce is a respectable woman, who has never done anything to shame her family or the black race. We should be happy for her, but many of us are not. We hate on each other worse than whites do. Well, I’m not jumping on the hater band wagon – give credit to where credit is due. Beyonce has never won an award, or granted an endorsement deal just for the hell of it – everything Bey has accomplished or acquired so far is simply because, she deserved it. The same thing can’t be said for alot of these white female entertainers running around like crazy.
Go Beyonce – I am proud of you!!
He is obess of with young, white girls, his show sucked, and Iam glad he is gone. ALso does Montel have a problem with the excessive coverage of Missing white girls…Iam sick of hearing about that….I feel for their families..but why doesn’t he mention the troops when they keep talking about Natalie Holloway
I sooooooooooo totally agree with #97.
Get, Get, Get It!!!!
Get It Bey!!!!
