TV NEWS: ARSENIO HALL RETURNS TO LATE NIGHT / OPRAH & RIHANNA INTERVIEW? / ELISE NEAL TO STAR IN TAMI ROMAN’S NEW SHOW

June 19th, 2012

Former 90s television show host Arsenio Hall is coming back to our living room screens with his very own late night show. The Celebrity Apprentice winner will be teaming up with CBS for syndication and plans to bring something different to the late-night talk show game:

“I’ll be returning 2013, fall. CBC syndication. And I’m very excited. I know it’s very crowded out there in late night. But I really believe that what I do is a little different than the way the other guys do it. And I think there’s a space for me.” [SOURCE]

When it comes to his dream guests, Hall shares that he would have Eminem as his first musical guest and would like to have others like Usher, Beyonce and Jay-Z, artists that have made their mark after he left the television world.

No word on the name of his new late-night show. All I know is, if he brings back the fist pump and whoops, I will be done! LOL

Oprah Winfrey to Interview Rihanna in ‘Next Chapter’

After interviewing Meagan Good’s new husband, Devon Franklin, wrinkling out some things with 50 Cent and chatting it up with the Kardashians, Oprah Winfrey is looking to sit down one-on-one with pop singer, Rihanna for Oprah’s Next Chapter.

In the night hours of Twitterland, the entrepreneur chimed in on some conversations and answered some follower questions on the popular social network. One follower asked about the possibility of interviewing Rihanna and Winfrey confirmed that it will be going down soon:

August 2012? Hopefully this interview won’t include Rihanna getting annoyed by the same ol’ questions…

    It’s about time! Now Rhi can tell Oprah that she left her hanging and tell her she was to busy judging the whole CB fight (not even going in on Tyra’s O wannabe ass) instead of reaching out to Rhi and just being there for her.

    Love me some O, but I was waiting for the day that SHE had to explain her actions.
