Britney Spears Hosts A Dinner Party To Raise Funds For Hurricane Katrina Relief Efforts
Oprah Winfrey, the woman who literally has it all, was honored in her adopted hometown of Chicago, IL by outgoing mayor Richard Daley with a street named in her honor. The street directly in front of Oprah‘s Harpo Studios in Chicago has been renamed as Oprah Winfrey Way in honor of her 25 successful years in the Windy City. Oprah happily appeared at the ceremony yesterday where her street name was unveiled, check out some photos and some deets about this honor below.
On Wednesday, outgoing Chicago Mayor Richard Daley gave another departing Chicago institution, Oprah Winfrey, a civic version of a parting gift: Her own street. Daley, who will leave office next week after more than 22 years, honored Winfrey by naming a block in front of Harpo Studios “Oprah Winfrey Way.” Winfrey is ending her own two-decade-plus run as host of her Chicago-based television show. “Your presence in Chicago has been a gift …” Daley said, moments before the cover was pulled off the sign that stands in front of the studio’s main entrance, calling Winfrey “a great ambassador for our city.” Winfrey was equally effusive about Daley and her adopted hometown. “I just want to say thank you to the mayor and also to the city of Chicago for embracing me and allowing me to take a stand and make a stand here in this city,” said Winfrey. Winfrey is the latest of well over 1,200 celebrities, religious leaders, activists and others who have been honored with street signs in Chicago. The list includes Michael Jordan, Siskel and Ebert, Frank Sinatra — who has two — and the geniuses behind Chicago-style hot dogs and pizza. More than 100 people crowded onto the block and dozens more stood behind police barricades that blocked both ends of the street in one of the best attended ceremonies since the city started honoring people with the signs in the early 1980s … Winfrey told the crowd about coming to Chicago in 1984 to host a morning talk show, “A.M. Chicago,” and how she fell in love with the city and decided quickly that if she didn’t get the job she would find a job, perhaps in advertising, just so she could stay. Winfrey said having a street named after her was “better than an Oscar or an Emmy.” “It is really just a full circle, miracle story,” she said, “that a little colored girl born in Kosciusko, Mississippi, on a red dirt road ends up with my name on a street in the greatest city in the world, Chicago.”
I mean … Oprah has countless awards, massive amounts of money, her OWN television network … why not add a street to her collection of accomplishments. I can’t say that I’m at all surprised that Oprah got her own street name … in fact, I wouldn’t even be surprised if the entire city of Chicago were renamed after her. There is no doubt, Oprah Winfrey has enjoyed HUGE success in Chicago and she has shared much of her success with the city that has been so good to her. After 25 years in the biz there, it totally makes sense that Chicago, IL is now home to Oprah Winfrey Way.

Watch: Nick Cannon Gives Ridiculous Details About The Birth Of His Twins
Former Friends star Matthew Perry has released a statement announcing that he will be going away for a while in order to work on his addictions. Altho Perry‘s people insist that he has not suffered a relapse, they make clear that this month-long stint in rehab is part of his on-going recovery. You may know that Perry returned to TV recently in the ABC series Mr. Sunshine, so it’s possible that he is just making sure he stays clean so that he can return to the show when the new TV season starts up in the Fall.
Matthew Perry, who has struggled with prescription pills and alcohol in the past, is going back to a treatment facility as part of his ongoing recovery. The Friends star, 41, confirms the move in a statement that ends with a Chandler Bing-style dry quip. “I’m making plans to go away for a month to focus on my sobriety and to continue my life in recovery,” he says. “Please enjoy making fun of me on the World Wide Web.” Perry, who most recently appeared in Mr. Sunshine on ABC, was in rehab twice in 2001 and 1997. A source tells PEOPLE, “There was no relapse,” and that the actor plans to enter the facility shortly.
Making a joke in an announcement about rehab is a sure defense mechanism … but it also seems to imply that Matthew is trying to keep things as normal as possible by staying in control. Addiction is a lifelong battle and I wish him nothing but the greatest success. Here’s hoping his month away will foster his sobriety and afford him the fortitude to keep his addictions in check.

The District 2 Tributes Have Been Cast In The Hunger Games
Yesterday afternoon, seemingly out of nowhere, The Troubadour announced that Prince would be playing two last minute shows in their tiny club Wednesday night. With almost no warning, tickets went immediately onsale for an early 7pm show and a late 11pm show. Because I am totally crazy, I jumped at the chance to get a ticket for the 11pm show … and then had enough time to get a ticket for the 7pm show as well. It turns out that my friend David Russell and his friend Chris were also attending the 7pm show so we met up at the Troubadour to begin what turned out to be one of the most amazing nights of live music I’ve ever seen.
This is the message that the Troubadour sent out yesterday announcing the 2 Prince shows:
I met up with David in line at around 5:45pm and then we were met by Chris shortly thereafter. The 2 shows that Prince played last night were very different in scope and style. The first show as more laid back, with lots of slow songs and long instrumental jams. Altho the set list looks short, the songs were interspersed among 10-20 minute jam sessions of just beautiful instrumentation. Here are some photos I managed to snap of the 7pm show and the setlist played:
Early Show – Setlist:
Stratus (Billy Cobham cover)
*Instrumental Jam*
Power Fantastic
Somewhere Here On Earth
I Love U But I Don’t Trust U Anymore
Boom
*LONG Instrumental Jam*
Let’s Get it On (Andy Allo on vocals)
Computer Love (Zapp & Roger cover)
I Wanna Be Your Man (Zapp & Roger cover)
Colonized Mind
When She Comes (*New Song*)
Shhhhh
U Will Be With Me
Controversy
MusicologyEncore 1:
A Case of U (Joni Mitchell cover)
Encore 2:
Pop Life
Beggin’ Woman Blues
Power Fantastic and A Case of U were my faves but the show vibe of the show was just chill and cool as Hell. It was during this first show that I was closest to Prince. I was not 5 feet from the man all night. You could tell, it took a while for him to warm up to being so close to the audience. But once he did warm up, he was playful and joking with the crowd all night long.
The second show, damn, now that one was worth the price of both admissions all in one. While the first show was slow and jammy, the second show was LOUD, fast and really rocking. Prince came out and said, “I hope you are ready for some rock and roll” and he blasted his guitar from that track all the way until the final encore at 2:30am! It was more difficult to sneak photos for the second set but here are the few I managed to snap along with the setlist:
Late Show – Setlist:
I Like It There
Endorphinmachine
Bambi
Dreamer
Wild Thing (Troggs cover)
Colonized Mind
Brown Skin (India.Arie cover, Shelby J. on vocals)
Misty Blue (Dorothy Moore cover, Shelby J. on vocals)
Musicology
Crimson & Clover (Tommy James and the Shondells cover)
Waiting in Vain (Bob Marley cover, Andy Allo on vocals)
I Want to Be Free (The Ohio Players cover)
Play That Funky Music (Wild Cherry cover)
She’s Always In My Hair
Peach
Future Soul Song
Stratus (Billy Cobham cover)
AnotherLoverHoleInYourHead
Get Up Stand Up (Bob Marley cover w/ Let’s Go Crazy guitar riff ending)
I mean … what can I say about this setlist? Legendary comes to mind. To be able to see Prince rock out to these songs in such an intimate setting … I am truly blessed. I kept trying to remember to be in the moment, to relish what I was experiencing because it really was a once in a lifetime opportunity. Before the second show started, I got to meet Glee‘s Darren Criss (who was really very sweet and so nice) but all I really could focus on was Prince on stage. After the show, I got to meet Prince‘s #1 female vocalist Shelby J. and was able to tell her how much I love her performances. She took my hands into her hands and thanked me … it was just the most amazing night of live music EVER! There were moments when Prince would use his guitar to “battle” with Mike Phillips on the saxophone that just BLEW my mind! It was unlike anything I’ve EVER seen before. I’m telling you, I could go on and on and on about all the tiny nuances of last night’s shows but I’ll never be able to convey what it was like to be in the presence of such awesome musicianship. I am SO excited for the rest of the Forum shows that Prince still has yet to perform in the coming days and weeks but I know, nothing will ever compare to being able to experience the shows I got to see last night. I am a very lucky man.
Plans for tonight? Sleep. I have to make up for the sleep I did NOT get last night. Ahhh … what sweet dreams I’ll have :)

Les News, 051511
90210 star Trevor Donovan felt inspired to do a bit of redecorating at his home here in SoCal and he decided that he didn’t need to wear a shirt while doing so. Trevor needed to take some measurements of his balcony before he could hang up his bamboo curtain. It would appear that Trev had a bit of trouble gettin’ the measurements right, which meant that he was on that balcony shirtless for quite a while … which means that he put on quite a show worth watching.
Ahh … such a simple task … such lovely photos. All I know is if Trevor Donovan would like to come to my home to take measurements here, I’d be very happy to have him. In fact, I wouldn’t mind hanging an entire set of new window treatments in our home so if Trevor would like to come on over and leave his shirt at home, I would really be quite OK with that :D
