Watching the show right now! How fun! When John Travolta danced on out there I thought I would faint! He was making more than Oprah teary with those sweet things he said!

I liked the videotapes of the birthday wishes from the African orphans that Oprah helped. Their faces and words brought tears to Oprah's eyes, and I am sure to everyone else's, as well.

Yep, I certainly loved the show!!

I loved how she is embracing 50. I love how she has weathered so much from a tv stand point, and stood firm her ground, and has made a difference. So different from trash tv (aka Jerry Springer...) ah well..

Happy Birthday indeed!!

Yes those earrings were amazing... her makeup guy should win some kind of an award or the lighting people - she looks so gooood. Loved what Jay Leno said and Sidney Poitier too, she has many many admirers from all walks of life!

I was sick with the flu yesterday and it was a great pick-me-up to watch on the tube.

Oprah is such a wonderful and remarkable human being...the world is definately a better place with her in it.

I hope I can look half as good a Oprah when I turn 50

But did you catch it when . . . ? I wish I had taped it as I was watching. The clip of -- was it Will Smith? -- telling a joke as he was wishing her a "happy birthday". Ended with something like her being greater than God? After he said it, I wanted to see her face right away. I thought I caught a momentary startled, questioning, puzzled, etc. look on face. Anyone else?

Does anyone still have it on tape? What were the exact words of that line?

ETA: I can remember when she first came to Chicago and was on a "A.M. Chicago" type program with Steve Edwards about 20 years ago.

P.S. Were you watching in January of '96? I was on with her. She spoke to me in the front row of the audience which was planned.

I don't remember exactly what he said, but I'm pretty sure he was doing a bit with a 'take off' from the scene in Roots where the parent (father) holds the baby to the sky offering it to God when naming it... he was being goofy and his wife was hilarious with her dead pan expression.

Dahli, That's kind of what I thought too -- that it might be a take-off on "Roots", but at the same time I didn't think the last line quit fit that. I'm not sure though. I wanted a good look at her face as soon as he said it.

I'll admit, I'm starting to get a little tired of her.

I could be wrong as I was only half watching, but I thought she was giving startled WTF look just because it was so off the wall weird. It was not your typical happy birthday message. It kinda weirded me out to because it did not even make sense.

Here's a photo from her website that shows the earrings. FYI, they're doing a wrap up of the birthday weekend this Friday if you're interested in watching/taping.

I know a couple of people who were caterers at her private birthday party in Montecito. They said she was very nice. Don't know yet if they got good tips though!

What a huge improvement this year in the way she looks. I mentioned before I bet the gals from 'What Not to Wear' are dressing her now and it really shows, she used to look so goofy in some of the clothes she wore, but it;s consistently good lately The thermage treatments don't hurt either...
