It's possibly a lil' TMI, but Oprah Winfrey says she's back to 200 lbs. and she's "mad" at herself for letting it all go to ... her waistline.

"I'm embarrassed," says O, in the new issue of her mag. "I can't believe that after all these years, all the things I know how to do, I'm still talking about my weight ... 'How did I let this happen again?'" Apparently since slimming down to 160 in '06, she's put on 40 big ones.

Fantasia Barrino says reports she's about to lose a house are hogwash.

So the county will be auctioning off the house on January 12, 2009 unless she ponies up. She's also got another house nearby.

The rumored-to-be-engaged couple looked like they were picking out gifts for their wedding registry at Crate and Barrel this weekend -- because they were picking up and scanning a whole bunch of items in the store.

A website that specializes in hooking up married people behind their spouses backs called The Ashley Madison Agency allegedly fired Sarah Symonds as their UK spokescheater because she wasn't "discreet enough" for their liking. Symonds wrote a book about being a mistress and has been named the "other woman" in several high-profile affairs.

If you heard recently Angelina Jolie is pregnant with the latest member of the Jolie-Pitt football club, it's not true.

Miley Cyrus officially turned 16 yesterday, even though she's been celebrating it for ... about a year.

And there were untold levels of Freudian complexity over the b-day weekend, according to Perez Hilton, who reports Miley, BF Justin Gaston, and dad Billy Ray Cyrus went to tattoo parlor on Friday night. It was papa C who got inked up, while Miley and Justin swapped saliva during the tatting-up.

Thing one: If they had a kid the modeling contract alone would set records. Thing two: If Zac could hit that who cares that Robert Pattinson is the new Zac Efron.
