Lance Armstrong sat down with Oprah Winfrey for her show Oprah's Next Chapter to discuss his controversial cycling career and drug allegations. Winfrey calls it "the biggest interview I've ever done."

When asked if Armstrong, 41, admitted that he used performance enhancing drugs, Winfrey adds, "I would say he didn't come clean in the manner I expected. He was just ready. . . He had certainly prepared himself for this moment."

Just yesterday, the AP reported that Armstrong gave an "emotional" apology to his Livestrong staffers before taping the Oprah interview.

The International Cycling Union, which chose not to appeal the USADA's lifetime ban, stripped Armstrong of his record seven Tour victories.

The interview will air Thursday, January 17.

Oprah Winfrey may be worth billions, but the media mogul still prefers to make her own Thanksgiving meal.

Lady O, 58, posted the above photos and the following: "Caramelized onions [are] so pretty they make me sing. [My] kitchen smells like home." She then wrote that she had prepared "sweet potatoes with freshly pickled rosemary."

Yum! The founder of O.W.N. was also happy to dish out the following cooking advice. "Boil the berries in orange juice. Add cinnamon, cloves, allspice and chill. Happy Thanksgiving!"

You get a berry, you get a berry, you get a berry! That infamous "you get a car" episode never gets old.

Oprah Winfrey has landed Justin Bieber for an in-depth interview which will air on OWN's Oprah's Next Chapter.

The talk show host, 58, visited the 18-year-old singing sensation in Chicago while he was on his Believe world tour. Biebs, who Tweeted that he was "swaggin it out" with Lady O, confessed that he rarely leaves girlfriend Selena Gomez's side. He adds:

"I never make [Selena] separate from me because I don't want her to ever feel like I'm ashamed of her. Because I feel like a lot of guys do that, especially in the business."

The Bieber interview will air November 25.

Oprah Winfrey is featured in the November 2012 issue of Harper’s Bazaar, and the 58-year-old television queen chats about business, pleasure and yes, she admits to reading Fifty Shades Of Grey! Somehow we're doubtful this raunchy and overrated series will end up in her book club anytime soon...

On her decision to start OWN, Lady O says, “This is the deal, when you have reached the peak of the mountaintop, which is where I was with the Oprah show, you have absolutely no worries. I’d been in the right space at the right time, and I’d done that the best way possible for 25 years. But you have two choices: you can come down from the mountain and spend the rest of your days thinking it was so beautiful there or you can create a vision, look upward, see the next mountain, and start the climb all over again.”

However, things don't always go smoothly, and Oprah admitted that it wasn't easy. “What was missing from OWN was me," she said of the networks growing pains. "It required my full-on energy. You know, this past year has been challenging, but it’s also been one of the greatest experiences for me getting to know me. What do you do when you don’t have the wind at your back?”

While Oprah claims she doesn't watch much TV, she has downloaded all three Fifty Shades of Grey novels. "Oh, I've got all the Shades, for the time I can take some guilty pleasure and just read. But I'm thinking, Stop with the story, get to the juicy part!" What else does she enjoy doing in her spare time? "Bathing is my hobby. I love creating bathing experiences—bath gels, bubbles, crystals, salts, lavender milks..." Ahh, the simple things.

Oprah Winfrey is putting herself 100% into her role for the upcoming movie The Butler.

The 58-year-old talk show host got hot and heavy while filming a love scene with Terrance Howard.

According to IMDB, the movie is about "A White House butler who served eight American Presidents over the course of three decades."

Once the production wrapped, Oprah Tweeted the above photo and the following:

"And THAT's a Wrap! Terrance Howard and me in our goodbye 'love scene'. Thanks Lee Daniels for the great experience. #theButler"

In the flick, Oprah plays Forest Whitaker's wife. The movie also stars Robin Williams, Jane Fonda, James Marsden, John Cusack, Vanessa Redgrave, Mariah Carey, Lenny Kravitz, Alex Pettyfer and Cuba Gooding Jr.

What a cast!

Oprah's long-awaited interview with Rihanna aired on her OWN network Sunday and fans finally got to see Rihanna's self expose -- she revealed her true feelings about ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.

The singer said simply, "I think he was the love of my life." She says that three years after Brown's brutal attack on her: "We're very, very close friends. We built trust again and that's it. We love each other and we probably always will."

So that's what the talk show queen's natural 'do looks like!

Oprah Winfrey's hair has been the subject of speculation for years, so the Harpo founder decided to silence the whispers by showing off her natural locks on the September cover of O magazine!

Embracing her hair "in its natural state," the 58-year-old media mogul revealed she almost chopped her tendrils off in favor of a shorter coif, but was advised against it by a famous friend!

"I wanted to wear it close-cropped a la Camille Cosby but her husband, Bill, convinced me otherwise. 'Don't do it,' he said. 'You've got the wrong head shape and you'll disappoint yourself.' I took his advice," she explained of her big styling decision.

The OWN head hauncho insists that a makeover can change everything!

"I even notice a change in my dogs when they get their summer cuts: they're friskier and livelier, feeling more themselves once the weight of the hair is released," she tells the mag.

We agree O!
