Oprah Winfrey Regains No. 1 Slot On Forbes 2013 List Of The Most Powerful Celebrities

Everyone should know this by now: Never count Oprah out. Despite business stumbles and an $88 million earnings drop since last year, Oprah Winfrey returns to the top of Forbes’ annual Celebrity 100 ranking of the most powerful celebrities after two years in second place. She leads a female-dominated top 10 that includes Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Madonna, Taylor Swift and Ellen DeGeneres.
Even without her eponymous daytime talk show, Winfrey made an estimated $77 million between June 2012 and June 2013, down from last year’s $165 million. While she wasn’t the highest earner on our list, her money, mixed with strong fame scores in metrics like press mentions and social networking power, pushed her to the top.
Winfrey remains a powerful force in Hollywood. Her Oprah Winfrey Network, once a drifting cable outpost that lost an estimated $330 million for parent company Discovery between 2008 and the end of 2012, is now a smoothish-running media machine that could turn a profit by the end of 2013.
Mistakes like Rose O’Donnell’s talk show? History. Nailing must-see viewing, like her two-night interview with disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong, is Winfrey’s focus now, as are scripted shows with help from fellow Celebrity 100 member Tyler Perry. In the near future, shows that don’t star Winfrey could become as much of a draw as her own programs. Winfrey also earns from an empire that includes her O magazine, talk shows from protégés like Rachael Ray and Dr. Phil, and a network on SiriusXM satellite radio.

Fall for St. Louis; Classic for Boston

BOSTON — Getting to baseball’s biggest stage had never been the Boston Red Sox’ strong suit. Generations passed without World Series appearances. Seasons were too often marred by misfortune, blunders, collapses — an 86-year curse.

Even though they recently won two titles — in a span of nine years — success has been so coveted that the Red Sox still greet the World Series with what seems like an unquenchable thirst. Entering Wednesday, they had not lost in eight straight World Series games, a streak dating to 2004. They had barely even trailed.

The streak never seemed threatened Wednesday night as they seized on multiple defensive miscues by the St. Louis Cardinals in the early innings and steamrollered to an 8-1 win in Game 1 at Fenway Park in front of a capacity crowd.

The Red Sox flipped the calendar back to 2007 — or maybe more like 2004, when they swept St. Louis as their Cowboy Up crew of misfits and mangy stars banded together in a memorable October run. Only one Red Sox player remains from that team (David Ortiz), but the ingredients are echoed in this year’s roster — not just with the players’ beards, either, but with their play.

Wednesday was the ninth anniversary of the beginning of that series, and in the lead-up to the game, figures like Curt Schilling, Pedro Martinez, Kevin Millar and Keith Foulke were around, in roles with the news media or just lingering. Boston trotted out other celebrated players from its history, too, like the Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski, who threw out the first pitch, and the former pitcher Luis Tiant, who delivered the game ball.

But as gray skies gave way to a brisk and hazy night, the Red Sox needed no help from their past.

From the start, the Red Sox put pressure on St. Louis’s ace, Adam Wainwright, who walked the leadoff hitter, Jacoby Ellsbury, on seven pitches.

Kanye West, Kim Kardashian engagement: The ring may be worth $8M

ALL HAIL, KIMYE! The happy couple are preparing to have the wedding of the celebrity century.

Maybe the third time’s the charm.
Kim Kardashian will walk down the aisle yet again, thanks to a giant diamond valued by one expert at $8 million and Kanye West’s Jumbrotron proposal Monday night at San Francisco’s AT&T Park.
But if history is any lesson, she might not wear that bling for long.

Kanye West’s union with Kim Kardashian is a match made in prenup lawyers’ heaven. But oddsmakers and some celeb watchers don’t expect it to last long.

Online bookmaker Paddy Power puts the odds on Kimye’s marriage lasting less than two years at 2-1. That might be due to the fact her first marriage, to record producer Damon Thomas, lasted four years, and her second, to former Brooklyn Net Kris Humphries, wrapped up in a mere 72 days.

Her ex-father-in-law, William Humphries, isn’t wagering on a lengthy union, either.

Kanye West rented the home field of the San Francisco Giants to deliver an all-important request.

“Does a leopard really change its spots? I don’t think so,” the NBA dad tells the Daily News. “Not much changes. It’s just different actors this time around.”
If this love story reaches the same tragic conclusion for the new parents, West, 36, and Kardashian, who turned 33 on the day of her engagement, better have their paperwork in order. We ain’t saying she’s a gold digger, but per West’s famous song, lawyers are saying, “We want prenup, we want prenup.”
“This is not the mother of all prenups, but it’s going to have to be pretty close,” says celebrity divorce lawyer Raoul Felder, who managed the splits of former Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Martin Scorsese. “They both have careers that could become more valuable, and each one could claim the other one helped their career.”

Eyes goggle at Kim’s bauble: Kardashian posted an Instagram closeup of her multimillion sparkler from Kanye West.

Madison Avenue’s so-called Duke of Divorce likens the power couple’s union to the merging of two companies. Drawing up their prenup could take weeks and rack up $100,000 in legal fees.
Unlike Kardashian’s last marriage, she’s not the breadwinner this time. She’s worth $40 million to Kanye’s $100 million. That means it’s the groom who must cover his assets.

Robert S. Cohen, who represented Christie Brinkley and Ivana Trump in their divorces, says they shouldn’t be financially bound to each other if the Wests go south.

“They should be able to walk away without any obligation to the other, except to the extent that they do projects together, and then the prenup should deal with splitting that 50/50,” he says.

But what about that ring?
When Kardashian and Humphries split, the hoopster put the 20.5-carat emerald-cut Lorraine Schwartz rock — which reportedly retailed for $2 million — on the auction block at Christie’s, where it sold for a paltry $749,000.
While it may seem that Humphries gave her the bigger rock, Kanye proposed with a perfect, D flawless cushion cut diamond and worked with famed jeweler Lorraine Schwartz on the ring. According to Forevermark Diamond expert Adelaide Polk-Bauman, such a ring would set West back $7 million to $8 million. “This is exceptionally rare. Very few places in the world have diamonds such as that.”

Boy says classmates tried to talk Nevada school shooter out of firing

SPARKS, Nev. –  Thirteen-year-old Angelo Ferro was at the Sparks Middle School playground with friends Monday when he heard a pop about 15 minutes before the morning bell rang. He said he didn't think much of it -- it could've been someone popping a plastic bag.
But then he saw an injured boy clutching his wounded arm. He watched his fifth-period math teacher, Michael Landsberry, walk toward a student and fall to the ground.
"When he pulled a gun, we knew what happened," Ferro told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
Moments later, the eighth grader was cowered against a wall with some classmates, burying his face in his hands as a 12-year-old boy waved a semi-automatic handgun and threatened to shoot.
Ferro didn't know the boy, but said he and others in the frightened heap tried to talk him out of firing.
"You could hear the panic," Ferro said. "He left, thank God."
By the time police arrived, the 12-year-old gunman had killed Landsberry, wounded two boys and taken his own life.
There were no easy answers Tuesday about what prompted the boy -- who police are not identifying out of respect for his family -- to take a 9mm handgun from his home and open fire at school. Police said they've interviewed 20 or 30 witnesses and are looking into any prior connection the victims had with the shooter. The boy's parents, who could face charges in the case, are cooperating with the investigation.
"Everybody wants to know why -- that's the big question," Sparks Deputy Police Chief Tom Miller said. "The answer is, we don't know right now."
At a news conference Tuesday, law enforcement and school officials again lauded the teacher's actions, which police say gave students time to run for safety.
"I cannot express enough appreciation for Mr. Landsberry," Washoe County School District Superintendent Pedro Martinez said about the 45-year-old ex-Marine. "He truly is a hero."
"His actions yesterday I believe saved the lives of many children," added Col. Jeffrey Burkett, commander at the Nevada Air Guard's 152nd Airlift Wing where Landsberry served.
Police said they believe the shooter at one point tried to enter the school but couldn't open the door because of emergency lockdown procedures.
After killing Landsberry, the boy fired at a second student, hitting him in the abdomen. He then shot himself in the head.
The two 12-year-old boys who were wounded are in stable condition and recovering.
Parents clung to their children at an evacuation center shortly after the shooting while the community struggled to make sense of the latest episode of schoolyard violence, which happened less than a year after the Newtown, Conn., massacre.
Sparks, just east of Reno, has a population of roughly 90,000.
Under Nevada law, it is illegal to allow anyone under 18 to handle a gun without supervision. The offense rises to a felony if there was substantial risk the child would use the firearm to commit a violent act. However, the law doesn't apply if the gun was stored securely or if the child obtained the weapon unlawfully.

Colleges see a slowdown in tuition price increases

Average sticker prices at the nation's four-year public universities rose 2.9% this year, the smallest annual increase in more than three decades, suggesting that the steeper increases over the past few years "did not signal a new era of accelerating prices," says a report out Wednesday.
Still, the smaller rates of increase this year — across public, private non-profit and for-profit colleges — are tempered by recent declines in federal grant aid, it says.
"This does not mean that college is suddenly more affordable," says economist Sandy Baum, co-author of Trends in Higher Education reports on tuition and financial aid, released by the non-profit College Board. "It does seem that the (upward tuition) spiral is moderating. Not turning around, not ending, but moderating."
The increase in published rates for in-state students at public four-year colleges comes after increases of 4.5% last year and 8.5% the year before, the report says. Tuition this fall averaged $8,893. With estimated grant aid, the net price averaged $3,120. Average published tuition and fees for out-of-state students is $22,203, up 3.1% from last year.
The smaller increases serve as a reminder of the cyclical nature of price increases, Baum said. In 1983-84, for example, the first year for which the College Board began tracking annual costs, tuition and fees at four-year public institutions increased 11.3% over the previous year, to $1,148 in current dollars (not adjusted for inflation). Federal data show a dip in 1974-75, when annual tuition and fees fell from $514 to $512 in current dollars (not adjusted for inflation).
Even as sticker prices have climbed, the average amounts students pay out of their own pockets in recent years have been moderated by larger infusions of grant aid and tax benefits, the report says. In 2009, for example, net price dropped for undergraduates attending four-year public universities.
That began to change a few years ago. Total federal grants, for example, increased from $26 billion in 2008-09 to $51 billion in 2010-11, but dropped to $46 billion in 2011-12. Preliminary data show a drop this year to about $45 billion.
Highlights in other sectors:

• Sticker prices at public community colleges, are up 3.5%, to $3,264, this year. With estimated grant aid, students would have $1,550 left after paying tuition to put toward books and living expenses.
• Published rates at private four-year colleges, are up 3.8%, to $30,094, this year. With grant aid, the average net price is $12,460.
• Average tuition at for-profit colleges increased just 0.5%, to $15,130, and net prices average about $3,420. The study urged caution in interpreting those numbers because most for-profit institutions do not participate in the survey.

Just as tuition has steadily climbed over the years, the number of people going to college has steadily increased, though it dipped slightly in 2011. Typically, enrollments increase in a weak economy and dip again when the employment picture brightens.

Aung San Suu Kyi collects human rights prize 23 years late

Burmese opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi arrived at the European Parliament in Strasbourg today to finally collect the Sakharov Prize she was awarded in 1990.

The prize for freedom of thought named after Soviet dissident Andrei Sakharov is awarded annually to individuals or organisations who have dedicated their lives to the defence of human rights and freedom.

Although she won it 23 years ago in recognition of her fight for democracy and the rule of law in Myanmar (formerly Burma), Ms Suu Kyi had been unable to collect it as she was placed under house arrest by military rulers.

Her detention in the former capital Yangon for almost 20 years won her an international reputation as one of the world’s most recognisable political prisoners.

She was released in November 2010 and her party won 43 out of the 45 seats available in the April 2012 parliamentary byelections.

Ms Suu Kyi is currently leader of the opposition in parliament.

In a special ceremony to mark the occasion earlier today, European Parliament president Martin Schultz said “Twenty-three years later, we welcome you here, and it is a great moment.”

Ms Suu Kyi told MEPs: “If we stop freedom of thought, we stop progress in the world.”

Ms Suu Kyi is in Europe to try to bring international pressure to bear on the military rulers in her home country to speed up the introduction of pro-democracy measures and changes to Myanmar’s constitution.
