Oprah Winfrey AND Gayle King have been best friends for almost half a century, and in all those years, the media buff has never seen the “CBS Mornings” host take a sip of alcohol.

The “The Color Purple” producer teased her friend for being so direct, reminding her of the time she asked for a special drink at Tina Turner’s wedding.

On a recent episode of “King Charles,” the CNN talk show hosted by King and Charles Barkley, the former basketball player told Winfrey that he would reasonably spend time along with her because she would take a sip occasionally.

The former talk show host appeared on the show to speak about her recent documentary, “An Oprah Special: Shame, Blame, and the Weight Loss Revolution.”

The conversation referenced Winfrey stating that eating disorders are like people scuffling with drinking, but some people didn’t see it that way in the late Eighties and early Nineteen Nineties.

“They said, ‘just put the bottle down,’ because no one understood that for some people – not everyone who drinks or drinks excessively becomes an alcoholic – but if you carry a marker or a gene that allows you to develop alcoholism, then then alcoholism develops.”

To soften the tone, Winfrey turned to her friend and said, “I can drink you under the table,” and she still won’t change into an alcoholic.

“She’s not lying,” King replied. “I can drink tequila to almost anyone,” Winfrey then said, which appeared to be music to Barkely’s ears.

“Barkley says he loves hanging out with the ‘Beloved’ actress because we go out and drink tequila at all hours,” he said jokingly. “I’m dating this woman. She doesn’t even drink.

“I know!” Oprah interjected. “Listen, at the last big party we went to, I swear she asked for Shirley Temple and said, ‘You can ensure you will put a cherry on it.’ I mean, he has no qualms about asking.

“No, I don’t drink,” Gayle joked, unwavering in her decision to not drink. Charles added: “She’s not funny at all.”

Oprah revealed how heterosexual Gayle is by sharing a story about how she ordered the strangest drink at one in every of her celebrity parties.

“We were at Tina Turner’s wedding and she asked for milk, OK?” The OWN founder made no secret of the Nutbush singer’s marriage to Erwin Bach in 2013.

Gayle said she had a reason for this. Apparently he just likes milk for cakes.

This is not the first time Big O has teased his best friend for not drinking. In fact, it’s such a joke that fans are reposting a 6-second video of him saying, “Gayle doesn’t drink, I drink” as a declaration.

Gayle hasn’t drank alcohol since highschool.

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, she said the last time she drank was when she was a “teenager” at a Christian youth leadership conference.

“I vomited for three days,” she said he reminded. “I never wish to feel like this again. Oprah tells me I can taste excellent wines, but I do not drink them.

Although he doesn’t drink alcohol, there are other drinks that he really enjoys.

He says that in the winter he likes “Starbucks white hot chocolate with skim milk,” but in the summer he likes to “order pineapple lemonade from there.”

“I also like Martinelli apple juice,” she mentioned, adding: “One night at a celebration, I ordered a Shirley Temple. I told the bartender to “make something sweet.”

While the virgin Shirley Temple appears to be Gayle’s drink of alternative, it seems her billionaire pal has a much tougher favorite. In 2020, Oprah he said her recent favorite drink was a Moscow mule, a classic cocktail made with vodka, easy syrup, ginger beer, mint and lime.

ICEM: Tracee Ellis Ross's Blunt Ponytail and more

Warm or cool? Dark or blonde? The celebrities have been divided over the past week, which caused their argument for a lot of beautiful appearances to see what sticks. From the tonal division into eye shadows to a tie between blunt cutlets and hair extension, the most effective moments existed in indecision.

While Jorja Smith and Alva Claire decided to, respectively, on a denim and stone cold eye shadow, red lip of Ayo Edibir, blushing and brown bob suited her warm disposition. Very long ARI Lennox water waves mean long blond hair (combined with small pink makeup).

On the opposite hand, Tracee Ellis Ross and the star Essence March/April Tyra Banks was consistent: blunt and raw cuts are an unexpected trend this season. But Rihanna, noticed at Fenty Beauty, meeting in Paris, preferred to stay classic. Her powdered under the eyes combined with a standard lip: a dark insole and a brand new one Gloss bomb lip oil In “Rose Amber”.

Mara Brock Akil wants to make a movie “Girls” – only needs financing

Published

By

Until now, the cultural trace of the story of Mara Brock Akil is undeniable. Her latest series, “Forever”, had all of us in our feelings last weekend (including this creator). But for fans of her earlier work “Girlfriends”, “Love Is” and “The Game” there’s also also also one query that never disappears: Will we ever receive the precise sending for ladies “girls”?

Apparently Akil wants it as much as we do.

In a recent seat in “Sherri” Akil said she was trying to revive the movie “Girls”

“I want to tell this story … I want to write an epic film (” Girls “); I tried to tell this story, “Akil admitted before I revealed that its biggest road blockade on this project was financing.

“So I have a good idea for us now,” she added. “Where is your phone? Do you know someone who has $ 50 million on your phone? Do we have five people who have $ 10 million? Do we have 10 million (people) who have five?”

Considering what variety of viewers Akil loves the work, social media users were shocked, hearing that the creator of “girls” is trying to get financing their projects.

“From the CV Mara Brock Akil should not be begging you to invest in her stories. This is crazy,” commented one user About the actual fact.

“If sex and city got two spinoff films, we can finish girls, someone will open their wallet” Another user wrote on Twitter.

While Shepherd was joking about “handing over the album” to finance the film, she also emphasized how difficult it’s to get projects in Hollywood, even throughout the case of essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially essentially essentially essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably probably essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably essentially probably essentially probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially probably essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably probably probably probably probably essentially probably essentially probably essentially probably probably probably probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably probably essentially probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably probably essentially probably probably probably probably essentially probably probably essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably probably essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially probably probably probably essentially probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably essentially probably probably probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably the most respected names in the game. The premiere of “Girlfriends” in 2000 and ran for eight seasons, giving us 172 episodes with the participation of Tracee Ellis Ross, Golden Brooks, Jill Marie Jones, Persia White and Reggie Hayes. The program suddenly stopped in 2008 through the writers’ strike, leaving too many unanswered fans about Joan, Toni, Maya, Lynn and William.

Still, Akil didn’t lose hope. And she didn’t lose gratitude for the fans base, which stays to be going to history.

“I really want to thank the audience because you didn’t let go and (I),” Akil added.
