Oprah Winfrey is one of the most powerful women in the world, and men associated with the talk billionairess gain their own notoriety. 
From Winfrey's main squeeze to the man whose couch jumping made us queasy, there's nothing quite like being in the Big O's stable.
TMZ thought it was time to take a look at the talk queen's main knights.

Can someone tell me why she's one of the most powerful women
in the world? WHY? Because she's loaded? She doesn't have anything
going for herself that any other woman has. I don't get it. I really don't.

Someone here clearly needs a REALITY CHECK......
Tom Cruise was a star long before Oprah became
a household name. Get a grip on it TMZ......
Oprah is highly over-rated.....She'll never be the
Mega-Star Tom is. This is so laughable,
a slow gossip day....HUM?

Proves my point. She's all about white people. All of her experts are white, arrogant, self-centered, attention grabbing scam artists - i.e. Dr. Phil. Thank goodness he's finally being sued for MILLIONS. She promotes their careers, agendas, causes, etc. Disgusting!
All she does is spot light talentless, egomaniacs, white people who bitch and complain about how she doesn't do enough for them. Can she have an Asian guru, black expert, midget scientist? Would it kill her to have more diversity on her show.
Dr. Phil - ugly, fat, bald - TOTAL SCAM ARTIST, racist
Dr. Oz - elitist, racist
Bob Greene - know it all, useless, needs lipo himself
Nick Berkus - California Blond DUMB - uses the word 'like' way too much
Australian guy - Gay, gay, and gay but cute
Tom Cruise - talented but over exposed. go away for awhile

Does anyone ever wonder why Dr. Oz wears his hospital scrubs on the show. Is that necessary to prove that he is truly a doctor? I don't think so. True about the white factor, but she did have Denzel Washington on the other day. He isn't a frequent guest and has enormous class.

To No. 4 yeah a lot of her men are white but gayle is black, the psychrist (what a fake) dr. phil thinks he knows everything and it looks like he buys his suits at wal mart and what expertise does his wife have? none
To No2 you are so right TMZ is dead wrong about mama oprah, she pays $$ these men well to make believe they like her, they probably all barf afterwards
As for Tom Cruise, TMZ you have to be kidding he is a MEGA STAR at 16 years old, which she will never be, you never heard him like the sluts in hollywood, no drugs, no alcoholic, just the best actor in the 20 and 21st century and the best smile in the world, why was clooney voted the best looking man, is he 60 or what, give it to Tom Cruise

Another comment. I also wonder why Dr. Phil McGraw always has to drag his wife onstage with him-and she is in the audience every day. Is she keeping an eye on him or waiting to add to the scam that most people can already figure out.

Not saying I'm a fan of Dr. Phil, but what's with the 'scam' comments and why is he being sued?

#1, I'll answer that: Money = Power. Money allows one to acquire things others can't therefore giving them more power. When you own an empire, you can call the shots.
#2, You must be joking - Tom Cruise. Yeah right! She's outpassed that has-been.
#7: She's had more than Denzel on her show. She just had Will Smith, the cast of "Dreamgirls" and has had many other black guest. People that comment about Oprah and/or her show probably don't watch it.
First off, stop believing everything you read. Just because TMZ posted the faces of these men doesn't mean these are the ONLY men in Oprah's life.
I'm always amazed at all the Oprah naysayers who always have something negative to say about Oprah. If you don't like her, why do you continually read articles related to her? Just a question.

I don't hear you people complaining about movies and tv shows that are all black. You got your black pagents and black colleges and so on and so on. If someone had a white pagent and white only college, then everyone imvolved would be called "racist". Oh and what would you call Dr. Robin!
