Tom Cruise puts the squeeze on Oprah while filming a TV segment at Tom’s home in Telluride, Colorado.

One teaser question Oprah asks Tom: “How’s Kate’s family accepting you?”

After interviewing Tom, Oprah said, “I had a great time with him, so that’s on Friday’s show. And then we’re celebrating 25 years of him in the business.”

This footage will air on The Oprah Winfrey Show this Friday, May 2.

Then, on Monday, May 5, the talk show queen will grill Cruise, 45, from her Chicago studio about Scientology, his lashing out against Matt Lauer on the Today show and his wild couch jumping antics.

Oprah already filmed the first of her two-part interview with Tom Cruise at his private estate in Telluride, Colorado.

The Queen of Daytime revealed a few details to her audience of 4,000 during this past weekend’s interview with Tina Turner and Cher at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. And apparently, one of Oprah’s production assistants asked the audience not to leak out anything they heard saw.

One audience member revealed to E! “She had everyone repeat in unison, ‘What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas’ several times.”

Same source spilled the beans on the interview: “Oprah said Tom gave her a ride on a snowmobile She also said that Katie and Suri were there for the interview, too.”

Cruise, 45, is grilled about Scientology, his lashing out against Matt Lauer on the Today show and his wild couch jumping antics. This segment will air on Friday and then on Monday, May 5, Cruise will return to Oprah’s Chicago studio to wrap up his interview.

The Jonas Brothers will appear on The Oprah Show today thanks to nearly 5,000 e-mails the show’s staff received from fans.

Their father, Kevin Sr., says his sons’ faith helps them keep their priorities straight.

“We’re not raising boys. We’re raising men and fathers and husbands,” he says. “It’s very important to us that they can live their dreams, but the first priority is that they’re good people.”

Thomas Beatie and his wife Nancy are a happily married couple and are expecting their first child. But it’s the husband, Thomas, who’s pregnant.

Despite having his gender changed from female to male, Thomas, 34, kept his female sex organs intact because he hoped to have a child some day.

“I actually opted not to do anything to my reproductive organs because I wanted to have a child one day. I see pregnancy as a process and it doesn’t define who I am,” Thomas told Oprah. “I feel it’s not a male or female desire to have a child. It’s a human need. I’m a person and I have the right to have a biological child.”

Cinema sweetheart Drew Barrymore is more in love than ever!

The 33-year-old actress definitely wore her happiness on her sleeve on Monday’s Oprah Winfrey show. Her #1 fan, 29-year-old boyfriend Justin Long, sat in the front row of the audience.

After Drew sat down, Oprah noticed a special glow emanating from Drew and asked why she smelled so good.

Drew giggled, “We’ve been traveling a lot together–it’s been great. We used the hotel shampoo.” (Justin’s hair was wet, too.)

When Oprah asked Justin what he liked about Drew, he said, “She smells great. She’s beautiful and funny–the most compassionate person I’ve ever met.”

Drew couldn’t contain herself and added, “I’ve found a best friend. It’s the best. At some point, as you decide who you want to be and the person you want to become and you grow up, you make different choices and changes in your life. This relationship is great–it’s healthy and productive and supportive and full of humor. All of our friends get along great, which is awesome because we travel together in packs. We’re having an excellent time and we’re very fortunate.”

By the end of the show, Drew donated made a million-dollar donation.

The world’s richest woman in entertainment is about to get a whole lot richer–Oprah Winfrey is getting her own TV network!

Oprah is combining forces with Discovery Communications in a deal that would dissolve the Discovery Health network to create OWN — the Oprah Winfrey Network.

“The focus of the channel will be the focus of Oprah’s brand, which is to educate and inspire people to live the best life they can,” said David Zaslav, Discovery Communications chief.

Actress/comedian Roseanne Barr has made some wild accusations in her latest blog about talk show host Oprah Winfrey and Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. Here’s a summary of what she said (with spelling and grammar fixed):

– Barack is an empty suit selling “hope” in lieu of Truth
– Oprah helped to elect Arnold Schwarzenegger. I have no doubt that she voted her purse by doing this, as she is a large land owner in California, and that ilk fears Dems because they do not want to pay their “fair share” of Cali tax.
– Oprah has given us Dr. Phil. If that was not offensive enough to decent thinking people, now she brings us Obama. He has no ideas, no plan and nothing to add other than the cynical pacification of the masses with bedtime stories about hope.
– Oprah, you play the race card and the gender card too. You are a closeted republican and chose Barack because you do not like other women who actually stand for something to working American Women besides glamour, angels, Hollywood and dieting!
– It is historical that Oprah, beloved of women, chooses a flashy man with small credentials over a seasoned woman politician with 35 years of experience…and sells that to the female demographic who look to her for inspiration!

OUCH!!!!!
