The music power couple chose Winfrey for the role because they did not want to select a blood relative, a source told the gossip website Media Take Out.

Jay-Z and Beyonce have chosen Oprah Winfrey as their baby girl Blue Ivy’s godmother. Most people thought it was going to be Beyonce’s sister or Gwyneth Paltrow. A source reported that they wanted to go outside their immediate family for Blue’s godparents and really…if you going to do the godparent thing…you really can’t pick one better than The Oprah.

The music power couple chose Winfrey for the role because they did not want to select a blood relative, a source told the gossip website Media Take Out. Jay-Z’s best friend and road manager, Tyran “Ty Ty” Smith, was asked to be the child’s godfather, the gossip site reported. The cable network CEO has been a close friend to the pair and reportedly sent baby Blue a trunk full of books after her birth.

I almost didn’t post this story because I hate to spread ugly rumors about The Oprah. But when you are a celebrity blogger you really can’t ignore six-toe stories.

We first saw this picture of Oprah Winfrey wearing flips with what looks suspiciously like a sixth toe, back in 2007 at the Howard University graduation. Flash forward three years later and most people don’t even know about O’s extra toe.

But then over the weekend the story and pictured resurfaced along with the rumor that she was going to be having it surgically removed soon.

What can I tell you? The celebrity gossip world is a strange and sometimes disturbing place.

In case your forgot to set your DVR..like me..here are the first available clips from today’s Oprah Winfrey Eclipse special.

Oprha Winfrey, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Dakota Fanning and Taylor Lautner all on one stage…I’m surprised the room didn’t just explode from the sheer anticipation of it all. Oprah and the chosen ones talked about everything from Twi-hards, to Kristen’s awkwardness to the relationship rumors and Rob’s childhood dreams of being a rapper. Funny, right?

I hear the pregnancy rumor / joke was explained as well.

PS…how did Dakota Fanning get the approval to be on stage at the same time as the magical threesome? I bet Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz and Nikki Reed and Jackson Rathbone were watching with hate filled vampire eyes today.

According to the New York Daily News, Oprah is not gay. Or at least she wasn’t in the 1970′s. And…she like white boys. NYDN obtained an expert from Kitty Kelley’s soon-to-be-released tell-all, Oprah and ex-Entertainment Tonight host, John Test had a steamy affair while they were both living in the Tennessee in the 70′s.

But the white boy panicked and  abandoned Winfrey in the middle of the night after caving to “social pressures” on interracial couples, which injected tension into their relationship, Kelley has claimed.

“He said one night he looked down and saw his white body next to her black body and couldn’t take it anymore,” a Tesh ex reportedly told Kelley. He walked out in the middle of the night… He told me he later felt very guilty about it.”

The highly anticipated biography, which is due out on Tuesday, also includes the claim that Oprah’s mother, Vernita, has to call the mogul’s personal assistant and leave a message before speaking with her daughter.
