Oprah Winfrey's Interview With the Jacksons
When Oprah Winfrey secured a world exclusive interview with Michael Jackson's family, she is not one to waste the rare opportunity. In a preview of the November 8 episode, Oprah threw daring questions to Katherine and Joe Jackson, including who told the children that their father died and whether Joe thinks Michael was afraid of him as a child.
But it looks like the interview is not going to be all intense. Oprah told Katherine that she was once hoping to be her daughter-in-law. Coincidentally, this Thursday, Oprah aired an episode where she met her teen heartthrob, Jackie Jackson, who is Michael's older brother. Oprah would also meet the kids, Paris, Prince and Blanket and chat with them in the dining room and the backyard over lemonade.
The special "The Oprah Winfrey Show" episode is already generating buzz over its air date. Many condemned the producers for airing it back-to-back with a child molestation episode (Friday). Oprah's team insisted that it was pure "coincidental" but Official Michael Jackson Fans of Southern California group is still not happy.
"We are both angry and disappointed in Oprah's constant need to reference child molestation shows prior to airing Michael Jackson related episodes," a rep of the group told TMZ. "Her tone seems to speak volumes... How can something so obvious be a coincidence?"

��aw 3D�?Has Picked The Best Momentum During Halloween Weekend Halloween Weekend
"Saw 3D" has picked the best momentum for its release as it attracts the most moviegoers during Halloween weekend. The horror thriller debuts on number one at North American Box Office with $22.5 million cume.
The movie gets about 92% of the revenue from 3-D screenings. Lionsgate apparently has mapped this on their marketing strategy as David Spitz, executive vice president and general manager at Lionsgate, says, "Our emphasis from day one was 3-D. After last year, we knew we needed to infuse something into the franchise."
This seventh "Saw" film is the fourth movie in the franchise to debut at number one. Despite the great performance, Spitz claims it will not trigger them to make another Jigsaw trap. "This is the final chapter of the series. The fact that we're going out with such a huge win is a great way to close the chapter," he states.
Commenting on "Saw 3D" release date, Gitesh Pandya of BoxOfficeGuru.com says, "Lionsgate was wise not to open Saw 3D head-to-head against 'Paranormal Activity [2]' since it knew it had the weaker film." In fact, "Paranormal Activity 2", which was predicted to maintain its box office crown this weekend, drops to the second place with $16.5 million gross.
"Red" has a steady third week with an additional $10.7 million revenue, suffering a modest decline of 28.6%. "Jackass 3D" and "Hereafter (2010)" follow on number four with $8.5 million and on number five with $6.4 million gross respectively.
Top Ten Movies at Box Office for October 29-31:
- "Saw 3D" - $22.5 million
