Tom Hanks, Madonna, Beyonce, Halle, Usher (EVERYBODY) Celebrate Oprah's Farewell + Beyonce Performs!

We often hear about "The Power of Oprah", but I don't think any of us TRULY understand what that means......until last night!!!

Before I get into this Post, is Oprah really going off the air soon? I don't believe it....don't wanna believe it!

Everybody and their momma (and I do mean EVERYBODY) came out to support Oprah Winfrey last night during the taping of the second of two "Surprise Oprah! A Farewell Spectacular" episodes of the Oprah Winfrey Show at the United Center in Chicago. To name a few of the A-list celebs were Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Madonna, Stevie Wonder, Will and Jada Smith, Beyonce, Jerry Seinfeld, Usher, Halle Berry, Patti LaBelle, Usher, Maya Angelou, Michael Jordan, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, Rosie O'Donnell, Gayle King, Maria Shriver (YES...MARIA) and even STEDMAN (to name a few)!!!


WHEW!


Oprah, of course, became very emotional throughout the course of the evening (I would have been overwhelmed by the love). Oprah’s special airs May 23 and 24.

Check out TONS of flix + a snippet of the Beyonce "Run The World" live performance under the break....
