Oprah Winfrey, who reportedly has been sharing some downtime with the Obamas at Camp David, has been reading books since she cracked the code as a child and she’s turned millions onto the joy of escaping into fiction, both contemporary or classic. But does she get paid to endorse those books? You’ll find the answer in my Who’s News column this weekend, along with:
• The story on David Letterman‘s white socks.
• What The View‘s Sherri Shepherd has to say about her new comedy.
• Law & Order‘s Linus Roache on his career arc.
• Whether reality star Lauren Conrad, of The Hills, will return to TV.
• What screenwriter Diablo Cody did in her new film Jennifer’s Body.
Plus, who shares my coming birthday, September 16th. (Hint: One of them has two cute brothers.)

In 1960, there was a t.v. show called “The Aquanauts” was based on a dive shop two friends owned and would take on odd jobs underwater. it only lasted one year, one of the buddies developed a ear infection in real life, and Ron Ely was the next guy in. My question is what was the emblem that the dive shop had when the show change to “Malibu Run” that was filmed in Malibu, Calif. “This is driving me crazy, can you help me? I would like to get a tatoo with it!
Hi; I read your celebrity page, and one of your questions regarding Mr.Lettermans socks. A long time ago someone asked the same, and the response was “Mr. Letterman wears a new pair of socks everyday, because he can! The same reason he runs across the stage just before the curtain goes up!!! Just because he can!
I love Discovery’s Cash Cab. Can you tell us more about Brian Bailey?
