Tattle: Oprah has a new way to channel her power

IF ONLY Oprah had more to do.

Between the TV show and the magazine and the South African school and the ABC series starting in March and the XM satellite radio channel and producing movies and shows, could there possibly be any hours left for her to accomplish anything else?

Turns out, yes.

She's getting her own channel.

Discovery Communications and Oprah announced yesterday that the Discovery Health network will become OWN - the Oprah Winfrey Network.

The cash-free transaction involved Oprah turning over her Web site to Discovery and Discovery naming Oprah chairman of her new channel, currently available in 68 million homes. So said David Zaslav, Discovery Communications chief.

"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," Zaslav said.

Colts Neck man arrested after threatening to shoot police

Court home after receiving a call about a domestic disturbance there, authorities said.

When police arrived at the home just after 5 p.m. Thursday, Leon Murray opened a second-floor window and told police he had a gun, said Detective Sgt. Joseph Whitehead.

Murray threatened to kill the officers so he could be on the news, police said.

The Monmouth County Emergency Response Team was called, but before they arrived, the 50-year-old tried to jump head-first out of the window, police said.

But police used a ladder to secure him, and then they took him into custody, Whitehead said.

Murray was charged with terroristic threats and criminal mischief.

The domestic dispute began when Murray tried to take another family member's car without permission, police said.

Three weeks until it begins anew

It's only January, but two early frontrunners for my top 10 CDs of 2008 were releases this week from two Georgia-based bands: The Whigs' Mission Control and the Drive-By Truckers' Brighter Than Creation's Dark. Also, Atlanta band The Selmanaires have just released another excellent CD, Throw in local bands the Black Lips, Manchester Orchestra and Dead Confederate, and it's a really great time for rock in the Atlanta area.
