Whitney Houston Tribute At 'Billboard Music Awards'
'Celebrity Apprentice' Finale: Who Got Hired?
By Karu F. Daniels, AOL Black Voices
Oprah Winfrey is on top, once again; this time for Forbes magazine's list of highest paid TV celebrities.
With her long-running, Emmy Award winning talkshow, 'The Oprah Winfrey Show,' the celebrated media maven earned and estimated $260 million dollars between June 2006 and June 2007.
While no one on the list of twenty TV stars didn't come close to her earnings, Tyra Banks did join the ranks.
The supermodel-turned-TV mogul raked in $18 million via her wildly popular venues 'America's Next Top Model' and 'The Tyra Banks Show,' respectively.
The Inglewood, California-reared fashionplate came in at an impressive No. 12, beating out the likes of Rachael Ray ($16 million) Katie Couric ($15 million), Ellen DeGeneres ($15 million), Diane Sawyer ($12 million) and Barbara Walters ($12 million).
Syndication proves to be the sweetest hangover for Jerry Seinfeld, who came in second on the list earning $60 million.
Acidic-tongued 'American Idol' judge Simon Cowell isn't just a tough cookie -- he's a smart one. The brazen Brit earned $45 million to land at No. 3, while David Letterman, who landed at No. 4, raked in $40 million.
Media coveting real estate tycoon Donald Trump, was No. 5 with $32 million.

I'm not surprised that Oprah made the list again. But I guess I didn't know that Tyra was making that much money. It's great that they have made a career of doing what they like to to most. I applaud them. As for the people who left the extremely negative comments: All I can say is follow your dream. It may make you a millionaire. If not, I may just make you happy and a lot less bitter and jealous of those who are millionaires.
We cannot all be millionaires just as we can't all be beautiful. I have accepted the fact that I may not ever make the Forbes list. But I'll still be doing what I can to make life great. You don't need to be a millionaire to give to others.

Ms. O. Winfrey and Ms. T. Banks: May God continue to bless you both. They share their wealth with others and that's a good thing. The more that they give to others, the more they receive.
