Talk show queen Oprah Winfrey is moving on to her next chapter, going out of the TV studio to meet and chat with celebrities on their own turf.

Oprah Winfrey, the founder of OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network, announced the launch of Oprah's Next Chapter, featuring Winfrey traveling around the country and having encounters with celebrities.

Fame brings as many perks as it does problems. Part and parcel with money and recognition come high profile lawsuits. Celebrities sue and are sued in return for anything and everything, including not liking beef (The Cattle Industry vs. Oprah) and daring to make a fan site for a favorite performer (Prince vs. His Fans). The law is constantly being perverted so some can make a point.
