"Oprah's Next Chapter"

Eonline reports that Oprah Winfrey will be launching "Oprah's Next Chapter." The series which will be aired on her network Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) will showcase the talkshow host traveling the world, interviewing celebrities, newsmakers, so as real-life families, and leaders.

Winfrey stated, "After 25 years, I got myself out of the studio chairs," Winfrey said in a statement. "I moved into the next chapter, and I am having more fun than ever—moving around the country and the world talking to people I'm really interested in getting to know and I think viewers will be, too. It is so energizing to be out and about in the world exploring new people, new places and new ideas."

"I sat at the dinner table with a Hasidic Jewish family and tried to explain to the children who have never seen a television what TV is...can you imagine? I fire-walked with Tony Robbins—never pictured myself doing that! I celebrated the power of God and community with Joel Osteen and I'm planning a trip with Deepak Chopra to India where I've never been."

The show will premiere on January 1st, 2012 and will be a two-hour episode with Steven Tyler (Aerosmith) in his New Hampshire home.

Other guests to appear in Winfrey's new show are Food Network star Paula Deen's Georgia, Star Wars creator George Lucas, and Sean Penn.
