I searched the Oprah.com Home page and found an interesting post that I wanted to share on my blog. On the webpage it lists the top 15 most frequent celebrity guests that appeared on the Oprah show. Well I will narrow that list down to the top 5. I love Oprah and love to include her inspirations on my blog whenever I can.
#5 Tie Julia Roberts- With her megawatt smile and infectious laugh, it's no wonder why award-winning actress Julia Roberts has been on the Oprah Show 21 times. Since Julia's first appearance in 1989, she's become a wife, a mother of three and a dear friend of Oprah's.
Patti Labelle- .Legendary singer/songwriter Patti LaBelle has graced us with her powerhouse voice 21 times since her first appearance in 1991. One of Patti's most moving Oprah Show moments was when she paid tribute to Luther Vandross after he passed away in 2005. Patti gave us another memorable performance in 2008 when she surprised an unsuspecting fan. Win, a man who described himself as "the biggest Patti LaBelle fan ever," thought he was serenading his wife, Vickie, for Valentine's Day, but he never expected his music idol to join in!
#4 Mariah Carey has been no stranger to The Oprah Show—she's been featured 22 times! Mariah has helped make many viewers' dreams come true, and in 2005, she coached one of her biggest fans, 12-year-old Paul, through his first recording session. Paul ended up landing a record deal, and Mariah signed on as the producer!Oprah has also recognized Mriah's history-making accomplishments in the music industry. In 2008, Mariah topped the charts with her 18th number one hit, breaking a record previously held by the one-and-only Elvis Presley.
#3 Halle Berry, the first African-American woman to win an Oscar® for Best Actress, has been a fixture on The Oprah Show for more than 15 years. During her 22 appearances, Halle has used this platform to discuss everything from motherhood to racism and interracial adoption. She also unveiled her baby bump on Oprah's stage in October 2007!
#2 Chris Rock- His cutting commentary finds the funny in even the most taboo topics, which is why Chris Rock, an Emmy-winning comedian, devoted husband and loving father, never runs out of material. Chris has appeared on The Oprah Show 26 times, and over the years, he's teased Oprah about her hair—"Oh, that lucky Stedman!"—promoted box-office hits and revealed what it's really like to host the Academy Awards®.
Chris doesn't just have a great sense of humor—he also has a big heart. In 2005, cameras followed along as Chris visited the Houston Food Bank after Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast and left millions homeless.
#1 Celine Dion- Only one celebrity will go down in history as having the most appearances on the show—music superstar Celine Dion! She's been part of a whopping 27 shows since 1996.
Though her voice made her an international superstar, Celine's charm won viewers' hearts. In the past 15 years, Celine has shared some of her most intimate moments—from falling in love with husband René to bringing her first child and miracle twins into the world—and she's surprised adoring fans. In February 2011, Celine stopped by Oprah's studio one last time to say au revoir.
