Oprah Can Save Your Life

Not that she needs it, but Oprah can't buy press like this. Reporter and former Iraq hostage, Jill Carroll, recently spoke about her time in captivity and the day she was handed the remote control and was faced with the challenge of finding tv that wouldn't upset the captors.

"I was like, 'News is out. Politics is out. Anything with Iraq was out, 'cause I didn't know what was going to make him mad."

"Anything that is inappropriate, for a pious, pious person, no scantily clad women. I don't want any of that stuff. I don't want to see any violence. I didn't want to give him any ideas," she said.

Finally, she came across an English-language channel from Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

"I came across 'Oprah'. ... I thought, 'OK, this is good. She won't have anything weird on. She won't have anything bizarre. No naked women running around, or, whatever," Carroll said. "So we watched 'Oprah'."
