Ronaiah Tuiasosopo fell in love with Manti Te'o and said all his energy went into pretending to be the woman the Notre Dame linebacker came to know as Lennay Kekua. Tuiasosopo, the 22-year-old mastermind of the elaborate hoax that embarrassed Te'o and left him looking gullible, spoke publicly for the first time in an interview with Dr. Phil McGraw for the "Dr. Phil Show," the first part of which aired Thursday.

“There comes a time in everybody’s life when you’re faced with a choice,” said Comedy Central’s “Daily Show” host Jon Stewart, kicking off Monday night’s show. “Whether you would like to have sex on your desk at work — or remain employed.”

We already knew, based on the preview clip released last week, that Oprah Winfrey would ask Rihanna about Chris Brown during her interview with the pop star on Sunday’s “Oprah’s Next Chapter.” We also knew that Rihanna would get a bit teary while admitting that, in the aftermath of Brown assaulting her in 2009, she was deeply concerned about his well-being.

Didn't see enough of George Zimmerman on Wednesday's "Hannity"? The Fox News Channel program has about an hour's worth of material and will offer more on Friday's program, a channel spokeswoman said. Viewers would have seen roughly two-thirds of the interview on Wednesday's program. Sean Hannity landed the first interview with Zimmerman, who is charged with second-degree murder in Trayvon Martin's fatal shooting.

George Zimmerman sat down Wednesday night on Fox News’ The Sean Hannity Show, speaking to the press for the first time since the night when he shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

"And, if you asked me what is the one thing that has frustrated me most over the last four years, it's not the hard work, it's not the enormity of the decisions, it's not the pace, it is that I haven't been able to change the atmosphere here in Washington to reflect the decency and common sense of ordinary people - Democrats, Republicans and independents - who I think just want to see their leadership solve problems," he told CBS' Charlie Rose in an interview that aired this morning. "And there's enough blame to go around for that."

Mitt Romney had a high-profile houseguest while at his New Hampshire vacation home this weekend: Oprah Winfrey.

President Obama tells CBS News that the biggest mistake of his first term was emphasizing policy over storytelling. "When I think about what we've done well and what we haven't done well, the mistake of my first term -- couple of years -- was thinking that this job was just about getting the policy right," Obama told CBS This Morning anchor Charlie Rose in an interview taped today.

Bobbi Kristina Brown, daughter of the late Whitney Houston, spoke publicly for the first time about her mother’s death during Sunday’s episode of “Oprah’s Next Chapter,” that program on Oprah’s OWN network that you probably never watched until last night’s Whitney Houston episode.
