Dr. Phil McGraw, who rose to fame appearing on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” and eventually launched his own TV program, is opening up to ET about the news that Lady O is ending her show in 2011.
“This is a very nostalgic moment for me. Oprah Winfrey is first and foremost one of my dearest friends and obviously the person who taught me everything I know about television,” Dr. Phil tells us.
“Her show was home for me for five of the most exciting years of my life. ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show’ is the gold standard and I know that she will succeed at whatever she chooses to do next.”
A judge has upped the bond to $100,000 for Michael Barrett, the man accused of surreptitiously filming ESPN reporter Erin Andrews.

ET has obtained a warrant unsealed by a Nevada judge on Friday against the Las Vegas pharmacy that was searched last July as part of the investigation into Michael Jackson's death and where officials believe Dr. Conrad Murray may have obtained the drug Propofol.
According to the papers, investigators who searched Murray's home and office found a receipt from Applied Pharmacy Services for a transaction that took place on May 12, 2009, during which Dr. Murray apparently obtained four vials of Propofol, among other drugs. Propofol is one of the drugs that ultimately killed Jackson on June 25. Propofol was also found in Murray's doctor's bag and "on the bedside table," according to the warrant.
In other documents, police claim Murray told them that Jackson referred to Propofol as his "milk" and that he was giving the late King of Pop 50 mg of the drug "every night via intravenous drip (IV) to assist Jackson in sleeping." He also claimed, according to the documents, that he suspected Jackson had formed an addiction and tried to "wean Jackson off the drug."
Thursday night's Tribal Council was the Tribal Council of all Tribal Councils on "Survivor: Samoa." The vote was split with five castaways voting to send home Laura Morett, and five voting for Southern belle Natalie White.
When the vote is split like that, a second ballot is cast by everyone except the two named in the first vote. If there was a tie the second time, both Laura and Natalie would be safe, and stones would be drawn by the remaining castaways to see who would go home.
Three of Laura's original Galu tribe members still wrote her name down, but John Fincher took the opportunity to rid himself of a tough competitor: Laura had won individual immunity the previous two weeks in a row.
Talk-show host and celebrity cook Rachael Ray tells ET her thoughts about the news that Oprah Winfrey's show will come to an end in 2011.
Rachael tells ET: "I am going to enjoy every episode between now and 2011. Oprah opened the door for me to move into daytime television and I can’t thank her enough. I look forward to seeing what she does next…there will only ever be one Oprah!"
Earlier Friday, Oprah announced the news on her show, saying in part, "Why walk away? Here is the real reason -- I love this show, this show has been my life. And I love it enough to know when it's time to say goodbye." The tearful TV icon then said that the 25-year mark was "the exact right time," before adding that "the countdown to the end of 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' starts right now."
