Larger than life Oprah celebrating 60th birthday quietly at home
Fifty came with a televised bash, celebrity friends and a black-tie dinner, but Oprah Winfrey will have a low-key 60th birthday at home in California on Wednesday. Winfrey had previously said she would have "the biggest blowout party I can dream of," but scaled back the affair after the guest list grew too large, the source said. Instead, last week she and her friends in West Hollywood attended a birthday SoulCycle spin class, an indoor stationary cycling exercise with motivational coaching. Winfrey posted a video online after the class with a group of people wearing navy blue T-shirts with "Happy Birthday Oprah" on the front. A self-made woman, she rose from poverty as an African American born to a teenage mother in rural Mississippi to become one of the world's most powerful celebrities, with an estimated net worth of $2.9 billion, according to Forbes magazine.

The main events will kick off at sunset Wednesday with a torch lighting and flag ceremony on Mount Herzl outside Jerusalem, but Israelis have already begun decking the streets with flags and making travel plans for the long weekend. Air shows, concerts, beach parties and fireworks will mark the six decades since the Jewish state was founded according to the Hebrew lunar calender. Several lawmakers have urged Olmert to quit or at least step aside pending the outcome of the latest investigation into corruption allegations against him, the fifth such probe since he took power, though one has been dismissed. Olmert has denied any wrongdoing and insisted he will continue his duties as premier, but in a rare step he has cancelled all interviews traditionally granted to local media ahead of Israel's … [Read more...] about Israel Throws 60th Birthday Bash under Cloud of Uncertainty
