Oprah's coming to Hamilton, Montreal

Quick. Somebody polish the silverware. Oprah's coming.

She'll be in Hamilton on Saturday April 13 soon after a stop in Montreal at the Bell Centre on April 11.

According to a press release Winfrey will "share stories and insights from throughout her life and illustrate ways attendees can take control of their lives to reach their full potential.''

The main event starts at 7:00 p.m. After that, there will be a question-and-answer session. When Oprah recently toured western Canada CBC-TVs George Stroumboulopoulos played the part of celebrity interviewer.

In Vancouver, Winfrey talked about listening to your inner voice, whether you consider it the voice of God or, as she likes to say, your emotional GPS, on the road to self-actualization.

Tickets will go on sale Thurs. Feb. 28 at 10 a.m. You can get them through the Copps Coliseum Box office, Ticketmaster or by calling 1-855-872-5000.

In an interview with Winfrey in January, cyclist Lance Armstrong confessed to doping just a couple of hours after a wrenching apology to staff at the Livestrong charity he founded and has now been forced to surrender.

Winfrey is best known for her hugely popular daytime television program. She turned away from a he-said-she-said tabloid talk-show format during the height of her popularity in the 90s to develop a program that included pop psychology, current affairs, and some couch-jumping celebrities, but mostly segments about living your best life, complete with book clubs, favourite things and a-ha moments.
