Oprah Pitches Two Reality Shows

We are big fans of reality tv in the Glitter and Gossip offices. And, like everyone else, we are also big fans of Oprah. So imagine our excitement the two came together in one shiny little celebrity gossip package! E! Online reports that she is taking her spirit of giving and bringing some generosity to reality tv. One of the shows is tentatively titled Oprah Winfrey's The Big Give and the other is Your Money or Your Life.

Here are the basics of The Big Give:

10 contestants will be given a sum of money and various resources and challenged to come up with the most creative way to increase their finances and use the cash to help others.

One contestant will be eliminated each week of the eight-episode series. The last contestant standing will have their wildest wish granted in return for making the biggest impact.

Your Money or Your Life doesn't sound quite as exciting as the title makes it sound, but I'd still watch it:

The second series will take a page out of Extreme Makeover's book, with each episode featuring a family in crisis and needing to make immediate changes or face disaster.

Enter Winfrey's crack team of experts, who will swoop in and help the family make the decisions necessary to turn their lives around.
