Tia Carmen AuditionS for oprah winfrey contest!

Our favorite aunt might be too wild and crazy for Oprah. She submitted her entry video to Winfrey's OWN contest for a chance to host her own TV show. So far, Oprah has not accepted the entry -- though an animated talk show is probably a great idea!  Visit Tia Carmen's Contest Page to leave a comment.
