When graduating from college it's always interesting to see which celebrities that colleges are able to attract to serve as commencement speakers. Back on May 25, 1997, The Juilliard School had Superman himself, Christopher Reeve, address the graduating class.

Reeve, who had previously attended Juilliard before starting out on his acting career, was conferred with an honorary doctorate in front of the graduating class. Reeve then addressed the graduating class, with a speech that provided a strong message to the students to strive in the face of adversity and to create true art, not just what was commercially acceptable.

Check out the video to see more of Christopher Reeve's moving speech on this special day.

Oprah Winfrey's final episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" was not the star-studded mega event that her two hour 'Farewell Spectacular' was – rather, it was a subdued look back on what "The Oprah Winfrey Show" has accomplished in its 25 years on air, filled with words of wisdom from the legendary host herself.

Throughout the last episode of the show, Oprah repeatedly encouraged her audience to find their true passion in life, and to not let past hang-ups get the best of them.

"Nobody but you is responsible for your own life," she said sincerely.

She also looked back at some of the intense and startling revelations on her show where viewers, and on occasion celebrities, revealed their private heartaches and shame.

In particular, she flashed back to the episode featuring writer and director Tyler Perry, who talked about the severe sexual and physical abuse he suffered as a child. Oprah herself has said that she was sexually abused as a girl.

"Little by little we started to release the shame," Oprah said, as a compilation was aired showing audience members confessing everything from being a drug addict, to being repeatedly raped as a child.

She also spent a significant amount of airtime sharing her spiritual side.

"How were we able to last 25 years?," Oprah asked the audience rhetorically. "My team and Jesus. I have felt the presence of God my whole life. All of us have the same voice. Be still and know it. It's always there and speaking to you."

Most of all, she felt "grateful" at the chance to impact her millions of viewers' lives for 25 years.

"Gratitude is the single greatest treasure I will take from this experience," she said. "I thank you for the hours you shared with me and all that we've learned together. I am truly amazed that I, who started in rural Mississippi, could end up here. It's not coincidence that a lonely little girl who felt not a lot of love even though her parents and grandparents did the best they could, would grow up to feel the genuine kindness, trust and validation from all over the world. All of you, whose names I don't know – you and this show have been the great loves of my life."

After giving her email address (oprah@oprah.com) to the audience and viewers at home with a promise that all responses would in fact come directly from her, she ended with a simple message.

"I won't say goodbye, I'll just say until we meet again," Oprah said, in tears. "To God be the glory." The show credits rolled as she hugged longtime boyfriend Stedman Graham and shook hands with members of the audience, as well as went backstage to greet the hundreds of workers at "The Oprah Winfrey Show", many in tears as they hugged her. The show's last shot was Oprah picking up one of her beloved dogs, exclaiming, "We did it!"

After performing last night with injured vocal chords, "American Idol" finalist Lauren Alaina wasn't taking any chances with her voice as she and competitor Scotty McCreery fielded questions from the press. Rather than risking her voice, Lauren, with the help of  Scotty, spoke to journalists via old-school pen and paper.

When asked about how they feel about their odds to win tonight, Lauren said (via Scott) that she felt that "being in the finale" with Scott makes her feel like she had "already won."

As far as the possibility of a post-"Idol" duet, Scotty said they've "talked about it a lot," adding "they'll see what the future holds."

Judge Steven Tyler says he didn't know about Lauren's vocal issue until right before the show, complimenting her for singing "her rear end off" despite the injury.

Fellow Judge Randy Jackson is glad she was able to "work her way through" her vocal problem to perform last night. He praised both Lauren and Scotty for "really stepping it up tonight" like "veteran performer[s]."

Watch the video to hear more from the "Idol" finalists and judges, and tune in to "American Idol" tonight on FOX to see who will win this season.

Two of the most popular boy bands of all time, New Kids on the Block and the Backstreet Boys, have combined to put on one legendary tour for their faithful fans and we were there as they got ready the day before their first tour date.

The two bands shared one stage for the first time at the 2010 American Music Awards in November and AJ McLean called the crowd's reaction to that performance "the spark" that ignited the tour's launch.

The bands have gotten well acquainted as Donnie Wahlberg revealed, saying, "We know who's got the bad hygiene habits, whose gas is the worst … We kind of know a lot about each other now."

As if the news of NKOTB and BSB uniting wasn't enough, now "Glee" star Matthew Morrison will reportedly join the tour on July 6 in Anaheim, California and continue with the band through August 7 in London, Canada, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The new NKOTBSB tour kicks off Wednesday night at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois. NKOTBSB's first single "Don't Turn Out the Lights" is available on iTunes.

With three extremely talented and popular couples making it to the "Dancing with the Stars" finals, it was anybody's guess as to who would take home the coveted mirror ball, but tonight Hines Ward nabbed a whole new kind of championship trophy, and The Insider's Christina McLarty was first in line to congratulate the Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver on his "Dancing" touchdown.

Although it isn't quite a Lombardi, Ward treasures the mirror ball win just as he does any of his football achievements, telling Christina that his newly acquired statue has a spot "right next to [his] Super Bowl MVP trophies." He says the new trophy is a "dedication to all the hard work" Hines and partner Kym Johnson put into the competition.

When asked if he would pull out his new dance moves when he returns to the football field, he replied "no question," adding that every future touchdown he makes will be a "tribute to Kym."

Finalist Kirstie Alley credits dance partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy for getting as far as she did, although she admits she is disappointed they didn't take home the mirror ball trophy. She says she doesn't want to come off as a martyr, and wants people to see her competitive nature- that she simply wants to be seen as someone who just wants to win.

Here's the final "Dancing with the Stars" scoreboard for season 12!

Chelsea Kane & Mark Ballas were neck and neck in the fierce competition with Hines Ward & Kym Johnson. The two couples received identical scores in all three rounds of the finals, but Steeler Nation pulled Hines through to the top spot. Although Kirstie Alley and Maksim Chmerkovskiy lagged a few points behind, the actress' vast fan base helped her finish in second place, leaving Chelsea in a close third.

Watch highlights from the final trio's freestyle routines on Monday night! The rhinestones and sequins return to ABC when season 13 of "Dancing With the Stars" premieres on September 19.

Steeler Nation rejoices! As season 12 champs, Hines Ward and Kym Johnson round out the dancing dozen to raise the mirror ball trophy high above their heads.

After the dramatic announcement, confetti showered the dance floor in celebration of the victory. "Starting this competition, I never thought I'd be in the finals, but I owe it all to Kym," he said with his signature champ. "She's an amazing teacher and I want to thank the judges for giving us the constructive criticism to help me get better each week, but also I want to thank all the fans."

Pro dancer Kym joins the ranks of Mark Ballas, Derek Hough, Julianne Hough, and Cheryl Burke as a multiple "Dancing With the Stars" champ. She previously won the mirror ball with Donny Osmond in season 9.

Kirstie Alley lost many dress sizes since entering the competition, but failed to gain the title with Maksim Chmerkovskiy, coming in second. She was undeniably a favorite among fans and fellow celebrities. Despite receiving high scores and praise from the judges, Disney darling Chelsea Kane and partner Mark Ballas finished in third place.

Host Tom Bergeron announced that "Dancing With the Stars" will return to ABC in the fall on September 19.

The voting is now open! The youngest "American Idol" finalists ever (Scotty McCreery, 17, and Lauren Alaina, 16) lit up the stage at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live on Tuesday in their fight for the season 10 crown.

The two teens entered the stage holding hands, but they set their friendship aside once they touched the microphone.

"I'm here, I'm ready to sing and I'm fine," said Lauren, who had problems with her voice prior to the taping.

Lauren put all doubts aside when she blew away the judges with her rendition of Carrie Underwood's "Flat on the Floor," following Scotty's version of "Gone" by Montgomery Gentry.

In the second round, the contestants sang tunes recommended for them by their own music idols. George Straight chose his own song "Check Yes or No" for Scotty, while Lauren's hero Carrie Underwood picked Pam Tillis' "Maybe It Was Memphis" for the young songstress.

Round three unveiled the singles that would be released by either contestant if they win the "American Idol" title.

Scotty encapsulated his journey through the singing competition, belting out "I Love You This Big," while Lauren almost brought the crowd to tears with a tribute to her mom called "Like My Mother Does."

Season 7 winner David Cook closed the show by singing the '80s hit "Don't Forget About Me."

Tune in to "American Idol" on FOX tomorrow to see who will win this season.

Ashley Hebert, the newly minted "Bachelorette" stopped by The Insider to talk with our Christina McLarty about her experience on the show and whether or not she found love.

Christina was quick to notice a ring absent from Ashley's ring finger. "I'll tell you I am very happy with everything that happened. It was a crazy journey, but in the end I think I made some good decisions for me." With its premiere this past Monday we are just starting to meet the men competing for Ashley's affection, though she certainly had some things to say regarding certain notable standouts.

Having given the first-impression rose to Ryan P., Ashley "had a mindset of what I was looking for in a husband. I wanted somebody that was ambitious and somebody that was successful and had a zest for life and right off the bat Ryan was that guy." Jeff, also known as the man with the mask was also given a rose. "At first I was skeptical...people are going to wonder why I kept him around, but I thought it was different and I was interested."

Setting himself up to be the villain of the season, Bentley was given the benefit of the doubt. Even after being forewarned, "I vowed to myself that I was going to go into our conversation very open-minded and give him a shot." Not allowed to give too much away Ashley tells us that "it's a crazy journey with Bentley," and that "a lot of the things America is seeing, this is the first time I see it or hear of it." We can only assume that means we'll be seeing a lot more of Bentley and this "crazy journey."

Asked on a scale of 1-10 how dramatic we can expect the season to get, Ashley laughs, "I can only go up to 10?" So does she have any regrets with how things went on "The Bachelorette"? "I guess I have no regrets. No major regrets...yet." Take that as you will and be sure to tune in to see who Ashley chooses, and doesn't choose when "The Bachelorette" airs Monday, on ABC.

Academy Award-nominated actor Don Cheadle and supermodel Gisele Bündchen are facing off against each other to see who can rally the most support for the United Nations' World Environment Day Challenge in a new PSA from Tonic.com.

World Environment Day began in 1972 and has strived to be the biggest and most widely celebrated day for positive environmental action. WED selects a different theme each year, with this year's theme being "Forests. Nature at Your Service." The goal of this year's WED is to plant a new forest in India as well as having as many people as possible make eco- friendly lifestyle choices.

Both Bündchen and Cheadle are Goodwill Ambassadors for the United Nations and are trying to garner support from communities for World Environment Day. Bündchen has pledged to plant one tree for every environmental project started in her name, and Cheadle has promised to plant two trees for every project pledged to him.

TheInsider.com has obtained footage of Arnold Schwarzenegger's alleged mistress Mildred "Patty" Baena singing onstage as she impersonates Marilyn Monroe's iconic version of "Happy Birthday, Mr. President." 

The footage -- in which Baena smiles and laughs in between singing to the audience assembled for a party -- was taken the same day as Arnold, Maria Shriver and their children attended a quinceanera celebration for Baena's niece several years ago. Baena's performance onstage occurred at a different location than the church where earlier the Schwarzeneggers greeted the niece.

At the church, the families seemed comfortable as they enjoyed the celebration together, long before Arnold's shocking separation from Shriver and his confession that he'd fathered a child out of wedlock.

On this day in 1995, MTV gave us behind-the-scenes access to the taping of their dating game show, "Singled Out."

The show, which was originally hosted by Jenny McCarthy and Chris Hardwick, featured 50 men and 50 women who competed for a date with the main contestant. That same contestant, otherwise known as the "Picker," wasn't allowed any visible knowledge of their suitors and had to then single out his or her potential dates from the "Dating Pool" using various questions and comments.

The colorful hosts, Jenny and Chris, seemed right for the show that lasted three-years (1995-1998). During the last season, Jenny moved on to her own comedy series, "The Jenny McCarthy Show," and was replaced by Carmen Electra.

Check out the behind-the-scenes footage of the dating show and see what Jenny and Chris thought was the best part of the job as hosts!

With less than 24 hours left until the next Mirror Ball Trophy champion is to be crowned, The Insider's Christina McLarty caught up with the remaining teams as they ache and limp their way to the "Dancing"  finish line.

Kym Johnson is still receiving care for her recent neck injury, but is grateful for partner Hines Ward who is often present to ease her discomfort by holding her hand during the frequent injections from the doctor.

Kirstie Alley tells Christina that partner Maksim has had food poisoning for the past couple of days, with Maks adding that it's been tough to dance at champion level with a diet consisting of crackers and ginger ale.

Mark Ballas is in the last stages of a cold, therefore Chelsea Kane is taking preventative measures which very often leaves the pair in a situation to which they must "watch each other get shots in the butt" to combat the virus. Although the joint syringe sessions aren't exactly ideal, Chelsea jokes that it made the pair "closer than ever."

Arguably the most exciting and controversial season of "The Celebrity Apprentice" came to an end Sunday night, pitting Country Star John Rich against Oscar-winning actress Marlee Matlin in a final challenge of creating the best retro 7UP campaign to ultimately take home $250,000 for their respective charities.

Prior to announcing the winner, Donald Trump admitted this season's ruling of "Apprentice" was his toughest yet, telling the pair he has "never had to go through something like this," calling Matlin and Rich "amazing."

In the end, it was John Rich who wrangled the title of "Celebrity Apprentice" over runner-up Oscar-winning actress Marlee Matlin.

Most of the season's original 16 contestants returned for the finale with the exception of reality-show star Richard Hatch, who is currently in prison for tax evasion.

Rich scores a $250,000 check which puts the grand total of his charity monies raised in at over $1 million for the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis. Matlin had been playing for the Starkey Hearing Foundation.

This season's cast included David Cassidy, Richard Hatch, Lisa Rinna, Star Jones, Gary Busey, NeNe Leakes, LaToya Jackson, Dionne Warwick, Jose Canseco, and Meatloaf.

From 1989 to 2006, The Billboard Awards were one of the music industry's most highly anticipated events, and with this year marking the show's rebirth, the stars came out in full force to perform in and celebrate the event's long-awaited return. 

Hosted by "The Hangover II" star Ken Jeong, the show drew big celebrities from music, film and television, with guests in attendance ranging from music legend U2, to "Glee" star Matthew Morrison, to Oscar-winner Nicole Kidman.

Nominee Taylor Swift shared her excitement in the award show's return, telling us she feels "so honored" to be nominated for an astonishing seven awards on what she calls a "really special night."

Although Fergie was one of the night's performers, she confessed she couldn't wait to see Britney and Nicki Minaj. Black Eyed Peas band mate Taboo added that holding the night's festivities in Vegas added a fun, "party" atmosphere making the night even more "awesome."

With "Dancing with the Stars" Tuesday season finale only days away, team Hines finds itself a fan with Eric Stonestreet and Tim Allen, while Fergie is firmly planted on team Kirstie, explaining that she "loves" her. Allen's wife Jane Hajduk, doesn't share the Steelers love, instead choosing Kirstie as her pick to win the mirror ball trophy.

Prominent public figures, fellow recording artists, and family members recorded heartwarming messages for Beyonce to introduce her at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday night.

First Lady Michelle Obama said Beyonce has a "powerful presence for young girls and women around the world." Solange Knowles singled out her sister's performance at President Barack Obama's inauguration as "a moment where we were all extremely proud to know her and love her."

Father Matthew Knowles, mother Tina Knowles, her nephew, The Dream, Lady Gaga, Kenneth Brian "Babyface" Edmonds, Stevie Wonder, and Barbra Streisand were also featured in the dedication montage.

Beyonce's alter ego Sasha Fierce then took the stage for a digitally infused performance of "Run the World."

Destiny's Child bandmates Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland, along with husband Jay-Z, were on their feet to applaud the routine.

While catching her breath, her mom presented her with the Billboard Millenium Award. Beyonce said, "This is a moment I have to soak in because it's one of the best memories of my life." Watch her show-stopping performance, right here!
