What’s up with the universe?  First Ellen Degeneres breaks down over an adopted pet that was seized from her possession because she gave it away to her friend. Now Oprah’s distraught, apologizing to the students of her school, who have filed complaints of sexual harassment and other abuse against administrators.

Good intentions, bad results, and a lot of public self-flagellation. We feel for you ladies, but as Dr. Phil would say, get a grip on that Messiah complex, give yourself a break, and leave the dramatics to Britney Spears.
