LET'S HEAR IT FOR THE BIG DOG

He wants to be the next Oprah -- there are no jokes to be made.


Former President Bill Clinton has met with NBC executives in Los Angeles to discuss hosting his own talk show, according to several television sources, The Los Angeles Times reported on Thursday.

Although the talks are only preliminary, one source said Clinton's interest was serious and said he was demanding a fee of $50 million a year and had aspirations ``of becoming the next Oprah Winfrey,'' the paper said.
