The queen of daytime talk is primed to conquer the night.

Oprah Winfrey’s new network, OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network, unveiled on Thursday programming for its Jan. 1 launch. The lineup includes Oprah’s Next Chapter, featuring Winfrey “getting untethered from the chairs, opening up her world and taking you with her,” the network said in a statement.

Winfrey fans can expect “a whole new kind of Oprah show” that will feature “riveting conversations with the people we all want to hear from, in some very unexpected places,” from the “Taj Mahal to [Winfrey's] beloved oak tree, the Great Wall to her own teahouse,” the statement continues.

Other shows in the OWN lineup include Visionaries: Inside the Creative Mind, which already has Lady Gaga, Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am and Oscar-winning director James Cameron on deck, Gayle King Live! and Why Not? With Shania Twain.

In addition, OWN also announced the launch of Your Own Show: Oprah’s Search for the Next TV Star. Winfrey will partner with reality producer Mark Burnett on a nationwide search to discover the big TV host. Details will be announced on The Oprah Winfrey Show in May.

“My vision for OWN is to create a network that inspires our viewers and makes them want to be who they are on their best day,” Winfrey said in a statement.

ESPN reporter Erin Andrews and professional dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy are not only paired up on Dancing With the Stars, but according to an insider, they’re secretly developing a romantic partnership as well.

“They have amazing sexual chemistry,” a show insider explains. “She is totally his type, and he is totally the type of guy that she falls for.” While Erin, 31, and Maks, 30, have only hinted about their love connection, the insider reveals that they started seeing each other from almost the first week of rehearsals — and they were always the first to arrive and the last to leave.

“Maks really likes to cook Russian food, and he’s been cooking for Erin,” the insider continues. “They’re both relationship-driven, so this is likely to be much more than just a fling.” Maks has been helping with Erin’s footwork — and an insider says she has also been leaning on him to cope with reported death threats.

Get ready for even more Kate Gosselin.

The reality mom of eight, 35, is headlining her own TLC series, Twist of Kate, the network announced Thursday.

The 12 episodes, which begin airing this summer, won’t feature her ex- husband Jon, who is currently suing her for sole custody of their kids. Instead, they’ll center on Kate using “fan letters from women inspired by her story as the basis for profiles of women facing their own challenges,” reports USA Today.

“I look at it as a loose concept,” she tells the paper. “I want to be out there learning from others, helping to provide insight whenever I can, though I don’t consider myself an expert on anything.”

According to USA Today, Kate will even visit the homes and workplaces of everyday people. (Late last year, a camera crew was spotted filming Kate as she worked at a local restaurant in Raleigh, NC.)

Says TLC chief Eileen O’Neill: “She will be in that person’s shoes. And more often than not, it’s not going to be terribly comfortable for her. She’s game for things, but she also has limits and boundaries.”

Kate currently competes on ABC’s Dancing With the Stars. Though she has been getting negative reviews from judges, she is attracting viewers (the show recently beat American Idol two weeks in a row).

“The fact that people really support me and want the kids and I to do well … is flattering,” she tells USA Today. “I never understood the importance of fans until we struggled and went through tough times.”
