27th May 2011

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Mary J. Blige says Oprah Winfrey ended her show with "so many jewels".

The 40-year-old songstress is a big fan of the talk show queen who broadcast the last episode of her television series The Oprah Winfrey Show this week after 25 years on air.

Mary says the last in the series was testament to the TV giant's global success.

"Oh my God, I love her," she gushed to the American edition of OK! magazine. "She left us with so many jewels on this last show today."

Meanwhile, Oprah has been enjoying spending time in her pyjamas since the show ended on May 25. The 57-year-old star has been indulging in some down-time since ending her television reign on Wednesday.

"Staying in pj's all day (sic)," she tweeted on her personal Twitter page.

Oprah also used the social networking site to tell fans she was "getting hair braided for summer vaca" and "reading all ur emails (sic)".

She added she had already watched fellow host and best friend Gayle King's show with her long-term partner Stedman Graham.

Winfrey also gave a message to all of her fans on Twitter, thanking them for all of their support in the run up to the end of her programme.

"Thanks tweeps," she said. "WE DID IT (sic)!" (C) Cover Media
