Jay-Z Catches Up With Oprah in Australia

AP

Oprah Winfrey and Jay-Z have taken their budding friendship Down Under. The talk show queen invited Jay, who is on tour in Australia with U2, to appear on her show, which is currently on location for the week. Jay stopped by the show, which is taping at the famed Sydney Opera House, to talk about his best-selling book 'Decoded,' which was featured on Winfrey's Favorite Things episode.

During his segment, Jay showed footage of him making a surprise visit to the students of Canterbury Boys' High School just outside Sydney, where he encouraged the boys to follow their dreams. "It was great," he told Oprah. "I see myself in their eyes, I believe in opportunities." 400 of the school's students were on hand at the show taping and -- in true Oprah style -- received a gift of new laptop computers for every student and teacher at the school.

The school's teacher Polly Dunam wrote a letter asking that the queen of talk and Jay, visit the school. "I said it would be great for Jay-Z to see a multicultural school. I wanted to show him Canterbury Boys' High School," she said. "I didn't think anything would happen and then I received a voicemail message from the [Oprah] show producers."

To kick-off her 25th and final season, Winfrey surprised her entire Chicago audience with the trip to Australia. Australian actors Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Nicole Kidman and her husband, country singer Keith Urban also made appearances at a separate show taping. Jay-Z's last appearance on 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' was in 2009.

If Jay Z sees himself in the eyes of the Canterbury Boys' High School America better sound the terrorist alarm because it is bad enough to have his kind spreading their deadly desease of sexual immorality, drug and alcohol abuse and murder at alarming rates in America, but now it has been made known that they to are in Australia and they probably wish to visit America let their little dark shine. Contrast..... we ought to pray. They need help. Jay Z sure the heck doesn't care nor does Oprah's inteligent wealthy self. Question why is she always giving away thousands to millions of dollars of merchandise and cash to so many non blacks all around but never to the black aka Africans in Los Angeles, California aka her kind???
PS My 1973 Van was vandalized recently. Someone decided to throw a fire extinquisher at my windowshield and now it will cost me $200+ to fix it. I am a college student and my Van is my transportation. I would love to commute by bicylce or bus but this was a hate crime either for 1977 born men or 1973 born Vans and so it would not be college wise to leave her for the next hate crime to happen. Can I get a helping hand from you Oprah? Never mind my attitude, we all have our own way to catch wreck and fame and a helping hand. 323 423 9159
