(Jan. 29) - Singer-actress Marie Osmond announced at a surprise press conference in Las Vegas Tuesday that she will host "Marie," a lifestyle/talk show, to be offered for syndication in the fall of 2009.

"I've always wanted to do a show for women," said Osmond, "that would offer them a safe place to have some fun and get vital information. 'Marie' will truly reflect my personality - funny, and sometimes serious and never predictable."

Osmond is no stranger to television, having starred with her brother Donny on the "Donny & Marie Show" during the 1970s. She also has appeared in made-for-TV movies and hosted a talk show with Donny Osmond in the late 1990s. More recently, she was a judge on "Celebrity Duets" and a contestant on "Dancing With The Stars" on ABC.

In addition to her on-camera ventures, Osmond has a popular line of collectible dolls and craft kits sold on QVC.

Despite her successful run on "Dancing With The Stars," 2007 was a difficult one for Osmond. In March, she announced that she and her second husband, Brian Blosil, were divorcing. Then in November her father George passed away and a week later she confirmed that her 16-year-old son had entered rehab. She has eight children.

Every person on the View is an ass. They talk over each other constantly, who needs a headache?

I am so glad to hear Marie is going to have her own talk show. It will be great to have her on TV again. I enjoyed the shows that she had with Donny.

GOOD LUCK, MARIE.. I HOPE DONNY WILL BE ON WITH U FROM TIME TO TIME.. U ARE GREAT TOGETHER..

I wish Marie well in her newest endeavor...but it's a very difficult and pretty full genre right now. I hope she does great though. She is a very courageous, classy lady in my opinion...and I think she has a beautiful voice and I think she did pretty darn good on DWTS too. Go Marie

Not an Osman fan-I just thought she was a showoff-a me-me-person. I cannot see her on a talkshow as she will never keep here mouth shut long enough to have anyone say 2 words. 8 kids-2 divorces-and a big mouth with her kid gone bad-not a role model.

I have never watched the disgusting "View" and Oprah is nothing but a know it all now. Haven't watched her in 14 years. Marie will be a refreshing, humorous, CLASSY change from all the Hollywood garbage and filth the other "things" spew! They have no class and when they brought that horrible Rosie on, I was hoping against hope that people in this country would stop watching and the show would be cancelled. No, people in this country enjoy watching bloody accidents apparently and want more of this crap. Also, I hope she has Donny on often too. He's still a cutie too! I will definitely watch HER!

mary Good for Marie. I watched her and her brother Donny grow up. They sure beat alot of people that are on tv. Their family is a good example of a wholesome bunch. We need more shows with them on. For those who are not in love with them listen you might learn something.
