Maria Shriver at Oprah Tribute
COSTELLO: We just got new pictures to show you, and here they are. There is Maria Shriver with Oprah Winfrey. Yes, they were in Chicago for the taping of Oprah's last week of shows, and there's a shot of Maria walking out on to stage. And you see this one here. She's hugging Oprah. If you're wondering what Maria said -- well, our entertainment correspondent Kareen Wynter was there, too. Kareen, when Maria Shiver walked on stage, what was the reaction of the crowd?</s>KAREEN WYNTER, CNN ENTERTAINMENT CORRESPONDENT: You can just imagine. They completely embraced her. You could see Oprah's expression. You know, when you think of it, too, Carol, this took a lot of guts, a lot of courage. This is a woman who came out on this national stage. She's in the midst of this scandalous split with Arnold Schwarzenegger. But you know why she did it? She and Oprah go way back. In fact, when she walked out on stage, Carol, she came out with Oprah's best friend, Gayle King, and she didn't say much. But, boy, did she dazzle the crowd? By the way, was dressed to kill in that gorgeous blue sequin dress. You know, her hair was done, her makeup. She was smiling ear to ear. And she said a few words. She thanked Oprah for her friendship over the years. She's known Oprah for about three decades and she also thanked Oprah for teaching her the truth. And this is one -- again, one of the highlight of the night. Oprah chimed in and said, "Here's to the truth," and then, guess what, Carol? The audience just rose to its feet, applauded, embraced Maria. You're really, really felt for her. There was no specific reference to the scandal, of course, but you could tell they really appreciated her coming out on this huge night.</s>COSTELLO: Oh, yes, there was no need at all. There are a lot of rumors flying around out there like I've heard that when Maria Shriver got the news that the scandal would break and become public, she was actually eating with Oprah Winfrey.</s>WYNTER: Well, we know that she did dine with Oprah on Monday at a Chicago restaurant. Maria's children were there. And it's not surprising. Again, they have a long friendship. They go way back and it really, really is pointed in the fact that, you know, despite all that she's going through, that's why she came out last night. And there was so much speculation leading up to it. Of course, Oprah's camp wasn't saying much. Would Maria be there? What kind of role would she take on? But at the end of the night, she came out. She said a few words, and it really meant a lot to Oprah.</s>COSTELLO: Oh, yes. I like it. I like stories about girl power. Kareen Wynter, many thanks. We appreciate it.</s>WYNTER: Yes, absolutely.</s>COSTELLO: The CIA flying radar-evading drones deep into Pakistani airspace. A new report on another covert operation emerges. Details after a break.
