Media mogul Oprah Winfrey's  first segment as a "60 Minutes" correspondent saw a heated  debate on US President Donald Trump.
The 63-year-old host, along with CBS News' Frank  Luntz, talked to 14 Americans in Michigan about what they feel  about the POTUS and the results turned out to be mixed,  reported Variety.
One of the panelists named Tom said that Trump is a  good leader, although he does not "like his Twitter attacks",  calling them "inappropriate".
"But, at the same time, his actions speak louder than  words. And I love what he's doing to this country," he added.
On the other hand, a woman named Jennifer called him  a  "horrible president" and argued that he has divided America  even more today.
Winfrey also raised the investigation into Russian  collusion in the election. Another member, Paul, said he is  tired of hearing about the issue, while another named Tim  argued that it was a "foreign attack on our country."

Jason Derulo was robbed off of  USD 300,000 in cash and jewellery, when thieves struck the  singer's mansion here.
Law enforcement sources told TMZ.com that when a member  of the 28-year-old musician's team went to his home on the  afternoon of September 23, he noticed something was amiss.
Thereafter, cops were called for the investigation.
The police are tight-lipped on how the burglars got into  the house and what specifically was stolen. They had also  broken a door and a window.

The 73-year-old actor is known for playing the villainous  role in "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi", as  well as an earlier version of the character in the three  prequel movies, reported BBC.

"I suppose there must be a chance but I think you'd find  out about it more quickly than I would. As far as the new  films are concerned, I'm dead. There is no question about  that.
