And as Oprah Winfrey attended the Robin Hood Foundation's benefit in New York on Monday she was justly rewarded - with a kiss from Usher.

The 62-year-old was seen enjoying a playful chat with the Good Kisser crooner as they posed for snaps at the event.

The wealthy television personality wore a tight black top and pretty skirt as she sported dark framed glasses.

Usher, 37, meanwhile, sported a dark suede letterman jacket and gold chain as he posed with Zac Brown at the party.

Meanwhile, Oprah is expanding her participation in HBO's The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks to an on-screen role.

 The cable channel said Monday that Winfrey will star in the TV movie that she's been shepherding as an executive producer.

The film is based on Rebecca Skloot's nonfiction book of the same name. It details the story of Henrietta Lacks, an African-American woman whose cancerous cells became the source of medical breakthroughs.

The story will be told from the perspective of Lacks' daughter, Deborah, to be played by Winfrey.

Veteran Broadway director-producer George C. Wolfe will direct the HBO project from his screenplay.

Filming is scheduled to begin this summer, with an air date yet to be announced.
