PASADENA, Calif. - Do you get excited about commercials on TV? Oprah Winfrey and her pal, Gayle King, do.

Well, they get excited about commercials on the Oprah Winfrey Network. Which, apparently, King wasn't altogether expecting to see.

"She called after we were on the air, and she said, 'Oh my God. OWN has commercials!'" Winfrey said. "She goes, 'It's not like I didn't think you were going to have commercials, but you have commercials just like a real network.'

"And I said, 'I'm thinking the same thing. I didn't know I loved Febreze so much.'

"I've never loved commercials more in my life than now. I look at every commercial and go, 'Thank you, Chevrolet.' 'Thanks, Nissan.'"

ROYALTY? When a critic addressed Gayle King as "Ms. King," she immediately called a halt to that.

"Please," she said. "You can call my 'your highness' or 'Gayle.'"

How about, "your grace" or "your excellency"?

Or maybe, "Hey, you."
