Leave it to Oprah Winfrey to find a way to be at two places at once.

As many of you know, the talk show maven's new cable network, the aptly-named Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN), will launch next January.

Only, a contract agreement with her present, syndicated talk show prevents America's Favorite TV Personality from appearing on another talk show until 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' ends its epic run in September 2011, says the New York Times.Leave it to Oprah Winfrey to find a way to be at two places at once.

So what's a woman to do? Well, if you're Oprah, make a reality show about the 'Oprah Winfrey Show,' of course! OWN has just announced that 'Behind the Scenes: Oprah's 25th Season' -- a weekly, "unprecedented" inside look at the production of the Emmy-winning daytime series as it films its final season -- will debut along with the premiere of the OWN network in January.

In addition to 'Behind the Scenes,' the network also announced four additional hourlong programs: 'Kid-napped,' in which workaholic parents are given interventions by their children; 'Miracle Detectives,' about a believer and a skeptic who go out to investigate the truth behind modern-day miracles; 'Search,' featuring expert tracker Pam Slaton as she tries to unite people with their long-lost loved ones; and 'Sentenced,' which sheds light on the women behind bars in an Indiana correctional facility.
