Oprah Cruisin' for a Jump...in Ratings

Tom Cruise, Oprah Winfrey Harpo
Well, this should put some spring in Oprah's step. Or in her couch, at least.

Just in time for May sweeps, Tom Cruise will be returning as a guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show next month to mark the 25th anniversary of his breakthrough turn in Risky Business—his first sit-down with the queen of daytime since his declaration of love heard round the world.

And this time, it won't only be Winfrey's cushions being offered up as a sacrifice to the talk-show gods for this special two-day Oprah event.

Winfrey will first interview Cruise from the comfort of his Telluride, Colo., home on Friday, May 2. Cruise will then appear at her Chicago studio the following Monday to further celebrate his 25 years as a big name in the Biz. The episode will also feature taped messages of congrats from some of the actor's superstar friends, as well.

Cruise and Winfrey memorably last sat down together on June 23, 2005, when the War of the Worlds star confirmed he was cuckoo for Katie Holmes, thereby tempering his screen-idol status with rumors of...well, some downright freaky behavior.

He even went so far as to marry and mate with the former Dawson's Creek ingenue a year later!
