Magician David Blaine plans to beat the current world record by holding his breath for 16 minutes – and he’s going to do it live on “Oprah.” Sources close to Blaine said he originally had wanted to do it on Ellen DeGeneres’s show, but according to sources close to the comedienne, “Ellen wasn’t impressed by someone holding their breath for 16 minutes, since she once held hers for 20 minutes while servicing Anne Heche.”
