Two of Chicago’s favorite stars will be sticking around for a few more years. “Saturday Night Live” Weekend Update anchor Tina Fey, a “Second City” alum, re-upped for $4 million to write and star on the show through the 2004-05 season. Talk show host Oprah Winfrey reportedly is close to a deal that would keep her in daytime through 2007-08. But who wears the screen queen crown?
