Lets Get This Party Started
Oprah Bumps Bride for Barack

All-powerful Oprah Winfrey wants guests for her big Barack Obama fundraiser to stay at a tony resort -- and she may have leaned on a wedding party there to give up rooms for her.

Page Six reports that O wanted out-of-towners for the big Sept. 8 benefit to stay at the San Ysidro Ranch, but it was booked for a wedding. "Oprah's people have been calling the bride to either move or vacate some of the rooms to accommodate her guest list," says a Post source. Frumpy Oprah -- click to launch"The bride, an attorney, is not budging."

Winfrey's reps and the manager of the ranch, Marco Perry, deny that there were any strong-arm tactics used, but says, "The wedding party did cancel a few rooms -- but we didn't charge a cancellation fee because there was such a demand for the rooms that weekend." George Clooney, Beyonce, and Jamie Foxx will be showing up.

Spencer – Duping Heidi?


Spencer Pratt has pretty much cemented himself as the "Hills" resident a-hole, so it's little surprise that his feelings for Heidi Montag are coming into question.

Us says that despite what his friends say about the couple being "very much in love," could it be that Spence is -- shockingly enough -- using Heidi to get famous. "Spencer used to brag about how he wanted to be famous and he'd do it by becoming an 'It' couple with Heidi," says an insider to Us.

Camilla Ditches Diana Service


Camilla Parker Bowles -- Duchess of Cornwall, the "third person" in the Charles-Diana marriage -- will not be attending the planned memorial observing the 10th anniversary of Diana's death, after a minor uproar erupted in the UK when it was announced that she might be sitting next to Charles in the front row at the service. "I accepted and wanted to support [Charles, William and Harry], however, on reflection I believe my attendance could divert attention from the purpose of the occasion, which is to focus on the life and service of Diana," said the Duchess in a statement. "I'm grateful to my husband, William and Harry for supporting my decision."

332. Opera. . . what about all those poor starving people out there in the world. . . people who do not have fancy clothes to wear or money to eat at nice or even decent restaurants, let alone, money to put their kids thru school, pay utility bills, get much needed medical treatment or buy prescriptions and pay for a roof over their families heads. . . Really. . . are a few rooms really that important for more of your "star" friends. Take from the poor and give to the rich. . . shame, shame, shame!!!!!!

333. barbara is right in the fact that diana had borderline personality disorder , and unless you have witnessed this mental disorder first hand, it is impossible to know the havoc it causes everyone around them...as far as camilla goes, if the royal family had let charles marry her like he wanted to many years ago,none of this would have taken place. he always loved this woman and was denied marrying her!

336. What the hell is wrong with people?? This so called "peoples princess" is such a joke. she was a gold digger, and if she was so damned perfect, why the hell wasnt she home with her kids instead of running around in limos with rich arabs all over the world? The woman was a cheap tramp, who had no feelings for her family, live with it England!

337. Maybe it wasnt Oprah that asked for guests to change or cancel. Maybe it was someone that worked for her that "assumed" that Oprah would want this done. Then again, Maybe Oprah did ask guests to change their plans. No matter who did it... it was sooo very tacky.
I like Oprah but there are times when she just gets on my last nerve. Granted she has come a long way and has done a lot of good things for so many people... however, there are times when she just so damned nerve wracking.

340. Oprah is just jealous cause she can't have a wedding!!! She makes my skin crawl in a bad way!! I already didn't like her pre-Katrina,and now post- Katrina I really don't especially the way she did with her "supposedly "contribution here in New Orleans. If things don't go her way she throws a temper tantrum. Oprah your ugly and no matter how much money you have you will always be ugly and at times even uglier!!!!!!!!!

341. Lovely Diana gave Charles what he wanted and needed, 2 fine boys, then he was through with her and went back to who he truly wanted. There will never be enough Charles' or Camilla's to make up one Princess Diana.

342. At the end of the day, the blame for the whole Charles/Diana thing lays with the royal family. If they had not insisted that Charles could not marry the BullDog in the beginning, then he would not have married Diana and made her into a brood mare for the royality. The entire thing was orcharastrated by the Queen and her cronies. It is a shame that such a beautiful soul was destroyed by selfish, controling demands of the royal family. I will always admire the way Diana handled all the mess around her. She was ten times the lady the Queen is and twenty times Camilla is. In the end, Charles got what he wanted, married to Camilla, two heirs to the throne and Diana out of the picture. It irks me every timeI see a photo of the two of them together, her memorial is absoultly no place for Camilla and for that matter for Charles. He was her EX husband, I would not expect my ex to come to my memorial. It is as if everyone thinks that if enough time passes we will forget that he divorced her and that instead she was killed and left him a grieving widow. I am sure that Charles would rather that the history books tell of him as a devoted husband that lost his beautiful wife at a young age and was able to find love again with Camilla. Maybe if we all pretend that is what happened we will convince ourselves, and in years to come actuallly believe it and forget the true story. I send my thoughts and prayers at this time to William and Harry and the Paul Burrill family.

343. Charles and Camilla will suffer from their own karma. William and Harry, unfortunately, must be reminded constantly by Camilla's presence that they were deprived of their mother because of THEM. It's sad that Charles' exaggerated sense of entitlement has caused so much suffering to Diana's sons and the public that respected her.

344. Cowmilla should have just quietly declined or not shown up for the memorial. It is sad that Wills and Harry have to put up with this lady (?). Diana did some good works, but if she hadn't been dating an Arab or mixed into politics (her anti-mine campaign), she probably would be alive today. How would it look for the king of England to have a half brother or sister who was an arab?

345. Oprah you have got to be a self centered b^$&h to do such a horrible thing to a person's wedding plans. What gives you the right to demand anyone change his or her plans? What did your staff not know to make reservations in a timely manner that now that they screwed up, that you want an innocent party to fix it for you???? The wedding party even cancelled a few rooms to accommodate your spoiled rich a*& and just like a spoiled person you want more and more no matter who it hurts. It is all about you and what you want...
