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."

346. Once again, Miss Oprah thinks everyone should bow to her needs! Her money and fame have gone straight to her head!

Why should a bride who has had HER PLANS for a long time - disrupt them because Oprah wants something for herself?

What a self-centered bitch she has turned into!

348. Who gives a crap about the royal family? HRH Diana was NOT the sainted person you made her out to be.

I don't know why TMZ linked this story with Oprah and Obama.

349. Well if EVERYONE SEEMs to love her,she must be doing more good FOR PEOPLE than the usual blow joe. I wonder if the people who are
so quick to call her hateful names are love by ANYONE! hmmm.

IT is sooo sad how many witch hunters are out
there riding their brooms of negativity
and hatefulness towards ANYONE
TRYING TO DO SOMETHING GOOD for others.
SOME OF THE THINGS OPRAH DOES, DO NOT TAKE MONEY;
IT TAKES LOVE FOR FELLOW HUMANS. OPRAH HAVE
LOVE FOR PEOPLE...BLACK WHITE AND OTHER. Some BLACKS say she love WHITES better than BLACKS...NOW WHITES ARE CALLING HER RACIST.

AS MUCH AS OPRAH DOES FOR OTHER PEOPLE, I WOULD LOVE TO DO SOMETHING GOOD FOR HER. IF THIS BRIDE
WASN'T SO SELFISH, AND UNSELFISHLY OFFERED TO HELP OPRAH, SHE AND ALL OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY MAY HAVE HAD THE BEST WEDDING IN HISTORY, maybe even flown to another country to have it. WHO KNOWS, OPRAH MIGHT HAVE EVEN BOUGHT THE HOTEL AND GIVEN IT TO THEM AS A THANK YOU FOR BEING SO KIND GIFT. OPRAH IS GOOD AT DOING THINGS LIKE THAT.

Not only have this selfish COUPLE MISSED OUT ON A CHANCE OF A LIFE TIME to do something ONLY THEY COULD DO for a person who seems to have everything and don't mind sharing, but I DOUBT SERIOUSLY THAT THEY WILL HAVE A HAPPY MARRIAGE. They will think about what they did AND ARGUE OVER WHOSE FAULT IT IS THEY MISSED OUT ON BECOMING RICH AND FAMOUS this arguement will bring on a irreconsible difference divorce, so they better keep their lawyer available.

IT seems to me ALMOST EVERYONE WHO COME IN CONTACT WITH OPRAH, END UP RICH AND FAMOUS....MOST OF THEM WHITE....like DR. PHIL, DR OZ, THE HOME DECORATOR THAT COMES ON HER SHOW, the COOKS that show up on her show, you say she is a racist??
FAR MORE WHITES HAVE BECOME RICH WITH OPRAH'S HELP THAN BLACKS, BUT MANY, MANY BLACKS HAVE BEEN HELPED IN OTHER WAYS IE WITH SCHOLARSHIPS AND HOUSING... AFTER KATRINA AND BEING HOMELESS FOR OTHER REASONS.

THE ONLY REASON OPRAH CAN KEEP DOING ALL THE MARVELOUS THINGS SHE IS DOING IS BECAUSE GOD IS CARRYING HER THROUGH. I believe I, AND MANY OTHERS, would have nightmares about people all over the world WHO poor, always needing and begging. BUT OPRAH MAKE helping people SEEM SO rewarding, so much fun and so EFFORTLESS.BUT I DOUBT THAT IT IS THAT MUCH FUN ALL THE TIME BECAUSE ANYTIME YOU DEAL WITH THE PUBLIC there are people, like the ones here, criticizing her.

HOW MANY OTHER BILLIONAIRES DO YOU SEE OR HEAR OF DOING SO MUCH FOR SO MANY? HELMSLEY (SP) JUST DIED BUT NOT BEFORE LEAVING HER DOG...that's one dog, 12 million dollars.THERE ARE MILLIONS WHO WISH THEY WERE HER DOG. BUT OPRAH, TAKES CARE OF HER DOGSsssssss, plural, AND she does more FOR humans then ANYONE I have ever heard of. NO, she doesn't do all these things completely by herself...OTHERS HELP HER AND SHE NEVER TAKES CREDIT FOR THINGS SHE DO!!! SHE ALWAYS GIVE OTHERS THE CREDIT SAYING THIS PERSON, OR COMPANY DID THIS OR THAT. OPRAH MAKES OTHERS WANNA DO GOOD things FOR OTHERS; THAT INCLUDES THE COMMON FOLKS AS WELL AS THE BUSINESS FOLKS.

What a wonderful world this would be if more people could be like her.

....and ANYONE CALLING OPRAH A RACIST
IS either SENILE or INFANTILE!

350. 348, DIANA wasn't a saint, no one is...not even St. Theresa WAS as good as people made her out to be. Actually, there is none GOOD BUT GOD.

SO, I AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT, but she was a kind people person and that is what makes her stand out even in death.

LIKE YOU, I WONDER why did TMZ Share the same page with the DIANA AND OPRAH SAGA.
Maybe they ran out of space..........LOL.

351. BABS you are really funny.....hehehe either you are a comedian or you are just jesting. NO ONE WITH A HEART COULD WANT COWELIA ANYWHERE NEAR THOSE YOUNG MEN REMINDING THEM EVERY SECOND THAT SHE, IN A ROUND ABOUT WAY, KILLED THEIR MOTHER.

I can not IMAGINE how CHARLES could be sooooooooooo heartless AS TO MARRY HER AFTER THE WAY DIANA DIED. THAT MAKES THEM LOOK EVEN MORE SUSPICIOUS.

WELL IT BACK FIRED ON HIM, HER AND BUCKINGHAM PALACE cos they made DIANA immortal.

IF the good and bad things PEOPLE THINK ABOUT THE DECEASE WILL GET THEM (the decease) INTO HEAVEN OR HELL, IMAGINE WHERE Cowmilla, the HOME WRECKER, WILL GO and IMAGINE where DIANA, the people's Princess, will go.

See how many flowers the Camilla COW will get...

RESPONDING TO #5's comments in which she said, 5. This woman is in a very difficult situation. She has to not attend a memorial in which she could be supporting William and Harry and Charles for whom this will all be difficult. I am just amazed that after 10 years "The People's Princess" can still cause unhappiness and disruption in typical Borderline Personality Disorder fashion. She had serious mental health issues and it all lives on after her. Shy Di was never shy - just very wily. She got what she wanted - to marry the Prince, then continued to act like a little child. This woman was a bore and continues to be a bore. How sad for her children and for Camilla."

354. IMO, CAMILLA AND CHARLES HAD NO BUSINESS BEING THERE, JUST WILLIAM AND HARRY. CHARLES DID HER TERRIBLY WRONG AND CAMILLA, WELL, SHE DESERVED TO BE LEFT AT HOME.

355. I could care less whom Oprah votes for. It is not as if her choice would affect whom I choose to vote for, she has not a wit of influence on my life. I cannot comprehend why she thinks she has the right to interfere on a bride's wedding day. It is unconscionable to screw with someones wedding day. New Queen of Mean!
Someone earlier said she was a commoner. Wrong, her father was a Viscount, then Lord Althorp and then 8th Earl Spencer, Diana was Lady Diana Spencer.
charles was only allowed to marry a virgin or could not ascend to the throne and eventually become King. He picked a 20 yr old, timid, sheltered girl. Yes, she had an affair, but Charles was doing horse-face Camilla forever. The Princes William and Harry requested that Camilla not go to the memorial along with the bequest of the Queen.
No matter your feelings regarding Diana, she most certainly did not deserve to die that way.

356. OOPS OPRAH! Thought you understand you don't discuss politics and religion at work! We like your freebee's; we love your look(s); your show is just great BUT, don't think your powerful enough to get Obama elected.

TALK ABOUT THE HEIGHT OF ARROGANCE!

We understand one of the Rev's must have gotten to ya and YOU OPRAH, Have to protect your base BUT, a lot of that base won't be there for ya this time.

I THINK OPRAH PLAYED THE RACE CARD THIS TIME...It's not about experience nor about what is good for the country. It's about a black guy who doesn't look or sound like Jackson or Sharpton.

Too Bad

357. ONLY THING I SEE WRONG WITH OPRAH IS
THERE AREN'T MORE PEOPLE EXACTLY LIKE HER!

ONLY THING I SEE WRONG WITH "THE PEOPLE'S PRINCESS" is one (1) she was in the wrong place at the wrong time and loss her life AND two (2) is THERE AREN'T MORE PEOPLE EXACTLY LIKE HER TO REPLACE HER.

The only thing I SEE GOOD about the naysayers, the sons and daughters of satan, who are regurgitating here on TMZ, their pitiful, pathetic, sick,epressions of satanic hatred for anything good is, hopefully, they will become fewer and fewer in existence and there will BE more and more and more OPRAHS AND PRINCESS DIANAS TO REPLACE THEM!

Those who condone what CHARLES AND HIS BACK STREET WOMAN CAMILLE DID, you should hope the same thing doesn't happen to you BECAUSE THEY WILL NEVER BE TRULY HAPPY. No one can be happy on the misery of others. IT IS THEIR FAULT DIANA IS DEAD and I believe EVIL begets EVIL. Watch and see the miseries they will suffer...that is if they publicize it. THE BIBLE says you reap what you sow so CAMILLE AND ESPECIALLY CHARLES have much MISERY to reap.

358. I believe anyone voting for a Presidential Candidate based upon a self serving celebrities opinion is doing a great harm to themselves and society. Do your homework, Study up on the candidates and there positions. Vote according to your conscience and your findings. Do not let anyone take your freedom of choice away. And please don't follow a pied piper simply because they are famous.

The Bride was very courageous to Stand up to Oprah. Good for her! Planning a wedding of that magnitude can take years, and just because she is Rich Oprah can buy her out? I think not. Go Bride Go!!!
