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."

33. What bothers me most about Oprah, is I know she is voting for OBama because he is black. She knows his experience is limited and in another 4 years he could be the person for the job. She is so transparent. Voting for Obama show how racist she is even if it means Obama is not ready to run the country. In a few years she will be running it, as long as there are middle aged woman who stay at home and hang on every word she says instead of experiencing life themselves.

35. Oprah....how long are we supposed to be exposed to this racist, snobbish, holier-than-thou person. In the beginning, she was really nice, but of course she was fat. Lots of folks could relate. Then she became a billionaire and she put herself on the throne and moved God aside. After all, she's OPRAH, and she knows it all. What worries me is how some of these black celebrities have jumped on the bandwagon of Obama, an inexperienced and less than intelligent candidate. Why oh why? It should have been Colin Powell. He was a man of integrity, intelligence, experience, etc. A much better black candidate. But he was too smart to jump on that bandwagon. Oprah, you should just keep your politics to yourself. She doesn't do all that much for people...her sponsors do at their expense because they think it's good advertising. They use her as a means to an end. Get over her!

36. Oprah once said on her show (emphatically), that "Everyone needs to go to Hawaii at least once in their lifetime!" Her statement proves just how out of touch she has become. I'd really like her to drive over to the South Side of Chicago and tell all the po' folk that they need to put Hawaii on their to-do lists.

38. O and O deserve each other. They are both a couple of phonies who have forgotten where they came from and and who made them a suck-sess!
I hope that bride stands her ground!

39. My all time favorite "fan's of Oprah bash" was on 30 Rock. When asked what her religion was, Tina Fey's character replied, "Oh, I don't have a religion. I just do what Oprah tells me to do."

Fricken hysterical!! And so damn true of her brain-dead fans!

40. I used to really like Oprah, but she has really changed over the years. I can't think of one better example of a person that needs to get over themself. She is so self involved. Somebody mistakingly let her think she is God#2. GET OVER YOURSELF OPRAH!!!!!!!!!!!

41. WHAT???? SHARPTON AND JACKSON WEREN'T INVITED TO MOTHER FEELGOOD'S HOEDOWN? I'M SHOCKED! (I'M ALSO NAUSEATED BY THIS OPRAH WOMAN. BUT THAT'S BESIDE THE POINT.) AS FOR CAMILLA NOT GOING TO PRINCESS DI'S WHATEVER-IT'S-SUPPOSED-TO-BE, IF SHES NOT ATTENDING, THEN NEITHER AM I! SO THERE!!! AS FOR SPENCER AND HEIDI,MONTAG, I HAVEN'T A CLUE WHO THEY ARE OR WHAT THEY DO (NOR DO I GIVE A RAT'S ASS0, SO I CAN'T COMMENT ON THEM.OR THEIR PROBLEMS. A TERRIBLE WAY TO START THE WEEK.

42. First,I'm not a fan but Camilla staying away during Diana's memorial is a classy move.
Now Oprah,God needs to come down and put her in her place,God to Oprah-Your Not Me!

43. Have to agree with Camilla's decision...stay at home. Considering the history and the heartache..a memorial to Di is definitely a no go for Camil..

44. Camilla is finally doing the right thing and staying away...Kudos to her...What a slap in the face to have the mistress show up for a memorial service. Diana would turn over in her grave. I do give the boys credit for being upstanding young gentleman and at least inviting the old lady...

45. Late breaking news...

Oprah is going to ordain HERSELF as a minister and lead us all down the path of Oprahood...telling us what to read, what to believe, who to vote for, etc.

Camilla is going to "graciously" stay home from the memorial service of our beloved Princess Di and use that time wisely by teaching a class on "Fidelity in Marraige."

Fractured fairy tales for Monday.
