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."

63. Barbara - You disgusting, disrespectful sorry excuse for a human being. By making comments like that, you're making it obvious to everyone that you have no idea what you're talking about. Who are you to criticize one of the most influential, genuine and warm-hearted people in history? Do you even know what she went through outside of the public eye? You have no idea how much trouble (mentally, yes) this horrid woman caused her and her wonderful sons. I do believe she had pre-existing problems, but in some way or other, who doesn't? You're maliciously tearing down a woman who had a bigger heart than anybody you'll ever hope to know, and the world is a much darker place without her.

I know we all have our own opinions, but please remember to be respectful. Especially to the deceased.

64. Charles slept around, "the blessed" Diana slept around, Camilla slept around....................who cares what these sleazes do or don`t do? Philip slept around, Andrew & Fergie slept around, Anne and her hubbies slept around, it`s even been reported the Queen herself has had a few "discreet" romps in her time...............seems to be a family problem.

Jesus Teaches On The Mountain About Helping Others
1 "Be sure you do not do good things in front of others just to be seen by them. If you do, you have no reward from your Father in heaven. 2 When you give to the poor, do not be as those who pretend to be someone they are not. They blow a horn in the places of worship and in the streets so people may respect them. For sure, I tell you, they have all the reward they are going to get. 3 When you give, do not let your left hand know what your right hand gives. 4 Your giving should be in secret. Then your Father Who sees in secret will reward you.

67. In response to Barbara calling Princess Diana a "bore", perhaps you should know your facts before posting. Princess Diana, often refered to as the Peoples Princess, should be a role model for all of us. Her charity work, compassion for the people and desire for her two children to live a normal life.... we should all strive to be more like her. As for the comment regarding "how sad for Camilla"... the pain that she caused Diana will never be forgotten, and Princes William and Harry should not have to remember that on a day that is meant for remembrance of their mother. I give great credit to Diana that with a life cut so short she was able to leave lasting impressions on her boys, who have grown in to fine men, and continue to support the causes she believed so strongly in.

68. Oprah should have just bought the place and kicked them out. Would have been classier.

69. This woman can't win no matter what she does. If she had said she wasn't going to attend, they'd all gripe that she was thoughtless and insensitive. So, she figures she should go....and what happens? they all gripe because they simply resent her and will never forgive her no matter what she says or does. I'm not crazy about her myself, but how long is this going to go on? Geesh!

70. Good for you Camilla! I think you are doing the right thing. People should get over the fact that you are now the wife of Charles and will one day in fact be Queen. Both Charles, Camilla and yes, even Diana made mistakes. The sad end was that Diana lost her life just before it really had started.

For all of the people who think she won't be queen, she will be unless our Parlement changes the law, which I don't think they will bother to do.

71. Oprah youa re NOT that great, get over it.

72. I dont know how Hippo ... errr .... Harpo, gets her head (or her caboose) through doors anymore. She must be one of THE most self centered, conceited overblown beotches in the public eye. I'm sorry, tell me again why we should give a rat's ass what she thinks ???

73. O no, it's Oprah on the rampage again.

It's always about her & what she wants. The rest of the world be dammed. "O it's your special day, I don't care. I get what I want."

Hopefully more & more people will smarten up & ignore the racist dictator. Then she will fade away, making room for the people who do have good hearts & intentions like now deceased Gandi, Mother Teresa & the very much alive Bono.

It's no wonder they call her O, because it's always "O who is she trampling over now?"

74. The best thing for Beastie to do is stay home,
she disrepected Diana in life, enough already!
Matter of fact " HE " should stay home with
his mistress~ he was the one that caused all
the problems to begin with.
He makes me ill~ everytime I see that puckered
up, ugly face.. I think what a jerk he truly is.

75. Kudos to the woman lawyer who isn't budging! Oprah who? How dare she interfere with the wedding plans! Is she jealous she can't have a wedding of her own - to Gayle? I think Oprah is Obama's biggest fan, but he is the most wishywashy candidate full of rhetorical banter, but not saying a word. I remember when he was on Oprah telling the world how he speaks proper English to unfornate youth who can't, and recently, he was quoted as saying how he doesn't think English should be the American language. My great-grandmother was an immigrant and she learned how to speak English because the US was so important to her. Obama who?
