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."

91. I would also like to add, my perception of Ms. Winfrey has significantly changed especially since her pilgrimage to Houston, Texas, in the aftermath of Katrina. She proclaimed that, "Everyone in America owes these people an apology." Really. Even the Houstonians for whom have contributed to their plight no questions asked? A THANK YOU would have been nice too! Ms. Winfrey is a racists and an egocentric publicity hound with horrible manners. She wouldn't be welcome in my home!

92. PLEASE READ...bio. info of Obama
Who is Barack Obama?
Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu , Hawaii , to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black Muslim from Nyangoma-Kogel , Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white atheist from Wichita , Kansas .
Obama's parents met at the University of Hawaii .
When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father Returned to Kenya .
His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a radical Muslim From Indonesia.
When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocated to Indonesia .
Obama attended a Muslim school in Jakarta .
He also spent two years in a Catholic school.
Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim.
He Is quick to point out that, "He was once a Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school."
Obama's political handlers are attempting to make it appear that Obama's introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this influence was temporary at best.
In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya Soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over His son's education.
Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam.
Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta . Wahabism is the radical teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world.
Since it is politically expedient to be a Christian when seeking Major public office in the United States , Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background.
Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential candidacy. Obama has raised more money than any other candidate. Where is that money coming from?
Please forward to everyone you know. The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level.

95. Oprah and Princess Di have one thing in common: they both want to make me puke.

96. Leave Camilla alone. Diana was a slut wife that cheated on her husband. She was nothing but a stupid school teacher that almost didn't even graduate from school and she couldn't find any other kind of work. That was, and is, an insult to the Teachers that can actually teach.

97. Camila has no business at anything having to do with Diana. She is a disgrace to the human race. How could that idiot Charles even think of letting her come? What an outrage!!

98. This is for cd #22 and Babs. You two loosers might be chomping at the bit to see "O"
fall from grace; but if that day ever comes, at least she will have her millions to
cushion the fall. Stop hating on people because they have done something good in
this miserable world we live in. What in hell have you two cow-pods ever done to help
someone in need.

99. Fleur, did you even watch the interview where Diana admitted she had an affair AFTER she realized that her and Charles were never going to be a pair, that there would always be "three in the marriage"? Did you hear the part about the phone calls and how the royal family, i.e. Prince Charles had the calls placed by a "young boy," and at the time of the calls Diana was doing some charity work out of the country and if she had placed "300" calls she "would indeed be a very busy lady"? I'm amazed how you can judge a person without having any facts... None of us really know what went on, but having watched her interview and watched "The Murder of Princess Diana," there sure are a lot of questions... Despite what people think of her "affairs" she was still a kind and caring person who didn't deserve to die the way she did. As far as Camilla, well she'll spend the rest of her life trying to fit in, maybe she will, maybe she won't.

100. what a graceful thing for the dutchess to do.
is awful the criticism she gleans no matter what action she takes.
if she and charles were physically attractive people, theirs would be the love story of the century and you'd all be standing in line waiting to see it. you sad shallow gits.
he'd asked camilla to wed him long before he wedded diana and she decined as she didn't want or need the attention. good woman.

after 30 years, at last they can be together and for the right reasons.
i wish them every happiness altho it would have been nice if they'd acknowledged the sterling toaster i'd sent as a wedding gift. (engraved, of course.)

101. I'm glad she's not showing up, she doesn't deserve what she has now. You're the one who broke that marriage up. Please, you saying that you're not going because of Harry & William, what do you mean, they begged you not to go. Please.....give me a break. You just wanted to be in the lime light. You're sick. I'm sorry, but you are no prize. My heart goes out to those 2 decent young men. They will live forever knowing that you Camilla were the one that ruined the marriage. Go climb in a hole.

102. You know this whole thing is rather rididuclous, let's look at this logically. Here we have a country where there this ding dong lady running around who is suppose to be a royal blood. Hello, get a clue!!!!!!This whole royal family thing is making me sick. I really don't think that these English people are very intelligent to begin with. When are they going to realize that all the King and Queen and Castles are really over and done with. Sorry but, The Princess Diana was a human being just like the Fairy Queen Mother. Yes, she was a mother who should have been a lot more concerned about her children instead of some rich Egyptian who had more money than sense. All very sad but, we have all lost someone near and dear to us and you don't see it splashed all over the TV. Sorry, but we have a lot important problems to deal with instead of Oprah or the dumb dumb English so called royalty. Time is running out so why don't we start looking for someone who is intelligent, knows sometime about foreign policy and perhaps how to run a country with a lot of problems. Which by the by I personally have not found that person in any way shape or form as of yet. Llast time I checked there were not very many American women who were going to be imtimidated by Oprah or any one else so she can fight her own battles. Let's get busy looking for a new President American style.

103. Truth is Camilla was in the third race a Epsom downs, I feel sorry for the jockey

104. Camilla did the right thing by staying away...the Princes' asked her out of respect to their father, nothing more. It would have been tactless for her to be there since she was a big part of the heartbreak that contributed to Diana's insecurities.

105. Regarding the possibility of Oprah asking to vacate rooms: people should respect others and O should be respectful of a wedding party. No one should be strong armed to change plans for an important life moment (being married). Oprah could have mentioned that should there be open rooms, then she would like to take them, but not to tell a bride that a fundraiser is more important than a wedding. I personally find that this could backfire on Barack Obama. This doesn't bode well...
