Lets Get This Party Started
Brit Bailed Out by Photog

You can add one more thing that the paparazzi are doing for Britney Spears: Paying for stuff that she doesn't bother paying for.

Us reports that a photog actually went back to the Chevron in Sherman Oaks, Calif., and shelled out the $1.39 for the cigarette lighter that BritBrit filched on Friday. "[The manager] didn't want me to pay for it at first," says the snapper, Shane Partridge. "I told him it was no bother."

Don't encourage the girl to smoke, y'all.

Oprah Gets Down Down South for Obama


Hillary who? The biggest female on the campaign trail is, without a doubt, Oprah Winfrey.

The talk empress went out for what were putatively campaign stops but turned into rabid, full-scale rallies, especially in South Carolina, where 30,000 people filled a football stadium to see the O&O show, a record. Oprah even got 8,500 people to show up at an event in New Hampshire – are there even 8,500 in the state?

Party Favors: "Compass" Opens with Not-So-Golden $26 Mil ... Random Icelandic Teen Calls Into White House Red Phone


The much-hyped "Golden Compass" won the box office, but pulled in a disappointing $26.1 million, falling short of "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Chronicles of Narnia" as December fantasy releases. A minimum of $30 million was expected, and no word on how much Christian protests were to blame. ... A teenager from Iceland got through to a private White House line, reports ABC News, by posing as the president of Iceland, and paid for it – he was detained by police and questioned, though not charged.

31. Presidential vote in 2008 is a serious responsibility.

Entertainers are notorious for illegal drug, alcohol, and mental health issues.

For anyone to vote based on what Oprah cheers for is to be irresponsible.

By the way, what's in it for Oprah?

32. It really bothers me that Oprah is so visable in Obama's campaign. Not because she is backing him but because there are many people who will vote for him simply because Oprah is giving him the thumbs up. Personally I don't feel he has "paid his dues" enough yet to be president and for those who will comment that I feel this way because I am a racist .........Wrong!!! This country is in need of strong leadership and I'm not comfortable with any of the available choices!!

33.
This is a very important election. I hope voters are smart enough to realize that if a politican is so unsure of his message that he has to have a tv star convey his message. Is Oprah and her fans going be there when he has to meet with world leaders and make decisions that would effect all of our lives.

PEOPLE USE YOUR BRAINS AND THINK. NO MORE MISTAKES LIKE THE BUSH'S

34. Did anyone else notice MRS. Obama’s facial expressions during Oprah’s speech? She looked kind of pi$$ed off.

35. Oprah needs to sit down and shut up! I am so tired of her trying to influence the public to think the way she does. I was a huge fan at one time but over the last few years she has gone over board. I believe Obama will be president but know is not the tome. He does not have the experience.

37. These "lemmings" that follow and obey Oprah remind me of the group of 'lemmings" that followed Jim Jones to Guyana. Why doesn't these "people" want to think for themselves. Are they so ignorant as to believe that everything Oprah says as gospel. She is not any different than anyone else. She never got where she is by herself. She has a lot (hundreds) of smart people working for her and making decisions for her. She would have you believe she is a one woman world, but thank God there are some people who do not fall in line behind her. She is just helping to bankroll Obama's campaign. Obama's wife needs to be warned. Maybe Oprah sees more to this than stumping for Obama.

Don't be taken in by her. Think for yourselves. She is nothing special.

38. This whole Oprah/Obama thing is ridiculious.... Is HE that bad that he needs Oprah to "build" him up? He's the MOST UN AMERICAN in more ways than one.. Being Muslim, there goes our AMERICAN Beliefs, and rights. He doesn't salute the flag, so in the future there goes the National Anthem. Muslims don't celibrate X-mas, so say goodbye to holiday decorations, etc... I wasn't voting for him anyway, BUT really won't now!!! We DO NOT need Oprah making our nations decisions. Her show is scheduled to run one more year, then she'll be in the White House doing what she does, trying to sway people HER way.... She'll probably be on the VP ballot cause he can not make decisions for himself.. Just watch... How I hope the people who saw them were just there to see her,and are NOT true supporters?? PLEASE AMERICANS, WAKE UP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

39. i so said that even today with all you good people, after all that prejudice and whe have endured thru out history, and the state of the world right now. that the only reaon that you don't want obama to win is because you are simply not ready for a black president. just be truthful i quess prejudice will not die and long and people like you live. as long as Oprah is entertaining you its fine, but don't let her do something you don't like you are ready to feed her to the wolves well you better do something because your enimies in foreign countries are looking at us real close to see what whe do in this upcoming election

40. I do not need Oprah or any 'celebrity' assistance in determining who I will vote for. I am a bit dismayed at the fact that on her daily talk show she speaks so clearly with no accent, yet at this frenzied SC visit, she spoke from a southern pulpit. PLEEEEEEEEEZE. Not everyone speaks like that and since she NORMALLY does not, I found it to be pandering.

Of all the people in the stands, how many were really rallying for Obama? I believe it was star-struck Oprahians. Pitiful if that is the case.

41. These comments are so true and funny I love the one Oprah is only black when she needs to be classic....

42. Oprah sounds racist. Her opinion on President, when or why, what a laugh we had!!!

Posted at 1:02PM on Dec 10th 2007 by nomoreO

43. Not a good Presidential candidate. Not b/c of his color (race-card Oprah) b/c he does not have the experience.

Posted at 1:09PM on Dec 10th 2007 by not my vote

44. Well Oprah had a wise decision in the election....sex (being female candidate Hillary) or Color (being black(ish) Obama or Lesbian (again Hillary) well she chose color.
...and that is all this was/is about.
Anytime something trumps lesbian, you know it has to be powerful!!!!

45. THE RACE CARD:
AN ALL PURPOSE EXCUSE WHITES USE TO DISCREDIT ANYTHING THAT CONTRIDICTS THE PREVAILING NOTION THAT THE WHITE SOCIAL STRUCTURE IS PERFECT. UPON USAGE OF THE TERM, ANY OBSERVATION OR STATEMENT BECOMES MINIMALIZED AND DISCARDED AS A FALSITY.

THE RACE RACE CARD:
BRINGS INSTANT CREDIBILITY TO ALL THAT USE IT, AS THE RACE CARD ITSELF IS UTTER NONSENSE!!!!!

Look in the mirror. YOU HATE BLACK PEOPLE. NOW say it with me..... "I HATE....
