Oprah -- Gayle's $$ugar Mama?

Gayle King really could be movin' on up to the east side, to a deluxe apartment in the sky ... and it just might be courtesy of Oprah Winfrey. We just got -- pardon us -- the skinny.

TMZ has done some diggin' and found Oprah's LLC -- called Sophie's Penthouse -- purchased the $7.1 million phat Manhattan penthouse two weeks ago. BTW, Sophie was the name of Oprah's dog, which just died. And Sofia was her character in "The Color Purple." Good detective work, we think.

O had no comment. Gayle's peeps tell TMZ they don't comment on her private life. They leave that to us!

Jerry Lee Lewis: 'Memba Him?!

16. I LIKED GAYLE KING WHEN SHE WAS ON LOCAL NEWS IN CT. WHATEVER HER FRIENDSHIP IS WITH OPRAH IS THEIR BUSINESS....THERE ARE TOO MANY HOMOPHOBICS AROUND , THATS WHY SO MANY PEOPLE ARE STILL IN THE CLOSET.AND AS FAR AS THE POWER THAT OPRAH HAS, WELL THE PEOPLE GAVE IT TO HER, BOTH WHITE AND BLACK,,,,,,,TOO MUCH POWER IS NOT GOOD FOR ANY ONE PERSON TO HAVE...AND I THINK SHE COULD BE A LITTLE MORE DIVERSE WHEN DOING CHARITY WORK...THEN AGAIN WHO AM I TOO SAY WHAT SHE SHOULD DO WITH HER MONEY....AND WHAT IS STEDMAN DOING THESE DAYS ANYWAY?

17. I might be wrong, but I don't think so. Something just isn't right with Oprah these days. She seems unsetteled and Lonely.
I have never seen her so vulnerable in her dicision making. On the one hand she has the religeous radio show with a year long Bible study, that changes the scripture , or turns it upside down if you will. Then she has the Gayle thing going on, which is none of my business, but if you put it out there...Hey. Then she rallies for Obama and pumps huge sums of money to his campain, while He's still attending the church she walked away from. And lastly she has Oprah's big give show, where she gives the contestants a Wad of money and then grades them on how they give it away. If you happen to be the best giver, you win a million dollars. I just think Oprah Winfree with all her money is, 'Lonely', and has to pay people to play with her. And maybe she wants to be Vice President of the United States. It makes you think!!! Tootles from Alabama!!!

19. I think people need to get their OWN lives, period. Who cares what cereal these people eat or what they BUY; they're not GODS!!! It's their money and their option to spend it how they wish; no one cared til they realized $$$ is POWER! Our country is so OBSESSED with the WRONG things, topics and concepts. We are FALLING faster than the speed of light as an economy and country(USA) and THIS IS NEWS??? No wonder we are in a state of EMERGENCY(360 degrees) b/c small minds produce SMALL RESULTS. Let's focus on our problems as a "country" and not "who's sleeping with who" or who someone's pastor is?? Try turning off the IDIOT BOX (TV) and try turning on your BRAINS. IT IS WHAT IT IS!! MOVE ON...

24. How many of us, if we had the money, wouldn't do the same as Oprah did for Gayle? As far as the Rev. Wright....
have you heard the sermon in it's entirety? If not, you MUST hear it. He quotes a white Ambassador Peck, who was on Fox News stating some of what Rev. Wright was talking about. PLEASE hear the ENTIRE sermon - it will give you chills! This man is AWESOME! No, I don't expect Sen. Obama to leave his Church - the Catholics are still attending their Church after those kids were abused - WAKE UP AMERICA!

25. The cars Oprah gave away on her show were not from Oprah - they were all donated by General Motors.
Oprah is like Rev. Wright in that she is in a position of influence, and she should be using that position for good, not for what's expedient for her.
A little bit of Oprah goes a long way in my book.
Why doesn't she take care of all the black children here in the U.S. instead of opening a school in Africa.
Take care of your own first.

26. Who Oprah sleeps with is her business. Rev. Wright is retired, his sermon was given 2003. We are now in 2008. Oprah loves white people. Just ask some black people. She has white people on her staff. As far as going on the campaign trail with Obama, that was a no no. SMILE PEOPLE !!!

27. If I had Opah's money I would buy ALL my good friends a home. Money is only relative. $7 million SOUNDS like an incredible fortune to MOST of us, but it is peanuts to Oprah. SO, what's the big deal?

28. if we stuck to the issues and not try to peep in everybodies bedroom there would be less envy, hate, and misunderstanding,what we see is not always the situation, your home is your castle run that and society won't run it.

29. I enjoyed Gayle King's short-lived show that was on a Ct. TV station, but the ratings were poor. She was also a news anchor for Ch.3 in Hartford, Ct., and she was a good one. What she and Oprah choose to do is their business. They have been best friends for a long time. If I were wealthy I would help my friends out as well.

30. I wish i had a friend like Oprah, Why should she settle for less, when she and her buddies can have the best. Get a life You hatters , I bet most of you don't even have friends. SAD VERy SAD.
