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!

31. I don't care who Oprah buys anything for,thats her business and her money.Everyone of us would love to have just a tenth of her income.But Oprah is not that generous with everybody else,and she didn't give away any cars on her show,not one!!! Those
cars were ALL given away by General Motors as a promotion,the cost of those cars to the corporation is just a fraction of what an hour long commercial time slot would cost during the Oprah show.Not to mention al the good will and word of mouth they got,which is priceless!!!. General Motors wasn't being generous,they were just business smart.And Oprah just took the credit for giving away all those cars,which she didn't.And even if The Oprah Winfrey Show had decided to buy the cars themselves the money would have come out of the production budget,not Oprah's personal bank account.And by the way her father is extremely poor,Oprah does say she loves him but I don't think she does much for him,maybe she does and I just haven't heard of it.

32. i wish that Oprah would just come out of the close already.
Seriously, Ellen did and it only helped her career. Although,
going public might take some of the thrill away from their
relationship and maybe that's what they like most about it.
Hmmn...

34. so what if she buys her friend a house.who cares what her sexual orientation is.if she never gave another person another dime,she probably will have given more away than most people in this world and everybody on this site.

35. Well its a shame she doesnt take care of her own family. All that money and made off the white people who watch her and she must love that she is is hoodwinking them all who made her so rich to believe she is not prejudice. Poor Stedman hope she paid him off well for his services. His life could have been good with someone else. Whew well those are the kind of peeople who watch her programs so what can you expect. Wke up people she only gives to her same . what has happened people , is it because all they do is sit in front of the tv and watch stupidity and actually believe it all. Good for Gale she sure knows where her bread is buttered.

36. Susie, What is your point regarding the companies that Ophra backs? That they only hire black people and there are no white people working for those companies and are therefore racist companies (which would mean that they are black owned), Would you expect her to go out and look for companies where there are no black people? Does she seek out companies that show diversity in their work force? If so, in what way is that racist? By the way, can you name the companies you are speaking of or is it just something you heard or assume? I would love to know what companies you are speaking of. In my opinion, Oprah tends to cater to white people in all that she does. Have you considered the racial makeup of the people who work for her - overwhelmingly white. You are way off base. I think you are looking for an opportunity to spread a racist attitude toward Oprah. You are the one who appears to be racist

37. Oprah is a racist two faced low life piece of shJt. I cant stomach that fat tub of lard who is constantly giving everyone advice on how to lose weight..when she needs to lose 150 lbs herself. She should come out of the closet and admit that she and Gayle are lesbian lovers. If she werent ashamed of it..she would. She sucks the big one..but not literally...she actually prefers Gayle's little one.

38. WTG Susie Could not have said it better. You are right on.

39. What do White people say about blacks is so common you don't think it's racist, but when a black person says anything about what White people do towards blacks then we are racist. I'm sure you support and stand by someone around you who have said something negative or racist towards blacks and you are still beside them. Be true to yourself if nothing else. Alex

40. Whatever she wants to do with her money is her business NOT OURS. Hell, she can't take with her when she's gone. She has no husband or kids. Why not take care of friends and family. At least Gayle was her friend before she starting making money.

41. IT IS ABOUT TIME FOR THESE TWO TO COME OUT OF THE CLOSET AS HONEST GAY PEOPLE PROUDLY SHOULD DO.
ARE THEY AFRAID OF RATINGS?? IT MAY INCREASE THE RATINGS! REMEMBER ELLEN?

42. Oprah is not gay and even if she was I really think it would have been revealed. She lives her life in absoulute truth and has no reason to lie. Especially when she has so many gay friends. Sinice being on drugs and having sex with prostitutes is the "new black", being gay played out in the 90's.

44. OPRAH WENT TO THE DOCTORS THE OTHER DAY AND COMPLAIN OF FOOT INJURY. DOCTOR TOLD HER TO TAKE OFF ALL HER CLOTHES AND LAY DOWN NEXT TO THE SOUTH WALL. WHEN HE CAME BACK IN HE LOOKED OVER AT HER AND SAID PLEASE MOVE OVER TO THE NORTH WALL. OPRAH ASKED IF THIS WAS REALLY NECESSARY FOR A FOOT INJURY. DOCTOR SAID IT'S NOT, BUT I'M BUYING A BIG BLACK LEATHER SOFA AND I WANTED TO SEE WHERE IT WOULD LOOK BEST

45. Look ... Oprah buying her girlfriend a $7 million apartment is like me buyin' some guy a beer....

Oprah is worth $1.5 billion, and on a BAD year might make about $200 million.

So... calm down, and GROW UP !!!
