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.

launch photo There are reports Gayle is moving in. A well-placed source connected to the property tells us it's "uncertain" at this time if Gayle will live large in O's pad. Gayle has said she wants to spend more time in NYC to work with O's magazine and her XM radio show.

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

77. WOMEN CAN BE BEST FEMALE FRIENDS WITHOUT BEING LOVERS.
I KNOW BECAUSE I HAVE SEVERAL BFF'S AND IF I HAD THE MONEY I WOULD BUY THEM ANYTHING THEIR HEARTS DESIRE.

78. I'll bet Oprah has made more money of off the commercials for The Big Give than she is giving away on the show. I also think I also think Oprah never gave away a car, the car company did. i don't dispute the idea that she is very lonely and all that money can't buy her happiness.

80. Susie, your comments represent the views of many people who are brainwashed by the media soundbite game. Dr. Jeremiah Wright is not a racist and does not hate White people! His church is Trinity United Church of Christ and not "that" church and I have visited his church and heard many of his sermons. He is an extraordinarily gifted preacher who speaks 5 languages, fluently. He preaches the Gospel of Jesus Christ which is best defined by Jesus himself in Luke 4:18. Before you believe the hype, listen to his messages for yourself. Warning: He does tell the truth and many Americans have a hard time dealing with the truth! Oprah can and should do whatever she wants. She has done so much good and her money is her money!

81. Hi why why why - is that really true? Wouldn't there be more articles and features about it if Oprah's family was struggling and she didn't help? I guess I should read the book, but what if anything did Oprah say about that?

82. 55. To all of you who think Oprah is sooooooo generous and giving. Did you ever realize she has to be. If she didn't give away money whe wouldn't have any tax write offs. This is her out and it means NOTHING to her

============================================================================
Flashylady, you may be flasy, but you certainly don't have much in the brains department. Oprah, and folks in her income bracket DON'T HAVE TO BE GENEROUS AND GIVING. WHAT SCHOOL DID YOU GO TO THAT TAUGHT YOU THAT? NO NEED TO ANSWER. YOUR LOW IQ SHOWS THROUGH YOUR COMMENT. OPRAH DOES WONDERFUL, LOVING things because HER HEART TELLS HER TO DO SO. NOT BECAUSE HER LAWYERS AND CPA'S TELL HER TO. Sure, CHARITY IS a write off, TO A POINT. Withe the amount of money she makes, I'm sure a few dozen CPA'S could find many ways to keep a majority of her money. OPRAH DOES FAR, FAR MORE THAN THAT. SHE IS AN ADORED AMERICAN ICON BELOVED THE WORLD OVER, and your JEALOUS FLASHY ARSE REMARKS DON'T CHANGE THAT ONE BIT. OPRAH IS A GREAT, PATRIOTIC, AMERICAN. JEALOUSY, BIGOTRY, AND RACISM on your part , nor anyone else on this board, WON'T CHANGE THAT ONE BIT.

83. What is the big surprise about Oprah buying a NY Penthouse for her lover? Seriously, is there anyone who believes that Gale is Oprah's friend-only?

84. When will the public realize that Oprah is a racist, and the sad thing is that the midsdle class white women are what made her what she is today. She laughs at all of you that think she is such a wonderful loving person. In reality she hates your guts because your white! Wake up!!

85. If I was a wealthy as Oprah, I'd buy all my close friends homes. Who wouldn't.

86. THIS IS FOR M SAUNDERS. YOU THINK OBOMA IS THE PERFECT PERSON FOR THE PRESIDENT BECUASE HE IS HALF BLACK AND HALF WHITE?! SILLY RABBIT! Oboma is not only a poor candidate for the people of Illinois but also for the American People. Besides his charming smile and being a good speaker we barely know Obama Obama is too much of a “star,” a fantasy figure. Obama is living on hype! It seems to me that Obama has tried to be everyone's friend during his 2 years in the Senate, rather than push for change on the issues that matter most to him. As far as Obama himself, he’s an accident waiting to happen, and I swear I will be there one day saying, I told you so. My advice, don’t cast your vote without doing your research!

87. People need to find the LORD, clean out your minds. SEX SEX SEX, is so much the thought of thing and it's disgusting the way some people think. I currently have a few same sex friends I'd buy homes for if I was as wealthy as she, and I don't have any sexual feelings for them. What goes in your mind comes out, so clean it up.

88. I do not see anything wrrong with Oprah buying Gayle a penthouse if that is what she wants to do. Yes Oprah gives a lot fo things away on her show but do you really think she pays for them> That is cheap advertisement for the products.
And why should she give any relatives money? It probably would be nice of her but she worked for her money and who knows how these same relatives treated her before she became so wealthy?
Who knows if anyone in this world is gay or not? Many are and do not come out. That is their decision.
It is very surprising to me how many peopke stick their noses in other peoples business.........
