Oprah -- No Fat Bash for Obamapalooza

Everyone inside -- and outside -- the Beltway has been buzzing about what kind of bash Oprah Winfrey's going to throw to celebrate the Inauguration of the century. Sorry to disappoint you, folks, but it ain't happening.

We're told in no uncertain terms by Oprah's peeps -- she's not throwing a party during Obamafest. There had been loud whispers she would be hosting a shindig at her ex-personal chef Art Smith's new joint, Art and Soul, in the District.

The whispers only got louder when people who tried to get a reservation for Jan. 18-21 were turned away because, they said, the eatery was "bought out" during those dates.

Seems O will be concentrating on her show, which will be live from DC that week -- and keeping an eye on her own waistline.

18. Oprah Winfrey needs to get out of this country and off the airwaves. People are sick and tired of her and her wanton ways. She is an egomaniac, glutton and a jealous racist. Few like or love her....even her friend Gail has been dumped for Michelle Obama.

Oprah is a troublemaker. Look at all that trouble the cow or is it a bull caused the beef industry. That is when she "discovered" the phony "Dr." Phil McGraw and his trashy wife, Robin during one of her "life-changing" moments and forced them onto the public.

Of course, there is that lawsuit over the ridiculous girls' school she built as a tribute to herself in Africa where all those hand-picked girls by Oprah herself were subjected to criminal behavior by a staff member.

Oprah Winfrey is the biggest fraud other than the Obama family the world has ever seen and I can't wait for her to disappear.

20. Oprah's the real deal. She climbed out of poverty & abuse & discrimination to give over $300 MILLION of her OWN HARD EARNED money to charity. According to Business Week no African American or performer of any race in the HISTORY OF AMERICA has given so much of their OWN HARD EARNED MONEY to charity as Oprah has. Oprah's the real deal. Lots of celebrities and world figures raise money & promote causes, but Oprah actually backs it up by giving HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of her OWN MONEY. The woman is the greatest. I LOVE HER!!!!!!!

21. WHO CARES about that cow Oprah!?!?!?! Personally, I am SOOO tired of her inserting herself into the President Elect's "scene"...Yes, Oprah, we get it, "First African American Prez" and all...We are ALL thrilled about the renewed sense of hope this new President brings to this country (All people, black, white, yellow, green, purple...)...but really, WHO annointed YOU the African American spokesCOW...errrr...woman????
I can't believe his wife is all that thrilled with her antics either...just sayin'

23. i've never watched the post on tmz before a couple of days ago and am astounded at the absolute shallowness of most of the people that post here. racist,rednecked,hillbilly jerks. if you want to move from the country to get away from people like oprah winfrey and obama go somewhere where judgemental,hillbilly behavior is admired, altho i don't know where that would be. did you ever hear of karma because it will surely catch up with you.

25. Hopefully, in the future, when she cries her eyelashes off she'll do it in private and keep her frickin' mouth closed about it! Sarah Palin's refusing her request to be on the show (after the election was over) tickled me!!! Not everybody eats her shi* and kisses her azz!! Go Sarah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

26. Is she about to pick her nose????? or did she and she is about to eat it????? LMAO I guess the "diet" is not one anyone else would want to be on!

27. Will you stop with the Oprah gives a huge amount of money to causes and charity? Her "huge amount" is no bigger, in relative terms and on a percentage basis, than the average a church going middle class person gives----10%.

300million sounds big, but when you're worth 3 billion---its still just 10%,,,,,that'd be like you making 30 grand and giving 3 grand to church and charity....I dont see you gettting any press or big deals made over it.

Let me know when she decides to do what Bill Gates and Warren Buffett have decided to do with their fortunes upon their passing....that fat cow probably thinks she will never die, and she has no direct heirs to leave it to, so what is she waiting for?

28. With any luck, Michelle Obama might "arrange" for Oprah to disappear forever. Afterall, she is living in that house she and her crooked husband bought at way below fair market value from the criminal Rezko who is also her next-door neighbor. I bet Michelle sure didn't like those gay choir boys who were found murdered also....you know, they went to her beloved church of Reverend Wright and were found murdered!!! Michelle Obama is a VERY JEALOUS CONTROL FREAK so Oprah best be watching her step.

I am sick of hearing about her. I am not a fan of Oprah.

30. Oprah will be too busy pimping herself and her "new life" regime to get fit AGAIN. Oh poor her...like people don't get fat! She's got all the money in the world and it can't fix that for her....sucks to be her!
