Posted Jul 31st 2009 10:00AM by TMZ Staff

Law enforcement officials in Chicago are currently investigating a suspicious package found outside of Oprah Winfrey's studio in Chicago.


Cops say the Chicago Bomb and Arson Unit is investigating a backpack with wires hanging out of it that was found in a flowerbed outside of Harpo Productions -- where she films her television show -- this morning at around 6 AM.

Oprah's studio has not been evacuated.

UPDATE: Cops say after conducting tests it was determined the backpack was not a bomb. Cops left the scene at 9:20 AM Chicago time without incident.

5. Dear #4. Please never procreate. I hope they figure out what's going on. A lot of innocent people could be hurt if it turns out to be real.

8. Maybe a Michael Jackson fan did it because she has not contacted his family or made any statements about his death? I've been wondering about where she has been. I can only hope her first comeback show of the season will be all about Michael as there are lots of fans of hers that are pissed off and have vowed to stop watching her show.
