Benefits of having your own show...
1) You can humiliate anyone you like, simply for following rules.
On Howard this morning, they played tape of Oprah teaching the CEO of Hermes a lesson in front of a live audience. Now, I could care less about the CEO of Hermes, but Oprah saying race had something to do with a closed store not letting her in, and also saying she wasn't trying to play the celebrity game, is pretty funny. Tell me again, why is it that millions of women listen to this chick?

I saw the show and that is not what happened at all, Jellio. She started out by saying that the newspaper had gotten the account of what happened 100% wrong. The store was unlocked and customers were milling around when she tried to go in and shop. She said that there was only one saleswoman who was rude to her.
The CEO of Hermes North America was on her show. I have to say that he did not look at all humiliated and seemed very happy to be on her show to set the record straight.
Millions of women listen to this "chick" because she has alot of worthwhile things to say. Do I agree with everything she has to say..? No, of course not. As a side note, I would also like to point out that at the end of her show, she pledged $10 million (of her own money) to the hurricane victims.
I find it extremely amusing that one who listens to Howard Stern who question why someone would listen to Oprah.
Anyway, that's all I have to say! :)

whoa. Don't mess with the Oprah fans.
Cindy, do you think the reason the CEO looked "very happy to be there" was because if he upset Queen O any more, he was looking at millions of dollars in lost revenue?
And are you telling me that Oprah's making her very first show of the season about setting the Hermes record straight doesn't seem the slightest bit vindictive to you? As in...you mess with the big O, and you face trial by vagina. Just curious...but I do agree, she also does alot of good...nobody's perfect, that's all.
PS: And yes, I listen to Howard, and 90% of the time I think he's a total douchebag. He's just funny to listen to.
Michael Moore wrote in one of his books that Oprah should run for president. She would win in a landslide. She probably has the respect of more people than any other American alive. I'd vote for her. But not if it would mean Dr. Phil would be her vice president. That guy should die.
I believe your last sentence about Dr. Phil was missing a 't.' As in, "That guy should diet." But you're wrong -- he's the best-selling author of "The Ultimate Weight Solution: The 7 Keys to Weight Loss Freedom."
Kidding aside, his interview/invention with Pat O'Brien was the most compelling TV of 2005 so far.
Luckily, I had yesterday's Oprah on my TiVo when I got home tonight. Here's my take: Oprah's show is like her blog. If I were treated rudely by some clerk, French or otherwise, you'd find full account of it here. Oprah doesn't have a blog, she has the most popular show on TV.
I was so ready to bitch about the Queen of all Media, but that would make me feel guilty next time I'm bitching about Verizon or Community Coach or Adam's Beer Garden.
ok, we won't even ask why Aquaman had Oprah saved on his TiVo. My apologies to all. I stand corrected. Oprah is beyond reproach. The "Spot saved in Heaven" pecking order is as follows...1) Mother Theresa 2) Oprah 3) the writers of Lost 4) Scaramouch
PS: Jellio, go fuck yourself.
Jellio, we can't let you take all of the blame. Go fuck yourself and Howard Stern
:)
eat my fucking shit, all of you
Oprah, if you're gonna post here, use your real name.
I have a TiVo wishlist for all things Aniston, and she was Oprah's first guest. Luckily that didn't delete anything from my Designing Women folder.
That reminds me, can I have my Golden Girls dvd back?
Cindy is a fat slut.
Oprah, talk about the kettle calling the pot.... uh, oh, never mind.
