OPRAH WINFREY WILL NOT GAIN THAT WEIGHT BACK

For decades, Oprah Winfrey has had two large closets, one for her fat clothes, and one for her skinny clothes. It’s no secret how Oprah‘s weight has fluctuated through the years, but now that she’s incorporated the weight loss drug Ozempic into her diet, she intends to keep the weight OFF. How serious is she about staying skinny in her 70s? According to our source, Oprah recently donated ALL of her fat clothes anonymously to a charity that helps battered women get back into the workforce. Oprah has never done this before – previously opting to hold onto some of her larger things just in case she gained the weight back. But this time she intends to STAY skinny, which is why she cleaned out her closets for good.

OPRAH WINFREY HAS DESIGNS ON LAS VEGAS

Will Oprah Winfrey be the next celebrity to move to Las Vegas? Oprah is NOT ditching her Montecito, California home, but she IS thinking about purchasing a $15 million mansion in The Summit, the posh planned community that many other LA celebrities now call home. The reason? NO STATE INCOME TAX. Oprah could save MILLIONS each year if she makes Las Vegas her permanent residence. She travels a lot as it is, so it wouldn’t be too hard for her to spend a majority of her time in Las Vegas. Another reason she’s considering the move – she’s in secret talks to take up residence at one of the resort casinos with a plan is to launch a show called An Evening with Oprah. She’ll entertain her audience with stories of her long career as a TV host as well as welcome the a rotating surprise celebrity guest to perform…

PRINCE HARRY OWES OPRAH A BIG FAVOR!

It’s Oprah Winfrey to the rescue! Prince Harry is headed to London for his father, King Charles’ coronation, but the spare royal isn’t planning to stick around. An insider reveals that Harry was having trouble finding commercial flights that worked with his desired schedule, so his good pal and Montecito, California neighbor Oprah offered him her private jet! Now Harry plans to leave just in time to make the coronation and he’ll return hours after his dad is officially crowned King to celebrate his son’s birthday. The insider says it Harry’s entire round trip including travel time will be less than 72 hours!

OPRAH HAS PLANS FOR MEGHAN MARKLE

They are neighbors and friends, and Oprah Winfrey has big plans for Meghan Markle – she’s mentoring her to become a talk show host. Before retiring, Oprah was the undisputed queen of daytime talk TV and she thinks Meghan has what it takes to fill her shoes. The women hit it off when Oprah interviewed Meg and Prince Harry for that top rated TV special, and they became closer living minutes away from one another in Montecito, California. As their friendship blossomed, so did Oprah’s admiration and she’s planning to anoint Meghan as the “future of daytime talk TV.” As we already told you, Meghan is eager to resume her acting career, but she’s also quite intrigued by Oprah’s idea. Oprah’s been quietly giving her lessons on what it takes to be a great interviewer and Meghan is all ears.

MEGHAN MARKLE: WHO NEEDS ENEMIES WHEN YOU HAVE RELATIVES LIKE THIS?

It’s bad enough that Meghan Markle had the UK tabloid press tearing her to pieces, but she also has two of her own family members earning money by saying negative things about her. The fact that the Royals courted the press but did NOTHING to stop papers from writing awful things about Meghan is shocking. It’s understandable that Meghan was hurt and disappointed. On top of that daily tabloid tirade, she had to endure nasty remarks by her own father and 16 years older half-sister. The half sister Samantha (who has reverted back to her original last name of Markle since Meghan married into the Royal family) admits she hasn’t seen Meghan in years and barely knows her, yet she can’t stop talking bad about her. As soon as Samantha realized she could make MONEY selling interviews, she become a talkative “expert” on Meghan’s character, and encouraged her father to do the same. Why journalists like Piers Morgan have been so cruel to Meghan is unthinkable- people who have worked with and known Meghan over the years have nothing but nice things to say about her. We hope she makes a wonderful life for herself in California. And THANK YOU, Oprah!

IS OPRAH TAKING ISOLATION TOO FAR?

Okay, we can understand Oprah being extremely careful and isolating her boyfriend Stedman Graham to the guesthouse for two weeks after his European trip. After all, Oprah has been sick with pneumonia recently and still has discomfort. But we have to seriously question her decision to isolate her cocker spaniel Sadie after a trip to the vet. Wouldn’t a sudsy bath have been ENOUGH to clean up the poor pup? There are no known cases of a human catching Covid-19 from a pet. (Most people would rather isolate their spouse than the family dog!) Oprah is setting a weird precedent – at least we can assume Sadie is being waited on hand and foot by Oprah’s employees.

ARE PEOPLE SICK OF THE SIGHT OF LINDSAY LOHAN?

SOMEBODY’S not as hot as they used to be. Despite relentless publicity, Oprah Winfrey’s interview with Lindsay Lohan was NOT a hit with viewers! According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 1 hour premier on OWN drew 892,000 viewers. In comparison, Oprah’s interview with Whitney Houston’s family in 2012 had 3.5 million viewers and her Lance Armstrong interview pulled in 3.2 million viewers. Lohan admitted lying about her cocaine use but avoided the subject of her real obsession, Adderall. Oprah might be having second thoughts about signing Lohan to an eight episode docuseries on OWN that will follow her acting career.

OPRAH CAN’T KEEP UP WITH VERNON WINFREY’S LOVE LIFE

#oprah #janetcharlton

Rich people probably have more problems with relatives that the rest of us. Oprah Winfrey’s father Vernon, 79, simply refuses to behave even though she supports him. He’s in the middle of divorcing his younger wife of 11 years, Barbara, and admitted that he not only had a week long affair with another woman, but he brandished a gun during an argument. Vernon says he only makes $282 a month in profits from his barber shop, but Barbara revealed that his daughter Oprah not only bought Vernon a 1.5 million dollar house in Nashville to live in, but she doles out a $25,000 allowance every three months from a trust she set up for him. Barbara wants HER share – of Oprah’s money…

WHY OPRAH BOUGHT A BARBERSHOP

#oprah #janetcharlton

In spite of having a strained relationship through the years, Oprah Winfrey came to the rescue of her father Vernon when he made a bad real estate decision. Vernon had operated his barbershop in Nashville for 50 years when his latest wife Barbara pushed him to buy a new building, renovate it and move the shop. A year later Vernon found himself unable to keep up with the mortgage payments and the building went into foreclosure. When the bank auctioned it off on Friday, Oprah paid $475.000 for the building and her father will continue to run his business. Instead of being grateful, Vernon’s wife Barbara lashed out at Oprah because that cut HER out of part ownership. Vernon did the right thing and filed for divorce shortly after.

GAYLE KING: IF OPRAH WERE A MAN, I’D MARRY HER IN A MINUTE!

Oprah Winfrey’s longtime friend Gayle King livened up the CBS This Morning show when she declared if Oprah were a man she would absolutely marry her! It’s especially funny because Oprah and Gayle have been denying rumors for years that they are lesbian lovers. (They’re not.) Gayle went on to say that her pal Oprah is successful, caring, and honest – “she has all the traits you’d want in a spouse.” This reminds us of our favorite quote from feminist Gloria Steinem: “We’ve become the men we wanted to marry.” So true.
