P.S. To my last post Even the photo accompanying article has a picture of The Big O having a Big O about the shoes!

To paraphrase the new book this shoe thang is "The Death of the Sole of Capitalism"....Oprah gets all orgasmic about things and shopping. She only gets mad when the Hermes store in Paris treats her like an immigrant bag-lady. Why didn't Mrs Seinfeld buy shoes that poor people could wear and donate those. It is masturbatory consumerism.

To Starriana: I meant to "I hear that O gives

every day"

To Starriana: very laughable!

Here we go again: She's gaining weight and
blames her work.(Been working more than
15 hrs a day). Instead she should blame her
"MOUTH!"

Eat the rich... and their shoes

Oprah and Seinfeld are both arrogant and self serving to the extreme.
People think oprah is so great for her charitable work...but all rich folk need some way to lower their taxes. Oprah just gets the added bonus of having people think her to be charitable.
Seinfeld would have been an awful show without the rest of the cast and he screwed them all and gave them very little money . Seinfeld took the money and the credit while riding the coat tails of actual talent.
What makes oprah really insufferable is that she always says her fame and fortune had nothing to do with luck and was all because of her.
Luck ALWAYS plays a role in any result.
Any person with a bit of charisma and ability to talk could do oprah's job.
There are so many people who are actually adding something to the world and the betterment of humanity that deserve more money and our appreciation than oprah .
her recent endorsement of the silly book "The Secret" has damaged many gullible people's lives.

For all her beautifully human traits and heavily promoted awareness, Oprah has a number of surprising blind spots that continually expose a denser nature.

I also found the gift excessive and, frankly, embarrassing. Of course, I'm not a billionaire where clearly the air is very, very different. If Jessica felt over-priced shoes were necessary ought not one pair suffice? I found bad judgement on both sides. If I were Oprah I would've kept my mouth shut. Period. Her revelation of the gift made me lose respect for her (I love her, but sometimes...) and I absolutely lost interest in Jessica. From now on when I see her a grotesque image of sparkly shoes will dance in my head.

Question: If she was thanking Oprah for selling her book, for $21,000 why didn't Jessica just buy a shit load of her own books? I really could say more on this topic because it annoys me so, but it's late and I'm tired.

Actually, if you watch the Seinfeld show you'll notice that Seinfeld is always making fun of the homeless whom he disparagingly calls bums. I get the feeling he really doesn't like poor people and doesn't give a damn about them.

I really like Oprah and I don't thinks she is any more self absorbed or arrogant that any male CEO or Talk Show Host. She gives back more than any other celebrity ( except maybe Brad, Angie & Bono).

She could be like most celebrities and only think about hrself but she really cares about people.... she will probably give the shoes away to someone less fortunate.
