There's a rumor flying about that Oprah is house hunting for new digs in DC, so she'll be close to buddy Barack Obama. NYPost is claiming that she's been eyeing a
nine-bedroom, $50 million Georgetown mansion from afar. The property on the market fitting that description is the
nine-bedroom, $49 million, 1801 Federal-style house shown here, which features "majestic grounds & gardens, parking for 100 cars, ballroom, gatehouse [and an] additional building overlooking Washington Monument and Rock Creek Park."
Oprah has always been very open about her battles with her weight. In 1990 she hit her heaviest at 237, but
Bob Greene came to her rescue with
The Best Life Diet, and she dropped to 160 by 2006. By 2007, she was fit and healthy and even
ran a marathon.
Oprah Winfrey plans to go to Washington, DC for the inauguration of Barack Obama, and she's bringing her audience, which is
spread out across places like Saudi Arabia and another 140 countries!
During inauguration week Oprah
will tape her show at the Kennedy Center's Opera House, also the location of Oprah's rumored star-studded inauguration night party. I guess we can start calling it the Kennedy Center's Oprah House.
When Oprah announced there was
a twist to her famous favorite things episode this year, I was thrilled to learn the difference was in cost. It seems she is taking
a note from TeamSugar members this year and promoting several homemade gifts that are big on thought and easy on the wallet. Oprah said, "Bringing real meaning back to the holidays is my favorite thing."
If there's one Oprah show that gets the audience more riled up than any other, it's the one where she reveals her favorite gifts for the holidays. The audience goes nuts when they discover which of her favorite things they'll be receiving and everyone is on a big holiday/Oprah high. In the spirit of this economically grim season, she's doing things differently this year.
Brad Pitt chatted with Oprah a few weeks ago, and tomorrow we'll finally get to see the full episode. Until then,
here are a few more cute quotes where Brad talks about how funny the kids are and reveals a few of their little quirks:
- On being a dad: "[The kids are] the funniest people I've ever met. And you know it really tells you — it's a great mirror for yourself.

A very happy Jennifer Aniston was on Oprah today to catch up and talk about everything that has been rehashed this week —
the Vogue interview, how Brad's doing these days, and her Angelina quotes. Jennifer admitted that she thinks the
cover doesn't do the interview justice (we agree) and when asked whether she's dating John Mayer she answered "yes." She also denied pregnancy rumors and chatted with her costar Owen Wilson via satellite.
