A place for me to pour out my rants without clogging the inboxes of my friends and family. Also a place to give info on myself and Mary, our family news and events.
fancy Paris shop was closed for the day
Published on June 23, 2005 By Rightwinger In Entertainment
Hermes, a famcy, high-end boutique in Paris, was closed for business when Oprah Winfrey and her entourage came knocking. They were turned away, however, because the place was closed for the day and for a "public-relations event".
The store has apologized to Ms. Winfrey for the inconvenience.
Damn Straight! How DARE they treat a celebrity the staure of OPRAH WINFREY like just anyone else, and make her adhere to the same rules as the rest if us.
I guess closed is closed, unless you happen to be famous, then you get an apology.

Oprah is a fat, self satisfied, spoiled twat,


Whoa there......what's with calling her fat? She lost the weight the good way..through hard work and determination. She's done her dues, she's worked hard for what she has...she didn't inherit it...or got it handed to her...she was in the right place at the right time to get her career started.

According to the news report I heard Rightwinger, the store people said they didn't know it was her and they've been having trouble with North Africaners so they didnt' open the door. The news didnt' say that the store was closed for an event or anything.

But I guess it's all in a day of another celebrity's life. You'll hear about it because they're famous!

The apology is not so much because of her celebrity status, but because of her wealth. Can you imagine unwittingly turning away one of the richest customers you'd ever have from your store?

If this story is true, then I'm happy they shot themselves in the foot and lost out on what would probably have been a huge sale!

Oprah is a fat, self satisfied, spoiled twat, no matter how many cars she gives away. Aint nothing but self promotion and a nice tax write-off.


I don't know much about Oprah, but I've been watching MAD TV lately, and it depicts her much in the way you do. My stripper babe friend also said she's a money-grubbing bitch. Is that really true, and if so, why? I'm curious because I don't want to dislike Oprah for nothing.

I love Oprah. Many people do. She's down-to-earth and compassionate. Those qualities are a rare find these days. But honestly: shopping?! Like she needs any more material possessions. Perhaps she was shopping for a gift. She has done more good in her 50 some years than many people could do in 10 lifetimes. Aw, let her shop.
