Stars Celebrate Obama Win

Oprah Winfrey was front and center last night in Grant Park as her “boy” Barack Obama addressed a crowd of about 200,000 screaming supporters as the nation’s first African American President-elect. Winfrey has long claimed that she is Obama’s No. 1 fan, so it was no surprise that the TV talk show queen was on hand in Chicago to watch him make history. In fact, not only did Winfrey show up to the massive public rally in Grant Park she brought along her BFF Gayle King and Brad Pitt as well. “It feels like hope won,” Winfrey told news reporters. … Continue reading →

Regardless of her size, you could always count on seeing this diva in drop dead gorgeous dresses that fit perfectly when she strolled down a red carpet. There were never any mu-mus for this lady.

The cover girl recently let loose during an interview that asked stars to reveal their meaning of true beauty. “Beauty is not just a white girl.
