Don’t Mess With Oprah

If Oprah wants to come into your store and buy, let her! Last weekend while in France, Oprah wanted to make a pitstop at Hermes to buy a watch for her good friend Tina Turner. First the store clerk, then the manager turned her away just after 6:30 p.m. while customers were still browsing the store. They claimed they didn’t recognize her and have been having “problems with North Africans lately.” What a crock of bull. Everyone knows who Oprah is.

Of course, it’s always best not to mess with Oprah!

Hermès’ brusque treatment understandably came as a shock to someone who recently bought a dozen of the store’s Birkin bags, which can run $6,500. In fact, Oprah had just ordered another one.

After last weekend, she canceled that order.

We also hear she’s called Robert Chavez, president of Hermès in America, to inform him that, although she has long enjoyed his stores, she will no longer be shopping there.

We also hear she may share the incident with her 22 million-plus viewers.

I am more than sure the Hermes associates who dissed Oprah won’t be working there much longer, if they have’t already been axed.

Katie Holmes not enough for a Romantic Cruz Dinner

Tom Cruise just can’t stop. And the media isn’t about to stop him.

While in Madrid, Spain Tom took Katie to dinner along with the parents of his ex Penelope Cruz. HIS EX GIRLFERIEND’S PARENTS PEOPLE. This is not something you do when your about to marry the man of your dreams or the woman you have been telling the whole world about. Katie was untalkative according to onlookers while Tom whispered in her ear. Well hello? What kind of conversation could Katie have with Penelope’s parents? I wouldn’t want to have dinner with my fiancee’s ex-gf’s parents on any occasion, let alone his own parents!

I just don’t see what the point of this is. I also heard from watching Extra last night that Penelope Cruz also met up with the “deeply in love” couple. They didn’t mention her presence at dinner, but if she showed up I would have excused myself then and there!

Holmes and Cruise:  5 Million Contract?

Katie Holmes began her celebrity crush for Tom Cruise at four years old when she saw him in Risky Business. She told Seventeen magazine that she used to dream about marrying Tom Cruise. The engagement was announced while Holmes and Cruise were in Paris, and plans to hold the scientology wedding there could be in the works.

But no sex according to the 5 million contract. That must suck for any woman marrying Top Gun Tom. Hmm, that sounds like a gay porn name. Anyway, back to the TomKat gossip... So you dream about this actor all your life (especially the underwear scenes from Risky Business), then he magically calls you up and all of a sudden you're famous and engaged. All in a matter of a few short weeks. But no sex? It can't be real without sex.

In 2003 she made a pledge to remain a virgin unitl she got married. Looks like she will have to come up with a new one.
