Oprah ain't playing any games when it comes to supporting Barack Obama. Next month she will hold a star-studded fundraiser at her $64 million estate near Santa Barbara, California. The talk show queen would like her out of town guest to stay at the nearby San Ysidro Ranch but the it is already booked for the weekend.
"Due to the proximity to and the cachet of the ranch to Oprah's estate, Oprah's people have been calling the bride to either move or vacate some of the rooms to accommodate her guest list," our source snitched. "The bride, an attorney, is not budging.
San Ysidro Ranch Manager Marco Perry denied that Winfrey's people had talked to the bride but said, "The wedding party did cancel a few rooms - but we didn't chargethem a cancellation fee because there was such a demand for the rooms that weekend."Winfrey's representative at her productions, Harpo Inc., insisted that no calls to the bride were made.
In any event, the fund-raiser for Obama will have some strict rules. No cameras will be allowed in, and there will be heavy security to make sure it's enforced. Nor will guests be able to enter Oprah's house. Instead, they'll be dining alfresco on blankets under tents. And to avoid a mass crush of limos, they must park at a "greeting center" eight miles away and take a shuttle bus to Winfrey's estate.
Oprah's people wouldda been told to kick rocks and the only way she would get us to bounce would be to pay for my wedding and honeymoon and my guests, period, pointblank. Once I had the CASH in hand, then I would tell my folks to hightail it down the street somewhere. Oprah got it. And yes, I said CASH.
