As if Oprah didn't have enough things to ca$$$h in on, the talk show queen sells clothes she's worn at her store in Chicago.
Most people would think if someone's going to shell out money for the recycled threads they'd get to try them on right?
Nope, not in the store of Lady O. The clerks tell customers it's "to preserve the integrity of the items and ensure that Oprah was the last person to wear them."
Then why not just put them in a museum?
They will let you sit in a chair from Oprah's 1997 set and take your picture, but you can't take pictures of anything else.
Harsh!

Exciting news! Following in the footsteps of Justin Timberlake, Marc Jacobs, and Kate Moss this past year, GAP head honcho Patrick Robinson and Oprah Winfrey will co-chair the 2010 Costume Institute Met Gala on May 3rd.
The new exhibit will be "American Women: Fashioning A National Identity," and will examine "how the American woman initiated style revolutions that mirrored her social, political, and sexual emancipation."
Interesting!
What's more, the clothes that will be displayed were designed by the likes of Coco Chanel, Jeanne Lanvin, Paul Poiret, Edward Molyneux, and many more, and many of the clothes haven't been seen by the public in more than thirty years. The exhibit will run from May 5th through August 15th.
Exciting! Can't wait to check it out.

Jay-Z left quite the impression on Oprah Winfrey!
In a recent radio phone call, Oprah gushed that "Jay-Z is my new best friend," after her two-hour interview with him for her magazine, O.
While she doesn't care for his music in particular, she reveals that:
"He was so charming and delightful - and he smelled so good. It's the kind of thing where you hug a guy and the scent is sort of buried in them. When we went to the second location I could still smell him on me, it was like, 'oh my, this is wonderful!'"
And what makes him smell so good?
The entrepreneur has taken to making cologne and will soon be releasing his new scent, X Rocawear, next month. The release of the perfume will coincide with the brand's tenth anniversary.
Lucky girl, that Beyonce!

Oprah Winfrey is doing a spread of real women in the September issue of O Magazine. Well, reality women, at least. Translation: losers!
Kristin Cavallari, Kim Kardashian, Trista Sutter, and Kara DioGuardi model sophisticated fall fashions for the women's magazine. Though the styles are more conservative than what the women are used to wearing, they express their appreciation for the grown-up garb: Kristin tells the magazine that the clothes were, "sexy wihtout being in-your-face - it has class."
And we all know, K-Cav puts the ASS in class!
You can check out the full spread when the magazine hits the stands on August 11.
