That show won’t be based in Chicago: it will move to Los Angeles where the OWN headquarters is based, according to my sources who also say she wants to divest her real estate in Chicago “as soon as possible”. [5 AM UPDATE: I’m receiving no definitive word on what happens to her Chicago-based company Harpo.] She explained to insiders, “Why would anybody stay in Chicago? It’s freezing here, and I have a mansion in Montecito that I haven’t been able to enjoy.”
Another reason she hasn’t is taxes. My sources say Oprah and her people have long limited the time she spends in Montecito so she doesn’t exceed the number of days mandating her to pay exorbitant taxes as a California resident.
I hope she does come here. She and her ilk have long supported expensive statist and socialist “solutions” to damned near everything. It’s only fair that they pay for them.


yeah read to day the Cal U at Berkeley is going broke…Oprah has enough money to fund at least one more sit in at the recruiters office
HA, I suspect that California is probably offering her some sort of tax-funded payoff to move there.
