OPRAH WINFREY dissed by BARBRA STREISAND and talk show titan is more than miffed --As OWN just can’t get NO respect!
Barbra Streisand was so petrified that Oprah would pester her to appear on her troubled network, she crossed the TV titan off the guest list for a black-tie gala.
Insiders say Oprah was left out in the cold when Barbra’s good friend, world renowned fashion designer Donna Karan, was honored at the Dream Foundation’s annual gala fundraiser – just a stone’s throw from Oprah’s sprawling Montecito, Calif., estate.
“When Donna was drawingup the invite list, she put Oprah at the top,” revealed a source. “But when Barbra saw it, she scratched it off and told Donna, ‘Oprah can’t come. She’ll bug me to be on her network to boost ratings.’”

Limosinoe liberals taking off the gloves, I love it. How about a food fight at the gala?
Even if it isn’t; they both want publicity good or bad knowing they are irrelevant.
While selling her commercialized liberalism, Oprah is as racist as they come. BS is just plain ole liberal stupid.
What a pair. Put them in a mud-wrestling ring together!!!
Iran-Iraq War redux.
Can they both lose?
Forget waterboarding, can you imagine being stuck in an elevator with these two cows? Like Arnold Schwarzenegger says at the climax of ‘Predator’: “Keeel me now! Keeel me now! Here I am! Vhat’s the madder wit chew? Keeel me! Here I yam!”
‘Oprah can’t come. She’ll bug me to be on her network to boost ratings.’
How true.
Babs was never as revered among ordinary Americans as she was made out to be, and Oprah became irrelevant when a substantial chunk of her hyper-emotional female audience woke up to what a radical leftist she is.
Up til then, Oprah had a money-making machine that rivaled Ben Bernacke's.
Nevertheless she thought us middle class white folk too rich and compelled us to turn over more of the fruits if our labor to her government friends.
Don't tick off Mecha-Streisand.
You pretty much nailed it down right there. Mods, you can lock the thread now...
Do not believe it for one second.
This can’t be true, there is not enough room at a gala for guests plus Babs and Oprah’s ego.......
One over the hill singer, and one overrated talk show hostess. WHO CARES?
Ironically, saw this article while recording a documentary about a real pioneer for women, who was “Oprah” long before anybody ever heard of Oprah Winfrey: Ruth Lyons.
Her “50/50 Club” was one of the highest rated shows in the country, despite only being seen in four TV markets (Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, and Indianapolis). My Mom was a big fan of her successor, Bob Braun, in the 1970’s.

News report of her death in November of 1988 (Yes, that is Jerry Springer delivering the news.):

The documentary is for sale at the link below. I only mention it, because the proceeds benefit the Ruth Lyons Children’s Fund (Formerly the Ruth Lyon’s Children’s Christmas Fund) a charity she founded:

For years Cincinnati and the Midwest punched far above their weight in TV and radio through the influence of Crosley Broadcasting, WLW Radio and the WLW TV stations (WLWT, WLWI, WLWD, WLWC). The list of mid-westerners who rose to national prominence from the 30’s though the 80’s is very long.
So Barbra put Oprah in the back of the bus.
I thought I read somewhere that OWN was going to be re-niched and aimed at black women?
