O, NO

Here's what NOBODY told you about OPRAH WINFREY's headline-making trip to help poor, gifted African schoolgirls: O subconsciously gave the aspiring students a goal to shoot for when she arrived aboard her private luxury jet with BFF GAYLE KING, two hairstylists, several manicurists and makeup people, a dozen trunks of clothes…and a whopping 100 pairs of shoes! Marveled an insider, "What on God's earth did they think they were going to do with all those shoes?" Knowledgeable sources estimate Oprah and Gayle spent a half a million buck$$ on personal pampering – but the star deserves kudos for that $40 million donation to the all-girls school. (Hey, O, you shoe freak – call it "Imelda Marcos U!")
