Did you happen to catch the Anna Wintour interview on 60 minutes last Sunday? Probably not since I’m assuming that most of you are under 72 years old and find that show as outdated and slow-moving as I do. I tried to watch the Anna segment…but after a few minutes her image started burning my retina’s so I had to turn to a Simpson’s re-run. Anyhoo..now I wish I had watched it …just to see Anna’s evil little smirch when she admitted that hates fat people and how she insisted that Oprah lose 20 pounds before she would be allowed to be on the cover of Vogue.

Wintour had told the talk show host to drop 20 pounds to be on the cover of the fashion magazine back in 1998, the editor revealed during an unaired segment from her 60 Minutes interview on Sunday.

“It was a very gentle suggestion,” she said, laughing. “I went to Chicago to visit Oprah, and I suggested that it might be an idea that she lose a little bit of weight.”She added: “I said simply that you might feel more comfortable. She was a trooper!”

Winfrey, 55, must have listened to the fashion legend. She was featured on the cover from more than 10 years ago with the tagline: “Oprah! A Major Movie, An Amazing Makeover. She totally welcomed the idea, and she went on a very stringent diet,” Wintour said. “And it was one of our most successful covers ever.”

In the 60 Minutes interview, Wintour, 59, also defended the use of Photoshop to make people “look their best.”

“That’s one of the things that makes me rather angry, that I don’t understand,” she said. “That if you look wonderful, does that make you less important? Less powerful? Less serious?”

Anna also went on to insult the entire state of Minnesota,  “I’d just been on a trip to Minnesota, where I can only kindly describe most of the people I saw as little houses,” Wintour said. “There’s such an epidemic of obesity in the United States, and for some reason, everybody focuses on anorexia.”

Jenny McCarthy has come a long way from Playboy cover model and loudmouth MTV game show host. She somehow managed to turn her very average self into a major celeb by writing a few books, championing Autism research, dating Jim Carrey and now she’s inked a huge deal with the Oprah!

Jenny wrangled a multi-year overall deal with Winfrey’s Harpo Prods. to develop projects on different platforms, including a syndicated talk show that the actress/author would host.
The first collaboration under the pact is a blog by McCarthy on Oprah.com, which launched on Friday. Like other Winfrey proteges-turned-TV moguls, including Rachael Ray and Dr. Phil, McCarthy has been a frequent guest on “The Oprah Winfrey Show.”

That’s right. Jenny McCarthy will have her own talk show. I didn’t see this one coming, did you?

The National Enquirer says that Michelle Obama is still so aggravated with Oprah Winfrey for flirting with Barack during the elections that she recently shut her down during a White House visit for an interview for O magazine.

“Oprah marched into the White House with Gayle King in tow like she owned it. (Oprah) believes she played a major role in getting President Obama elected and expects to be treated like royalty when she calls on them. But Michelle had other ideas. She appreciates that Oprah endorsed her husband, but considers her role minor in getting him elected.”

The insider says that Michelle knows that they weren’t having an affair, but she felt it was as if Oprah wanted people to wonder. The trouble at the White House started when Oprah walked in and went to greet Michelle with a kiss on the check and Mrs. Obama stepped back and shook her hand instead. Then during the interview, Michelle completely ignored The O and instead focused on Gayle.

“Oprah felt completely left out of the conversation. And it was obvious that was how Michelle intended for her to feel. By the end of the interview, Oprah was seething!”

Oprah has ‘fallen off the wagon’ and is tipping the scales at 200 pounds again. Most of us lose and gain the same 5 or 10 pounds over and over…but when O yo-yo’s….she does it big. Forty pounds big.

“I’m mad at myself,” writes Winfrey, 54. “I’m embarrassed. I can’t believe that after all these years, all the things I know how to do, I’m still talking about my weight. I look at my thinner self and think, ‘How did I let this happen again?’”

Apparently Oprah’s been dealing with a thyroid condition that has caused her develop ‘a fear of working out’. I’m not sure what a thyroid problem has to do with working out or the fear thereof…but she IS Oprah so she must know what she’s talkin’ about. Right?

Oprah says her weight gain really hit home when she was freaking out about having to appear on stage with Cher and Tina Turner earlier this year. Because she felt like “a fat cow. I wanted to disappear.”

*Sigh* I do not like to make fun of women for gaining weight and I hate to hear them beating themselves up about it. Normally. But Oprah knows better. And Oprah has a chef..a trainer…food delivery…and she can certainly afford the therapy she so desperately needs to figure out why a woman who has EVERY-FREAKIN-THING in the world continues to hurt herself with food.

Gwyneth Paltrow was on Oprah this week sharing lots of personal tidbits. She dished on being friends with Madonna, how she suffered post-natal depression after Moses was born and her grueling work-out regime.

Gwyn invited O’s camera’s into her home fab home work-out studio to film one of her daily two hour work-out sessions with her celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson. As Gwyn gets her sweat-on sans make-up she admits this regime is the only thing that helped her shed the 20 pounds she needed to lose after her last baby.

See ladies…THIS is how they do it. No secret pill or diet…just lots sweat and giant rubber bands. Husband off on tour, nanny watching the kids…mommy has home gym and two free hours a day to get slim..that’s how they do it Hollywood (and London). CLICK HERE to see video of Gwyn and Tracy gettin’ it done.
