Oprah has been in Chicago since there were “hoes and rats on the street”—but now it’s time to mosey on to greener, if sunnier, pastures, like West Hollywood, where Harpo studios are destined for relocation by the end of this year as part of a company restructuring.
The production company currently employs 200 people in its Chicago office, while OWN, which is based in California, has its own staff of 140 (no pun intended there). No word yet on whether Harpo employees will be offered relocation packages or not, but Winfrey herself acknowledged that “it will be sad to say goodbye.” Sniffle. [E!]
Because Christmas is just 296 short shopping days away, here’s a little something for that hard-to-buy-for person on your list: a miniature Beyoncé, which looks like a cross between a Bratz doll and The Queen herself. Like, even the doll (which, as much as I love me some Bey, is kind of creepy) has a strong brow game. Bow down, etc.
