Oprah Disturbs Wedding Plans?

Page Six is reporting that Oprah Winfrey pulled some strings to have guests of her upcoming fundraiser for Barack Obama stay at a certain resort. Apparently, she wanted them to all stay at the San Ysidro Ranch but it was booked for a wedding. “Oprah’s people have been calling the bride to either move or vacate some of the rooms to accommodate her guest list,” says a Post source. “The bride, an attorney, is not budging.”

Winfrey’s reps and the manager of the ranch, Marco Perry, deny that there were any strong-arm tactics used, but says, “The wedding party did cancel a few rooms — but we didn’t charge a cancellation fee because there was such a demand for the rooms that weekend.” George Clooney, Beyonce, and Jamie Foxx will be showing up.

Wow. Well, I don’t think this is that unusual. I’ve asked people to accomodate me in certain situations. If Oprah had asked the people to change their wedding date, I could understand all the fuss over it. Still, I can also understand some people being irked by Oprah even asking someone to change their plans for her party.

What do you think?
