The 'O Team' Heads To Copenhagen To Push 'Chicago 2016'
Tomorrow is the big day! On October 2, the Olympic Committee will announce the host city for the 2016 Olympics, and it's a hot race right down to the last minute for finalist cities Chicago, Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro, and Madrid. These final 24 hours have been particularly important to the decision-making process, as each city flew their star-power spokespeople to Copenhagen, Denmark to make final pleas before the Committee.
While soccer star Pelé did what he could for Rio's case, Chicago's representation was a bit more impressive with both Oprah and Michelle Obama stepping up to the podium to pitch The Windy City. Oprah might rule it these days, you see, but Michelle was born there and remains a Second City gal, even if her residence is now the White House.

All Aboard The Oprah Boat: A Free Cruise For Winfrey's Employees
It pays to work for Oprah. The second most powerful celebrity in the world is treating 1,700 of her employees and their families to an all-expenses-paid Mediterranean cruise this week, estimated to be setting Oprah back about $5400 per person, totaling $9.2 million.
The trip began on the mainland in Barcelona, where Oprah celebrated her 55th birthday in Poble Espanyol, a popular tourist destination featuring shops, restaurants and bars. During their three day stay in the Barcelona, Oprah and her staff toured the city, taking in sites like the famously incomplete Antonio Gaudi church La Sagrada Familia.

Celebs Make DC a Glittering Hot Spot for Once
The party this week wasn't in New York or L.A.: It was in Washington D.C., where Barack Obama took the oath of office to become the nation's 44th president. Our own correspondent on the ground at the Inauguration sat next to Dana Delaney, spotted Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins at the swearing in and Dame Judi Dench and Heather Graham on the red carpet.
Some were there to party, but many were there to participate: Beyonce performed on the National Mall on Sunday at the "We Are One" concert, later opening an inaugural ball with her take on Etta James' "At Last." Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson attended the Declare Yourself! inauguration party together, and later in the week, Sam DJ'd the Neighborhood Inaugural Ball.
Some used the night to call attention to their pet causes: Ben Affleck and Jessica Alba appeared at a benefit for filmmakers who want to make political movies, and Rihanna cut a rug at the Feeding America charity ball, with proceeds going towards hunger relief efforts around the country.
Some, like Oprah, an early supporter of Obama's candidacy, brought all their besties to the party. (A tipster sent us a great shot of Oprah with Steadman and trailed by Gayle.) But whether they got all bundled up to watch the ceremony from the Mall or got all dolled up for an inaugural ball, stars in D.C. knew they weren't really the attraction on offer: The new Democratic administration was the real draw.
