It looks like she’s at the higher end of her normal weight fluctuations…
FIRST. Oprah’s fat….
She is also at the higher end of her annoying scale as well.
She looks very heavy…. Am I first?
This is incredible…I haven’t seen Oprah recently…what happened to her 21-day detox/cleanse? She looks to be in the same wght range as Kirstie Alley now
p.s. Rian could u do a Charlize Theron post from Venice film festival she looks to have gained…esp since winning her Oscar
Can someone say fat? My goodness why does this woman let herself get this way? I live in Texas and everywhere I go there are morbidly obese people. Show some restraint!
It’s really amazing how this woman spend her time losing and gaining and losing… and not just a few pounds!
No, Sway, you are not. My comment is in moderation, so I am the one who should be raising her arms in proud victory. Alas, I don’t give a fig, so I will not.
She looks like a giant marshmellow. She could look better if she wore a dress to flatter her figure
Leave her alone!
She’s fat. Let’s face it. Why on earth does she keep doing this? I see a gastric band operation (and book) in the not too distant future!
WOW!! She looks fatter than normal. She looks like a WHALE!!! With all of her money, you’d think she could afford a trainer who could get her into shape fast!
omg people leave Oprah alone, she has more important things to worry about than her weight, like helping the world! anyways, she’s naturally big, she’s never been that thin at all.
Oh Oprah….I think she looks cute at every weight she’s been at. Leave her alone, paps. And obesity epidemic…it is not that easy for everyone to show restraint with food. p.s. your name is annoying.
She looks like a cross between one of those polygamist sect members and an easter egg.
I watched her show this morning though, and no matter what her weight, she has such a beautiful face.
Oprah rocks, doesn’t matter how much she weighs! She looks awesome!
She looks okay, but would look so much better if she wore clothes that didn’t look like their sole purpose was to cover up flaws. Instead, she should wear something fitted but not tight. She has definately gained weight, but atleast she is doing something good in the world.
RIAN - RIAN!!!!!
Please get pics of Chad Micheal Murray fiance, I think her name is Kenzie Phillips. She is super skinny now, a walking skeleton.
jodi, bwahahaha!! i agree, i agree!! she’s soooo annoying..I’m not exactly sure why..
OMG. That sums it up.
Alas, Sway, I see you were indeed first, in a comment that preceded your other comment asking if you had achieved that exalted position. Congratulations on your grand achievement.
She always talks about being honest with ourselves and knowing our spirit, etc. etc. I really think she has issues, beyond what she has let the public know. She is back to her super heavy days. Really SAD.
I think she should just concede to the fact that she’s naturally big. All this yoyoing cannot be good for her health. I don’t think she really wants to be thin, ‘cos with all her money, she can be as thin as she wants, yet the weight keeps bouncing back.
Chad Micheal Murray fiance is Kenzie Dalton…
Seems like she maybe has Binge Eating Disorder, which I’ve struggled with. I think it’s good, in a weird way, for people to see that no matter who you are this stuff is serious and very hard to deal with.
Those of you who say things like “Show some restraint” need to learn that overweight people would love to have some restraint. They just have a mental block that prevents it. In the meantime, if it offends you, turn your eyes elsewhere, twits.
man, she’s huge. with all that money and resources available to her, you’d think she could overcome her weight challenges…
Oprah has been at too many ‘up with Obama’ banquets.
okay so oprah is a fattie…everybody knows that
but being a billionaire fattie must be very comfortable
fat and annoying
I have no use for O! She should help the kids that live in the country in which she has made her billions. Yet her and Brad P and Angelina J all care so much about overseas children. We should take care of our own. BTW she looks like SH*T as usual!!!
FAT COW!!!

I think we can safely say that money does not buy mental stability. Certain issues go deeper
poor Oprah in bodywise
all that money, power and influence can’t make her thin
she’s holding on to that weight for reasons beyond her knowledge
SHE NEEDS TO RUN ANOTHER MARATHON MAYBE THAT COULD HELP SHE LOOKS OBESE NOW
she is a powerful woman.
she is like almpst 3 of me.
I love Oprah. Her weight doesn’t matter to me. What matters is how many people she touches.
OBAMA 08!!!
showing some restraint has NOTHING TO DO WITH IT! i have been on both sides. as a teen and early 20s, i literally would force myself to eat because i never had an appetite and could never understand why people ate so much. well now, i have to force myself not to eat everything in sight! your chemicals give you the appetite that you have. that is why some people can turn down a donut and some people have to have it or will kill someone to get it! it has very little to do with will power.
she looks better with a fuller figure, not so bug eyed
What’s eating Oprah? What void is she filling?
Ew that ass just protrudes out she better learn some self restraint because that is just unbecoming!!
It has as much to do with will power as someone who does drugs - and drugs are looked at as bad. In her case the food is just as bad as drugs!!
How many tents gave their lives for that dress?
I totally agree with- # ms_benes | 2/09/08

Her weight fluctuates so much, and so frequently!
I love her though!
have some restraint?? that’s a pretty ignorant view of someone with an addiction. Sadly, most people if not all people don’t want to grow up to be overeaters, alcoholics, or even anorexic.
she’s fat..
she’ll always be a weight loss failure. oprah’s weight always goes up and down, but more so up. goes to show you can be a billionare and even if you can afford top of the line trainers, nutritionists, etc..you can still be fat. i think she must be an emotional binge eater, she must be stressed or depressed and binges after her long day of work.
Being obese/overweight (and no I am not) has mainly to do with genes, in the past this gene was a good thing, it meant they could survive famine… It’s harder for some people to resist food… Genes are the gun, the enviroment in which we live pulls the trigger…
What a fat ass - learn to keep your Mouth Shut!
The dress does not flatter her figure, it makes her look bigger than what she really is.
she’s might be heavy but she’s riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiich
Oprah obviously has alot of issues. i hope she eventually finds some stability.. Anyway at least she’s doing some good to other’s.
Okay now don’t everybody get upset but somehow when people like Oprah, Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon etc. are posted I have a much more difficult time saying something negative about these ladies. Even if the negativity is truth. These women have accomplished so much it seems it just seem kinda wrong. So since I don’t have anything nice to say about this post weightwise I will just say Oprah is an intelligent, talented, generous person.
On the other hand when the Paris Hiltons, Heidi Montags, and Kim Kardashians etc. appear I don’t mind letting the claws come out if necessary. I mean women such as these are only famous for what they look like so if they look off I feel it is my duty to say so.
I wouldn’t want to be as rich as she if I had to be as heavy as her! She is Obese it is repulsive!!
ok forget about restraint..obviously some hit it right on with issues that go deeper but really with all that money she could afford lipo every other month or day
She is a beautiful person and always have been despite her weight…
well, Oprah’s proof that money doesn’t buy thinness… she’s like THE ONLY celebrity i can think of that can’t use her $$$ (through chefs, trainers, prestigious gym/club memberships, diet foods, etc) to be at a Hollywood Weight!
…i srsly wonder how much money she does spend on food, though.
on a more sympathetic note, i don’t doubt that she struggles w/some kind of eating disorder, and i can only imagine how bad these years of drastic fluctuations have been on her physical health (let alone mental health).
Sad she doesn’t get the real help she needs, wouldn’t it be great if she admitted she had an addiction to food and went into a program for it? She seems to have so much “pride” that she won’t admit her problem to anyone - wonder if she has a clue?
If she did this on TV admitting her problem and getting help, no doubt her ratings would go through the roof… not that she needs the money but it would be great instead of this detox nonsense and all that superficial help she has gotten for herself over the years(aka Kirstie Alley is another example that goes the “diet” route…)
Someone has to tell her that fixing the outside and having material things and success never fixes the inside(if she felt ok about herself she wouldn’t eat past the point of satisfying hunger)…. so sad she will die probably never helping herself and experiencing true self awareness. The woman clearly lives in denial. Keep pretending that you have your shit together Oprah - you aren’t fooling anyone.
There is such thing as a program for food addiction - like a hospitalisation?
EEEEEEEEWwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
OBESITY IS THE UGLIEST THING!! EW
“higher end of normal weight fluctuations”? She’s fat. That’s it. THis is another type of eating disorder. She is still a beautiful woman. (why is there Celebrity Bones - not very nice - but not Celibrity Fat - just the more polite “Weight Gain”?)
Holy crap!
I can’t stand oprah
FAT is the BIGGEST FLAW!
Lately I have seen her on Tv talking about her hypo-thyroid which caused her weight gain and now that she’s cured there are no more excuses! Poor woman
that is what she said I mean
Jodi, i couldnt agree more!!
i think she’s looking for something new, something easy, groundbreaking, or whatever else you want to call it. more than likely if she would quit looking for all that, and just eat healthier and run she’d lose the weight for good… i imagine that she does has some mental issues going on, but isn’t that what therapists and doctors are for? geeze… get the help, figure out what you’re trying to replace/fill/ignore and just start eating better. i know it’s usually easier said than done, but seriously, in this case, she does have the resources to take better care of herself. there are millions of people that do it daily without being able to afford the luxury of help… so enough with the excuses already!
That looks like an Amish-like dress…
O man she got real fat!!
Don’t like wot’s she’s wearing makes her look even bigger!
oh my!
that dress does NOTHING for her.
NOTHING!
i cant bash Oprah tho
My only problem with Oprah’s weight is that she doesn’t keep her mouth shut about it. I am disgusted with all the book endorsements and countless hours of television she has devoted to her “lightbulb” moments about eating and food that always result in the same thing: her inevitable weight gain. Teaching and informing people is not the same thing as her regular personal testimonials.
That dress wouldn’t do anyone any favours. I can’t imagine what she was thinking.
I think Oprah is so FAKE. All of her magazine covers are photoshopped like crazy and they have to put pounds of makeup on her face before every show/public appearance. In real life she is really not very attractive at all, and sometimes I wish she would just stop pretending and be herself like she is always telling her viewers to do. I can’t believe she gives diet advice when she obviously can’t follow it herself!
i think she should give up her dreams of thinness and just admit that her natural weight is fat…
she is fifty so she is allowed to be heavier but geez how can you gain 50 or 60 pounds and not do anything about it. i would certainly stop myself at the 20pound mark
Look in the mirror ladies. You all have “issues.”
Yeah that dress isn’t helping matters.
