The Talk Scene Queen

This one goes out to my mama—the biggest Oprah fan I know. United Airlines just unveiled its special “Oprah Winfrey Show Farewell Season Plane.” The company, like the mega-media mogul, is Chicago-based. The Boeing 757 features an exclusive exterior paint job, including a fancy tail image, and an interior designed by the talks show hostess herself. Passengers will also be treated to a welcome video featuring the Big O. Routes will be domestic only through May 2011. There’s no word on how or if you can request it. Go to united.com for more info.

Want another way to be like Oprah? Stay at the Presidential Suite at the fabulously glam Westcliff in Johannesburg. The sprawling two-room suite features sweeping views of a tony suburban nabe where former President Mandela resides, a private balcony and an enormous bathroom. There’s also a restroom just outside the room for guests.
