This story comes to us from Star Magazine. We would have heard it somewhere else or better yet, seen photographic evidence, if this was true. It’s still so interesting to contemplate as a potential story that I couldn’t pass it up though. Oprah Winfrey supposedly has almost no hair and what little hair she does have is dyed blonde like that “Stop the Insanity” woman:
Oprah Winfrey is always discreetly flanked by two massive security guards when she works out at Chicago’s pricey East Bank Club spa and gym. But her beefy protectors have little to worry about, since the 54-year-old TV mogul is virtually unrecognizable. In fact, Star has learned exclusively that when Oprah wants to go incognito, she simply takes off her wig to revealed a dyed-blonde buzz cut. “Nobody ever notices Oprah in the gym,” says an eyewitness. “She doesn’t wear makeup or a wig. Her head is practically shaved and she dyes the little hair she does have blonde. If she is recognized, it’s because of her voice!”
[From Star Magazine, print edition, December 8, 2008]
This tidbit is in the cover story in Star: “Hollywood Bodyguards Tell All,” and also includes the details that Oprah’s people move her seat with her in it while she’s on stage and that she has someone put her shoes on for her after she walks on stage barefoot. Those two parts I would believe as there are potentially thousands of studio audience witnesses, but Star is really stretching it with this blonde buzz cut story. That said, there’s no way that’s Oprah’s natural hair. She’s got to have something under there.
Oprah is shown on 11/25/08 at tree planting ceremony at the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls at Henley-on-Klip, South of Johannesburg, South Africa with Nobel Peace Prize winner Wangari Maathai. Credit: BARM/Fame Pictures

No, she bought a short blonde with a buzz cut. It’s one of her favorite things this holiday season.

In terms of the header image, I’m pretty sure the hair peeping out from under her headband is natural. But hey, if not, and if you’re always wearing wigs anyways, why not have hilarious fun with your remaining hair? In fact, I just might try it!

if i was a tabloid, i would pay a million dollars to have a photo of that blonde ‘do on my cover!

Oprah Winfrey is always discreetly flanked by two massive security guards when she works out at Chicago’s pricey East Bank Club spa and gym.
there are two main sticking points in this sentence.
Oprah works out at the gym ~ Really can’t see Ms. O sweating with the massesdiscreetly flanked by two massive security guards~ how exactly can massive security protecting a treadmill be discreet?
But this has to be my favorite line…
“Nobody ever notices Oprah in the gym,” says an eyewitness. -
lol “Stop the Insanity!” I will fix that.
-
She does not go to a public gym. There are facilities at Harpo just for her. And in her apartment. Bull.
-
oprah’s face is pretty recognizable no matter what her haircut… LAME!
-
She wears wigs and stuff on her show, but she’s shown footage of herself before she gets made up - she doesn’t have a lot of hair, but it’s there and it’s black.
And, btw, I think “she’s there and she’s black” should be Oprah’s new motto.
-
her real hair may be short, but i doubt she would go through the trouble to bleach it & she would never work out at a public gym.
-
haha short blonde hair?? whatever man, all i know is she needs to get Snoop on her show. Have another Martha segment type deal. PURE COMEDY!
-

-
