Oprah Winfrey to Play Willy Wonka

By Rob Shuter Posted Jan 12th 2010 10:52AM

Move over Johnny Depp -- we have a new Willy Wonka in town that just happens to be Miss Oprah Winfrey. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of O magazine, 10 "golden tickets" will be in the February issue that goes on sale January 19. What do the lucky winners get? Find out after the jump!

The ticket finders won't get a tour of a chocolate factory, but they will get once-in-a-lifetime experience. VIP tickets to 'Live Your Best Life Weekend' in New York City from May 7-9 that includes Ms. Winfrey performing a special one-woman show at Radio City Music Hall.

Move over, Rockettes! The big O is hitting your stage.

For those of you who are not lucky enough to find that golden ticket, fear not -- I hear tickets for Oprah's big gig will go on sale mid-March.

Oh Look! An Oprah Loompah!

Do NOT send me one of those tickets - will head for the old 'round' container in the corner. Oprah is a no talent individual who was there at the right time and her giving away antics have bought many people over to thinking she is great.
Her politics - well let me just say - I do not admire them.
Willy Wonke and Oprah - at last a reason to NOT eat chocolate.
But....in fairness....if you think she is great....your problem!

Oprah will be the BEST Willy Wonka ever! Better than Johnny Depp and he's pretty great himself!

By Doobie

Surely you jest.

By roger

it will never happen because oprah will gobble up all the chocolate

By Lady j

I'm trying my best to understand why there is such a hatred for Oprah supporting Obama. Doesn't she, as does everyone else, have the right to support whomever she wants? And isn't it also her right to have anyone that she pleases on her show? Don't we ALL have the right to chose what we want to watch. If you don't like.. change the channel! Simple solution to an outragous issue. Just drop it already.
