Generous media mogul Oprah Winfrey has treated staff working on her hit daytime Tv show to a 20th anniversary holiday to remember.
The Tv star has reportedly surprised her Harpo Productions staff with all-expenses-paid family vacations in Maui, Hawaii.
The gift, which includes plane flights, accommodation and even spending money, was handed out to staff at the end-of-season wrap party.
Meanwhile, Mariah Carey revealed on yesterday's (24May05) Oprah show the talk show titan also handed out gifts to all her famous friends who attended her Legend's Ball earlier this month (MAY05).
Oprah handed out gift packages, so we're thinking, 'Oh, maybe we'll get a nice little trinket; she hands all of us diamond earrings - black diamonds and white diamonds. They're so spectacular."
As a special thankyou for including her in the Legend's Ball, Carey stunned Oprah by presenting her with a plaque featuring the sheet music for Bebe Winans' Legend.
Dear Oprah,
More employers should follow your example. What's wrong with enjoying life along the way? It isn't against the law. Parent tapes are so strong these days about the great American work ethic. Let's push the erase button. Hawaii is great! Right on.
