Shoeless O

Oprah, please. We really don’t need to see your crusty feet. But Oprah does what she wants, and last night that meant taking off her shoes on her way out of Nelson Mandela’s birthday party to relieve an aching bunion.

The protrusion on her right foot apparently became too much to bear, and the Big O was spotted leaving the star-studded London event sans her usual red-soled Christian Louboutins. Clearly the 21-day vegan detox “cleanse” she just completed doesn’t cure podiatric ails. Oh well.
