Billionaire US talk show host Oprah Winfrey said she was a victim of racism during a recent visit to Switzerland. Oprah visited Zurich last month to attend Tina Turner's wedding and while there she visited an up market handbag shop but a shop assistant refused to serve her, saying the bags on display were "too expensive" for her. The bag on display was a $35,000 bag. Too expensive for one of the richest women in the world? Well, The Oprah Winfrey Show is not shown in Switzerland so they don't know her there...but even at that no black person can afford a $35, 000 bag?

Oprah said she left the shop calmly without arguing, but that the experience was proof that racism continues to be a problem. "There's two different ways to handle it. I could've had the whole blow-up thing... but it still exists, of course it does."she said

The world champion is being heavily criticized over remarks she made about the victim of the Steubenville Ohio rape case. A 16-year-old girl who was raped by high school football players, Trent Mays and Ma'Lik Richmond, who were each sentenced to a year in juvenile jail in March this year.

During an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Serena blamed the girl for putting herself in a position where the boys could rape her. She said:

"Do you think it was fair, what they got? (The high school football player) They did something stupid, but I don't know. I'm not blaming the girl, but if you're a 16-year-old and you're drunk like that, your parents should teach you: Don't take drinks from other people. She's 16, why was she that drunk where she doesn't remember? It could have been much worse. She's lucky. Obviously, I don't know, maybe she wasn't a virgin, but she shouldn't have put herself in that position, unless they slipped her something, then that's different."

People were outraged by her remarks and blasted her on social media. See the Tweets after the Break

Hollywood's swatting saga continued Wednesday when an apparent prankster targeted the Los Angeles home of rap mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs.

Five patrol cars rushed to Diddy's $5-million mansion in Toluca Lake after an unidentified person used a 911 "Internet relay" system to report an assault with a deadly weapon, cops said.

"There was no evidence of any crime," a police source in the LAPD division that responded told the Daily News. "It could have put people at risk inside that house. What if someone came out of the house abruptly and didn't heed the officers. They might have been hurt."

A spokeswoman at Diddy's music label in New York declined to comment, but police said no celebrities were at the residence at the time of the 10:53 a.m. call.
