Oprah gets a playdate at Rumsey Playfield


Central Park in the fall is a grand spectacle of urban nature, but the usual autumn show there just picked up some fire power. This Friday, people pushing strollers well be joined by, um, Oprah Winfrey, who will broadcast live from Rumsey Playfield. Mariah Carey will be guesting, performing a song from "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel".
Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa, a not-exactly underexposed pair, will be on hand, as will a lot of the gray squirrels that make Central Park such a wild kingdom. But if you want to watch it from somewhere besides your couch, you'll have to enter a lottery, which promises to be fairly frantic. A press release outlines the procedure:
"A limited number of tickets for this special live broadcast are still available at Oprah.com. Anyone interested in attending must go to Oprah's Web site to secure a reservation. Reservations are first-come, first-serve. Anyone who plans to attend the taping must have an official ticket and valid photo identification - audience walk-ups will not be permitted. All tickets are free. All guests must be 18 years of age or older."
So, you might want pull yourself up off that sofa, by your bootstraps, natch, and make an effort to join Oprah for a walk in the park. And skip the hot dog cart on the way in. You know Oprah would not approve.
