LOS ANGELES: Herms, the luxury goods retailer, has issued a red-faced apology after refusing

the talk-show host entry to one of its Paris boutiques last week. Gayle King, a pal of Winfrey’s who was with her at the time, says: “People were in the store and they were shopping. Oprah

was at the door and she was not allowed into the store. Oprah describes it herself as ‘one of the most humiliating moments of her life.’” — AP
