We all know the Mighty O has the Midas touch, but can she help rehabilitate Sarah Ferguson’s reputation after a bribery scandal? We’ll find out soon. According to the Daily Mail, Oprah has offered the beleaguered Duchess her own primetime chat show on OWN.

‘She feels Sarah will be someone viewers of her new channel will be able to relate to on many levels – she’s a divorcee, a working mother, someone who has made some very public mistakes and a woman who, like Oprah, constantly battles with her weight.’
