Oprah isn't the only Queen who's having to cut back.
Queen Elizabeth II has reportedly put the pinch on her spending, asking the staff to turn off the lights in the 78 rooms in Buckingham Palace she doesn't use and -- oh dear -- reuse fabric from over 20 years ago. She's even asking the staff to "reuse leftovers from banquets," says the New York Post.
Unclear if the Duke of Edinburgh is still feeding his dogs Angus steak.

Tori's already bought a new 6,700 sq. ft. home -- so now it's time to get rid of her old, paltry pad that's not even half that size.
Tori's 3,300 sq. ft. Westwood home is up for grabs for around $2.4 million, which (only) has 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, outdoor dining area, barbecue and solar-powered saltwater pool, according to the L.A. Times.
A few more babies -- and the accompanying magazine photo shoots -- and Tori will soon be able to afford another upgrade.

For the amount of money Bill Gates is spending on office furniture for his new digs, you could buy yourself an entire office building.
Not much is known about Gates' new venture, bgC3, but TMZ spies tell us the new offices are going to be dope. For his private office alone, he is spending over $2.5 million on furniture from high-end designer B&B Italia. IKEA, it ain't.
He's also shelling out $75K for the coffee bar -- no alcohol will be served on site.
Everything is so top secret at Gates' new office compound, we're told shipments have to go through a metal detector and be inspected by bomb-sniffing dogs. I'm a PC!

Here's another reason why people hate America -- other countries can't even afford to play our games.
"Who Wants to be a Millionaire" just got picked up in Afghanistan, where the prize of one million Afghani is equal to roughly $20,000.
But comparatively speaking, 20K is enough to make you rich in Afghanistan -- the average citizen makes about $340 a year.

For a shirtless guy in red hotpants, you'd think Mickey Mouse would be a little friendlier to the gay community.
Disney is throwing Miley Cyrus a huge 16th birthday bash at Disneyland during the same weekend as the traditional Gay Days, which brings tens of thousands of gays and lesbians to the amusement citadel.
Despite the fact that Miley's actual birthday isn't until November, the park will be shutting down early on October 5 to accommodate Miley and her tween minions.
Of course, the gays are more than welcome to hit up Disney's California Adventure theme park next door -- but who the hell wants to go there?
