...Oprah & Gayle's X-rated Cruise...Some of Oprah Winfrey's staffers behaved like they were on "Jerry Springer Show" when their bighearted boss treated them to a $10 million Mediterranean cruise!
Two couples were caught in "compromising situations" on deck...one guy celebrated to much and missed the boat back home...and another guy was found passed out near the ship's night club at 5:am--stark naked! There was also the no-show mystery of Oprah's long-time beau Stedman Graham--and back at work,the scandals had staffers buzzing. There is a lot of talk about the wild behavior' an insider told the Enquirer.
Oprah, 55, generously paid to fly nearly 2,000 people--her employees plus their guests --to Barcelona, Spain, where they boarded the luxury liner Norwegian Gem for a 10-day "Trip of A Lifetime".
The talk show Queen and her best friend Gayle King joined the group on the cruise that had stops in Athens, Spain, Malta and Istanbul. But Stedman was not there, and that set tongues wagging,said the insider.
The voyage got off to a racy start with the naked guy. He was found passed out--nude--- on a couch the first night, the crew members wrapped him in a sheet and put him in an empty cabin to sleep it off.
Two couples were caught having sex on the deck, and one guy missed the ship's sailing in Athens and had to catch up at the next port.But the trip's highlight was a fanastic bash that Oprah threw in a palace in Istanbul. The party must have cost her hundreds of thousands of dollars on top of the other expenses,said the insider.There were huge food tables,belly dancers,whirling dervishes and a huge fireworks display. To make sure there were no uninvited guests, security teams patrolled the waters outside the palace. Oprah's staffers were curious to see whether she'd watch her weight on the cruise. But the media mogul wore loose fitting ,long dresses most of the time, and never showed up at the ship's pool, said the insider. Gayle worked out regularly in the ship's gym,but Oprah never joined her.
Despite her generosity,Oprah wasn't looking for thanks. She made it clear she didn't want thank-you notes from anyone--because she didn't have the time to answer them all,explained the insider.
Oprah was more or less saying, you're thankful-- and I get it . But there wasn't anyone on board that wouldn't have voted for her as the "Best Boss in the World".
My take on this: They know why Stedman wasn't there, you never see Stedman and Gayle with Oprah at the same time..Oprah followers said the rumors have been going around for a long time. On the up side: what a nice thing to do for her employees, I am sure she knew some were going act like asses. No matter how big a front someone puts on, a couple of shots of liquor will strip it away and show their true colors. But it was so nice for Oprah to show her employees she cared and appreciated them. A lot of celebrities should take note. But hey that's just me.

I think Oprah and Stedman have an understanding.He does whatever she says and she buys him whatever he wants.He's been told to stay out of Gayle's way.
