Stylemakers reveal their must-haves to you! Supermodel Cindy Crawford and her husband, Rande Gerber, show us how they live! And, Cindy reveals her favorite pie recipe. Then, Donald Trump's daughter, Ivanka Trump, shares what she cannot live without and gives us a tour of her spectacular New York apartment! Plus, Oprah has discovered the perfect dessert and thinks it is the best 150 calories you've ever tasted!

Great! I'm the first to comment. I am so tired of Oprah doing shows like this. We all know how the rich and famous live already. They splurge. We don't need to see it again & again. What does this do for the average Oprah viewer? Not much. Most of us are living paycheck to paycheck. Most of us will never reach anywhere near the financial status of these famous people. All a show like this does is make a lot of people feel not so positive emotions. It doesn't help us one bit.

I know what you mean. Most of us aren't a bunch of spoiled SAHMs who were lucky enough to marry someone rich(I'm not attacking SAHMs). I wonder if there will be somthing for people who are on a tight budget without Suze Orman wagging her crooked finger in our faces giving us the All-The-Ways-We-Just-Don't-Get-It lecture. I am so sick of stories of people who live in the lap of luxury while the rest of us "cake-sniffers" are busting our humps and barley scraping by.

Some like shows about the rich and famous because they take them out of their own boring lives. I get updates about what is on Oprah daily. I chose which shows I watch or do not watch. Actually, I am watching less and less TV because I came to the conclusion it is just a theif of time.

I enjoyed the show and there was a bit of something for even those who like to bash these lifestyles show because they cannot afford the products and don't dare dream for better. Well Rachel Roy and Keisha Whittaker for sure shared some of their must haves that will not break the bank. Bashers, Keisha shared how she shops are Marshalls and Target. I am sorry, but if you cannot go into Marshalls and buy a $1.99 pair of panties for yourself then maybe some self searching is in order. Did you all see the lotion and the beef jerky in the care basket, that lotion is less than $6.00 and the beef jerky has to be even cheaper. This was a show for every pocketbook and those who want to moan will moan.

Boring..... And even more than that, these shows glamourize this kind of ostentacious lifestyle which causes people to get in over their heads in terms of mortage debt and credit card debt. Susie Orman will be on tomorrow and she'll do a fascinating show but she'll be dealing with people who want to live like the Trumps or Cindy Crawford. I think these shows should be avoided - I'd much rather see a human interest story or something that will inspire or even make us laugh or think. Oprah talks out of both sides of her mouth - telling people that things are not what life is about and at the same time she seems to be very acquisitive. I love Oprah but this show was boring.

Cindy Crawford told all of the Oprah viewers that she cannot live without her 50-remedy kit, by Washington Homeopathic Products. I have one myself. The kit is compact and durable with 50 remedies and a quick reference guide, AFFORDABLE and very convenient - all this for about $100!!! Cindy Crawford specifically mentioned using homeopathy to treat bee stings, mosquito bites and bruises. I turn to my kit to treat indigestion, travel sickness, insomnia and hay fever just to name a few. Homeopathy offers a safe, natural alternative that causes no side effects or drug interactions.

Perfect response and I agree 100%. Oprah is way out of touch with her viewers these days. She's celebrity-heavy and real-life-light. There's a war on the middle class in this country and we're losing. It would be great if Oprah could get real and focus more on what is happening to many people in her audience.

Suhenna, I agree with you. A luxurious bedroom is not a NECESSITY! Believe me, you can live without it! I too am finding myself watching less and less.

I agree. If I want to shop I'll watch the shopping channels - or Cindi's informercials - NOT Oprah.

I also get tired of the constant inundation of celebrity lifestyles in the media period. However, I thought this show was a refreshing change and actually made me feel a little more connected to human and practical side of the rich and famous. I have and use a few of the items shown, and I totally related to Keisha Whittaker. My absolutely favorite stores to shop at are Target, Marshall's and TJ Maxx.

Rich folks showing us how to shop. That'll be the day! It's not as if they are working with the same budget as us. These people have millions and millions of dollars. Money they don't deserve. They are no more important than any of us. Why are they buying inexpensive things anyway when they don't have to? Leave that to us middle class to poor people who have no other choice. Better yet, send some of the money they saved our way so we can have a chance to live the jet set life.

What a delightful surprise! I tuned in to Oprah to take a break, and there was Cindy Crawford holding up my mother's book! Maesimund B. Panos, M.D. would have been so pleased to hear that her work is still appreciated, and that it is helping fine young families stay healthy. Thank you, Cindy, and thank you, Oprah, for this treat!

I enjoyed the show. There was something for everybody's budget during the show so I don't see what is the problem. If you don't like it, don't watch. The Burt's Bees Wax that Rachel Roy uses is under $10.00.....good linens I agree, a necessity for me. Forest Whitaker's wife gave some great tips. I also shop at Neimans for their half price shoes. I never pay full price. Marshall's Mega Store and regular Marshalls are two stores that I shop at often. There is nothing I love more than a bargain. Investing in a good piece of clothing that you may think cost more is worth it in the long run...it won't wear out and will always be a classic. For instance....Ralph Lauren. His clothes are classic and last forever. My only question is where has Oprah been? I've been buying Skinny Cow products for years.
