NEWS ONE – Recognized as having a heart of gold, the humanitarian talk show diva Oprah Winfrey and her OWN cable network executives were having a creative meeting while dining al fresco at the super-posh Beverly Hills restaurant Scarpetta. When a hungry homeless man approached her table and pleaded for a hot bowl of soup, true to form, she responded in a huge way, reports the New York Post.

According to unidentified sources, who also overheard the now cable TV mogul say “I wish I could green light everything,” Oprah put the brakes on her five-course meal when the vagrant approached her patio table and humbly asked, “Oprah, can you help a homeless guy get a bowl of soup, please?”

The mighty “O” quickly responded to the man’s request by stating, “Please, can we get him some money, get him a meal.”

The homeless stranger respectfully introduced himself to Oprah and told her his name was Eddie. Oprah then looked at the man and told him, “God bless you, Eddie.”
