VANCOUVER (CP) - The popular website PerezHilton.com has put the tiny B.C. town of Alert Bay on the map.
A resident of the community on Vancouver Island e-mailed pictures of Oprah Winfrey after she visited the area this weekend.
The tipster identified as Zoe says the media mogul walked through the area without security or bodyguards.
She says Winfrey also signed autographs and posed for photos with fans.
The website posted three photos of Winfrey posing with fans, wearing a brown tracksuit and her hair in braids.
