Her guest was Tommy Hilfiger. On the show, she asked him if ; F9 o' u. D& G" ~" Q
the statements about race he was accused of saying were true.

and Asians would buy my clothes, I WOULD NOT have made them so nice. I wish these people would *NOT* buy my clothes, as they are made for upper class white people '
