     *It's official – Oprah Winfrey's office confirmed Thursday that she will be inside of Denver's Invesco Field football stadium to witness first hand the presidential nomination of Sen. Barack Obama.      

      "She will be there," a spokeswoman for her publicist told AFP, without giving further details.

      Her homegirl, Gayle King, also told the TV program "Entertainment Tonight" that the mogul would join Obama for the final night, but would not address the crowds.

      Winfrey has been an Obama supporter from day one, and campaigned with the senator before Democratic primaries in Iowa and New Hampshire.

       The day of Obama's acceptance speech, Aug. 28, also marks the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" address on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C.
