Her guest was Tommy Hilfiger. On the show, she asked him if 4 x- r+ _" \' L4 O9 c: I
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 ' 0 K, I8 I- ]0 `$ D, l

All the same, we still have one place in the first class.' Before the woman
