There's talk that TV talk-show host Oprah Winfrey may be adding a political post to her resume.

"The London Times" cites "well-place sources" as saying that Winfrey's name was being proposed as a possible ambassador to Great Britain if Barack Obama becomes President.

The possible appointment is believed to be a reward for the talk show hosts avid support of the Illinois Senator.

However, a spokeswoman at Oprah's Harpo Studios says she's not been approached.
