O BABY! OPRAH HOSTS WORLD'S BIGGEST SURPRISE BABY SHOWER FOR 640 EXPECTANT WOMEN AT FT. CAMPBELL, KENTUCKY ARMY POST

FT. CAMPBELL, KY -- "This is our way of honoring your sacrifice and saying thank you for making our lives safer," says Oprah, as she salutes a record-breaking group of 640 pregnant women, all due within the next three months, with a baby shower like none other.  Oprah calls in the help of celebrity moms Sharon Stone, Heather Locklear, Elle MacPherson and Denise Richards, who send the moms-to-be taped messages about their favorite baby gifts, all of which are passed out to the expectant audience by the

Tennessee Titans cheerleaders.  Gifts include everything from bottles, booties and blankets, to chic diaper bags, nursing bras and brand-new strollers.  Plus, Oprah reveals that they will receive a collection of her favorite classic children's books.  Supermodel-mom Cindy Crawford stops by in person to share her favorite baby gifts with the women and then visits the post's hospital to report on deliveries in progress.  Oprah also gets a feel for military training when she repels down a 35-foot wall and takes a ride in a Blackhawk helicopter. 

Later in the show, the women are treated to a special live performance from Grammy Award-winner Martina McBride singing "In My Daughter's Eyes" and six-time Country Music Award-nominee Kenny Chesney singing "There Goes My Life" from his new album.  "The Oprah Winfrey Show: The World's Biggest Surprise Baby Shower" airs Monday, October 11, 2004 (check local listings).

"The Oprah Winfrey Show" has remained the number one talk show for 18 consecutive seasons, winning every sweep since its debut in 1986.*  It is produced in Chicago by Harpo Productions, Inc. and syndicated to 212 domestic markets and 109 countries by King World.
