Maybe you think you can just mess with Oprah on Twitter and get away with it. Maybe you think she's too busy/rich/famous to actually pay attention. Maybe you're wrong, jerk.

Somebody tried to get sassy with Oprah by insulting her appearance on Twitter(on the day before her birthday nonetheless). Apparently they thought Oprah was going to let it slide. She did not. Here's what happened.

Oprah Winfrey and 50 Cent (Curtis Jackson) have a history of not getting along. Oprah has long been critical of the misogyny in rap lyrics and Jackson has taken this personally, lashing out at the TV queen on multiple occasions.

However, SNL has released the dress rehearsal footage for the never aired Weekend Update segment on their website.
