Getting the perfect Christmas gift for the First Lady of the United States and the mother of your two children, of course. Tonight, Oprah Winfrey`s revealing, brand-new interview with President and Mrs. Obama as they get ready for their very first Christmas at the White House.</s>ANDERSON: Tonight, the exclusive White House sit-down with Lady O and the Obamas. Oprah who some credit as the main reason that the president is now living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, sits down with the first couple for an intimate TV special. Believe it or not, it`s the first time Oprah has interviewed the president since he`s taken office. The special called "Christmas at the White House," takes us where cameras have never been before, following the first couple as they prepare for the holiday season. Hey, did you know there are 27 Christmas trees inside the White House? Unbelievable. Plus, Oprah also gets to the bottom of a big mystery, the gift-giving habits of the leader of the free world.

No word on what the Obamas gave their good friend, Oprah, for Christmas.

So on Thursday, we asked you to vote on our SHOWBIZ TONIGHT question of the day. In just moments, I was handed this, the final results. "Tiger Woods Scandal: Do you feel sorry for him?" Look at this - 17 percent of you do feel some sympathy there; 83 percent of you, no. Here are some of the E-mails we got. We heard from Patricia in South Carolina. And Patricia writes, "I am really angry at Tiger, but enough is enough. It really is time to move on. I`m pretty sure he has learned his lesson." Deb in Ohio writing, "Although I don`t feel sorry for Tiger, I do feel sorry for his wife and children." And I echo those sentiments. I`m guessing you do, too, Brooke.</s>ANDERSON: Yes. Me, too.</s>HAMMER: That is it for SHOWBIZ TONIGHT. Thank you for watching. I`m A.J. Hammer in New York.</s>ANDERSON: And I`m Brooke Anderson in Hollywood.
